That movie used to scare me.
Robert Goulet is still known as the man who flubbed the lyrics to the National Anthem at the Ali/Liston fight in '65.
Of course Goulet was Canadian.
And he only missed one word.
And he didn't have a teleprompter.
On the other hand - he isn't blond.
Is that on video anywhere?
i wonder if jessica can spell "kennedy" correctly?
No, but she can spell Robbo
Threadjack-that Leslie Uggams clip made my day. Thanks TheatreDiva. I've never heard anyone scat the word "bejesus". That really made my day. :)I am laughing so hard I'm crying.
speaking of scat....
OMG, the subtitles in the Leslie Uggams piece were hysterical. I can't stop laughing.
I blame Proactive.
Yes, "Hucking the Bejesus" is now my favorite saying, next to RTFan is an @sshole....

Can't understand how anyone could forget the words to that song. Well, she's only human.
...Like a dog to a bone, IT comes running.
RTFan, take your postings and your dried up cuze and leave.
Do you have to be hit with a brick before you get it?
Dumber than a box of hair.

Did Simpson mistake a box of Rid-O-Rat for Skinny and Sweet?

That Leslie Uggams video is the funniest goddamn thing I've seen all day! I love where they slow down Stacey Keach and zoom in on his mouth: "Iiittt'sss goooottttt toooo beeee gooooooood."
I guess improvising isn't her thing. I guess as long as you know Daddy will make it better, there's no use putting in an honest effort anyway.
I love the look she gets in her eyes....
Diva are you talking about Leslie or Jessica?!
Both
I'd love to greet her with, "I loved your performance where you sang, "June is Bustin' Out All Over". Again, I can't stop laughing because I'm picturing the subtitles where you can't understand a word she's singing.
It was so hard NOT to say that when I dressed her this summer...
You have much better restraint than I would have had. I would have been, "So Leslie, tell me, what was up with that June is Bustin' Out All Over performance in Washington, DC?" That's like knowing a secret about someone and they have no idea that you know.
I just couldn't....
Shocking, huh?
I just have to add, what was with the black sequined number she was wearing in the middle of the day during the summer!!

"I wonder how many "stars" have flubbed the lyrics to a song they knew they were going to perform live..."
You can always tell who the truly talented artists are. Let's examine how a professional handles it. Ella Fitzgerald was live in Berlin when she screwed up the lyrics to Mack the Knife. (Please note: the Germans don't appreciate people messing up their Brecht). But did Ella run offstage? Nope, she just kept right on singing. And it was all put on the album for the world to hear. But Ella wasn't content to let it go. She went back the next year and made sure to sing Mack the Knife again, live and on record.
