Is that Uncle Jesse with Liza?
Cut. It. Out.
hahahahahahaha!
that’s rich. 🙂
I love me some Liza, but that was just horrible. And yet I couldn’t stop listening…it’s that bad.
The kids are adorable but Marcia Cross looks emaciated and sick. Eat something!!!
HOLY CRAP DID ANYONE ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THAT RENDITION OF IT?
It is AWFUL. Mind you, I’m not super hot on the original, but OHMYGOD THAT’S BAD.
I think my ears are bleeding. I couldn’t make it to the end. Wow.
I gotta second that above–Marcia Cross looked like she just got out of a refugee camp or just finished chemotherapy, she’s so incredibly thin.
If that’s what it takes to make it in Hollywood, no matter so many of them are messed up in the head. If she were shorter, she could share clothes with her three year old daughters. Whew.
It’s called CAMP I think it is highlarious and awesome
UNCLE JESSE! 😀 <3
paris hilton is sooo tacky, ugly and nasty ugh…
But single ladies was a stupid song to begin with. The only thing that made it a hit was the stupid dance.
Jamie lynn , what colLege can you go with a GED??
@QB most colleges will accept a GED. my friend went from a GED straight to USC, it’s not a big deal.
It’s not humanly possible to “ruin” the world’s worst song. I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than anything that Beyonce sh*ts out. Her “music” makes my ears bleed and my dog used to whine when one of her songs came on, so I imagine my dog’s ears bled too. How that talentless c*nt ever got so famous and popular is beyond my understanding. At least Liza HAS talent, unlike Beyonce, the most useless creature to ever be shat out by the music industry.
@ kia —
Agreed! (Now, when is this song — and the original singer — going to go away?)
My daughter went from a GED to a nursing degree. Homeschool, ever heard of it?
Are you sure Beyonce didn’t already ruin Single Ladies? If anything, every single parody made of that horrific video/song has improved it.
Am I the only one seeing something in that dude’s pants in the Kate Hudson link? Is that just a weird fold in the material or is it what I think it is? Maybe it’s not his arms lifting her off the ground….
You know a song’s trash when the parodies are way better than the original. Beyonce is tooo stupid and sheltered and has too many ppl blowing derion craptacular fashions up her rear to realize the crappiness of her “music.” But on a good note I think the public is finally tiring of this talentless famewhore.
LOL @kia.
Tell us how you REALLY feel. (btw, I totally agree).
And re: GED-is that comment meant to imply that anyone who, for whatever reason, was unable to complete traditional classroom high school, is doomed for life, to never attend college?
I’m sure that GED comment was meant to be coy, and failed…no biggie.
Next.
ps.-Uncle Jesse is lookin’ good! At least in these pics. Looks like he put on a bit of weight, but it’s doing him well.
Kia those are some strong words. I’m not a fan of beyonce but please. At least she writes her songs, produces her albums, puts a lot of effort into what she does. How is that talentless? I like Liza but she’s nothing but a glorified karaoke singer – sings other people’s songs, I don’t think she’s written or produced anything in her career. Your remarks are so hateful you sound either really jealous or borderline racist.
Liza, why?
Sorry radbh but I side with Kia. I believe if you check album credits alot of ppl are listed Beyonce gets named because even if you contribute only a word or phrase you get credit and Beyonce’s ego is that large. Single Ladies was I believe written by some dude in Atlanta. As far as putting a lot of effort – well, Miley Cyrus and Kesha put effort into what they do and its still trash. Face it, Beyonce is just a cash register on two legs, a totally manufactured, dim-witted celebutard. She cares only about herself – how much money has she donated to help the ppl of Haiti. Why are you defending someone that has contributed to the ruination of pop music and doesn’t give a damn about you or I or anyone else.
Love it.
Love Ms. Minnellii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s TOO good on arrested development!!!!
excuse me but someone who sings other people’s songs is called a singer.
as opposed to a singer-songwriter. get it?
in fact, back in the dark ages of the pre-1960’s music era, singers always did other people’s songs. songs that were usually written by a team of two: composer and lyricist. so those who were really really good at either music or words or voice got to shine. the result: a hell of a lot more great songs than you find today, when talent takes a back seat to ambition and booty.
check out peggy lee singing “fever” for instance. or johnny mathis’ version of “chances are.”
“single ladies” isn’t even really a song, imo. more of a ditty, or a jingle. catchy, sure. but not a real song.
that said, go liza!
@qb- you can get into plenty of colleges with a ged. in fact, if you check out numerous college website under admissions requirements they list highschool graduation or ged.
Dang it, Kaiser! First you get me to examine Kate Hudson’s boobs and now I’ve checked out Paris Hilton’s ass….which – by the way – is non-existent. That’s why I think it looks weird in the picture.
are gradmas still considered single ladies?
Uggghhh…
That song is seriously an ear worm.
Single Ladies is better than most of show tunes Liza sings.
