Its gotta be The Motels...

thats the only band with any sorta credibility....

The Knack might still be good.. they came from the `70s school of talented musicianship.

oh god!! i bet you the audience is gonna go for the novelty tune.....Your right, it might just be The Knack...

"what is love". I hear that alot these days. Haddaway seems cool.

Glenn medeiros would be perfect for these sorta shows.

I'm gonna go with The Knack. I saw them on some cable show awhile back and they sounded good. Vanilla Ice is doing "Survivor"? Can't miss this,,this should be good for some laughs.

I don't get how Vanilla is gonna do a song that Beyonce sang?

After seeing him on that VH-1 "reinventing" show, he needs to be covering Beck's "Loser".

and not only that, but Are You Gonna Be My Girl sounds like something they would have recorded in their prime anyway.

from an interview with Vanilla Ice (Rob Van Winkle) on his "Survivor" choice of songs

-----

Mandy - Do you know what songs you are going to perform on "Hit Me Baby"? Are you allowed to talk about it at this point? I'm assuming "Ice Ice Baby."

Rob - Yeah, for sure I'm playing "Ice Ice Baby" in the original style. That's going to be something I haven't done in awhile, which is really cool. And I'm playing "Survivor" but I redid it in my way. Last night, I watched the show and it was almost like they were singing karaoke. They were singing the song exactly like the artist, except for like a couple of them like a Flock of Seagulls changed it. But the other people were singing it almost identical to the way they sound; the original sound. Me, I just basically used kind of a chord that sounds the same of "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. So you will not recognize it. It will be my own flair and my own sound. It will sound like me and not like me copying them.

on in 19 minutes

man The Knack are tight.

Vanilla Ice won to all you west coast bastards out there

of course he did.

man that wasn't the motels, that was just martha davis.

Out of the whole damn show, the biggest disappointments to me were Vanilla Ice and the Motels to a degree. Otherwise, the rest of the artist came strong. I think that damn show was fixed b/c there is no way in hell that Vanilla Ice was better than the other groups.

I'm with Hot Legs on this one.

I knew Vanilla would win. There is just something about him that white people love. I can't explain it. He was even surprised to win.

Yeah what was up with The Motels.

I swear I only saw Martha on stage for "Only The Lonely" - which was fucken great!

Then their uptempo rock remake of that jazz lullaby just plain BLEW!

That show was rigged like a motherfucker and he even thought it.

The lady from the Motels looks like my grandmother. But her voice was still great. The show is kind of pathetic in a way but I love it.

Aside from the show cheating for Vanilla Ass, I enjoyed it.
