I honestly don't know what to make of "Lord" Bill Ramsey's performance. I don't think he was tanking, but I was definitely among those who considered it to be "a little tank-y." And actually, I honestly don't know what the distinction is between the two. Maybe I'm splitting hairs. But I guess this was to be expected. Karaoke to the Death has roughly tripled in size since the last time he took the stage. And the level of competition has increased exponentially. Sports evolve, and records are made to be broken. I just hope he doesn't wait another seven years to grace us with his presence again. Bill may have been down this year, but I'm not counting him out.
Here's the problem. He didn't know the song at all. I mean he had at least heard Private Dancer. It was more like a performance art piece than a rendition of the song.
It's not so much that I think he was trying to be bad -- tanking in the purest sense -- but rather that he certainly wasn't trying to be good.
I dunno. Tough to vote for it in such a strong field at any rate.

Yeah, I tend to think this was a poor song choice. It was certainly better in theory than in practice. I still think he should have gone with this one.

Tanking. That's my verdict.

Wow. That's a bold statement. We'll consider the gauntlet thrown.
