when a sixty plus year old woman who's had double hip replacement shows everybody up you know you have problems--i mean liza just shone like the pro she is and frankly she looked slim and like she'd had a freshening up from the botox/face lift fairy that just WORKED for her!
1- conan left b/c he was embarrassed-stupid bit and not very funny
2- her stand up was fizzled and a little lame--she's rusty not like back when she was on every day in her element--but once again--a few laughs --just kinda meek ones-- i gave her the benefit of the doubt cause it's been a while
3- i kinda wondered if they were intentionally trying to make it lame and not very funny--like sending up old variety shows--but if so bad idea and PLUS_-some of the old variety shows were fantastic! remember the babara streisand and dean martin ones? those were kick ass! i've even seen bob hope specials better than this!
4- alec baldwin was the fat misogynist he always is--and i love him-but come one--yikes! once again, when the unplanned "motorboating" of a plump (though beautiful--i've always thought rosie is lovely--she has snow white's colouring) lesbian celebrity is a highlight-YIKES!
5- jane k and her pancake butt, skinny legs, and stiff dancing were a little sad but she has a dynamite voice and seems like a sweet girl
6- i LOVE clay's long crazy spamalot wig hair--but once more--he's so talented--they could have used him to better effect
7- harry had a cold or something weird was happening--he seemed unsure of his voice and didn't sound his best or very confident--which was weird! maybe he felt like he was on a sinking ship and was embarrassed too
and i love him to pieces-- repetitive cheese that he does sometimes and all

8--good god WHERE did they dig up gloria estefan from? she has a dynamite voice too but really? SHAKE YOUR BODY DO THE CONGA? and note to self--3/4 length sleeves if you're petite give you midget arms--will remember this
9-how freakin' horrible was that "spin" # done to bad nineties techno? EWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwww----am i at my county fair? YUCK! she should have gotten break skate or the other almost winner from that america's nest best dance crew if she needed some dancing weirdness hip street thing
10) leave the tap dancing to the other brothers--or at least don't shoot the whole piece in silhouette so we can't see what's going on! did love the gorgeous solo violin in this though
11) why do something at all if you aren't gonna knock it out of the park? i wonder who directed and produced this? perhaps they are more to blame? or maybe rosie just has her hands full with four kids and a wife and is used to kickin' it in miami--& a little--errrr--out of tough with the peeps
12) i will be so happy when the obligatory snooze-o-rama r & b jams finally leave us alone--i love neo-soul but this crap? and again, sad that is was well- art directed and one of the better scenes
13) alanis morisette--i do think she's a hugely gifted writer and performer but her stuff gets SOOOO repetitive and she needs glenn ballard to "punch it up"-- did love her super sensitive i'm a girl songwriter backdrop--very lovely--but--an odd choice here--hmm--still making up my mind about this one, in general pretty ok with it though she is a little 5 years ago too--i'm not saying you can't have a classic performer--but they need to do somethign classic--maybe a pas de deaux/ dance duet in addition here woulda been nice/
14) do you think they just ran out of money? this really should have been better! but i still love you Ro! just get out there more! you'll be back on top--she wasn't that bad-this needed better writing and stage production and much "hipper" feel or it totally sending up the formulaic genre and OTT camp-it can't ride the fence---when you have to "explain" a gag--*sigh* ugh. but again, SO HAPPY to see rosie o' d back on tv
