On my radar: the music scene

Oh lordy how it is hip to be square!

For only the second time in his career has Barry Manilow found himself in the hottest spot north of Havana, and no, that is not on American Idol! Mr. Manilow has nailed down the #1 album in the country! Straight from the stage of "Dancing with the Stars" to the top of the pops! Wonder what your folks were doing late last night? It wasn't yawning through the Grammy Awards; they were sneaking out and getting the latest "lp" by Bette Midler's original piano man! What's next, Rod Stewart singing the classics volume 5 to the number spot?

As for the Grammy's, is it redundant to say the princess has no clothes? Despite 8 nominations, Mimi walked with only 3.a far cry from what many were dubbing "the comeback night for Mariah." Is it safe to say the voters actually saw through this middling Mimi cd and overwhelming publicity frenzy and gave the kudos where proper kudo's were due? Maybe Mimi and the Grammy's just don't belong together.

Who knows, maybe next year's Grammy's will be the "comeback for the Copa!"
