Charty Chart Chat: Shania Gets Me Down

Oh Shania Twain, how I so want to like you! Just when I thought I could defend your integrity you go and pull another stunt like you did last Sunday to sell more albums. Back in November when the pride of Timmins, ON (or is that Lausanne, CH?) performed during the Canadian football championship, a.k.a. The Grey Cup, many folks complained that Ms. Twain was lip-syncing to her new hit, "I'm Gonna Getcha Good." So much so that when it came to the American football championship, a.k.a. The Super Bowl (sorry, Charlie they ain't no world championships), there was a hope to hear Shania would actually sing, just to spite her critics. I mean, c’mon, No Doubt's Gwen Stefani managed to raise her squeaky voice on both "I'm Just A Girl" and her duet with Sting on "Message In A Bottle."
Unfortunately for Shania there were a couple of clues to the canned Twain on "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" and "Up!", such as when she started to clap with her mic in hand, there was no added noise nor was the crowd's screaming at all audible, as it was during No Doubt's performance. All in all, along with that revealing cleavage and navel-exposing outfit, Ms. Twain has solidified her place as the world's most expensive lap-dancer (kudos to Steve Earle for that accurate, though sexist, observation). Best performance honours go to Sting for his stellar chops (and brilliant musical support by the No Doubt lads) on "Message In A Bottle," while a double yeeeecchh goes out to the appearance of a tired and untalented Jon Bon Jovi for his role in crowd dispersal after the game.
