This year, I’m thankful for my family, my friends, my health, and having a home.
I’m watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade today, and were there always this much musical numbers? It feels like this year there aren’t any floats, and it’s all just songs. I began watching this year’s at 10:30 because I overslept, but did they really have all the floats from 9 to 10:30?
And for the Pokemon float- why couldn’t they just stop at Pikachu? I used to be a Pokemon fan (And that’s where this username came from), but I stopped paying attention last year-ish. The new Pokemon look bad, in my opinion. But that’s nostalgia talking.
I agree completely. And what's sad is that some of these artists aren't even singing, but lip-synching. Sheesh, it's the Macy's Parade! At least open up that mouth and let it rip!
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoyed the things like the American Idiot musical, the Rockettes, the Spirit of America dance team. I definitely enjoyed those as well as the different Marching Bands, as they all put so much work into their routines. But people like Kanye West and as much as I admire Jessica Simpson, gee whiz, they don't do anything but stand there and pretend to sing (I know Kanye doesn't, but he's a douchebag anyway, going after Taylor Swift a SECOND time). But other than those couple of things, I thought the Parade was nice. I haven't watched it in a couple of years, so it was nice to watch it again!
Yeah. I'm bad at telling which singers sing and which singers don't, but I noticed some today. The tween boy band Big Time Rush (At the Hess Truck Float) was definitely lip synching, and Jessica Simpson was, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the marching bands and dance routines, too. It's cool to see how much they practiced. The 'I Gotta Feeling' cover was nice.
