Throwback Thursday - tossing it WAY back

 

I still get off on the occasional Throwback Thursday post to Facebook. I know the trend has faded quite a bit from its original hey day 4-5 years back in favor of new trends and lists. But being that I have always been a photo fanatic, I enjoy it as a time to go through years of pics and bring some of those personal "classics" into the digital age.

Some are meant to shame; usually myself. Others are a keepsake of a special moment. Some are meant to jolt a friend back as a conversation piece. I am never embarrassed to post something that is either unflattering or bordering on inappropriate... But we all have those 1 or 2 pictures that are our worst nightmare. The ones that we hope never surface from a yearbook or holiday card.

Somehow the Mind Circle has stumbled onto a few of these. I would have to assume that the scorned parties were not asked if they would choose to submit these garish images into cyber space. And yet - here they are. "You've never looked - Worse!"

Backstreet Boys Blow It!

I am quite sure that I posted a parody video a few years back by One Direction on Dancing with the Stars where their vocals were dubbed; in horrible fashion. Apparently this is a new form of  "shattery" called Shredding. An actual video clip is taken from a noted public performance and then someone dubs atrociously bad vocals on top of it.

These artists, and I call them that, are better at lip syncing than most of the singers themselves. By watching, you can't believe that the sound is not actually coming out of the vocal cords and into the microphone. They are absolutely hilarious. There are entire stations on YouTube devoted to this craze. Since today is a rainy, dreary day with a bit of time to kill - I have gone into the vortex of the web and this is what I've come up with again.

So without further adieu, here are the Backstreet Boys performing "live" on Oprah.

And if that wasn't good enough; how about the original studio recording of We Are the World? OUCH!
