There were three specials last night. I started with Dick Clarke's Rockin' Eve on ABC. Ryan Seacrest is far too enamored with the sound of his own voice. Not sure who the female co-host was, but her loud, forced, hyperactive attempt at being funny was tiresome. The first group I saw was Journey singing two of their very well-known songs. However, the front man was awful. It was more like shrieking than singing. So, I switched to NBC which had a host I've never heard of and performers unknown to me. Believe it or not, the Nashville special on CBS was what I wound up watching. They had the least annoying hosts and performers that I actually recognized and liked. I'll take a bunch of denim-wearing guys in cowboy hats over some dude in what looked to be a tin foil outfit any day of the week. What does it say when a city girl like me spends New Year's Eve watching country singers? less
