You know what? I enjoyed seeing Gladys Knight every week. I think she is classy and wonderful and I wish it would not have taken something like DWTS to get her back in the spotlight where she belongs. That is one thing I like about DWTS is they tend to find a couple of people to highlight that people may have forgotten about or don't know about and Gladys Knight is class. The great news for Gladys is that she lost 60 pounds doing the show. That is amazing. That is seriously losing a Bieber. Just like that. Gone.
Loved her too, but she was the one that should've gone next.
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome song!
ReplyDeleteI love how the Pips looks so horrifically dated, but someone could wear Gladys's whole look.
I love Gladys Knight. She was the best female singer Motown had. Here's a link to her doing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" on Soul Train.

Even better than Marvin's!
she looked fabulous this week! i heard a little taped comment she made before yesterday's show, and she sounds as sassy as a 20-something. it seems like they are all having a great time (except melissa ans her partner). is that possible?
ReplyDeleteshe is awesome and talented and beautiful. I hope her career has a resurgence and she can really sing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Gladys bet on how she'd finish
ReplyDeleteLame headline. Whatever happened to spoiler alerts.
ReplyDeleteNell Carter did a network comedy special once and during the (staged) pre-production meeting, producers asked who she wanted as a musical guest. She said, "The Pips." "Okay, Gladys Knight and the Pips," and she said, "I didn't say anything about Gladys Knight," and, sure enough, just the Pips showed up to do Midnight Train to Georgia sans Gladys Knight. Really funny!
ReplyDeleteMe, I'm not watching this season, what's the story with Melissa and Maks?
ReplyDeleteShe lost 60 lb in 4 weeks? whoa.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess she's going home. I wonder if she took the midnight train....
ReplyDeleteSorry for that. I suck. Anyway, 60 pounds! Wow! Good for her.
Gladys didn't always hit all the choreographed steps, but the woman has got some moves! She was just a joy to watch.
ReplyDeletecalifblondy, oh my, my, my. maks talks to her like she is a naughty dog. they showed an ugly clip this week and i thought he sounded like a spoiled brat. enty has made comments that he would like to go home because he doesn't like her (hard to deal with?), and he makes that VERY obvious.
ReplyDeleteThat video is glorious. Remember when singers could really sing, and they sang LIVE? Her voice is just amazing in this performance.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Pips when I was little. I would dance along with them whenever they were on any of the interminable variety shows of the 70's.
I wish I could lose a Bieber. Permanently.
