Divas Las Vegas
I was a little disappointed with the Divas in Las Vegas. I expected so much more from such talent. I loved Anastacia, Cher, and Celine, of course, but the Dixie Chicks and Mary J. Blige and Whitney...oh Whitney, honey. At least it looks like she's eating again. I loved the Cher's duet with Cyndi Lauper on If I Could Turn Back Time. What a great combo. I simply adore Cyndi Lauper.
Otherwise, it was kind of lackluster. The sound wasn't that great, the outfits left oh, so much to be desired, and after the first two or three numbers, it went down hill really fast. Shakira...stop rolling around in the mud and figure out what your voice really sounds like. I mean, really. Natalie what's-her-name in the Dixie Chicks...every time she came out on stage, her hemline went up another couple of inches, and honey, you don't need to be showing us all that, OK? Look, I know you just had a baby and all, but come on now, have some sense. And the Elvis medley at the end...why?
Ellen DeGeneres as host was highly entertaining, however. She has always been funny. I didn't care too much for her TV shows, but her own personal comedy is hilarious. And she looked good, too.
That's all.
