i think tonight i'll be pulling for Shannon..Let The Music Play is an excellent song..being a new wave fan i should be pullng for Missing Persons but they are only one of very few early 80's groups i have never liked

either PM Dawn or Shannon. *can't believe they will be on*

PM Dawn was terrible. I'm guessing their win was a sympathy vote. Juice Newton was great, and Missing Persons were okay. Shannon, sadly, was terrible. She was all kinds of lazy.

did something happen to Prince Be? they had to walk with him and he sat in a chair for both songs....did he have a stroke or something?

RipHer2Shreds said:

Did u like Animotion?

Dan's my obsession..

damn it...i forgot to teevo this...how was it?

oh wait..i just saw ripher's review...

oh well, guess i didnt miss anything...

I thought pm dawn did a great job... sure a few notes were off.. but with him gettin back in the swing of things.. he'll be back in no time


so damn happy they won!

RipHer2Shreds said:

oh please.. honestly, juice, missing persons and shannon sucked horribly.. that was a waste of air time.. please.

Sdldawn said:

Agreed. There were doing their thing.

Sdldawn said:

Yes, I said Shannon was terrible. And I agree, PM Dawn was a waste of air time.

I knew PM Dawn would win for some reason and they were great. They did an amazing cover of a Puddle of Mudd song which I can't remember the name of. They should totall sell that version somewhere. Shannon was good too. There should be a "Hit Me Baby One More Time" tour or something. What is funny is that over at nbc.com, Juice Newton is winning with the online voters. What's up with that?

Racial politics.

Hotlegs said:

Or just people's preference in performance. I thought her performance was better as well.

Juice Newton's performance of her song was excellent, but her rendition of Ashlee Simpson's song was awful.

PM Dawn did well with their song. Their performance of the second song wasn't bad, they were just off on a few notes, I've heard worse.

Shannon performance wasn't up to par on Let The Music Play...she cut out a lot of parts and messed up a little. Shannon's rendition of Ashanti was much better.

Missing Persons sounded the worst out of every performance. What was going on with her voice?????

Animotion could have done better but they were not the worst. The lady in the group's voice was a little off and the guy sounded better in the vocal dept.

Hotlegs said:

Thanks for the info. I thought he may have had back surgery/problems or something.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Hey, pm won.. i'm proud of them


Juice was incredible (Fuckin sucked)

Sdldawn said:

Exactly.

Sdldawn said:

We'll just go round and round on this one.

They all sucked. This was the episode that I was actually looking forward to. Especially Missing Persons. wow. Dale actually made Kyle seem talented. Pm Dawn sounded really bad, and Annimotion were indesrcibable bad. Oh, and lets not talk about Shannon doing pushups and knee-bends and shit. She did the unthinkable... She made me miss Ashanti.

They should've changed the name of that episode to The Biggest Loser, cause nobody deserved to win.


yuck.

in my opinion if a group can take a hit and re-work it into something better than the original, they deserve to win....so far i have only seen PM Dawn and Arrested Development do that

pkidwell said:

I would have to agree with you on that. So far, these artist have been the only ones to sucessfully reinvent themselves and step up to the plate for this competition.

Hotlegs said:

I agree. Arrested Development could release something today, and they'll definately have a larger audience than pre- Hit Me. Same with PM Dawn. I thought they sounded pretty rough, but its good to see them still around. I feel that AD came with their A game. Club Neuvo was killin those harmonies on Dido's "Thank You", too. THe Knack did a good job of "Are you gonna be my Girl". It'll be interesting to see if these groups can capitalize on the exposure from the show.

They were competing for a charity of their choice, and it was a cool showcase for people who haven't been getting seen in a minute.


Anyway, that was the season finale

BlaqueKnight said:

Nobody forced them to perform. They did so of their own will. Many of the acts didn't just "slip out of the limelight," they've actually broken up and aren't performing anymore. Animotion is one of those groups. And like Cee said, they're performing again partly because it's a performance for a charitable cause. I don't think there's anything shameful or debasing about that. The audience is ALWAYS receptive to each act. I'm watching it because I like the acts they're showcasing, not because I want to see a trainwreck.

me too. it's not "reality" TV

CinisterCee said:

The HELL it ain't. Read the thread. You two may not be watching in search of a trainwreck, but there a many who are treating this just like American "Idle". Americans have way too many entertainment options. Its just a matter of time before the movie "The Running Man" becomes real. Reality t.v. is out of control.

BlaqueKnight said:

just so you know, this was a british show first, america just imported the idea. so america isn't sending any message their just stealing what already worked.
