The Holograms' Dignity Remains Intact


The Admiral and I dig karaoke. For those of you that know us this is no surprise. We're not the best singers but we are no where near the worst. For the most part we can hold our own. Although we have some songs that we could call "fall backs" or "old standby's" we don't always sing the same ol' stuff. We tend to branch out and attempt songs that we've never tried but have always wanted to. I once went through the entire alphabet and picked out songs based on whatever the next letter was. I think it took me about 3 months to finish.

The folks over at Funny Or Die (a site I really love BTW) thought it would be a good idea to disquise Jewel and send her to a local Karaoke bar. The disquise was pretty good, and to FOD's credit she looks nothing like her normal everyday self. In fact she looks a little more like the chick from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Once at the bar she would be "convinced" to get up and sing a song or two. The key being that the songs were going to all be "Jewel" songs. It was a lame idea when Jessica morphed into Jem and it's not much better now. In fact I hearby declare this to be the lamest of the lame. It's impressive during Karaoke when a non-professional gets up and sings something really well.

It's not impressive when you get up and sing your own shit. No one is going to give Stephen Tyler extra credit for singing an Aerosmith song no matter how crazy his range is. Marshal Mathers gets zero kudos if he goes to his local pub and performs Lose Yourself. So, I'm sorry to inform you Jewel, but what you did was just STOOPID with a capital Dumb! You can see all about it in the below clip.
