"Celebrity" Singing Bee

[see see]

Last night when I naively tuned in at 9.30pm (the advertised starting time) to watch The Footy Show, I caught the last few minutes of something called the Celebrity Singing Bee. Based on what I saw, I have the following question - who the hell are the supposed "celebrities" they had on the show? I managed to identify that one of them was that chick from the highly regarded and sadly missed E Street and I think another may have been Maurie Fields' son (although I'm not certain because he didn't once utter the phrase "you mongrel!"). The host also referred to the fact that the guy who won it (how easy were the songs they gave him at the end?) was some sort of kiddies TV host. That would explain his hyperactive manner and general air of vacuousness.

However, for the life of me I couldn't put a name to any of the other "celebrities". At first I thought one may have been Kate Ritchie, but on closer inspection she was actually an older and skankier version of Kate. Also, there was some blonde chick who looked like she was straight out of a caravan park, so I assume that she was probably a Big Brother contestant at some stage. I have no idea who the others were. Perhaps the fact that they were on the show of itself makes the "celebrities".

I saw the end as well see see and I wouldn't have a clue either. Greedy Smith was the only recognisable face for me, apart from the dark guy who sings in the house band. He used to be the lead singer of one of Melbourne's best known cover bands in the early 90's, called "Living Colour" (from memory). The rest of the supposed "celebrities" could've been plucked off a Swan St tram for all I know.

The winner was a tosser and the song lines he had to produce were kindergarten easy. Crap show

What was up with Greedy's hair? At first I thought it was a rug but then if it was, you'd think he'd get one in a colour other than grey.

I prefer that bloke who was hosting it last year to be doing it again. Joey or what ever his name was.

Joey Fatone from an American boy band. Nsync or something, sorry I'd be stuffed if I was competing on boy-band night because I can't name an Nsynch song.

I do prefer someone local as host, have really dug this show in recent weeks.

Who did we have this week, Michaela Banas, she's from McLeods Daughters and wasn't looking her best.
Actor and presenter Blair McDonaugh, formerly of Big Brother 1 and Neighbours.
The ass shaking fat chick stretching the Ed Hardy to extremes was some radio presenter, name unknown.
The winner was a Kids WB Tv presenter Shura Taft.
Melissa "Hands off my detonator" Tkautz and Marty Fields.

seems a tad unfair to have these ex-musicians like Melissa Tkautz (loosest definition) and Tottie Goldsmith on, but I guess they're not winning, so it evens itself out.

Well... as the rule goes, you don't have to sing it well - just sing it right.
