Ballroom Stars Under Pressure
So I just died watching my recap of Dancing with the Stars the results show. In a somewhat humorous gimmick from the producers to generates laughs while highlighting the stress the stars are undergoing, they ask the stars to lip sync to a famous song.

A famous song by David Bowie.

And Queen.

Called "Under Pressure."

THIS IS THE CLIP: [link]

I seriously died two bars into the intro.

Unfortunately, due to what I believe are copyright laws and such, all music on the show is covered by the show's own band and singers, so unfortunately we do not get to experience Mya, Donny Osmond, Kelly Osbourne, or Joanna Krupa lip sync to the original vocals of Freddie Mercury or David Bowie (more the pity, IMO). But I'm still high on the fact that it's a song by David Bowie! And Queen! The humor factor may be magnified by the fact that three of the four celebrities are FEMALE, mouthing along to very obviously MALE VOCALS. Reminds me of the "Boys Keep Swinging" video.

Which just goes to prove that Bowie makes everything better :D

no problem! I mean... it's Jareth! with a Wonderland twist! I really agree, he'd make a wonderful Queen of Hearts. He's already a Drama Queen -- er, KING -- as it is!

Thanks for the watch, btw

Nostalgic for 80s fantasy films. When glitter was cheap, monsters were muppets, and Evil was sexy.

I mean the Drama Queen. To me she's more like Alice. I have a White Rabbit in my collection already.)

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.
why do people hate God? Because they know he is real, and they don't want to face it.

I know, Neverwhere is such a cute (and yet dark and twisted and vicious at the same time) story! I always wonder if Richard went back to not-existing, or he's a Missing Person now?

Thanks for the faves back!
