Elisa Jordana REJECTED by Tommy Mottola!

[Teeney]

You summed it up perfectly in the bold stuff, although I think you're being a bit too generous. I've heard people at karaoke nights sing better than her.

She actually can't carry a tune; that was a rather large part of the problem.

And her "personality" was even less in tune.

She'll never in a thousand years ask herself this very, very basic question: for why would a music industry machine get behind me?!?

Benjy doesn't want to stop blowing the smoke up her ass or financing her retarded dreams because he knows the pussy will dry up, but something's got to give.

In truth, it already "gave" on Wednesday.

I like how Benjy can't act normal in any other circumstance except as a boyfriend. Then the schtick went right out the window, with the blocking the cameras, professing his love for her, etc. In every other situation he plays dumb and creepy and retarded, but that he knows how to do.

And she still blamed him!

And let's talk about the "comedy" aspect of things. They live in the mecca of comedy clubs, and they can't grind out a decent, regular club gig somewhere?

The world is starving for comedic talent, they're right in the middle of the action, yet they're still failing?!?

What's that say?

Yes! she thinks they can be the next Sonny and Cher, Desi and Lucy. She is a tad delusional. Let's even take the talent or no talent subject off the table for a moment, The bigger issue is that they do not have likable personalities. She comes off overbearing and a bit entitled, Benji creepy mixed in with a little desperation. I know I am in the minority here, but I feel bad for Benji. He can see the writing on the wall in both his professional life as well as personal.

It was particularly galling when she said "I guarantee you, if I stepped into your office, you've never seen an act like mine before, ever." Then she said she and Benjy sang together and did comedy. So apparently she's never heard of Sonny & Cher?

She actually mentioned Sonny and Cher (along with Lucy & Desi). So, she is funny.......

She reminds me of that one girl in Coming to America where Hakim and Semi are in a bar listening to a montage of conversations from different chicks, and all one chick does is talk nonstop "I want to sing, and I want to sing in my own band, and do videos, and direct my own videos, and produce my own videos, but I'm also an actress so I want to have my own movies, and star in my own movies, and do my own dancing, design my own dancing, and I also wanna do comedy cause people tell me I'm really funny......"


Aside from all the other stuff, the thing that stands out to me is that I can't really tell who she is or what she's trying to do. She doesn't seem to have any direction or preference in what she's doing, and I think that's one of the things Tommy was talking about. Are you a real singer/songwriter who wants to be taken seriously, are you trying to put out a superficial disco/hip hop thing, are you doing musical comedy? That's something that won her no points with Tommy - you need to know who you are, what you wanna do and be committed and passionate about it. She basically went in and said, "uh, I like really really want to be famous and get lots of attention, will any of this stuff work?"

I believe you've got it exactly correct!

What's funny is that her complete failure on Wednesday was actually a protective measure; if she got even a whiff of fame it would completely annihilate her.

It would be like someone who just totaled their Schwinn wanting a 1200cc Harley.

I'm just wondering how someone could be so untalented while being unemployed. She's got oceans of time to learn to do something.

Anything.

Thank you Ralph, for referencing her "bad songs and nasally voice".

Not a Ralph fan, but he is one of the few that will call people out on their shit...

Im still not a hundred percent sure that the creepy dumb retarded bit is actually playing...

It was a disgrace to compare themselves to lucy and desi, cause l and d had something that b and e will never never have, legitimate, true, real, proven talent!

Plus l and d were a real, legit couple, the only thing i can say about this relationship is that b and e are a real, legitimate couple of fucking idiots. Nothing but a usery fest there .

If it was FOR REAL = she got schooled, and thank god she did.

If it was a "bit" = it sucked, and they BOTH got schooled, and thank god they did.

If they did it to make us all cringe and get douchechills.... They succeeded!!!
