Taiwanese Guy Kills Whitney Houston

Eric Lin, competing in One Million Star, chooses to sing I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston and absolutely kills it. Easily could be considered one of the best performances on a star search competition in quite some time. I can't believe a guy can sing a Whitney Houston song spot on. Unbelievable.

PS- What do you think are the odds that this guy either cheated somehow or is really a woman?

Pacquiao The Next American Idol?

When Manny Pacquiao isn't laying blows in the ring he's laying down tracks in the studio. No, he's not pursuing a rap career like several other athletes,(Ron Artest, Allen Iverson, Shaq, The Rock, Chris Webber, Kobe, Deion, the list goes on...), but rather a romantic pop singer. Although he is no Glenn Medeiros, he hits some high notes and packs quite the vocal punch.

With all the recent hype over a potential fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr, I feel as if Manny could use this to his advantage. Floyd Mayweather Sr. feels very strongly about his son's ability, especially when facing Manny mono y mono.

"I am entitled to speak on what I think, on my opinion. I will say this, if Pacquiao is using those roids, it won't help him against my son. I got a poem on that and it goes, 'Roids don't mean spit if you can't hit.' And Pacquiao will never hit my son if they fight." -Floyd Mayweather Sr.

If the Sr.'s theory is correct and Manny can't land a punch on Pretty Boy Floyd, then Pac-Man may be forced to resort to an alternative hook. While Money Mayweather is exhausting himself trying to land a jab, Manny can lay back and serenade Floyd's swings with some romantic rhythms. Gay? Maybe. Expected? Probably not. Innovative? Certainly. It comes down to psyching out the opponent and what more could Manny do to psych out Money man? It just seems like a no brainer for victory.  

Verdict: Bet the house on Pac-Man's larynges.

Ellen Degeneres Is An Old Bag

Ellen DeGeneres isn’t a fan of high-def TV. The new “American Idol” judge brought in her own lighting crew after she decided the talent show’s cameramen made her look too old and wrinkly. “Ellen thought her ‘Idol’ close-ups were very unflattering,” a production insider told the National Enquirer . “She said she was shocked at how old and tired she could look in high definition!”

Hm. Maybe Ellen should of realized this BEFORE the first few episodes of Idol season started. The bottom line is Ellen you are old, you do look tired, and you are not a young attractive female, save that for the contestants. You job isn't to look pretty, it isn't too act young, simply try to be the judge they hope to be.

Bottom line: Idol never should of let that drunk Paula leave.  She didn't need any special lighting to look hot.

Inmate Idol In The 305

"Simon, Ellen, Randy and Kara may have been replaced by steely-eyed prison guards, and 'You're Going to Hollywood' was replaced with 'Back to Your Cell,' but for the inmates at the Metro West Detention Center in Miami-Dade, an opportunity to show off their vocal stylings was too good to pass up. 

Yesterday, the prison held its 2nd annual Inmate Idol Contest, pitting convicted felons and inmates awaiting trial against each other in a singing and rapping battle.

Corrections officers served as judges as orange jumpsuit-clad jailbirds sang about religion, domestic violence and love."

This sounds like some kind of joke right?  I would have absolutely watched this if it was televised.  Does this jail realize how much money they could have made off this?  All I can imagine is Nelly tearing up the mic with Cheeseburger Eddie as his hype man busting the perfect robot dance, Longest Yard style.     Ya ya ya, singing/rapping about religion, domestic violence, and love are beneficial to women in society, but I'd like to see Guard Simon spice things up and give them 30 seconds to spew off a freestyle about why they're in the pen.  That would be absolute money in the bank if it was televised.  Sure, the jail would need to hire one hell of a lawyer and PR exec, but that would instantly take over the viral market.
