Alice Cooper- Way cool, I was that guy’s biggest fan when I was in jr. high. Still love his old stuff \*\*Welcome To My Nightmare \*\*and before, back to **Love It To Death**. Good to see Siobhan again, she’s gonna be a star. Those Beegee guys…coulda done without them. ---

The BeeGees and Alice Cooper. Pretty much on the opposite ends of the “cool” scale when I was in High School in the late 70s. And Doobie Brothers were about in the middle. I am waiting for Debby Boone to come out and “light up my life”. ---

Michael and Michael are more like it. Old, soulful, funky and good. ---

Christina does that same hand twitchy thingy Whitney does. Beyonce sometimes does it too. I think it’s a sign that the singer is going to show off. ---

“Go down with you to the theater?” ROFL. Crystal looked like she was barely keeping a straight face during that. ---
