If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I adore Liza but this sounds like crap. She doesn't have the voice for it anymore. Like bad karaoke.

"Why is it this makes me recall the Ethel Merman Disco Album?"
You gotta hand it to Ethel. That album was played regularly at Studio 54.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
The real travesty of this is the idea that Hollywood producers were pitching this crap saying, "Oh, have Liza sing 'Single Ladies'! The gay drones will line up en masse!"
And they probably will.
Except those of us who hate being manipulated this way.
F**k SEX AND THE CITY.

I will definitely see it, but I've seen a few scenes and it doesn't look as captivating. It may have jumped the shark, but I am going to check it out at midnight on the 26th.
I agree with you Borstal-I hate gay pandering. One of the reasons I lost interest in Margaret Cho. She got "too gay" and in my opinion lost her perspective as a woman, if that makes any sense.

I thought the same thing! And how much of a parody of herself she's become. So many young people today only know her as this crazy old lady and have no idea how talented she is/was. The cycle continues...
I feel like they're trying to make up for the seriousness of the first film (which, I loved) by having this one be campy and ridiculous...Like the four girls having a song??!!! wtf is up with that?
Oh well, I'm still going to see it at midnight. =)

Borstalboy seems to have the right idea. It's like they intentionally tried to think "We need to sell this to those gays... so what's the gayest thing we can think of to put in the movie?"
Awkward camp though it is, this would undoubtedly rank high on the list of "The gayest things in the world," probably falling somewhere between "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" and "You Can't Stop The Music: The Village People Movie." One of those is a masterpiece. One is an over-the-top camp travesty. You decide.
I like the song but it is so overplayed. Couldn't they have come up with something more original? I love Liza but this isn't going to make me get in line for the movie. I had already decided to wait for the DVD and rent it from Netflix.
Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you.
