Anyone else watching RuPaul's Drag Race? Without any spoilers, Raja tore it up tonight. Wonder if Adam inspired his performance? The queens had to record a song and then lipsynch it. If anyone wonders how much a producer can manipulate a singer's voice and make it sound better, watch this show. The queens in the studio CAN'T SING. But, the version of their singing they lipsynched to sounded 1000% better. Proof positive that with the right sound equipment these days you can make ANYONE sound good. Makes me think of the dog singing on YT with autotune. I was watching. Raja! Raja!! Raja!!! She was fierce with her punk rock. As far as the singing, yes the raw singing was awful. The recorded versions were 1000% better. I was horrified about how Raja was going to sound when she had to lip synch with an audience, but technology prevailed. She had the look. She had the act down and technology took care of the music. Hey guys, submit your doggies and kitties for music on CHR. Anything is a possiblity. What is CHR and how do you submit your doggies & kitties there? I have 5 kitties & 1 very special, sweet pupdog.  |

CHR = Commercial Hit Radio The drag queens could not sing. They went into a recording studio and you got to hear the raw footage. However, the resulting playbacks were great compared to the raw singing. That being said, doggies and kitties could not have been any worse than the queens raw singing. Music engineering can do wonders with whatever the source. With your five kitties and an pup dog, just imagine the engineered autotuned harmonies. Your menagerie could have a hit single. |

I missed the Rupaul drag race tonight. From twitter, it sounds like Raja did good. Hope they replay it. I was so wrapped up in Adam that I didn't care that I missed it, but would like to see it. Have to say that my 4 cats did NOT enjoy Adams dvd...lmao. Guess I had the volume up a bit too loud for them. One kitty sat on the top of the couch for a bit and then went and hid. (his ears were back..hehe) I know, not funny. arg... So sorry, kitties. Luv you lots...but Adam comes first sometimes. Am I a bad kitty mama? OMG ILHSFM it almost hurts!!!!!!!!!! For anyone who doesn't get LOGO RuPauls Drag Race is on VH1 on Tuesdays at 8:00PM. |

For the end of the book readers, there's already talk of who won Season 3 online. I had to look. No spoilers ! |

Several of my kitties are very vocal, especially Big Red!! He talks/sings all the time. And, Foster, my pup dog bays when he hears sirens. Willie, my sweet kitty boy, has a very special *meow* and Sasha, my old girl, talks all the time. I had a plethoria (sp?) of money makers here, right?? hahahaha Thanks for answering, readon! If you ever go to visit your son, let me know. Maybe we can meet up!! This is such a great day, with getting my DVD. I'm sooooo happy!! Adam will never cease to amaze me. So happy that I watched Idol and found him. If I'm ever down or sad, I only need to hear/watch him sing, and all is well. Don't know how he can do that, but he can. He helped me over one of the worst times in my life. And, he continues to do that. What a totally amazing man he is. I thank my lucky stars every day. Life is good with Adam in it. And, all of you here at Atop, I thank you too. I don't post a lot anymore since I'm working lots of hours, but I do read, and I do so appreciate all of you. You keep me sane. That's saying a whole lot!! Hugs!!!!!!! Luv you!!!!! |

*attempting to download now* Where do I even start?? I watched the DVD and I'm right with you, glittergma!!! It was a blast. Yes, there are a few things I might tweak, but still, it is an absolute blast overall and the end is lulzworthy. I caught the tail-end of that convo about the poster on MJ's that makes that mummified argument about "people who play instruments are more musical" and that "anyone can sing," which makes me want to spit and rage and then say ... HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! Did she miss the last 9,090,828 audition episodes of AI??? Apparently she did. Fail on her. That is just an embarrassingly ludicrous thing to say and I hope the villagers at MJ's come with their torches and pitchforks to sweep her away and drop her off a proverbial cliff, that contention is beyond ridiculous. BRB, I'm thinking I could do open-heart surgery tomorrow ... :D or maybe I'll go solve that pesky nuclear reactor issue in Japan ... See, this is where there is "opinion" and where there is just BS-out-the-ass. That's why I took issue with the RS review. It wasn't about the actual DVD, which I agree, had a couple of issues (with production, not Adam), but the guy used the lamest modes of critique which I've long taken issue with. THAT'S what bugged, not the fact that he didn't rave. Neither here nor there though. I enjoyed the hell out of it. |
