I had to bail out of the Emmy's after the ungodly Earth Wind and Fire opening number.
But TPunk just had me come back to check out someone doing a wretched version of the "Fame" theme.
I think the Emmy's are not for me.

Sorry I missed the dinner op, Jose. TPunk was in training, and I was out and about in my neighborhood. Someone told me about a place in Harlem we have to try though, called Dinosaur Barbecue. Sounds like heaven.

The writer Emmys are hilarious.

The dynamic duos announced by CBS and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the contest tagged "Emmy Idol":

_ William Shatner ("Boston Legal") and opera's von Stade with the theme from Shatner's 1960s series "Star Trek."

I bet this will be painful!

Kristib Bell doing a good job singing "Fame," but naturally she's lip-sybching since she's dancing and doing acrobatics.,

Actually, I don't believe she was lip-synching. She was a bit pitchy - and those background vocals were way off at times. -Unless they were meant to be that way. I've worked with Kristin a few times, and I've seen and heard her move more and sing better than she just did.

Shatner couldn't be ANY worse than Donald Trump.

I was going by what her mouth was doing at the end of a couple of phrases. She appeared to still be singing even though the vocal had stopped.

Where's William Hung when you need him?

DR MattH - On a related note... Since you seem to be the techno-audio-video-phile of the bunch...

I mentioned this a couple of days ago... When I was at my friends, Joel and John, place, they had a high definition TV, complete with a Bose home theatre system. I noticed that there was a slight delay between the sound and picture. Is it possible all the processing that the HDTV signal goes through would cause that out-of-synchness?

Matt H. · « **Reply #250 on:** September 18, 2005, 05:59:34 PM »

I suspect Shatner, like William Hung, thinks he's a singer.

It's not supposed to be that way. I suspect their receiver has been set to have a slight delay. They could go into the setup menu and do away with that.

Supporting Actress in a comedy no surprise.

Yuck, I say, even though she's fine.

Well... I don't think anyone is really supposed to sing that well during these Emmy Idol segments.

However, I have to say that Donald Trump did a pretty good job, but I did wish that Megan Mullally was able to actually sing her part.

Matt H. · « **Reply #255 on:** September 18, 2005, 06:07:44 PM »

Yes, she was singing it playing Karen Wwalker who has that squeaky voice

Matt H. · « **Reply #256 on:** September 18, 2005, 06:12:03 PM »

Lovely tribute to Johnny. Letterman did a deadpan job reading the tribute, but the clips were nice.

Yeah... But I think she was channeling Ms. Gabor - who definitely did not sing her part of the theme song. I was just wishing that we could have heard her really sing, that's all.

Gary Dourdan and Marcy Gray singing "Movin' On Up."

OK, a little pitchy from her.

Actually it's MACY Gray.

A little surprised with the directing Emmy, but it was totally deserved.

Tuned into the Emmys about half an hour ago and I'm realizing just how little TV I actually get to see. But I do now have some things to add to our Netflix list!
