Only on Soul Train...

Mr. Tivo decided to tape Soul Train at god knows what hour of the night last night. I always get a kick out of dance shows so I settled in this morning for some "observing". The fashions haven't changed - still a combo of sporty hip hop and hooch. Camera guys were all about T&A and one can always tell the new dancers from those that are already established on the show. I was really surprised by the musical and talent selections by the staff.

Only on Soul Train will you hear Kirk Franklin's Looking for You and that track Laffy Taffy in the same half hour. What a huge gap - gospel to crunk. You can see that the girls are nervous wondering if they should really dance like they normally do to some gospel... What was the music director thinking?

Then one of the special guests was Flipsyde which is rock ala Linkin' Park. ON SOUL TRAIN??? But the funniest part of the show (besides the famous line dance) was that one of the performing artists wanted to dance onstage during the opening segment. That poor floor director must have been losing his mind. He ain't no Rennie, that much is evident.
