Behind the Music That Sucks, Vol. 3 - Hairy Women of Rock!

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Behind the Music That Sucks is a series for anyone who finds the animation on South Park a little too sophisticated. It's one long series of putdowns and insults, in this case for a variety of women in popular music. The creators take photos of famous singers' faces--Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Melissa Etheridge, Barbra Streisand--and put them on rudimentary cartoon bodies, then capsulize their careers in rude and vulgar ways using jerky animation. The problem is that the jokes are crude, relying less on cleverness than simple shock value and inappropriateness. Streisand nose jokes? Wow, never heard those before. Melissa Etheridge lesbian humor? That's a stretch. Still, making Mariah Carey into an even more chipmunk-cheeked diva does cause a smile. But what, no Whitney Houston? Now that's a lack of imagination. --Marshall Fine
Description
The third volume of the parody series Behind the Music That Sucks focuses on the pop divas who have become staples of VH1. Hilarious cut-and-paste animation--Ã la South Park--adds to the fun, possibly offensive profiles that depict Ms. Streisand as a domineering ubershopper and Mariah Carey as (surprise!) shallow, with plenty more nasty things to say about the likes of Jewel, Shania Twain, Garbage, Christina Aguilera, and Fiona Apple.

Behind Music That Sucks, SUCKS!!!.......2001-05-30
So why not just "Let It Be"? It does not take talent to create and make money off of a DVD that uses the names of such icons as Streisand and Jewel and claims that their music "sucks". The folks who bring you this DVD are just trying to make a quick buck by trashing these talented women.
Is anybody really dumb enough to buy this junk? Why waste your hard earned money on an obvious scam?
I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I like Jewel and Streisand, so I guess I suck too!
