Hit Me Baby One More Time
Been hearing so much buzz about this show http://www.nbc.com/nbc/Hit_Me_Baby/ currently airing. Reception was so phenomenal in the U.K. they had to bring it to the States. Whoever thought of the concept struck a goldmine. Wow factor must be off the charts. Hope our local cable operator picks it up soon (hint, hint)...
I have no qualms about admitting that I am a true child of the 80s. I loved listening to music during that era. That was the time new wave ruled. Had many, many favorites as a result. HMBOMT will be presenting acts of yesteryears (mostly 80s) back on screen to perform their previous hits as well as do a cover of a song currently on the billboard hitlist. At the end of the show, the audience decides on the best one for the night and his/her charity gets $20,000. How cool is that! Not only do we get to see if the years have been kind to the artists we liked back in the day, we get to reminisce about happy moments their songs were associated with as an added treat. The first week had Cece Peniston ("Finally" and Faith Hill's "There You'll Be"), Flock Of Seagulls ("I Ran" and Ryan Cabrera's "On The Way Down"), Arrested Development ("Take Me To Another Place" and Los Lonely Boys' "Heaven") and Tiffany ("I Think We're Alone Now" and Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway"). The second week served up Vanilla Ice ("Ice, Ice Baby" and Destiny's Child's "Survivor"), The Knack ("My Sharona" and The Jets' "Are You Gonna Be My Girl") and Tommy Tutone ("867-5309/Jenny" and Blink 182's "All The Small Things"). Last week witnessed the return of Wang Chung ("Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" and Nelly's "Hot In Here"), Sophie B. Hawkins ("Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" and Five For Fighting's "100 Years"), Howard Jones ("No One Is To Blame" and Dido's "White Flag") and Irene Cara ("What A Feeling" and Anastacia's "I'm Outta Love"). Next week should be something to watch out for. Who knows, Tears For Fears, Rick Springfield, Gazebo, Duran Duran, General Public, Cyndi Lauper or Debbie Gibson might be on.
As an aside, know anyone who'll want to be on this other new show?
Paris' mom gets her own show
Btw, finally got my new phone after months of deliberating. Now I'll be spending many gleeful hours exploring it. To quote Perfect Strangers' Balki Bartokomous, "Time to do the dance of joy"....
