  • Friday Throwback – Big Ole Butt

    What better way to kick off the weekend than with a song that was an ode to big ole booties? This a few years before Sir Mix-a-Lot’s song about love of the backside.

    I want to meet Lisa and Brenda now, nearly 20 years later, to see if they still have it.

    • Tina might’ve had grace and poise like a ballerina, but no ballerina could wear a dress like that.
    • Don’t ask me how I’m living, cause yo I’m living swell.
    • I feel badly for LL’s wife now after watching the first minute of this video.
    • What’s up with the hand held shaky camera work? Is it supposed to simulate a bouncing rear end?
    • How old was LL at this time, talking about going to high schools to peep the girls?
    • Damn, he left the ballerina for big bootie Brenda.
    • I’m leavin’ you, see ya!

  • The Randomizer: NKOTB, George Michael, Mariah and More!

    *So, the NKOTB reunion is in full-swing. The first photo of all the guys together since 1994 is making the rounds, and I gotta say time has been kind to The Kids. They’re on the “Today” show tomorrow, performing and announcing their tour, and I gotta say, I’m pretty stoked! More so to hear the new material than to go see them live, though.
    *Speaking of artists that haven’t performed live in forever, George Michael is touring the U.S. for the first time since 1991, promoting his new “Twenty-Five” hits compilation. I love George, and he remains a singular vocalist who really isn’t all that exciting live. However, considering the man tours so infrequently, it might be a good idea to catch him now.
    *Congrats are due to Mariah Carey and Madonna. “Touch My Body” became Mariah’s 18th #1 hit this week, pushing her into second place, behind The Beatles, when it comes to artists with #1 songs. Meanwhile, “4 Minutes” has become Madge’s 38th Top Ten hit, also bumping her into second place all-time, behind, you guessed it, The Beatles!!
    *Wow, all I have to do is throw a Hammer or Vanilla Ice reference, and the artists mentioned in this column so far could have just as easily been mentioned in 1990. How ’bout staying power, eh?
    *Bobby Brown is writing an autobiography, which promises to dish tons of dirt on Whitney Houston, including the fact that Whit introduced him to cocaine and that she married him to improve her image. Um, wasn’t *Whitney* America’s good girl when she and Bobby got married? What needed improvement? And who knew Bobby could write?
    *Finally, in my current guilty pleasures list, the guys from Fall Out Boy have recorded a pretty nifty cover of “Beat It”, featuring some serious shredding from John Mayer on guitar. I’m not quite sure why I like Fall Out Boy so much. Maybe I take pity on the overwhelming ugliness of Patrick Stump. Anyway, here’s their cover for you (best to ignore the video loop of Patrick Stump blowing kisses):
    It’s good and all, but still doesn’t beat this ridiculously awesome cover by Charlotte Church and a drunk off her tits Amy Winehouse:

  • Vital Idol: Dolly Parton’s Anti-Gravity

    I’m sorry that I missed blogging last week’s show, but I was in Cancun with the family, and let’s just say that American Idol isn’t that big of a deal in Mexico. Now Latin American Idol …

    Last night’s show was probably the most boring one thus far and I think it could’ve used some Chikezie baby to spice it up, but he’s gone and he’s not coming back.

    (Supposedly David Cook was in the hospital last night for high blood pressure, and thankfully, he’s ok.)

    The crew opens up with a group rendition of Nine To Five and after a recap from last night’s show, Ryno gets right to it.

    – Michael Johns and Big Dave Archuleta are safe.

    – I’ve finally put my finger on who Big Dave Archuleta reminds me of. He looks like a young Jerry Lewis. Put some glasses on him and you have a nutty professor.

    – Carly Smithson looked very happy to not have to go to the bottom three again.

    – I refuse to mention On The Air With American Idol again as it’s the most unnecessary television segment going.

    – Three guys named the Clark Brothers won some band competition and are the musical interlude tonight. You mean Justin Guarini isn’t available? But then again, he couldn’t play speed country guitar like these guys.

    – David Cook is safe, but Ramiele isn’t. Her outfit tonight features one of Ruben Studdard’s t-shirts with a vest on top of it, stretch pants, and furry boots.

    – KL Cook predicted her own disappointment and is also one of the bottom three. She’s not wearing Ruben Studdard’s shirt by the way.

    – Why is Buckwald Covington on my television screen right now? And Sweaty Phil Stacey too? I’m ok with that great man Boseph Bice being highlighted here though. I might’ve thrown up on myself if Constantine was featured though.

    It's Bo Bice!

    This Guy Looks Like A Waif Model In Person

    – Hallelujah! Syesha is safe, but Brooke isn’t.

    – The three amigas are Brooke, Ramiele, and KL Cook as the bottom three. In between the two taller girls, Ramiele looks like Tattoo from Fantasy Island.

    – Dolly Parton is singing Jesus And Gravity. Her boobs scoff at gravity.

    – Teflon KL Cook is safe as is Brooke. Big Rube Studdard celebrates Ramiele home.
