Will someone bring me a towel for my keyboard please??  This shit made me laugh out loud.  So glad I found this site.  Mellow-Rock on, dude. ‘"Why did we let Roland Gift get away with singing like this?  At one point, he actually sounds like Jimmy Fallon when he tries to impersonate Barry Gibb."

They were all good in their unique way. I was always hoping the band and vocals behind Rob and Fab would put out some more music.  Music always seems to be better when life is good and this was one time in life where it was definitely good. Trying to be objective, would I like it today as an almost 40 yr old guy with wife and kids. I like to think so. But the big question is would I like crap like Britney Spears if I was in college now or if she had arrived 20 years ago. No way. The crap that is top 40 music now is the worst in the past 10 years if you look at the entire history of music. I think my generation got on the back end of what was a great 40 year run of pop music and culture. As for 90210, as goofy as I may seem for still liking some of the music of that era, that show was horrible. The only time I ever watched it was when Valerie came on the scene and I would just watch it with the sound down. Nothing worse then a drop dead gorgeous girl killing the fantasy by talking or having to listen to the guys that got to bang her.

Now whenever some hair-metal frontman blames his downfall on Nirvana and grunge, we can say, "Actually, it's Milli Vanilli's fault. But don't blame them. They were pawns." But they wanted that money, so they don't deserve too much pity. Still, Frank Fabian, their producer, might as well be nicknamed "Faust Fucker." Jason, you fucking dick! Always naysaying the Fine Young Cannibals! And here you are defending Richard Marx again! Sorry, but that pussy joke he told in concert in front of your mom is unacceptable. Shame shame, Mr. Marx. I'd forgotten that Jordan wears a huge "Batman" T-shirt in that New Kids video. Who didn't have some sort of "Batman" T-shirt that summer? And when does "Batdance" appear in the Top 10? Later in July? I talked to a friend's girlfriend last night about how she used to work at a jazz club in Minneapolis where Prince would eat and sometimes play with the house band. She said he's as tiny and as eccentric as you would think. She even got invited back to Paisley Park by his handlers a few times but was too exhausted/annoyed after serving his entourage and putting straws in his wine glass to want to go. I loved the Donnie Wahlberg and Natalie Cole jokes, by the way. And I love "Miss You Like Crazy," but I realize I can't defend it. Anyone else seen Jennifer Connelly in "The Hot Spot"? Yowzah! It did take a long time for her career to take off, but I respect that she's an Oscar-winning actress who will still take her clothes off if the part calls for it (or doesn't). I salute you, Ms. Connelly. And Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman too. Linda Hunt, you're on my shit list! The Top 40 station in Macon, GA, used to play the album version of "Express Yourself," which featured horns, instead of the version heard in the video. Boo! I had to wait until I borrowed a friend's copy of "The Immaculate Collection" so that I could have the horn-less remix on tape. But now I like both versions. I do like that Milli Vanilli theory.

Even after all these years, I remember that she absolutely nailed the song and that I was shocked at how huge her voice was.

It's a good song but, as you'd expect, I prefer Orbison's version. Might I also add that I'd give up my left nut just so I could give my right nut to Jennifer Connelly? No? Too late!
