i’ll admit it. when it comes to ‘celebreality’ programming, i am a slave. save the dreadful breaking bonaduce, i am happily spoon-fed by vh1 - to the point where i forget that it was once a music channel, not some substandard version of E!
their latest treat, but can they sing?, preys upon those of us who love william hung, mary roach, and all the other unintentionally hideous singers from american idol - only this time, they’re b-list celebs!
for the most part, i’m not impressed. i find it hard to feel bad for anyone who has so much more money than i do (especially antonio sabato jr, who is forced to take off his shirt to get a reaction from the crowd). but then bai ling takes the stage… and believe it or not, her weak command of the english language and her desperate need to be different somehow translates into something endearing. in the first episode, she butchers madonna’s “material girl”; in the second, she slaughters blondie’s “call me.”
i’ve never really been a fan of hers; in fact, i am usually appaled by her red carpet fashion choices. but here, and i can’t explain why, i loved every excruciating minute of her performance.
help me out and vote for her. i want to see what she “sings” next week…
