Did anybody notice in the Afrodisiacs episode HOW SHORT the songs were: I'm serious Willis & his band was singing "Since I Met You Nothing's Gonna Slow Me Down? or whatever/lasted 30 seconds!

Kimberly steps up to sing & her solo was short & to give you an idea why maybe Afro Disiacs didn't go up the charts here's their rendition of Ebony & Ivory (I think it was lip synched BTW)

Ebony Ivory
Lived together in perfect harmony
Side by Side on Piano Keyboard Oh Lord Why Don't We

We all know that people are the same wherever you go

And there's good & bad in everyone

We learn to live
We learn to give each other what we need to survive together alive

Ebony Ivory Living in Perfect Harmony

Congratuations AfroDisiacs you've just set the record for shortest song sung!

Eab Eab Eab Eab That's all folks.

Janet's 'The Magic is Working" number was decent though as was her Ebony Clip! Amen.

Will Latoya Jackson rise again?

I'm now watching the Afrodisiacs episode & just for fun I listened to the songs & timed them with my Timex. Here it is!

Charlene (Janet Jackson) sings The Magic is Working: 55 seconds

Afrodisiacs w/Willis & his out of tune voice singing Since I Met You Love Has Got Me Dancing: 1:00 down to the second!

Monday Blues on Tuesday sung by Kimberly: 1:10

Ebony & Ivory: Kimberly, Willis, & Charlene: 54 seconds including the instrumentals!!!

So the longest song lasted 1 minute 10 seconds! This indeed is UnReality

Remember this is only a 30 minute tv show. They don't have time to sing a real 3 or 4 minute song. Besides, I'm kinda glad Willis's solo was only a minute. If ya know what I mean!

The thing is it just looks tacky for someone to sing & it only lasts a minute. They could do a couple of 2 minute songs & it'd look better. Amen &

Amen.
