Tro-lo-lo-lo-lo... Russia Has Talent!
OK, I HAVE A NEW KICK—A NEW DRUG—AND I AM HOOKED. THE DRUG IS EDWARD HILL. I am a new fan. Hill even has a FB fan page here.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking maybe your favorite singer has been lip syncing too. Madonna? Pink? Ha! You REALLY THINK that Carrie Underwood or Susan Boyle actually SING their own songs? Waaa-haa-haa! Edward Hill knew years ago that making the effort to actually really sing was a huge waste of time and energy. Take a look at this and you’ll be a fan too. You’ll be slipping to YouTube during the workday, staying up late for another hit.
Once the Edward Hill drug is in your veins, you’ll want more. You know you will.
Gosh, I wonder if he's single and available? Imagine having a songbird like that around full time.
ReplyDeleteI think I can understand why - in Russia - in the 70's - this guy would be popular.
ReplyDeleteHowever, like Christine H said, my first thought was - imagine living with him ! :)
His name is Edward Khil.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing i thought, was "dude, it's impossible to sing while smiling like a rapist." But still, it makes you think, was american 70's entertainment any less weird? Lawrence Welk may never have sip synced, but today it looks super cheesey and brings one to tears of laughter
ReplyDeleteI've been addicted from the first moment I heard those cloying strains and yeh yeh yehs. I'm guessing from the up-ended bed frames used for the set and the approximately 10 feet he had to pace that this was CCCP-TV's Lawrence Welk Show on a Soviet shoe string budget.
