Free Music Review: Griffin Lost To Late George Carlin at Grammys--CD a Winner Nonetheless
Hit: 5 Stars
Kathy Griffin specifically released this album so as to win a Grammy award. She shamelessly pursued the award on her show MY LIFE ON THE D LIST. Every major contender she asked to vote for her asked who else was up and she replied, "George Carlin." The immediate response was , "Oh," and silence. George Carlin had just died plus he was a comic legend so Kathy couldn't have picked a worse year to go for a Grammy. I think though that this was more one of her zany comic schemes, pursuing a Grammy, than a real expectation of winning one. It worked brilliantly on her show, especially when she was asking the likes of Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin and Stevie Nicks for tips on winning it.
As for the material on this show itself, it involves mostly the celebrity people she typically "dishes" about as part of her shtick. I watched her date Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, on her show and on this disc she pretty well sums up that experience. Dating Steve Wozniak was a pretty hilarious experience. She captures his geekiness very well. Her recounting of taking him to the Emmys as her date is priceless.
Jerry Seinfeld helped her career greatly by putting her on his show in the 90s. When she sees him again, as she recounts here, he tries to do her another favor by pulling her over to meet and greet with Spielberg but this time Kathy doesn't want to go as she has taken on Spielberg already and they are NOT best buds.
Kathy has been banned from some talk shows and she has made that source material for her comedy. Thus, she recounts trifling with Oprah and Barbara Walters with glee. Kathy is deferential to no one and turns off her comedy for no one. So, of course, Oprah and Walters hate her and ban her. Kathy's takes on these two are priceless.
These are just some of the gems. There are more. Get great laughs with this CD.
Free Music Review: Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
Recorded at her sold-out St. Louis show at the Fabulous Fox Theater in February, this CD is made specifically made for the notion to help win Kathy Griffin a Grammy. Since her Emmy acceptance speech got the Catholic League and other religious organizations up in arms, it seems this may be the only way for Kathy to get an award.
This show delivers, and being someone who was there in that theater that amazing night and had seen her 2 other times previously, I can say that this is some great, funny material that will sure help deliver Kathy her award on a limited edition Mickey Mouse tin tray! A must0have for any stand-up comedy fan!
Free Music Review: Hollywood's dark shadow
Hit: 5 Stars
What makes this CD and anything by Kathy Griffin truly funny and right on the money is that she tells the truth. Celebrities want to portray themselves one way but Kathy has an eye for discerning the reality of who they are. We all know the truth somewhere about the people she talks about but maybe cannot find the words to articulate it. Kathy Griffin does this.
This CD is so funny I no longer have to do my crunches in the morning my stomach gets a workout from laughing so hard on my way to work.
My partner and I love you Kathy Griffin!!!

Free Music Review: Kathy for President
Hit: 5 Stars
Firstly, I am so excited to have tickets for her live show in November. I love Kathy's comedy. She is truly one of my top 5 people I would love to hang out with for a week or two. I feel a connection with her honesty, and sincerity about what she feels about certain events.
My love list;
Mom's, Dad's, Nana's, dogs, cats, humming birds, ducks, and all animals that walk, crawl, slither, or drag their butts around on this Earth.
Love and Peace to all who inherit this space called Earth, Donny
Free Music Review: Watch out Janet Reno!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a Member of the Kathy Griffin Cult. As a member I must tell you how FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY this Cd is! So this year when that "spoken word" catgory comes up, sorry Janet reno but kathy has this year in the Bag! Alot of this material if from early 2008 shows (For those that have never seen her life before, her shows are almost totally new material every few months)so chances are most of this material will not be heard again. So go on and get this cd, if you love Mrs K like the cult does you won't be sorry.
