We got a first hand look at the power of a fan base on the FOX Celebrity Duets results show tonight with the surprising elimination of Lea Thompson as the next celebrity to get booted off the show.
Come on! She was definitely a better singer than Cheech Marin and Carly Patterson. But the fans of the other 2 celebrities voted and Lea's supporters didn't. That or she didn't have much of a fan base to begin with. By the way did Lea Thompson looked like she was about to cry when she was kicked into the bottom three or was it just me?
Like I keep saying, the executive producers of Fox's Celebrity Duets is smart. They went after the gay population this time. Casting 3 gay icons on the show, Fox is going after viewers not quality. We can all be honest here. The singing and content caliber is no competition for CBS's Rock Star Supernova, but what the heck it's for charity they are not signing the singers after the shows. So with todays results, this confirms my belief that Lucy Lawless, the Xena warrior princess will be one of the last ones to be kicked off the show. Yep, mark my words. The fan base for Xena/Lucy is GIGANTOUS. Xena the show, inspired thousands of uber fan fiction and it's still going. As a side bar, Lucy Lawless changed her wardrobe strategy today. I have to say it's a much better improvement than the previous form fitting gowns she wore. It made her look like she was in a beauty pageant or something. Tonight she really flaunted it.
Those tassels were just going round and round.. swing baby swing! ya! Hmm.. sorry a bit of Austin Power just slipped in.
Anyways, where was I, oh yes. The loyalty of followers should not be overlooked in any fashion or form. Even though Lucy Lawless is not the best singer on the show, what do I care. She's Xena, and Xena will get the votes. Life ain't fair so stop the bitchin. What would make Celebrity Duets even sillier and more transparent as the real viewer hoarder as it is now, is to have casted Patrick Stewart.
Who cares if Captain Jean-Luc Picard can sing or not! He can be rehearsing his lines and I am willing to wager that Trekkie fans will still vote for him! Hell Captain Picard might actually win the show!
It basically comes down to loyalty/image doesn't it, for choosing one thing over the other. Grocery shopping is a good example. How many of us will walk down the cereal isle and go for the brand name boxes instead of the generic grocery store versions of the same cereal?
