Tonight we watched the season finale, desperately rooting for Tommy Jonnigan. I'm sure I didn't spell that correctly, but nobody ever said I was the guy's publicist. We sat through an hour of pure hell waiting for that final judging, fingers crossed.
Part of that pure hell involved a few minutes of Gloria Gaynor singing "I Will Survive."
She's the ultimate one-hit-wonder, I announced.
Still, how can you not love that single woman anthem? Here's how: she changed the lyrics a bit to add some "praise god" lines. Ick! I forget the actual lyrics, since I was too busy choking on my vomit, but it was basically, "yay Jesus."
I feel betrayed. My single woman anthem can now only be sung by Cake....or I'll just have to listen to Beyonce's "Put A Ring On It"...or whatever it's called.
*sigh*
oh, and spoiler alert, Tommy Jonnagin didn't even win. *double sigh*
The short end of it is this: if I'm going to see lyrics changed, I'm gonna watch this girl.

This is hilarious and offensive (of gloria, not you, obv). Gaynor, no need to bring Jesus into a perfectly good anthem. Now I will never listen to that song the same way again. Grrrr. Choking on vomit indeed.
OMG to the lyrics ! As for reality tv. Im not a big fan.. I have enough reality in my daily life. I want some old fashioned escape.
Damnit Jesus! Next thing you know he's going to be interjecting himself into Hey Ya! and Hot In Herrrre. The horror!
Rachel: thanks for reading! It saddened me to knock Gloria about like that, but I can't have anybody messing with my anthems!
Midwestern: I can totally understand the bad taste reality tv leaves behind....much more so than I could begin to describe why I like it. I WANT to not like it. Alas....somebody gets bitch-slapped, and I just gotta see.
Elly Lou: Jesus got no place in Hey Ya! I'm aghast at the thought!
