Celebrity Duets

Anybody watching this?

Its pretty good. If you like American Idol, you will enjoy it.

I thought it was pretty lousy, just a matter of taste i guess.

I haven't watched all of it yet... stopped after Jericho's second performance. Some of the performances I saw so far were good.... some not so much... and the judges annoy the HELL out of me! Seriously, Marie Osmond seems to have some ego problem, Little Richard looks nervous or something, and that last guy is just tolerable.

Lea Thompson, Jai Rodriguez, and Alfonso Ribiero all looked strong to me. Jericho was awful... what was with that first jacket? Doesn't help that the feed cut out a few seconds into his first performance. Michelle Williams looked horrible too...

I won't be watching this for two reasons:

1) I watch reality shows (the ones I watch, basically Survivor, Idol, and So You Think You Can Dance?) I watch to see "normal people" in these situations. All of these celebrity gimics hold no interest to me.

2) Even if they did, I have to seriously question much of the premise here. To say they have "undiscovered singing talent" is a stretch for at least a couple of these. Alfonso Ribiero sang multiple times on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. While he wasn't singing pop songs, it was clear he had pipes. And Jericho has a frickin' rock band for goodness sake.

I missed this, but I'm glad I did. When was it on? I watched Big Brother, then Rockstar, then baseball.

I'd bang Lea Thompson, Lucy Lawless and Carly Patterson repeatedly.

I watched most of it in sort of a gawking at a train wreck sort of way. I feel bad for Hal Sparks. What the hell was he thinking going on this show. This is exactly the kind of stuff he makes fun of.

I knew I stayed away from this one for a reason.

I almost started a "Trainwreck on Fox right now!" titled thread about the show.

[Ksyrup]

What is it with reality celebrity stars and divorce? First you had Jessica/NIck, now Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, the dude from Blink 182 and the chick who is going to be on Dancing with the Stars 3, and even Alfonso Ribeiro is getting in on the action within the past couple of weeks.

Hopefully Harry Hamlin and Lisa Renna will separate before Dancing with the Stars starts up again so I don't have to look at Renna's collagen-injected lips again.

[rkmsuf]

The fact that Hal Sparks is on this almost destroys any of the allure of the sexay women.

Almost.

It is better than AI because they have two judges that are completely stoned out of their mind, rather than just the one.

That Little Richard is a showman.

First, let me give a shout out to YouTube for allowing me to sample only the portion of this program I wanted without subjecting me to the offensive barrage that is the rest of the program.

Second, this is just about the worst execution of a poor idea for a program I've ever seen. The "Hit Me Baby One More Time" concept on NBC was a better idea also poorly executed. Now instead of getting old musical acts phoning in material, we now get a B-list celebrity singing off key while they phone in their material. Ugh.

Third, as a red-blooded American male, there's only one reason to check out a portion of this show, and that's to see the babes. So when I heard Belinda Carlisle (Yum! as Kodos would say) was teaming with Lea Thompson (hell yeah), I had to check that out. The music was certainly bad karaoke, but who cares -- Belinda Carlisle belongs on the Hot or Not vote with a decisive vote for Hot.

I like American Idol. I can't stand this show.

It's only redeeming quality is that some of the women do look good.

If this was called 'Celebrity Duels', then we'd have an interesting premise for a show.
