2011 Charlie’s Angels TV Show Reboot Is Not As Good As The Original Series

Another ABC Reboot Goes Wrong

Charlie's Angels (2011)

The original "Charlie's Angels" television series, produced by Aaron Spelling, was a big hit in the 1970s and 1980s. The show was rebooted this month for ABC and not very well. It is not as good as the original. The Judiciary Report does not think Spelling would have liked the new treatment.

The movie series done several years ago, was not that great either, but the new television series is somewhat cheesy. This maybe due to ABC and NBC struggling with making reboots. The new "Wonder Woman" series that was made, but not aired, was pretty corny, ruining a former hit concept.

Hollywood has been going into overdrive with reboot after reboot and many of them simply are not good. To do that is to damage the legacy of the original product and sometimes upsetting the public in the process, as revealed by feedback posts on various websites.

Megan Fox Wants To Play "Carrie" But Didn't She Already...

Megan Fox

This week, fired "Transformers" actress, Megan Fox, expressed an interest in playing the lead role in a newly announced remake of the grotesque, bloody film "Carrie." However, didn't you do that already. In 2009, the Judiciary Report stated, "Jennifer’s Body" is a big rip off of "Carrie" ("Jennifer's Body" Is A "Carrie" Reboot). The Judiciary Report also predicted "Jennifer's Body" would flop and months later it did (Megan Fox’s Macabre Movie Bombs). Not to mention, the screenwriter, Diablo Cody, later admitted being a big fan of the film that initiated Fox’s career slide.

Lindsay Lohan

Hollywood troublemaker Lindsay Lohan is also pursuing the lead role in the remake. Could it be because she is actually crazy like "Carrie." My bad, "Carrie" was crazy, but she was also sober. While most 24-year-old actresses can convincingly play teens on film, Lohan looks twice her age, so how would she pull that off.

Singer, Bret Michaels, has denied scandalous reports, which labeled him a homewrecker having an affair with Tish Cyrus, the mother of pop singer and actress, Miley Cyrus. His representatives state the story is not true and they simply became good friends, after Miley remade his hit 1980s hit "Every Rose Has It's Thorn."

Tish Cyrus, mother of four, is in the midst of a sad divorce from country music singer, Billy Ray Cyrus, famous for his hit "Achy Breaky Heart." The couple have not gone public with the reason for their split. Hopefully, they will call the divorce off.

Mariah Carey Massacred Foreigner Song

"I Wanna Know What Love Is" Destroyed

Mariah Carey

Crazy, psych ward graduate, Mariah Carey, did an awful remake of the 1984 gospel-styled, Foreigner classic "I Wanna Know What Love Is." Carey deliberately leaked the remake to the internet yesterday and it is awful. I knew she would destroy and ruin the song.

Mick Jones, the British lead singer of Foreigner, who coincidentally wrote the tune, did it a million times better. When one writes such an instant classic, it is best to deny remake requests. Right now, I'm trying to forget Carey's awful rendition, lest it ruin my memory of the song.

Carey's deteriorating voice is on dull display, showcasing the fall from the heights of pop stardom, it once occupied. Carey's voice, much like at Michael Jackson's memorial last month, is audibly cracking, whimpering and wobbling.

She had to apologize to audiences the next day, blaming her terrible performance on being emotional over Jackson's death. What's she going to blame it on this time - the death of the Foreigner classic she killed. She is to this song what Dr. Conrad Murray is to Michael Jackson - musical Propofol.

The 1998 remake of "I Wanna Know What Love Is" by Carey's then Sony labelmate, Tina Arena, is better than this version, though still not as good as the original.

If one is going to do a remake, one should ensure it is as good as or better than the original. Turning in sub-par remakes only angers audiences. If you are not going to bring something new to the table, other than your over-inflated ego, don't bother showing up.

How is it Sony's Whitney Houston smoked enough drugs to clear poppy fields in the Middle East, yet still sounds better than Carey, even with weak songs and few of which are unoriginal and devalued (i.e. Houston's new song "Salute").

What happened to Carey's voice. Something went haywire with it in the mid 90's and it never came back. It appears to be a natural occurrence, but one that transpired decades earlier than normal for a singer, if at all.

Mariah Carey Gets Desperate

Mariah Carey

Mariah “Karaoke” Carey, reeling from the failure of her current Eminem diss single “Obsessed” which was the lead off to her forthcoming album due in September, is going to enrage classic rock fans everywhere, by remaking the 1980’s Foreigner tune “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” I was listening to that song just the other day.

That tune is a classic, but watch Carey butcher and ruin it, with her now decimated, irritating voice, much like she did in the terrible remake of the Phil Collins mega-hit “Against All Odds.”

It’s a sad day when a man with less octaves than you allegedly have, sings his song a million times better than you.

It will serve as further proof Carey is not creative and relies on taking other people’s music or making sub par remakes of songs that were already huge hits, in bids at stopping her career from dying.

Side Bar: the tracks “Angels Cry” and “It’s A Wrap” are not Carey’s, though they’ve illegally ended up on her forthcoming CD. God doesn’t like ugly, Mariah and will not bless you for it.

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again Pt 2

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again

Mariah Carey bets on nostalgia, covering Foreigner

August 18, 2009 | 12:40 pm - Perhaps realizing that the focus should be less on Mariah Carey's feud with Eminem and a bit more on the pop diva, more hints were dropped today about the singer's upcoming "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel." The ad-supported album, which was originally set for Aug. 25, is now due to be released Sept. 29.

The second single from Carey's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will apparently be a cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" (perhaps tackling "Don't Stop Believing" would have been a too-obvious choice of pandering).

The news was first reported by Roger Friedman, and his article has since been posted on Carey's official website.

This isn't the first time Carey has covered an '80s ballad -- see her take on "I Still Believe" above. The latter gave Carey yet another top 10 hit, a status that has thus far eluded her "Obsessed."...

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again Pt 2

Mariah Carey

After the dismal showing of her lead off single, the Eminem mocking track "Obsessed" Mariah Carey has returned to the recording studio, with her tail between her legs. Carey was clearly knocked for six, after suffering a musical thrashing from her one time lover, Detroit rapper, Eminem.

She has pushed back her album's release date, which is a tell-tale sign of trouble. Labels usually push up album release dates when the lead single does well.

When the single is tanking, they push it back, delaying the inevitable defeat on the charts, by trying to rework the project and add new material.

Side Bar: I'm still wondering why crazy Mariah thought she could handle an musical onslaught by a viper-tongued rapper.

Mariah Carey returns to studio, delays album again

Thu Aug 13, 2009 5:11pm EDT - NEW YORK (Billboard) - Originally scheduled for an August 25th release date and then September 15th, Mariah Carey's upcoming 12th studio album, has been delayed yet again.

"Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will now arrive two weeks later on September 29th. A source at her Def Jam label said the singer needs to return to the studio to record additional songs.

Carey has also pulled out of a string of appearances surrounding the album's release, including "VH1 Storytellers," the "Today" Show concert series, the MTV Video Music Awards and her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

The album's first single, "Obsessed," reached No. 11 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart...
