I heard this in the shower this morning.

This guy is perfect for Vegas. Can't you imagine 50 showgirls all dressed up like crocodiles going, "Baa-ba-ba-bap-bap-ba-bah!" during "Crocodile Rock"

Since I live in vegas, I'll have no choice but to have to go see him ;-)

I actually can't wait to see this show....but still wish I had been a better piano player ;-)

Have you ever heard Dana Carvey's "Chopping Brocolli"?

I predict he is going to regret this decison. I have a feeling that the monotony will be the death of him. He will do it for a while, start making critical comments and then he will get himself fired.

He is so rich all ready, I can't believe the money is the issue. I think as these guys get older they realize their careers as singers are coming to an end. I saw Elton on the Ellen show last week and his voice is not holding up very well, although the acoustics are probabaly lousy in her studio. Most singers (except Mick Jagger) do lost their voice qualities in their fifties. Even Pavorotti sounded horrible on some tv show recently.
