For some reason, I find this show entertaining (or maybe I’m just desperate for Thursday night entertainment). For the uninitiated, this is a show where five one hit wonders from years past play two minute versions of their three minute long hit songs in the first half hour and then play a hit from a current artist in the second half hour. The audience then votes on their favorite. The artist who wins donates their winnings to the charity of their choice.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this show, it’s that old white men can’t sing. At least that’s true most of the time. Billy Vera proved the theory wrong tonight. But he didn’t win, either, so there.
It’s not like the show is the greatest thing on earth or anything, but I’m compelled to watch it each week. I think this show is directly aimed at my demographic (and maybe those a little older than me). In the past weeks, we’ve heard “867-5309”, “My Sharona”, “Working for the Weekend”. Finally, a show for old people! It’s about time someone caters to my generation.
