Jessica Jessica. I hate to admit it but I watched pretty
much the whole Divas Live show on VH1. Before you call me
a homo, let me explain. First of all, I know that Dean loves
and talks about Jessica Simpson non stop and after watching
this show, I am convinced that this chic is a true talent
in a sea of female pop star losers. A lot of old 80's losers
were in attendance, including Cindy Lauper, Patti Labelle,
Debbie Harry and Shelia E, oh yeah and gay icon Tom Jones
made an appearance.
Here
is my 2004 VH1 Divas Live recap::
- Thanks
to Eve, yes a rapper was there, for ruining Blondie's
Rapture. Enough with the "what up yalls" for
the love of God.
- Joss
Stone is one sexy bitch. She is like Fionna Apple only
cuter with more soul and meat on her bones. Her long curly
blonde locks had me going ow ow owuh uh ow wow.
- Ashanti
did OK on her first performance where she sang, "I'm
comin out" which was originally supposed to be sung
by Missy Elliot.. get it?
- Tyra
Banks came out and talked some shit about how the show
raised all this money for some stupid fund to keep music
in schools. The only thing I cared about was how she sounded
in her enunciation and the low cut purple dress she had
on which exposed her beautiful, ample bosom.
- That
wacko from the Fat Greek Wedding crap came out and mangled
her introduction for Cindy Lauper. It was at this point
I started to wonder if any of these people rehearsed for
the
show. What followed was a performance by Lauper that was
absolutely dreadful. She said she was singing a new song
from her new album but it was that stupid 50's song "Stay,
just a little bit longer". Yeah that album is going
to do well. Then in another unintentionally comedic moment,
Lauper invited Patti Labelle out to sing Time After Time
and he mic wasn't working HA HA HA. They should have kept
it off because Patti fucked up the words about 20 times
and it looked like she never heard the song. She did that
trick where she waited to hear what Cindy sang, then Patti
repeated it. It was awful. At a couple points Cindy forgot
the words. When she forgot the words, Patti at least would
sorta just hum a long, when Cindy forgot she kinda mumbled
and acted like nobody noticed.
- Jamie
Lynn whatever came out and introduced Jessica Simpson.
It seems that the Soprano star was anorexic, but apparently
along with weight, she lost her last name. Simpson sang
her heart out and appeared angelic in her performance
of Take My Breathe Away. Her vocals could only be matched
by X-tina, but it is her natural beauty and demeanor which
stands far above the rest. She then sang a rendition of
the Robbie Williams bore, "I'm Loving Angels Instead"
which she transformed into a powerful song.
- Patti
Lebelle came back out and sang for about 15 minutes. It
was entertaining because she kept ad libbing in the middle
of her songs. She thanked someone for the flowers. She
mentioned that this is all for the kids and asked for
the people to give a hand to the band in the back up singers,
she also said "I recorded this song about 25 years
ago", HA HA. And she kept using her name in the third
person, saying things like, "Miss Patti loves ya".
During her performance, I took a leak and I was able to
run to the convenience store and get a gallon of iced
tea, she was still wailing away when I returned!
- Thank
God Patti shut up because it was time for the Pussy Cat
Dolls. The lead chic whom I have never seen before was
hot as hell, even hotter than Carmen Elecktra!! They all
took their turn at singing some song which I can't remember
because I was looking at booty. Even Carmen tried to sing,
but nobody cared because they all looked so freakin hot.
They then introduced gay icon Tom Jones who totally buzzkilled
the whole event. Hopefully he made a little bit of dough
so he can go back to his surgeon to fix his face.
- Debbie
Harry came out once again and attempted to entertain the
audience but once again failed miserably. This was another
potty break for me. I really didn't have to go but I sat
down and tried to push something out while I read the
new Maxim mag. Unfortunately I had to cut one of because
I overheard Harry call one of my new honeys Joss Stone
out on stage. They both performed "One Way Or Another"
which turned out to be one of the best performances of
the night! Joss Stone's mesh black dress didn't hurt my
opinion either.
- Strikingly
gorgeous Tyra came back out introduced Gladys Knight without
her pimps, who performed an oldie with true soul. Joss
Stone came out again, and wow we got another outfit change.
I liked the black dress better. Anyway, this chic is good
and hot as hell. Damn then here comes my baby again, Jessica.
Gladys sang Midnight Train To Georgia with her and they
both did a great job. Jess looked great in a long silverish
dress. After that song, Joss came back out. Damn. I would
love to get Jess and Joss together and take some pics
in my new sleigh bed.
- Then
finally the night came to an end with an 80's music medley.
Cindi Lauper sang girls just want to have fun; Shelia
E sang surprise, The Glamorous Life; Debbie Harry sang
Call Me; Ashanti butchered Aint Nobody, she forgot the
words 5 times, continuing with the non rehearsing theme;
Joss Stone sang a sexy version of Sting's If You Love
Someone (Set Them Free); in a sexy low cut black dress,
Jessica sang Steve Winwood's Higher Love; then the finale,
The Pussy Cat Dolls sang Duran Duran's Girls on Film.
Again, the lead singer, a tall brunette stole the show.
Carmen Elecktra looked petrified as she attempted to sing
her part; then again Tom Jones came out and ruined the
mood with a performance of Prince's Kiss, which Jones
recorded in the 80s. Then in the final performance of
the night, Patti Labelle sang New Attitude.
