Another Talent Competition

So there's a new show premiering on NBC called The Sing Off, with its tag-line being: The ultimate A Cappella Competition. They also describe it as combining American Idol and Glee. Whateves. That just made me log onto Hulu and what Glee. And I love music but another wanna be American Idol is not at all appealing to me. I can barely handle the original. In another promo ad they show a bunch of folks singing on street corners and what not, and instruments being smashed and destroyed. My thoughts were that I hope that was CGI, because that is a complete waste! I mean couldn't they find another way to drive there point other than resorting to vandalism? I was just so wasteful and corny to me. Then they showed then homegirl from the Losen Up My Buttons Pussy Cat dolls was shown saying something along the lines of, "How cool is it to make music from just voices!" Um...really? Isn't that what its all about? Annoying

So I'd already written it off  as show that would not be adding to Must See T.V. list. Then during one of the ads I saw two familiar faces that has changed my mind. The first being Benjamin Scott "Ben Folds" the front man for the great Ben Folds Five! Evidently he will be one of the judges on this Sing Off show. So of course I'm there. Second person that I saw during the promos, but that did not cause so much glee was one Nick Lachey. He will be hosting the show, and I'm just happy that he has a job. I mean how much settlement money could he have from the divorce? I hope the show is a success so that he will  remain gainfully employed.

Inappropriate Crushes

What's good this dreary Saturday? The forecast calls for a rain ALL day, so I'll will remain indoors and will continue my home cleaning and organization. I will also be watching a couple of college football games and eating Chinese take out. Don't be jealous darlings.

I'm particularly interested in the Florida Gator and S Carolina Gamecocks game in the late afternoon. While Tim Tebow is the superstar of the Gators, my favorite boy is Riley Cooper the Gators receiver. He is my inappropriate crush. Inappropriate because he is only 22 and I am over 22.Sunday morning I will be at a mandatory (paid) work meeting. Kinda stinks as I will be missing Sunday service. Its a three hour meeting, hopefully there will be provisions.

The Patriots will be in Indianapolis this weekend to play those undefeated Colts. I really dislike the Colts, as much as I adore and admire their former coach Dungy I loathe this team. To be fair, I loathe all teams and wish them all misfortune. Its not reasonable or rational but its how I've always been. Last season a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals resulted in a tie of 13-13. If every NFL game ended in that manner it would warm the cockles of my heart.

Anywhoo. The Patriots game is a Sundaynighter on NBC, so I'll be bracing myself through Keith Oberman and Dan Patricks tag team ramblings. And I actually like them both, but they are a little too cute on the Sunday Night pre-game. Not fun to watch, almost uncomfortable actually.
