Rock Star & Other Ramblings

Oh. My. God. Rock Star: INXS was awesome last night!!! I cannot sing the show's praises enough. Last night, the remaining 6 rockers performed with not only the house band backing them but a string orchestra and a choir! They sang songs from the Stones, Paul McCarthy, Pink Floyd, Queen and more. Even INXS looked as if they were having a ball. Last night was the first night it really felt like a show and not a competition.

Also, B and I saw the funniest show last night on VH1 called Race O' Rama. It airs different episodes discussing racial differences in a funny but straight forward way. Last night's episode was called "Dude, Where's My Ghetto Pass?" If you ever grew up in the ghetto, you would laugh so hard. Rapper Lil' Cease has a segment called "Hood-etiquette" - the etiquette of living in the hood. And the funniest thing was they talked about black people who got their ghetto pass revoked and Cuba Gooding, Jr. was one of them. Truly hysterical.

Tonight, one of my guilty pleasures is on...R U The Girl?. It's the new reality show starring the R&B group TLC, who are looking for a girl to perform with them in concert. I love TLC and this show really shows how down-to-earth they are. I love this show so much that I have essentially given up on watching So You Think You Can Dance? since it came on at the same time (also, the show runs 90 minutes and conflicts with Rock Star as well - FOX is ego-tripping if it thinks it can lure viewers from Rock Star, especially on elimination night!). This show is so much better than the Missy Elliott reality show which was kind of horrible and I love Missy so it must have been bad if I am saying that! There's only 4 girls left and at the rate that they are cutting contestants, the show's finale might be next week! So tune in and check it out.

On a side note, I just have to say that I miss Hell's Kitchen terribly. *sigh*
