BB and questions
Not following the ins and outs of En Vogue, I was still confused. The first song they sang was a huge hit with neat video, but did any of the woman in the BB special actually sing the original song or appear in the video? They certainly don't look or sound the same.
Johnny Carson is dead? Someone else asked that, I know. Here's one you might not remember: a few decades ago when Johnny was very popular, The Tonight Show successfully sued a portable potty company who had chosen the name "Here's Johnny". So, the phrase is copyrighted.
Everytime I use on of those things, I can't help thinking "Here's Johnny".
Back on topic: I haven't seen all of the BB special yet. Just before the commercial break, they announced that Nancy Kerrigan was next. Seemed like a good time to hit the sack.
But the parts I saw I enjoyed. I yelled at the TV when I saw Jumpin Joe early on in a group number "HEY, where have YOU been!". I'm hoping that he does a solo later on. Perhaps to new Bruce music from The Rising? Maybe that's why Joe has been hiding out - Bruce hadn't been recording anything. Nevermind, now that Bruce has hit the studio again (and the results are again wonderful)...
Did they ever announce the names of the skaters that, I'm guessing, are show skaters? Ones without recognizable titles or medals from eligible competition? Because, what the heck, they should get some kind of credit, shouldn't they?
I enjoyed Renee Roca's number although I agree with Fetal that there wasn't much skating. Here's the thing: in that halter dress, Renee's shoulder blades stick out like broken wings. Someone feed that lady something. OK?
And, behind Renee, were lovely ladies dancing in the style of Laugh-In (guys, you'all know that Goldie Hawn got her start as a Laugh-In dancer, don't you?). One of them wore sunglasses and dark pants. Who was that?
