Saw Tiffany and Loverboy and they both kicked ass. Saw some dude on a keyboard and felt really bad cause it just wasn't happening.
Edit: Was Tiffany pregnant or just carrying around some belly? She looked damn fine either way. Last edited by Suicane75 : 06-02-2005 at 10:31 PM. |

Can we get jbmagic's ranking changed to "Reality TV Junkie," please? I don't think I've seen a thread started by him in the last week that didn't somehow center around one of those pieces of garbage.

Hey man, this was a great show. Seeing an old, fat, grey haired, pot bellied Mike Reno step out on stage and bring it was a marvelous thing, it says something about the human condition when your looking at a guy and fully expecting him to fall on his face in a UIC moment to end all UIC moments and he shows you that he's still got it. Fuck, im tired. |

Are you kidding? Reno could barely get through Workin for the Weekend. My wife and I both came to the conclusion about 2 minutes in that this show that we were going to be more depressed than entertained. Luckily, it got better, and in fact, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Reno actually pulled off Hero better than his own song. A Flock of Seagull (because let's face it, he's the only one left) was awful, just awful. That guy cannot sing one note anymore. That one really made me cringe and feel bad for the guy. The others...eh. Never heard of CeCe Whatsherface and never really heard Arrested Development (although I know Dionne Farris came from that band, and I assume she wasn't there last night). And Tiffany was what I expected - a little older, fatter, and still with a decent voice. Overall, a decent show, but they should be pairing them better. Forcing Flock and Loverboy to go up against a 90's hip-hop group and singer was unfair. Put them up against Wang Chung and other 50 year old, fat, balding has-beens and let them compete on a level playing field. Oh, and that host needs to go. If they wanted someone who couldn't speak English, they should have hired Billy Connolly - at least he would have been entertaining.

Yeah I thought that show was kinda sad. And I thought the idea was a good one before I watched it.

Oh, I agree completely. I thought they did a great job with that song. Certainly better than Bo did on AI. And to borrow a phrase from that show, they "made it their own." Honestly, I was just happy for Mike Reno that he didn't embarass himself on that cover. I thought it would be a trainwreck based on the first song, but he pulled it off.

Haven;t seen this particular show, but Vernon Kaye is usually pretty funny - he goes for the cheeky northern chappie angle most of the time, but I have seen one show where he was obviously tightly scripted and he suffered for it. Maybe that's the case on this one too?
Didn;t realise he was married to Tess Daly though - lucky bastard

After the first three lines of "Working For the Weekend," I thought Reno was going to pass out from overexertion. But they kind of turned it around and the band actually sounded pretty sharp.
The show was pretty fun. I'll probably watch it again. |

I was definitely in the underwhelmed category. Arrested Development was good, I just was never a big fan of that style. I thought CeCe's and Tiffany's voices held up fairly nicely; if anything, Tiffany may have been a bit better with a little more maturity and edge in her voice. I would rather have seen her sing "Could've Been" than "I Think We're Alone Now," and nobody including Kelly Clarkson should seing a Kelly Clarkson song. Let's stop beating around the bush -- Tiffany's breast job was the real star of the evening, although she really can't pull off the outfit she was trying to.
Loverboy and Flock of Seagulls were pretty bad. I agree with Ksyrup -- I thought the cover was better than "Workin' for the Weekend." Reno's voice is shot. I mentioned to Mrs. kcchief19 that Flock of Seagulls didn't even sound like a decent Flock of Seagulls tribute band. My biggest complaint were the songs were too short. I think Tiffany got to belt out most of "I Think We're Alone Now," but most of the old school songs were 90 seconds. I think the covers were longer, but I don't think they were full versions either. Five artists + 40 minutes of airtime / two songs each should = more than 2 minutes per song. There was too much fluff in the production. And that host is a total jack. He reminds me of that dumbass on Entertainment Tonight, Coco or whatever. How that guy landed a hot chick I have no idea. |

I thought this was the best comment about Tiffany doing Clarkson (from another board): "Oh God....a has-been star doing her own Karaoke act with a song sung by a pop star created from another, glorified Karaoke show...unholy."

LOL! I just read someone's blog where they said Reno's version of Eating Through the Weekend was God-awful. I hate to say it, but this is the kind of show we need during the summer...

From: Jeff Watson (Night Ranger)
Allow me to set this story straight, and feel free to share this with anyone or any site that may be misconstruing this issue. Night Ranger was slated to appear on "Hit Me Baby One More Time" on NBC, and we had already interrupted our recording schedule to record and turn in to NBC the edited TV track of Sister Christian. We also spent an entire day filming interviews and background video material to be used on the show. What precluded us from being able to do the show at that time was that, as you pointed out, the bands need to pick a second recent hit by someone else to perform and we were without a second song. We chose and re-chose, and submitted and re-submitted 7 to 10 songs to perform (from a list and guideline of songs provided us) that NBC couldn't get cleared to use. (all songs have to be cleared for use on Television, Film, or whatever media by the composer and publisher) As of Friday morning, less than 48 hours before we were supposed to fly to Hollywood to film, NBC still hadn't cleared a song, and it would have been physically impossible for us to learn, re-arrange, and re-record, and then perform live, someone else's song to any degree of our standard of professionalism and talent within that space of time. We're still in place to go on the show if NBC picks up the program for future episodes and we appreciate all the fans that want to see us, as well as recognize the importance of being out there in TV land for those that don't get to see us live in concert.

BTW, I thought this week was way better than last, simply because The Knack was excellent and Tommy Tutone wasn't too bad, either. Vanilla Ice was still the ass clown he always is, and the fact that he "won" ...let's just say I'm glad the money went to charity.
Next week? Try Cameo, Howard Jones, Irene Cara, Sophie B. Hawkins and Wang Chung. That show is going to suck monkey balls.

Did anyone else find it amusing that Vanilla Ice's cover of "Survivor" had nothing in common with the original song other than the word "Survivor"?

I don't think it is live... in fact I'm certain of it, because it's quite clear that the post-production sound guy has a sound clip of fans yelling "whooo" that's he fallen in love with and insists on playing on a loop throughout the show.
Artist: This song was written for my mother, who passed away when I was an infant... Audience: WHOOO! The whole show has the feel of something where they tape all the episodes back-to-back.

I never really liked Haddaway too much, but I thought his cover was the most radio-friendly of the bunch. The Knack's cover was pretty good too.
The host is a tool, but it is compelling television... |

Occasionally, Bill Simmons mines a nugget:
When NBA TV finally puts me in charge of its network, ... My fourth move will be "H-O-R-S-E Me Baby One More Time," where failed lottery picks play games of H-O-R-S-E for $25,000. Good stuff.

Different song. They were a 2-hit wonder!
Actually, Jeopardy was their biggest hit, and they had one other top 40 song that I don't remember. But I've always liked the Breakup Song. Then again, I don't think I've heard it for over a decade.

Next week...Animotion, Juice Newton, Missing Persons (electric tape bra???), Shannon and a performer yet to be announced. I predict Shannon will win.
