Next up in my DVR queue: Mr M's second guest appearance on daytime tv today: Strahan and Sara.
Show open: The promise of Mr M singing some of his hits.
But we have a lot of show to get through first, so thank god for FF.....
someone is getting a tattoo live on tv. Up next: Tips for getting a tattoo....nope, nope nope. hard pass.
FF.......Sara of "Strahan and Sara" just this minute returned from maternity leave. I wonder if she came back to see Barry Manilow? If so, I feel you, girl. Personally I'd get up from the table TWO SECONDS AFTER delivering the placenta if I was going to meet Mr M......
....now that would be a memorable 'platinum'....."MR M, so thrilled to meet you. Please accept this placenta as a token of thanks for all of the years of beautiful music you've given to me"
Anywaaaaay....
FF......Barry Manilow already! Yes! same black shirt, different jacket, subtle gray plaid. Nice. So nice to see Mr M is the centerpiece of this show and not an add-on like GMA.
MR M making the jokes: his first album was in 1821, CIBM.
I note he is not in as good voice as earlier today. Probs been giving tons of interviews. OR day drinking. Either way, no judgement.
Retelling story of writing CIBM after waking from a dream. I love that story.
I'm sorry to tell you Mr M does not seem to be in good voice. He sounds a little hoarse. Dude!
Struggling a bit with the notes in 'One Voice'.
Making the "Super mega star sex god joke" and it's nice to see Mr M laugh at himself. In my experience, the nicest people can laugh at themselves. He has a lovely, genuine smile. He gets it. The whole fanilow thing. He gets us.
Introducing the commercial medley: Bandaid, State Farm.
Next up IWTS. He says he might forget the words because he doesn't sing it that often....???
Mr M's face looks great. Wrinkle-free, yes, but he looks really good. Fresh and rested.
The hosts are showing off fake Barry Manilow tattoos, which, cute.
Commercial break and next up: more Barry!
Very brief Broadway plug. And then we're into the medley!
Miracle, Bandstand, Looks like we made it, WINE, This One's For You, CSWY, Copa.
Commercial break and back to the chick getting a tattoo.
FF......show hosts plugging random products - mosquito repellent, grill cleaner, light bulbs.....? Everybody in the audience is getting free light bulbs and, seriously, they are more excited about this than hearing Mr Barry Manilow perform. Those must be some fucking awesome light bulbs is all I can say.
I think we may be done with MR M......yup, show is ending.
The plug for the Broadway show was way low key. Which surprised me as I thought that was the purpose of the daytime tv appearances today.
Anyway, always great to see Mr M. I don't plan to travel to NYC but I hope to see him again, perhaps Florida, perhaps closer to home.
For those seeing Mr M in NYC, please post about your experience.
Best,
Annie
