Beeing with the Stars?
I guess that the place the Stars go after they dance is...another reality show.
"Dancing with the Stars alum Joey Fatone will be hosting NBC’s new summer reality show, The Singing Bee, the network announced today. The show debuts July 10."
Somehow, this does not fill me with confidence. I didn’t much enjoy his parts of Dancing with the Stars, and I really don’t see "Singing Bee" as being much of a success. They’re trying too hard, really, to make the arts…well, easy to swallow.
I think we need to give people credit. Things don’t have to be easy to be good; sometimes the work you put into things is what makes finally understanding it all the sweeter. I love Bizet’s Carmen because I studied it, for a semester, in school; working that hard to understand the complexities of an art form make it unbearably rich and complex.
It’s like the difference between cheesecake and a cookie.
