Crosby Loggins on new reality/talent show

I just read a couple of articles on the web about this being a horrible idea.  This is one of them.

Personally, I don't care.  I'm want to check it out to see if talent really is in the DNA.  Plus, most of us already know how good Crosby Loggins is but I think it will be interesting to see how well he performs in competition and how good the kids of the other famous people are.   It should be interesting.

I got this e-mail this morning from Crosby Loggins.  I think it would be nice to show Crosby some support.

"Hey Everybody,

I've got some big news!!  Please take a moment to read this whole note, it's got some really important information in it...

As many of you already know, I was recently selected to participate in MTV's newest reality music competition, "Rock The Cradle".  The show airs LIVE NEXT THURSDAY, APRIL 3 @ 10PM (EST), and will feature the talented offspring of music industry stars facing off each week by performing live in front of a studio audience.

The show is VOTING BASED, and there is an ELIMINATION EVERY WEEK! 

Needless to say, the stakes are higher than ever.  But we can win!!

I feel its worth saying that my decision to participate in this show was not an easy one.  I have spent 7 very hard working years in direct pursuit of my career, putting a tremendous amount of energy into stepping out from behind my father's shadow.  I take great pride in the fact that every aspect of my career, from my management to my band to my record deal, has developed organically and as a result of my own hard work.  But the fact remains that I am Kenny Loggins' son, and that's not ever going to change.

This show is a huge opportunity for me to fully embrace that reality and move past it into my own career.

SO LETS SPREAD THE WORD!! 

Here are some ways we can work together to win:

    - WATCH MTV and VOTE NEXT THURSDAY, APR 3 at 10e/9c (online or by text message - stay tuned for voting details).

    - Stay informed!  Encourage others to go to <http://www.crosbyloggins.com> and JOIN MY MAILING LIST to receive more information and voting details.  (Even if you think you're already on the list, join it again.  We've updated some things and you won't receive multiple emails).

    - Visit my MYSPACE page <http://www.myspace.com/crosbyloggins> and paste the "Digital Stickers" into your own myspace pages to help spread the word.  Tell your friends to do the same!

    - Forward this LETTER on to your own mailing lists, and post it in your blogs, bulletins and personal web pages.

    - Tell everyone you know to VOTE next Thursday, and share these tools to help spread the word!

We can work together to bring real music to the forefront once again!  Lets take this thing by storm!

Thank you so much guys.

Very Sincerely,
Crosby Loggins

Well this is what it's gonna take for me to watch a reality TV show. Crosby has talent, we already know that, I'm sure he really did struggle with the idea to join in. Win, loose, or draw he's AOK in my book. Just for the record I think reality TV shows are the bottom feeders of network programming, with Idol leading the charge. They fall into the same category as wrestling and believing anything printed in a tabloid. The sad thing is people watch and read this crap in the millions, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!!!!!

                                                                                                    Sheeeeeeeeeeeeez,

I got sucked into Idol a few years ago, because my wife and both my daughters love the show and commandeered the main TV. I actually enjoy the early rounds most...those are some of the funniest moments I've seen on TV.
But even if they're way outside my musical tastes, there are usually a couple of people with some level of talent.
Unfortunately (IMO), the show departs from a singing competition and becomes nothing more than a popularity contest as soon as the public starts voting.

I'll probably tune in to see what Rock the Cradle is all about. I'll cheer for Crosby, because he's got talent and he's a genuinely nice guy.

1.  Crosby Loggins is a very talented musician who deserves my attention
2.  He's a sweet, gracious, down-to-earth, funny guy who was REALLY nice to both me and  my hubby
3.  He's family, right?
4.  Although I find MUCH of what is on TV nowadays to be sorely lacking (in many respects), I have been known to tune in occasionally to SOME reality shows.
5.  Because of the aforementioned reasons 1-4, I WILL be watching and casting my vote. 

By the way, before posting, I scrolled back up to the top of the thread to refresh my memory.  I was surprised to see that the linked article came from....."REALITY TV MAGAZINE" - WHAT??  We need a whole magazine???  Jeeza Louisa!!!!

......then, I clicked on the link to see who else would be in the competion with Crosby.  On the right side of the page is an Index of other reality shows.......hmmmm.......it looked a little long to me - so, I started counting.  I HAD to stop counting at about 100 - "Nanny 911" was staring back at me, while, sadly, my mouse had just rolled over and died!  I had to perform CPR - I took my poor mousie off that nasty page and back to the safety of the forum and, I'm glad to report, it looks like she will make a full recovery.  WHEW!!!!

Hey!  I think there's a reality show in here somewhere.....you know, "Mouse In The House".....the opening episode telling the tale (no pun intended) of the virtuous mousie who spent her days lolling about on the friendly JB forum......only to naively stumble one day, onto to evil reality show page and have her innocence sullied AND the very LIFE sucked out of her by the NEVER-ENDING LIST OF SHOWS.......was it a plan - perpetrated by the malicious, malignant, malevolent mice from the other side of the island???!!!!  Thank goodness that Mighty Mouse's nephew, the paramedic, happened upon the scene and was able to breathe life back into the fair rodent..........tune in next week........
