I said gottdamn, this is the best award show appearance in the history of award show appearances. Antoine Dodson, the king of the “Hide ya kids hide ya wife” meme, was asked to perform a cover of his infamous news interview at the BET awards.
My favorite part of this has got to be the audience reaction; everyone is singing along to this jam.
Ok first I was like, “Aw, isn’t it cute that this little country dude is doing his line dancing with his much taller younger sisters? But then, shit got crazy when poltergeist entered the building and the sexy line dance turned into a demonic crawl on the floor that looked like something out of a Sarah Michelle Gellar horror flick (I love you Buffy!).
My goodness, for some reason I didn’t think the Scissor Sister’s song “Take Your Mama Out” would be so difficult to cover – but apparently it is. Also, there are a whole lotta dudes trying to flex their guitar muscles on this one, but they need a steady dose of
This dude totally had me prepared to sign him to Ellen’s new record label – look how cute his hat is!! And he plays guitar, what could go wrong? Oh man, the singing. It’s awful. I mean, the dude can rock a bit of a falsetto but that’s about it.
This guy employs the “cut off the top of the head” technique so I can’t tell how cute he is but he’s got a little accent that he sings with which is kind of adorbs for a grown-up bearded man. If it were summertime and the living was easy, I’d probably like this more – but sadly it’s not and my judgement hasn’t been clouded by 80 degree weather.
I have a feeling I’m going to have to dedicate an entire category to all the songs the Glee cast covers. Surprisingly enough, I don’t hate this one – well done!
I’m one of those weird people that would watch and most likely enjoy almost anything Courtney Love does. Can she sing? I’m sure somewhere underneath the layers of tar on her lungs, absolutely. Can she spellcheck? HELL NO, but that’s part of her charm. Can she censor some of her thoughts? Only behind spelling mistakes. Can she cover Lady Gaga? Well, she can certainly try: UPDATE someone deleted the original video so you’ll just have to use your imagination to come up with what Court must sound like while covering Gaga.
