The show, telecast by NBC last Monday night, even lost 10% [...]

CUP OF (VIRTUAL) INSANITY

smash — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:23:56 +0000

Full disclosure: I was a pretty hardcore Jamiroquai fan back in the day. In the early 90s I was in Paris and inside the Virgin Megastore I heard a pretty amazing album, “Emergency on Planet Earth” on the headphones. Its eclectic mix of jazzy beats and funk on what was a paean to the horrors [...]

Many have called this the most lackluster season, one that given us mostly stiff and uninspiring contestants, and we’re inclined to agree.
