Madonna & Lady Gaga play-fight on SNL
So many people thought I was full of crap when I thought Megan Fox did a half-decent job on Saturday Night Live’s season premiere. I stand by my opinion, though – especially after the second show, this time with Ryan Reynolds as guest star. He was so unfunny, he made Megan Fox look like Lucille Ball. Not even a “surprise” guest appearance by Ryan’s wife of one year Scarlett Johansson improved the show, and I’m a fan of hers.
If the giant sucking sound of Ryan’s comedic acting wasn’t bad enough, he (and Scarlett) got totally upstaged by She Who Lives To Upstage, Madonna. Madge brought her gristle to the “Deep House Dish” sketch, which is usually pretty fun. Kenan Thompson (“DJ Dynasty Handbag”) is the “host” of a crummy house music show, with Andy Samberg (T. Shane) playing his clueless sidekick. Kenan got to announce, “Performing together for the very first time, Lady Gaga and Madonna!” and the cameras went to Gaga and Madonna, both with their backs to the cameras, both clad in black underwear-type outfits, black boots, and very similar hairstyles. My first thought? Lady Gaga has a much cuter ass than Madonna.
When they turned around and did the “reveal” my second thought was “Madge will do anything to promote her greatest hits album.” Once they started dancing, it became really, really obvious that they hadn’t rehearsed the skit – either that, or they hadn’t rehearsed it enough. I think Madge missed like five cues in a row. They started play fighting, although Madonna really looked like she was trying to f-ck up Gaga’s weave. DJ Dynasty ordered Madge and Gaga to come sit down, and then he physically got in between them. Gaga and Madge tried to continue to play-fight, and once again Madge’s timing was totally off. DJ Dynasty ordered them to “kiss and make up” which they tried to do. DJ Dynasty got in there just before the lip-lock. Gaga and Madge then ended up groping Kenan, with Madge almost humping his leg. Andy Samberg piled on at the last minute. My last thought? Madge is going to break something if she keeps rough-housing with all of these youngsters.
Here’s the thing – it would have been really cool if everyone (cough Madge cough) had hit their marks. It would have been a really great moment for pop music. Instead, it just seemed kind of sad, in my opinion. Sigh. Sad day.
