A far cry from Glee.....after a parade of MTV-ish glare 'n' flash performances of slop-pop extravagances......a pittance of attention-getting Lady Gaga ripoff soulfulness from another ex-Disneyite who's struggled with emotional disorders while lugging the leprechaun's gold to the bank......I would have preferred her to have performed, minus the drag queen makeup and Billy Porter costuming, however.......and 'the truth hurts', doesn't it, Lizzo?....but The Truth was largely buried under all the tinsel, sequins, RuPaulishness of Big, Loud...if vacuous....play-pretend earnestness..........Well, by contrast, Demi appeared....a relatively martyrish Symbol...in holy white.... to the Music Business's 'give 'em what they wantness' of commercial exploitation......The "Formula' has always worked, so why stop...now......Bebopaloolah....sometimes, it's Crying Time...with millions catching tears in 'memory vials'.....
3 1/2 hours later the stage is 'stone cold', but for the bright lights and clean-up crew, sweeping up all the tinsel and sequins stuck in drying glycerine tear droppings, sprinkled with white powder......

The 'usual' depth of award-winning, tony moneymakers.....Now,
of course,,,,,,on wide screen with orchestra, back-up singers, lots of pancake and voice modulators......so says the Vox Oz Gods at the Control Panel, behind the Sets and Curtains.....twisting those dials and pulling those sliders. Hey, Joe.....who jizzed the 'Bed Set'?! Well, stop crying about it! You know you just want to 'be my baby', now......and, that ten second delay cost some valuable advertising time, ya' hear.... https://youtu.be/FN3VLv3ZSF0 [cut to Big Production Number}.....What!....Bonnie Raitt, singing her early '70's 'hit'!
