You're probably right about these things being fixed (we're such cynics! :lol: ). I agree that Michelle Gayle was alot better & I also thought the guy from Go West had a good voice (& was quite dishy ); hell, even Dollar are far better than Tony Hadley with his voice that could peel paint fron 100 yards! :o

Is Tony Hadley the guy from Spandau Ballet? The name is familiar but I can't quite place him.

[SandraDee]

That's the guy. i always thought Spandau's stuff would've been better with a different vocalist; just my opinion!

[DISCODISK]

it was all the bitchin all the fightin and all the tears in the dressing room between dollar and sonia that won the show for me :lol: as for their singin... who cares :roll:

[SandraDee]

Yes, that was the highlight DD! :P

Arrested Development won the first American version.

Loverboy, Cece Peniston, A Flock Of Seagulls & Tiffany did not. :P

Cece was good (I always gravitate towards the black Divas) ..but Arrested Development were quite original and had two excellent black female vocalists singing with them...not Dionne Farris from the original group, I don't think.


The Flock of Seagulls guy in his baseball cap and long ponytail hanging out the back -- looked like that obnoxious workout infomercial guy, is his name Tony???? I know that dude is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Leif Garrett bald with the ponytail trying to fool us like Andre Agassi used to do with the headbands. :P :lol:

the part I enjoyed was when they showed the artists in their homes, I always like that. It was also nice that the artists were donating their winnings to charity. But the direction of the show was what I had a problem with. Each artist was only allowed to perform a tiny snippet of their best known songs, much of the music sounded canned to me, and dear God, so many annoying commercials! On the subject of the postings here regarding Air Supply, it's true they could have been a bit more versatile, but I still enjoy songs like "Lost in Love" and "All Out of Love" as long as I don't hear them too often (they often remind me of the group called Bread). And here's a note for disco fans: Air Supply actually did an album produced by Chic's Bernard Edwards, though as I recall, it sure wasn't disco but did have an uptempo song or two.

I couldn't believe Vanilla Ice won this week. :-?

I thought either The Knack or Tommy Tutone would get it.

[markydefad]

Are you kiddin', nrg???? It seemed so obvious to me that the kidz was diggin' Vanilla Ice-- as soon as he was done with the second number--I was sure he was the winner. In truth, the new cover versions by the others were pretty weak.

The lineup:
The Knack ("My Sharona" then Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl")
Haddaway ("What Is Love" (what else?) then Britney's "Toxic")
Tommy Tutone (867-5309 (what else?) then Blink-182's "All The Small Things")
The Motels ("Only the Lonely" then a rocker version of Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why")
Vanilla Ice (Ice Ice Baby" then a rappy version "Survivor" inspired by Destiny's Child, I guess)

DA KIDZ LUVZ DA RAP!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Next week--NO RAPPERS!!!! :P :P :P :P

I saw Irene Cara, Howard Jones...and my mind has drawn a blank on the rest of the lineup...some were the names in the early posts mentioned here.

Oh, Cameo and I think Wang Chung are on next week also.

[nrgbeat]

I didn't like The Motels take on the Norah Jones song. Didn't even sound like the same song.

[markydefad]

I know. After she finished "Only The Lonely" when Martha said she was doing Norah Jones for her "cover"...I thought..."Ohhh, good choice for her voice!!" and then she sped it up and snarled all the way through it in a Courtney Love kinda rock way. When It started I couldn't recognize the song at all. GONG!!!!! BAD CHOICE. NEXT!!!!! :roll:

[efunk_adelic]

I forgot to watch.... :-?

[nrgbeat]

I'm glad Irene Cara won, though her vocals on "Flashdance" were a little rough in spots.

Got a kick out of Wang Chung doing the Nelly song.

The rest were just okay for me, but didn't like Sophie B. Hawkins at all.

Where can I get a codpiece?

[nrgbeat]

Thelma Houston is on next week. :D

[efunk_adelic]

I can't wait! :D
