I heard it. It was hilarious.

I was waiting for them to say.... "Well, that sucked" or something juicy.

11. I never realized that Lionel Ritchie had written so much bad music. And he didn't even get to sing the really bad ones. [quote=CountFunkula]

Yep, he didn't sing the BEST bad number of all, "Say You, Say Me." I don't know what I like most about this song, the moving lyrics ("Say you, say me; say it together . . . Naturally), or the fact that it's both a ballad and dance tune. How many songs (other than "Stairway to Heaven") can say that? Oh, and it has the most wonderful video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUNFiPbKrpQ).

in fairness, he did sing "easy" which is a great song.

I totally forgot to mention that, but yeah, I heard it, as did everyone else who was sober at the time. "So whudder we goin-a say? Fireworks in 15 seconds?"

And a stark reminder that Lionel Ritchie solo is not the Commodores.

I really liked "Penny Lover" and "Hello" and "Endless Love".

Hahahaha, just kidding.

Lionel Ritchie is the Pay Less/Pay Half of music. I just wanted to reference something that El could relate to.

What can you say about an artist that Kenny Rogers called "the greatest songwriter alive"? I'll tell you what you can say...."Hey Kenny, stop drinking."

Wasn't Clifton Davis on the "Love Boat".

are you insulting me b/c I like the song "easy" or because you think I shop at pay less b/c I'm poor? (for the record, pay less is the worst shoe store of all time). Countfunkula is the J Lo of posting.
