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.

(This is being asked especially for those science professor types who cannot seem to envision realms of knowledge that are not immediately obvious or apparent to them.)
