#1 Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Threat or Menace.
Again, "The View" is one of the reasons I appreciate that I've got the day job...

#2 Now if only we can get that electric duck blower Kenny G. to do the same thing, it will be a perfect day ( everything he plays sounds like the AFLAC duck going thru a shredder)

#3 electric duck blower Kenny G

Priceless, USN, Ret.! In reality, Kenny has a superb lip but his choice of material amounts to nothing better than elevator music. Now that he is so "successful", neither does Kenny have the excuse of acquiescing to his producer's guidance in terms of track selections. Essentially, he is the Thomas Kinkade of music. SSDD, repeat ad nauseam.

If this musical ~~tripe volcano~~ schmaltz factory ever wants a shred of musical respect, he'd better cough up some ragtime, Dixie, be-bop and real jazz. He has the ability but, quite cleary, not the brains. Much like ~~Whitney~~ Witless Houston, Kenny G. is a phenomenal waste of ~~skin~~ talent.

As to Manilow, only the cultural nadir known as disco ever could have made us sink so low that anyone might possibly look up to him.

#5 USN Ret., that's perhaps the best description yet I've read of Kenny G. I'm LMAO over here!

My sentiments exactly, Darth, but maybe I've gotten him confused with some whining, voiceless "country and western" singer.

#7 OK OP, now you have crossed the line; don't ever confuse Barry with C& W; he has never had to sing about his best friend's girl losing her job so he looses his pick up, and the dog......

#9 The View should honor Manilow's wishes and remove Hasselbeck for one episode - and replace her with Ann Coulter.

#11 Barry's not washed up - many Amers are still waiting for more songs from him. His music are mood-setting and good for when you want your babe close to you.
