Guys, we clearly need to have an intervention here. We know John Travolta, we know Olivia Newton-John, right? Grease, beloved classic, treasured stars of film and television, etc.
How on earth was this allowed to happen?
My goal in this little project was not to highlight terrible things. I promise. With that said, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why this should exist, and, more to the point, there is no reason why I should have to suffer alone. Let's count the ways in how this is bad:
1) Musical production value: it's Casio country music in a nutshell. That's not really a good thing anyway, but come on - you're John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. You've got some money here, right? Definitely enough to handle your passion project.
2) The dancing: oh dear god the dancing. I'm not so offended by the obviously-not-actors and their dancing - they know not what they got into. However, the "let's line dance on the runway" thing that persists throughout the video? Come on, guys. Come on.
3) The auto-tune: yes, I get auto-tune is a thing. But you either make it obvious in the T-Pain/Cher way, or you make it subtle like everywhere else. You don't play this middle ground where you'll toss it in when you need it and we'll pretend it never happened.
4) YES JOHN TRAVOLTA YOU ARE A PILOT WE GET IT THANK YOU.
I'm just so confused by this entire thing. I don't get it at all. I almost feel bad being negative about it because it's clearly a labor of love for charity gone terribly, horribly, indisputably wrong. So, so tragic.
Clearly this was release to prove that Travolta isn't gay.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was painful.
