What stars do you think should never have been a star?

Same for books, bands, movies?

My first vote is for Shania Twain.

I liked their first album.  Now evidently they're getting ready to release their third.  ??

They have a version of "Nights in White Satin" on it.  I may have to stab my own eardrums.  What horror.

And thus, I share the horror with you.

The first concert that I ever went to without my parents was the Moody Blues.  My friend Becky won tickets on the radio.  She also won a red satin jacket (I know, red?  wtf?), which she gave to her little brother.  He didn't come to the concert with us.

It was also the first time I ever went to Baltimore at night.  Really scary place to little pre-teens Becky and me.  I think combined, soaking wet, we may have weighed in at a grand total of 100 pounds.

p.s.  I just saw Becky at my highschool reunion.  She's still really, really skinny.  Also, she lost on Jeopardy.

You know, I can't really begrudge a star, a band or whatever its success but I can begrudge the fans for being easily entertained or taking something too seriously.
