Not worried about the bullets coming up from the floor?

Wow! Sophie B. Hawkins and Irene Cara! I'm definitely going to watch this. It also makes me kinda sad to see these acts competing for a second shot. Seems a little pathetic but I'll watch anyway.

Loverboy sang "Working For The Weekend" It was not bad. Their lead singer gained a lot of weight over the years.

A Flock of Seagulls sings "I Ran" Their lead singer still has long hair but it is in a ponytail not puffed up on top his head.

Arrested Development sings "Tennessee". Not my kind of music.

ugghh.i'm watching this show and some of the performances are just horrid in my opinion. Can anyone say Tiffany??

forget that most of these people look like they should be singing at an old folks home or in an ad for hair club for men or weight watchers, some of these people simply just can't sing anymore. It's a shame to hear a person that originated the song make it sound like an aweful Karaoke rendition.

Where's Simon when you really need him? That would be some funny shite to see Simon and crew critiquing the stars on performances of their own songs.

I agree with you, Tiffany is the weakest of the bunch so far.

My hubby (who only watches Survivor) actually wanted to watch this show so we Tivoed it and watched this morning. We were both too sick after watching to eat breakfast.

Mike Reno from Loverboy was just as grody as I remember him from about 10 yrs ago and his hair was hysterical.

Tiffany was falling out of her outfit, but, she is pregnant and from what I remember, she had a boob job years back so she really should have worn something a little less revealing. When she leaned over to sing to the audience it was way too much exposure!

Did anyone else notice that none of these bands were actually performing the music? The only thing that was live was the singing, the rest was all for show. When a Flock of Seagulls was singing we slow-moed through the drummers shot on the screen and he wasn't even hitting the drums! Not to mention that NONE of the instruments were even hooked up to anything including the keyboard. My husband who's a musician said that none of the guitarists were even trying to play what was being played through the speakers. He said they were doing a really bad job of pretending...

Pretty pathetic. We both agreed that all of these people must be pretty desperate to be on this show. Hopefully they will all stay where we want them, in our memories and on 80's radio stations across the land.

--Donna :~)

Used to love them. I thought they sounded great and I am intrigued to hear their version of Los Lonely Boy's Heaven

Tiffany? Ummm...looks and sounds like a mom, kind of funny to be singing about makin' out.

One more of J Slice's Awesome Creations!

Wow, I'm really liking their version. Everything they sing puts you in such a laid back move. Definitely one of my favorite performances of the night.

Tifanny sings "I Think We're Alone Now" Her voice does not sound as good as it used to. It was more raspy.

Tiffany looks like Elsie the cow! What freakin mammories.

Arrested Development wins $20,000 for UNICEF, their charity.

They were definitely the best tonight. I LOVED them growing up and was very happy with their rendition of Heaven...pretty sure that's what won it for them tonight.

Got blog?

I can’t believe I watched it. How sad (both the show and me).
At first I thought the host was Scott Baio until he started talking. Now THAT would have been ultimate cheesefest and I certainly would have IMMEDIATELY changed the channel, just out of principle. But I was too lazy to pick up the remote so it was on in the background for an hour. Didn’t care much for it. I'll make sure to avoid it in the future.

but Scott Baio is much better looking than this loser.

Scott Baio is a genious! He is our greatest living actor.
Do not dis the talent that is Baio, Charles in Charge was a masterpiece of modern art.

Hey now, calm down Scott fans, looks like I hit a nerve here. I’m sorry! I’m sorry! (one for each of you-geez I feel like Ruben Studdard).
Ok, I was sitting across the room (we have a very large living room – 45 feet long-seriously and a very small TV) and couldn’t really see anything but the hair and you have to admit Scott has distinctive hair. It hasn’t changed since Happy Days. And what exemplifies the 80’s better than Scott? I just assumed it was him at first.
Uh, actually what I was trying to say is that I didn’t want to see Scott degrade himself in this cheesefest and couldn’t stand to watch that. (is that better?

My not into these kinds of shows friend thought Tiffany was the best. And I was 23 when Tiffany came out and I always used to hate her--so monotonal. I thought she sounded better than before and she was good on Breakaway as well. The crowd seemed to love her and I thought she had it in the bag.

But if it wasn't her, I thought Arrested Development was the other best one. Their second performance put their own twist on a modern song and I was impressed. Plus the group in general and Speech in particular seem to have learned from their mistakes (unlike, sadly, Vanilla Ice) and eliminated or toned down their annoying characteristics that made everyone get sick of hearing them back in the day.

Cece was solid, but not unique.

Loverboy and A Flock of Seagulls were both disappointing.

This episode was my cup of tea as I liked all of them except Tiffany the first time, and I was impressed with Tiffany tonight.

Is there going to be a "grand champion?"

Train wreck. But with a few redeeming moments. I toggled
between this and the "Beauty and the Geek" show I missed last
night. BatG was a better use of my time.

I thought the first performances of Loverboy, A Flock of
Seagulls, and Tiffany stank. I had scads of appreciation for
the AI finalists after hearing these artists butcher their
own songs!

CeCe and Arrested Development outclassed the rest, and I did
enjoy the part of "Heaven" AD sang before I switched back to
the Geek Squad.

I believe Tiffany is my age, give or take a year or two. And
boy, I have much better self-esteem now.

Thank goodness for a quick remote control.

I forced Mr. B to watch, and he and I were both impressed with CeCe's vocal ability. And while I disliked "Tennessee", I really enjoyed seeing Arrested Development put their own twist on "Heaven". As long as one of those two won, I was pleased.

The other performances? Bleah. During the second songs, the rest of them felt like karaoke. All imitation, no original flair. Mr. B thought it was hysterical to see someone covering an Idol's hit, while I just kept yelling at Tiffany to shut up if she was just going to try and do a Kelly Clarkson knock-off version of the song.

"If there was ever a time you wanted permission to run over a clown. . ."

Tiffany did remakes of others songs 20 years ago, she was not about to do something original now.

But at least her remake of "I Think We're Alone Now" had her touch to it. It wasn't just a carbon copy of the previous version - it was popped up and bouncy. Last night, she was even doing the same embellishments as Kelly during the first half of the song. Bo-ring.

My summary of the show is up at:

http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=3545

Cece did the best job last night, as the article says. But I thought Tiffany did an alright job last night. You see worst singers in the top 10 on Idol. I think she copied Kelly Clarkson to a tea. But she was no Cece.

As for Arrested Development--they would be the Black Eyed Peas of the '90's if they were market right. The lead singer of the group sings better than the Black eyed Peas singer. I also thought their rendition of Heaven was interesting, however more of an original song then a remake.

I thought CeCe did the best job too. Loverboy was good, I thought, but Flock of Seagulls absolutely sucked on both songs. I could just hear Simon Cowell....."that was hideous."

Arrested Development was good, but you have to like their style, and I don't.

Tiffany did OK.

Does anyone else think this is a weird show? It feels like it's all fluff and no substance and really, really pathetic.
