I haven't seen the movie, but Motown done well is the only reason I could think of to see it, so that one's off the list.DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182965443810437028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11211639.post-1167844911309889662007-01-03T12:21:00.000-05:002007-01-03T12:21:00.000-05:00Happy New Year!

I whipped my head around so fast it almost fell off my neck... Just another reason to never, EVER tune in on "American Idol." Glad you were able to keep the truck on the road.

She sang things like,"Jump Into My Fire", "I'd Rather Be A Blind Girl", and - gasp - <BR/>"Damn Your Eyes". <BR/>I'm not even gonna say nothin' about that otehr so-called singing you mentioned.<BR/>Hope you have a great new year.isabelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175928587455507236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11211639.post-1167585407362290312006-12-31T12:16:00.000-05:002006-12-31T12:16:00.000-05:00Ah yes, the school of "if you sing really really l...Ah yes, the school of "if you sing really really loudly, everyone will think you're talented".punkinsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04438713256926490168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11211639.post-1167584148485128992006-12-31T11:55:00.000-05:002006-12-31T11:55:00.000-05:00I think it was b/c she was overweight?

But I do want to join in the condemnation of the Whitney Houston School of Howling as Singing. Please make it stop.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the showtune in question is a real belter and was a showstopper when Jennifer Holliday sang it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
