That's So Entertaining

For a long time on American Idol, Simon Cowell would negatively comment on a contestant's performance by saying "you belong on a cruise ship".  That comparison has long been my belief as well; however, this cruise gave me a couple of pleasant surprises in addition to what I was expecting.

Poolside Trio, Titanium, added a Caribbean flavor to all the songs they performed and the lead singer sounded just like Wyclef Jean.  They were perfect background music while laying poolside or grabbing a bite from the deck barbeque.

Comedian Noodles Levinstein who has been around for a while gave a pretty polished performance that wasn't laced with a bunch of stale jokes.  Sure there were the usual cruise suspects:  jokes about people eating, jokes about cabin size, etc.  But he gave a spin to the jokes making them seem fresh and new.

Acapella group, The Cat's Pajamas , were more than just good singers.  The lead of the group has a comedic bent and made it the best show to see on the entire cruise.

Hyponotist, Terrance b, did the usual shtick.  I can't say much about his show as I was the first participant selected from the crowd to come up on stage and be hypnotized so I don't know what the show looked like to the audience.  As for me, I had to sit there and pretend to be "under a spell" for the entire hour which was mildly exhausting and gave me an added appreciation for the hard working actors and actresses.  As for whether or not I was hypnotized...who knows?

I missed all of the entertainment I wanted to see.... Adult Quest, Newlywed Game, Friendly Feud..... damn casino made me miss everything!! LOL
