I absolutely hate items with miming. Even if they are not good singers, it is still better to do things live. I can understand Britney, as she had a lot to do, but these girls have been rehearsing for about six weeks and are preparing an act which will last for about 3 minutes.
They told me a couple of months ago that they would have an act for the concert. I was really happy as I usually have to organise the items myself. They told me that they had already started rehearsals. So I let them be, knowing that a lot of work and effort was being exhausted.
I always check the acts and timing before the event and sat in on one of their rehearsals. I left shortly after giving them much praise for their support. In reality I couldn't get out of there quickly enough and as I went downstairs I didn't know whether to laugh or cry so I did a little of each.
They are good to do it.
The miming is bad.
The content is ugly.
It will, however, go off pretty well as they are well-liked and popular girls and will be given great credit for their energy. So, I have to let them on stage.
To rest my case and defend my attitude I will give you a little hint as to why I used the above title.
They are dancing with canes and top hats - a good concept - but they are miming to Al Jolson singing Mammy!!! The sync is to be seen to be believed. A couple of lady bowlers dressed to the nines and when they open their mouths out comes the deep voice of Al Jolson. AND they are not doing it as a comedy and are quite excited about how well it is going.
