No, I didn't hear any names announced. Did I miss it?

Other than being kin to Whitney, I'm not sure I know who she is...

I kinda liked Cameo's take on 1985...I guess cause I'm a Gen X-er and can relate to that song.

Wang Chung doing Nelly was odd.

And where can I get one of those lovely cod pieces? My wife and I could use some excitement.

of course, I'll need a bigger one...

- Nick

Pepeketua, Thelma Houston did the 80's anthem Don't Leave Me This Way. You'll recognize it when you hear it.

Next week's performers (per NBC.com)

Baha Men - "Who Let the Dogs Out"
Glass Tiger - "Don't Forget Me..."
Greg Kihn - "The Breakup Song"
Thelma Houston - "Don't Leave Me This Way"
and one performer TBA

I like to think I'm musically rounded... but I have never heard of Glass Tiger or Greg Kihn (or their songs)...

I know that song, Bonza! But the version I'm familiar with was by The Communards. Still, that gives me frame of reference. Thanks, bunches!

Greg Kihn Band did "Jeopardy" ("our love's in jeopardy! baby! oooo-oo-oo-oo!"), I believe. Bryan Adams did a backing vocal on the Glass Tiger song, if that helps at all.

What? Glass Tiger was HUGE in the 80's!

Pepe, got it right. Greg Kihn only had a couple of hits and Bryan Adams did sing back on the "Don't Forget Me..."

Thelma Houston was popular in the 70's. "Don't Leave Me This Way" is a disco classic, if I'm not mistaken. Weird including her considering everyone else had experienced fame in the 80's-90's.

On another note:

Call me nosey, but I would love to know what many of these people are doing to pay their bills. I'm sure Sophie B. Hawkins didn't make enough money in the 90's to support herself while she paints and rides her bike around Venice. What kind of job does she have?

Same thing with Howard Jones. How does he support his family? Do the royalty checks bring in enough money?

If anyone here uses an iPod and/or iTunes, you can sample Greg Kihn songs at the iTunes Music Store. I listened to a bit of "The Breakup Song" ("they don't make 'em like that anymore-or-or...")

(They did not have any Glass Tiger but Pepeketua_sam did such a good job with phonics, I got it!)

I likeded Glass Tiger! (Course I liked Bryan Adams.) I don't remember Kihn or Houston, but I don't necessarily recognize a group or a song by name.

Thanks, Producerchic!

Scorp, according to HoJo's website, he's touring this year, but he's also been selling stuff on eBay. I'd tell you more, but the site is Flash-heavy, and I'm on dial-up.

Thanks Pepe!

LOL Here's we are trying to describe who Glass Tiger is/was and Nick was the only one who thought to cite a Web site! :-)

I liked Wang Chung, their Nelly cover was fun. Howard Jones is great. I knew Irene would win and she was good, I just preferred Wang Jones.

It was soo good to see Howard Jones again! I thought he should have won. Irene Cara got the audience going but it was a bit sneaky promoting her new band!

I haven't heard of any of next week's bands, although the songs sound familiar. Yeah, Pepe, I only know the Communards version of "Don't Leave Me This Way", the times I've got up off my seat to dance to that at parties!

You can say that again! I thought it was so cheesy and lame.

I'm sure many of the other musicians have new bands. You didn't see anyone else being allowed to veer off from the premise of the show. Why did she get to?

And another thing Scorpiomom, I think it was cheating to have the three back-up singers for Irene.
I loved, loved, loved Wang Chung doing Nelly.
But was hoping for a Howard Jones win .
