Embarrassing Musical Moments

posted by on July 8 at 12:52 PM

At 2:30 this morning, Live Earth ended up on my TV and I couldn’t find the remote. I sat there in stunned silence as I watched this musical train wreck crawl across the screen:

It’s The Police, doing “Message in a Bottle” but…go to the 2:50 mark.

OMG!

Did Kanye write that “verse,” like, 6 seconds before he went on stage? Did he realize how monotone he sounded? Whose idea was that?

I like Kanye &mdash and yes, even The Police in their own special way &mdash but man, don’t cross the streams.

I never thought I'd be typing the phrase, "worse than P.Diddy," but here I am doing just that.

I for one really think all this Sting-ified-Police really sucks. It's just bad.

Tipper Gore came on stage? WTF? Was it so that all the musicians could thank her for those goddamn Parental Advisory stickers?

Kanye sucked. Pharrell sucked from RIO too. Honestly, London had the best performers and performances of the entire event. The only exception was Alicia Keyes giving every single song her ALL in a big way. Even the odd pairing she did with Keith Urban Kidman.
