I couldn't even watch the whole show, it was just half-celebs being average, but a couple things stood out from what I saw.

Little Richard really may be insane.

Alphonso Ribero should have been disqualified. He starred in a Broadway musical. The real question isn't whether he can sing or dance, but whether he can act.

Cheech rocks.

Unless you're Linda Ronstadt or Patti Austin, you'd better not sing with James Ingram.

Dude from Queer Eye has been trying to be a singer for a while, so he's not exactly an amateur either.

And Michelle from Destiny's Child is no Beyonce.

i so cant wait to catch this show...

Is this the same as the BBC's Just The Two Of Us show from earlier in the year with Alexander O'Neal as one of the contestants?

Alexander O'Neil would have been a guest, singing with an actor or some other non-singer, not a contestant, if it's like this show.

Michelle was a dry mess singing "Say My Name", she should've picked one of her own Destiny's Child leads. Oh wait.....

Yeah, sounds like the same format. Professional singers pairing up with non-singing celebrities and being their "mentors" every week. It was only fun for us with Curtis Stigers singing with our morning newsreader Penny Smith who sounded like Marge Simpson when she sang

Scorpion said:

poor girl! she was awful on the Aretha song, too. There was this moment of silence towards the end and Alphonso looks at her and she's like "oh yeah, AAAHHHAAOOOOOHOHHOO!"

Is that bad?

Actually it would make sense if the show was done in England first, since I think it was the same people who did Idol.
