My Top Five People of 2013

December 11, 2013

So Time Magazine announced today that Pope Francis is their choice for Person of the Year 2013.  He's a good choice he seems pretty with it, pretty keen on the world we live in, not the usual stuffed shirt that is so intense and afraid of the real lives people live.  It's time that the Catholic Church gets real and accepts all the people of the world and not just the one's that they think matter.  Maybe Francis is the catalyst for this to actually start happening and that's a good thing.  Plus he only has one kidney and that's a unique thing too.

Now for my choices for the Top 5 People of 2013

Number 5............... Carrie Underwood

All I can say is you go girl!  All this crabbing about her lack of acting chops in NBC's live presentation of "The Sound of Music'' has been ridiculous.  She's handled it quite well I think by merely stating that mean people need Jesus or something dang cute like that.  I for one think the naysayers need to step back and realize that this wasn't a remake of the 1965 movie but a new production of the 1959 stage musical.  Modern musical theatre coniseurs need to realize that in 1959 there were not the special effect laden productions like ''Wicked''  "Phantom'' ''The Lion King'' etc. etc. etc.  Back in the day it was simple a story with a wholesome angle, a bushel of easy to remember
songs and that was it throw in a Broadway star and you had a hit musical.  I give Ms. Underwood kudos for taking on the project and giving it her all.  NBC has already announced that they plan on another musical in 2014. May I suggest Justin Bieber in ''Oliver'' just saying.......!

Number 4................ Duck Dynasty

I really thought this show was a new version of the classic nighttime sudser from the 80's ''Dynasty''
so I tuned in expecting Joan Collins, Linda Evans, and Heather Locklear chewing up the scenery and scratching out each others eyes.  Boy was I wrong.  These people look like they grow the scenery and then eat it.  Anybody ever hear of a razor?  After 48 seconds I switched to Honey Boo Boo and never went back.  

Number 3............... Diver Tom Daley

Cute as a button British Diver.  Earns medal in last Olympics, comes out of the locker room as gay.  Wears a Speedo very well and is so easy on the eyes.  Enough said.

Number 2............. Miley Cyrus

The former Hannah Montana is now a bonafide pop culture icon.  I don't care what anybody says this girl can sing and sing very, very well.  She's a beautiful gal who has taken the world by storm in a whirlwind of sexually charged antics and performances to the constant outcry from her populace.  Bravo girl!  I think she knows what she's doing and twerking all the naysayers along the way.  Keep up the outlandish, outrageous, over the top domination of the entertainment world.  The next Lindsay
Lohan?   I highly doubt it Miss Miley seems way to smart for that.

Number 1................ The Cast of American Horror Story  Coven

The best ensemble on TV this season or any season past or present lead by three leading ladies with a Hollywood pedigree to die for.  There's a lot dying being done on the series but it never lasts very long

Jessica Lange
Kathy Bates
Angela Bassett

Looking forward to see who steps to the plate in 2014!
