Carl Matthes: Sixty million votes from an excited audience this past week. Part of the revival is due to America’s most beautiful woman, Miss Jennifer Lopez. But, who is giving her wardrobe advice? I just hope there’s no wardrobe malfunction with her teeny-bopper skirts

Carl Matthes: Ryan asked Casey, “If you could perform a duet with any musician, past or present, who would you choose?” Casey answered, “Oscar Peterson.” For Idol voters, Casey would have been better off saying Oscar Mayer.

American Idol: Substance vs Style

Naima

Carl Matthes: Naima’s voice has a certain ungainliness which wasn’t eased by reggae’s lilting rhythms and sounds. This was like seeing the Mona Lisa in a thong! Naima’s seriousness of purpose is contagious and she has a unique style. Unfortunately, vocal substance is not there.

America’s Cheesiest Charttoppers Redux

July 31, 2010 By Michael Sigman Leave a Comment

Michael Sigman: Strong candidates for Part 2 included such stomach-churning charttoppers as Barry Manilow’s I Write the Songs (no, you don’t, not even this one, which was penned by Beach Boy Bruce Johnston), Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman (no, you’re not) and Starship’s We Built This City on Rock and Roll (no, you most definitely did not).

Brenth Budowsky: What is
astounding and incomprehensible is the degree that Obama and too many Democrats have surrendered on first principle policies where the majority of voters agree with the
progressives.

Wayne Williams: Mike was cantankerous, brilliant, stubborn, and, of course, funny. He never knew his parents, was adopted and raised by a casino boss, served with the U.S. Marines in Korea, wrote for many comedy shows and comics, and wrote perfect prose to his hearts content, performed stand up himself, and taught others how to do so as well.

Steve Hochstadt: Is Hollywood trying to push a gay agenda on right-thinking Americans, as some people claim? I think it’s the other way around: Hollywood is trying to sell products.
