I watched the Nelson Mandela concert on VH1 Monday night to see Queen with new lead singer Paul Rodgers (of Bad Co. and Free fame).  I thought he sounded okay, definitely not Freddie Mercury.

On the other hand, the concert special featured three songs by Amy Winehouse, who looked and sounded like she belonged back in the hospital.  A complete, mumbling mess  Another Queen song instead of that beehived eyesore would have been appreciated.

I also got pretty tired of seeing Will Smith's wife attached at his hip.  Will was doing his hip-hop thing and I said to my wife, "give it 30 seconds and his wife will be jumping on stage."  Sure enough, there she was jumping around like she stepped on a high voltage line.  Oh by the way, Smith has a new movie opening this week - but I'm sure that was just a coincidence.
