80’s Stars on American Idol?
I got a chance to get out for a bit today, and I took the opportunity to call up Bald Man and get out for lunch. Just the two of us. It was fantastic.
Anyway, as most of you probably don’t know, Bald Man loves to sing. As you probably also don’t know, he’s aurally challenged (read as: doesn’t really know whether or not he’s in tune when he’s singing). It is a fact that he’s well aware of, so I’m not outing him here or anything. Or maybe I am, but he can take it. 
Anyway (wow, I say that a lot)…..we were stopping for coffee before our lunch date was over, and he was singing kinda. He made some comment about how he could still get on American Idol and we made a little joke about the girl this season who auditioned KNOWING that she couldn’t sing. Did you see her audition? It was her grand idea to be the first American Idol who couldn’t sing, and who they taught to sing.
I said something to the effect of, “Yeah, an American Idol who can’t sing.”
Bald Man’s reply, “Two words for you…..Milli Vanilli.”
Heh, yeah…I’m sure Simon Cowell would have had a field day with them. But I did love that Girl You Know It’s True album. I have it on cassette. I think I even did a karaoke bit to it in high school. I seem to remember singing it at a pool party. Now, I just get Blame it on the Rain stuck in my head when it’s, well, raining.
And now, for your 80’s flashback pleasure, Blame it on the Rain by Milli Vanilli. Thanks, YouTube.