Seriously. There’s practically no compositional difference between show tunes and pop tunes, save that most show tunes are perpetually stuck in pre-modern chord structure.
Single Ladies is a pop song marketed to the mass audience, whereas show tunes are pop songs marketed to those who delude themselves into thinking they’re better than the unwashed masses.
If you want to compare Schubert, Wolf, or R. Strauss (all prominent composers who wrote great songs) to Beyonce, ok, but f*king Liza and show tunes?! Plz.
There’s a reason why Kristol, the NY Times columnist and prominent conservative twit, doesn’t like either pop or broadway–both are pop music and nothing compared to the likes of Mozart or Beethoven.
@sdca , stop putting words on my mouth.
When I apply to the university , my IGS was calculated by my grades from highschool and my college board score and that determine if my IGS was high enough to be chosen for the university and the program I wanted.
I don’t know how the admission process is in the U.S.
So I guess someone in my country would use the score like their grades.
I hate that song. But I love Liza – her Arrested Development character is where I got my screen name (Lucille 2).
Paris Hilton looks like an old grandma (no offense to grandmas intended).
If Jamie Lynn is going to college, good for her! Maybe everything that’s happened with her sister has made her appreciate what opportunities she has. Staying out of the spotlight has been good also.
Wow, Marcia Cross looks scary skinny.
Whoa, whoa, whoa…..
One may not like Beyonce, but I find it mind-boggling that people don’t recognize the girl’s talent, particularly amongst the plethora of pop starlets who legtimately are mediocre in terms of vocal chops and/or effective performance(Rhianna, Ke$ha, Britney Spears….).
Every person is entitled to his opinions, but they really don’t mean much without previous background knowledge regarding the art of performing in the context of Western/African influenced-music to support their claims.
Sorry, CB readers. Now, I’ve never been a fan of the songs that Beyonce’s team of producers concoct for her. I think they’re weak and substantively vapid both in terms of lyrics and musical interest, but hell that’s 98% of pop music. Beyonce, however, IS an effective performer. She’s got commanding charisama and knows how to maninpulate a stage. This CANNOT be underestimated as, in the current manufactured commerical music climate, this raw abiity to PERFORM is what’s missing from MOST “performers”. Contrary to those of you who are all too willing to put her in the the category with these other questionably talented acts, Beyonce is ALWAYS in tune, her tone is ALWAYS well-supported (which is rather impressive considering how nuch cardio is involved in her routines), she possesses a natural physicality for movement, she works her ass off, and when the structure of her shit-produced music actually calls for it, her harmonies (which SHE does actually create) are well-blended and sonorically interesting (she tends explore beyond typical triadic harmony). Your judgments should really should be lodged at her team of quack producers. They are in charge of the current sound in pop music, most of them without much of a clue as to how Western music is constructed. (Ask them what an authentic cadence is and I bet they couldn’t tell you.)
Beyonce is not a musician, but she puts fire into everything that she’s given to work with, even though a lot of it is crap. Hate the producer not the performer.
Oh, and the cover….
I’m actually upset at the sound engineers who though that combining strings and brass with a drum kit handclaps would sound good. I realize that the instrumentation of most the music that Liza is known for is a big band orchestra, but the combination of elements here is really cacophonous and shoddily done. And poor Liza has been past her prime for the last two and half decades.
I’m with kia. You can’t ruin a song that already sucks.
@ yourmom: I see what you’re talking about in Colin’s pants. Oh my!
@kia, you sound so hatefull! Get a grip. The girl doesn’t even knw you. Call Beyonce whatever you want, the girl is beautifull, sexy, can command a stage, is married to a very very rich guy who obviously loves her, has tons and tons of money. Ha, now i see why so many of you are green with envy.
I kind of like it. Its a Vegas version. Liza’s unique and its great to see that still out there in a world full of fake copies.
Marcia Cross looks really anorexic in that photo. I know she has said that she goes hungry at times to keep her weight down, but that is too thin. I’m glad to see her kids looking healthy, though.
It’s impossible to ruin a Beyonce song. She did it herself first. Comparing musicals to BEYONCE songs? It takes a lot more effort starring in musicals. Especially memorising scripts. She’s so up her own butt. She wears short slutty dresses. Enough said.
About time somebody ruined a Beyonce song. Show the b!tch what she isn’t worth.
Somebody needs to bring Beyonce back down to earth. Way too full of herself, like Tess Daly.
I’m amazed it took until comment 32 for someone to claim “OMG U ARE ALL JUST JELLIZ!!!!111!~!!”
QB, not that I’m a fan of JLS, but I wanted to point out that a LOT of people can get into a decent school with a GED.
For me, I had to take the GED and score high. Then I went to a local technical college for about a year and acheieved high grades. Then I was able to transfer to a very good private 4 year college, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.
I’ts not an easy path, for sure, but it is doable.
There comes a time for many performers when everything they do fall into camp. Liza passed that point years ago.
great advice and sharing,I will buy one this fantastic pants for me .thanks
