I Need Therapy

Every so often I venture out of the rarefied (and comparatively safe) world of classical music to take in something more pop. But tonight I flipped to Bai Ling's rendition of "Like a Virgin" on VH1's program "But Can They Sing?" and I am left so traumatized that only months of the most punishing exposure to the most extreme work by Mahler and Wagner can possibly restore my equilibrium.

EXPLICIT WARNING: Bai Ling, a shameless (I settled on 'shameless' after a long debate between that and 'pathetic') self-promoter whose only real talent is being semi-clothed and whose biggest film credit (if you can call it that) to date is "My Baby's Daddy" (the film that no doubt left Michael Imperioli wishing he was indeed Christopher Moltisanti, the Sopranos mob soldier for whom whacking his agent would be a viable option, in real life), actually made the cut after the first round. I'm not sure what this proves-and don't really want to find out-but what you need to know is that she will apparently sing Blondie's "Call Me" on the next episode. Be very, very careful about casually flipping to VH1 in the next week or two.
