LAST EDITED ON 04-22-10 AT 05:28 PM (EST)I was disappointed in this year's IGB show.
It seemed like they gave the show to an intern and told them to study the last two IGB's and do what they can. And that Carrie was a lock to perform, they didn't have to have the winner from season 8 on because Carrie would do; David Cook put in what was the Daughtry appearance in the previous 2 seasons; Alicia is with the same label that 19 does business with, right? Annie Lenox, too?
Ugh, Russell B and Jonah H being lame instead of Ben Stiller or Robin Williams. At least they had a movie to promote but they were really bad and a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.
Cramming in the results was shoddy; it made me not want to support IGB (that probably sounds petty but I've been upset with them since the last one where they booted MJ after asking so sweetly for $$ the night before). I'm not a grinch; direct donation to the Red Cross works for me.
I'm disliking listening to multimillionaires/billionaires telling us why we need to give $. I know it's customary but then I think about Gates' behemouth house or Simon's car collection and the $$ he dropped on his 50th bday party last year and I wish they would buy a clue.
Maybe if someone more humble were doing the asking. Out of ideas at the moment.
Even the number with the idols fell really flat. And we know it's prerecorded. Weak song choice.
In summary; something seemed "off" last night.
Wonder if the contributions were as well.
