This Is What Could Have Happened At The Oscars If Burlesque Hadn’t Been A Horrible Movie

In a perfect world, Lindsay Lohan would actually act in movies, Justin Bieber would spend his days discussing topical issues and politics, and Burlesque would be a film remotely worthy of an Oscar nomination.  Aside from the obvious benefits of such a world (Lindsay’s Linda Lovelace biopic would have been so intense), there’s a specific, special one that we’re going to talk about today, and that benefit is the audio clip above.

If you’re listening to the clip and having trouble figuring out its contents, let me help you out:  it’s James Franco rehearsing a Cher song. It’s beautiful James Franco trying to nail that horrible Cher song from Burlesque so he could perform it at the Oscars in full Cher regalia.  That is a treat that we were going to be given this Sunday, but not anymore.  Since the shitty Cher movie didn’t receive any nominations, the number was cut, as were my hopes and dreams.

What do you guys think about James’ performance?  We’re being denied a true gem in music history, right?

  • Hmm…I don’t know if this article is supposed to be funny? It’s hilarious because the movie was very entertaining & the soundtrack is fabulous! Just ask any “regular” fan who saw it–many of us several times!
