Dirty Fingernails iz Real
Again, way to go, America! I love this country.
I was also right about the Pet Shop Boys performing "West End Girls" (Well, what else would they have done?). Although I think the truly awesome thing about that song is that the entire backing instrumentation is performed on a synthesizer. Harold Wheeler and the "DwTS"O be damned!
So, I sit here catching up on a belated results show (Except for the last 3 minutes. America, that was GOLDEN.),contemplating the ways of the world, and sipping an eggnog latte. Don't ask me why. I have a morbid fascination with eggnog...and I'm Jewish.
A few things I've realized since this season began. Yes, there is an Il Divo. They suck. Yes, there is something worse than Il Divo, and it's The Ten Tenors. And it's actually a good thing to mention this show as your favorite in job interviews. Bosses tend to err on the side of the dance.
Let's see, what else? The former President of Namibia said they were all winners. Except for Joey. And the dancers performed a rather crappy "tribute" to James Bond in the name of promoting the new Bond movie, Casino Royale. SWOP it ain't. The movie or the tribute.
Arguably, the best thing about this episode was the sneak preview footage of the upcoming "Dancing with the Stars" road show, appropriately sponsored by Slim-Fast(TM) They dance as a group. They argue about whose season was the best. Joey Mac is an asswipe. They gripe about how Drew Lachey and Joey are going to be doing the bus-and-truck thing with them as soon as they aren't busy. That means Drew'd better have a good excuse!
And now, to do a cheesy group jive choreographed by Louis Van Amstel - who's also choreographing the tour, total must-see and I am so getting my tickets man if they ever come to Manhattan yeeeeeah!!! - Joey MacIntyre, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Willa Ford, and their professional partners, all of whom will be appearing on the tour. It's an appropriate sneak preview of what's going to cost me some pretty cash if they come to New York City.
Yeah. I got an e-mail about the non-Equity national tour of The Producers today and it made me sick. I really don't know how to react to a photograph of some twelve-year-old dressed as Ulla other than projectile vomiting, actually. Why are they so hard up for cash they have to make this show into something that it really isn't? Scaled-down and childish and lame? Also, I resent how they're advertising it as a Tony-winning musical, when, you know, you have to actually be in a union to win a Tony? Although, maybe there's some twisted logic to that choice.
Did I ever mention the post-Kirstie Alley Slim-Fast(TM) challenge poster child they always showed updates on with this show? I don't think I did. Anyway, she won a trophy of some sort.
We also got treated to a retrospective of this season as the Best Ever with talking heads like Jimmy Kimmel and Rachael Ray providing commentary on Shanna's smackdown on Paris (didn't know about that - thanks, TMZ!), and Sara's terrible divorce. They offered their choices for the winner: Mostly Mario. And Joey. Oops.
We also got to see that clip of Jerry's homely daughter again. Score!
Emmitt should win. Mario will. End of story.
