I didn't say I was right, I gave my opinion. It's different than yours.

I totally understand how my saying that I found her mannered even for her would make you think I've never noticed her mannerisms before.

#28

I don't think it's a matter of people discovering her mannerisms; at least it's not for me. It's more what Robbie said: the gestures used to underscore something she was doing vocally, and now they're kind of instead of doing something vocally.

I thought she sounded fine, and I always enjoy seeing her. But it seemed a tired version of a tired song. But I'll still take whatever live Bette I can get.

She did sound fine for the most part...but you can hear the effort in what used to be rather effortless. It happens to people who've been singing for such a long time, particularly the belting broads.

Maybe I wasn't just talking about your post or your comments about Bette, Phyllis. Just maybe.

I agree with that, Reg.

Maybe, but maybe only two people used the word mannered so you could see why I'd think that. Sorry, robbie, I guess that one was for you!

Yeah! For Christ's sake with that paternalism. She never said what "The Divine Miss M" STOOD FOR did she?

I'll have to check my liner notes. I think I remember someone telling me it was "Mildew"

If they could only bring back the streaker and David Niven, it would have been almost perfect.

I loved Bette and Pink. Not so much for Idina but I understand her nervousness. Her performance made me long for the days when the Oscar performances were more theatrical (Beauty and the Beast/Aladdin era).

Whenever I saw clips of that when I was little I always thought that was Sonny Bono

She's the divine Miss Mannerisms.

I've loved Bette for Centuries. But I haven't enjoyed her concert/singing performances in a long time. I think there was a point, way too soon, when she turned dignified, graceful and matronly.

Didn't you guys hear? This was the worst Oscars ever. Even worse than any of the previous years, which were also the worst ever.

So you're saying she didn't rise to the occasion?

Speaking of rising... (or not)...
Yowza. Reese! Fashion Fail.

Ooooh...I like a good titty...just not sure about Ms. Reese giving it to me. Luckily, she's standing next to Smurfette's feather duster, so...

Wow. That's a very daring dress! Only someone with a certain body type/image would be able to pull it off. Reese isn't quite cutting it. The dress isn't doing her any favors and vice versa.

Jennifer Lopez however can pull off an outfit like that.
