1990...the year I felt violated

Posted by: Anonymous | June 11, 2009 4:52 PM

UGH! I saw them in "concert" (HA!) at the Baltimore Arena way back then. Hilarious! And needless to say, I was not old enough at the time to be aware of how much they were charging for Buds back then! Lol!

What is important to remember is that there is no way they could "lip sync" that riotously funny little sideways kick they did in their dance number. True juggernauts of entertainment.

Ah yes... I found it hilarious that so many people expressed righteous indignation about the "fraud" perpetuated by these phonies. The fact is, their pop songs were catchy radio hits (Girl You Know It's True, Blame It On The Rain, etc.), and people primarily liked them for that reason, along with their videos... I mean, so what if these two weren't the actual singers? Did that suddenly mean the songs that had been so popular were suddenly no good? It served as a fine example of the "music industry" taking itself way too seriously, and I always felt that their Grammy should've simply been transferred to the actual singers instead. Comical...
