There I said it.
I know that popular opinion says Josh Groban is this romantic mortal singing god, and the proper response upon hearing him open his big windpipe is to swoon and enjoy the love juice pouring down the inside of yours thighs, but it just doesn’t happen for me. To me, hearing a Josh Groban song is like listening to George Straight and Pavarotti’s lovechild singing a Nicholas Sparks’ novel. But tonight he went too far, ruining several great theme songs before I could get the TV muted. That’s just plain cold.
And while I am raggin’ on the Emmys, the opening was quite possibly the worst thing that I have ever witnessed on television. I mean, next to the announcement of George W’s win. (2000 or 2004… take your pick.)
Note to Emmy producers. Quality not quantity. One good host is better than five piss poor ones. And the opening with Oprah? What a suckfest!
But I’m not all complaints.
Don Rickles and Kathy Griffin = hysterical
Tina Fey = supa hot
Almost makes up for the time I accidentally made eye contact with her in front of a theater in NYC and she looked like she wanted to shiv me.

Hey now…I love Josh Groban’s voice, as does my mom, but that’s okay if you don’t. I have to admit I didn’t see any of the awards show, but just read the list of winners and am thoroughly disgusted. 30 Rock? Whatever.
Hey, I was with you that time you saw Tina Fey…although at the time I only vaguely knew who she was.

I’m a little proud to say that I don’t think I’ve ever heard Josh Groban sing.
Go Team Me!
In other news, I was pleasantly surprised to find that after I logged off the WMC chat on Saturday that my books were waiting for me on the living room table. Of course the “bad” news is that I’ve been reading it ever since and am now only 15 pages from the end, which means it almost over. Phooey!

Ever curious, I looked him up on youtube and must say I’m with you. As far as I’m concerned, he gets nothing flowing for me…

Didn’t watch the Emmys. (something about them being on ABC. I know, I know I should get over it already) Don’t care about Josh Groban, one way or another. But after reading so much about his ‘performance’ I too checked it out on youtube.
I’m going to have to agree with the general consensus and Bart Simpson. It is absolutely, unequivocally possible for something to both suck and blow!

I’m glad some people share this opinion, though it’s not a popular one. I told my brother that I don’t enjoy Josh Groban’s voice tonight, and I thought he was gonna cry.
And as for love juices… sometimes it’s essential to talk like a bad romance novel. Remember that. It’s an important life lesson.
