We’ve come a long way from Paula Abdul’s choreography, and Janet
Jackson’s for that matter; but where to? Ouch. I don’t think I like
where we’ve gone to.
All women, men and children
throughout the entire 14 minutes and 20 seconds looked 100% possessed.
And you know what other-peoples’ world ethicities I have to compare them
to? There is no other group I can find to compare this with.
But North Korea.
Yes I know there were attempts to give a Latin feeling, and even an
African one, or a Colombian one and now a Lebanese one. Sort of. But it
was never fully there. I hate saying this, it felt North Korean!
If you don’t believe me, compare for yourself. A hypersexualized version of a Pyongyang propaganda performance.

I think maybe they should
just ditch the pretense next year and have the whole thing take on a
Jerry Springer theme. If there even pretends to be music, let it just be
a bunch of background mood stuff. 😛

oh: ps. what’s with the
Gibson Firebird guitar she pretended to play. Capo to the back of the
6th fret, almost touching the 5th behind it??? I *think* she fretted the
right three chords, eh? Maybe an open E chord at the 6th then an A and a
B sort of? So that’s what, Bb Eb F? Hmmm. It looked like she was sort
of playing those, but the strumming seemed way off. She was common law
married to both Tommy and Tony Mottola, (pronounced guitar central,
right?) You mean to tell me she never quite got the hang of at least
faking a ripping rhythm guitar, right??? Yikes.
