Instant Star: Just for the heck of it.
June 23, 2007 · Print This Article
I found a karaoke video on YouTube, and I just couldn’t resist. Honestly. Who even knew they HAD karaoke videos on YouTube?! MAN! They have EVERYTHING! I mean, have you seen the South Park version of the Mac/PC commercials floating around? HIIII-larious! (I’ve got a link around here somewhere…) But, see?! Everything! GOSH.
So, anyway, this is a song from Instant Star. And, duh, I am NOT a professional singer. Like, at ALL. Seriously. Simon Cowell would laugh at me and throw erasers at me. And tell me I’m dreadfully awful, pip pip! Cheerio! Except probably not that last “pip, pip” part.
But whatever! It’s all about the KARAOKE FUN! Shut up! It IS! GOOD TIMES! With the singing! And the mocking! HOO!
Right, then. This is me– Cat– covering a song by Alexz Johnson called “I Don’t Know If I Should Stay.”
(Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
that was lovely - would’ve been better with video of you singing, though, you know, for the mocking
Yeah, but the characters on Instant Star are way prettier, see? Plus, I’m not THAT brave. Heh. The kids watched me singing and Hannah started laughing, saying, “Ha! You’re making funny faces!” and Tanner was all, “You know, Momma, this is why people sing in a studio and lip sync, right?” Of course, Alli–concerned with the mocking– burst out, “Don’t listen to them, Momma! You’re doing a GOOD job!”
I’m going to be honest with you, Cat. That was just dreadful. A singing career is not for you. If you think you have a shot here on American Idol, then you’re deaf. I mean…
…wait, this isn’t AI auditions? Oh. Right. I wondered where the other lot were… Pip, pip! Cheerio!
You are like a triple threat. You are funny, Hot and can sing. Who knew.
Who knew, indeed?! I’m impressed.
A’ight, check it out, dawg, check it out. It was a little pitchy in the middle, but you managed to pull it together and in the end, you owned it, baby, you da bomb!
Cat, first of all, you’re beautiful. And you’re a star, you really are, and I love you and America loves you and *snork* . Fuck, who stole my drink?
I have to be honest with you, Cat. I expected bad karaoke … no, wait, let me finish, I expected bad karaoke but in the end, you delivered. That was just brilliant. If you keep singing like this, you’re going to win this competition.
Simon likes it. And if you liked it and want to vote for Cat, it’s 1-866-IDOL 1. Or text 1 on your Cingular telephone. We’ll be right back with Sanjaya.
Ooooh! I wonder how I’m doing over at Dialidol.com!
That was great! I wish I could sing like that!
