PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

9. "bands backing out of the show" |
I just found out that my favorite band Air Supply won't be on the show June 8th. According to a fan board I belong to, Graham Russell (tall blond guy) decided to back out after hearing some of the publicity for the show. I didn't like the comercials much. I thought they were quite demeaning. While Air Supply has gotten older physically, they still perform over 150 shows each year and still sound really good. I wonder if any other acts will back out after this.

The show is probably going to bite, but also has the potential to be almost interesting. I remember most of the artists scheduled to appear and can recall most of their hits. Not too many for most of them, but that's kinda what this show is about.

45. "RE: Anyone else notice they weren't playing the music?" |
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 :~)

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.

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?

38. "a dissenting opinion" |
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?"

47. "Summary up" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-03-05 AT 10:56 AM (EST)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.

LAST EDITED ON 06-03-05 AT 01:34 PM (EST)I'm ranking them just for fun. I'll rank them both on singing ability and on how much I enjoyed their performance (my personal taste in music -- and yes it shows I grew up with 80's music). Singing Ability:
1.) Arrested Development (the only ones to be really original with their up to date song).
2.) Tiffany
3.) CeCe
4.) Loverboy
5.) Flock of Seagulls (Really awful!) Enjoyed Performance:
1.) Tiffany (Liked her choice of songs)
2.) Loverboy (Working for the Weekend brings back good memories)
3.) CeCe (Really good singing, but the dancers were too much)
4.) Arrested Development (not a fan of rap music)
5.) Flock of Seagulls (Bad singing and a horrible performance) djandy

All of the ones you said had more than two hits--I would say at least five hits to each of their names. You are right that they haven't had hits recently, but they still sell out arenas. The contestants on the show never do anymore. And I assume Loverboy did their concert in Canada, where they have a better audience.As for Robert Plant, if you want to call the lead singer of Led Zeppelin a has been, be my guest. But don't let the Led Zeppelin fans hear you.
