Missy's Road To Stardom

[PushTheBuena]

Saw this for the first time today, I'm loving the way Missy just staaares at them nonchalantly whilst sucking voraciously on lollipops, looking very much like the pre-school bully who turned out to be a serial killer, and her entourage of mean mugged backing dancers (including, and I can't believe I noticed this, the 'evil' dancer from Honey) are great.

The contestants are mainly losers, except for the butch looking daughter of a crack addict who has a nice chilled attitude and a beautiful smokey voice. I loved Heather, the first to get kicked off, who looked like she should be on a no budget Nickoldeon kid sitcom as the dork best friend and rapped, with no irony, about being a pimp in the South. Missy's smackdown on her was a beautiful thing to behold.

Missy- "You a hip hop fan?"

Heather- "I've lurrrved it since I was fo'teen."

Missy- "Okay. You got any of Big Daddy Kane's records?"

Heather- "..............................

I wish."

Missy- "Salt N Pepa?"

Heather- "Hmmm (pretends to think) I don't think s-"

Missy- "What about Jay-Z?"

Heather- "Yes YES I love him."

Missy- "Spit a bar from his first album."

Heather- "................................................................................................................................................"

Missy- "Bye, Heather."

I fucking love Missy.

I have to see this. Missy is a fucking genius.

I've hunted the internet since it's premiere in the US and found nothing... and I presume it's now on in the UK on an obscure channel that I cannot get?

It's on Trouble. I saw a bit of this. I really quite enjoy watching battle-rapping. From what I saw, Missy don't do her own thang. Which is annoying, really.

Wow, what a Bitch - Missy, I salute you!

For a rumoured-rug-muncher meant to be thick with an 'f' I am tremendously impressed: I can just imagine Madge now screaming Spit a bar from Supernatural you LOSER to a wimpering anorexic queen crying their eyes out. Except I take it this show is exclusively Hip Hop orientated? If so why on earth would Madonna who - Vogue aside - cannot rap to save herself, take part?

I don't think Madonna's rapping is that bad. Her freestyling probably ain't so hot. Missy's always been funny:

Cop That Shit-
In one ear and right out the otha
(Ayo Missy, you ugly!)
Yeah, ya mother.

Well I think I worded my post wrongly, so I don't know if you were answering whether or not Madge can rap. But I have now ammended my post to mean what I was actually trying to ask: what has Madonna got to do with a seemingly Hip Hop based talent show?

Well, she should have something to do with this show! She should do a dancing one.
