Never will I say an unkind word about Foster’s Home again…or at least, I will try not to. I’m so proud of them and of Rick!
Here’s a question: if you’re going to lipsync, and it’s obvious you’re lipsyncing, and everyone knows you’re lipsyncing, why bother with the mic? This isn’t just a question for Rick but for most of these parade float “singers”.
What a scoop, Liz Shannon Miller!!!
