"The Water Buffalo Song" Silly Song Review

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

As promised, I'm going to review all the Silly Songs from Veggietales.

Today, I'm going to review the first Silly Song that was ever made in the series. It's "The Water Buffalo Song."

Opening Title:
-Now, keep in mind, since this was in Veggietales' first episode, the quality of the animation and voice-acting are kind of a work-in-progress.

Beginning:
Larry: "The water buffalo song."
(music starts)

Larry: (singing) "Everybody's got a water buffalo..."
-Now, I'll admit, this song goes by really fast. In fact, this song does go by really fast, because...
Archibald: "Hold it! Hold it!"
-Our comedic foil, ladies and gentlemen!
Archibald: "You can't say that everyone's got a water buffalo, because no one does not have a water buffalo..."

-Basically, this has gone from a song to a debate.
-However, you can't help but laugh at Archibald's rambling.
Archibald: "And are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so! Stop being so silly!"
-And Archibald lost to the fan base... as proven in the "End of Silliness: More Silly Songs" video from Veggietales!

Ending:
Larry: (singing) "Everybody's got a baby kangaroo..."
-Okay. One more verse. That's fine-
Archibald: "AAAAAAAAAGH!" (as he charges Larry)
-Okay, what was that? Was Archibald trying to start a war there? But I still think that was funny!
-And for that matter, was this supposed to be a running gag; Archibald trying to stop Larry from having Silly Songs? I guess that was the norm for a few videos, but then the "End of Silliness: More Silly Songs" video cleared things up... but we'll get to that when we get to that in this blog.

And that was "The Water Buffalo Song." Well, since this was the first Silly Song in Veggietales history, I'll go a little easy on it.
Like I said before, something you should keep in mind that this Silly Song was Veggietales' first, so the animation and voice-acting were a work-in-progress. The song didn't have to be perfectly animated and voiced to have audiences drawn in. For what it is, it's still funny, and it's still a classic.

Reviewing Every Silly Song from "Veggietales"

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

I just got an idea on what to do for a next series of blogs.
-(Since season one of Rising Star is over...)

I'm going to explore all the Silly Songs that Veggietales has given us throughout the years! I'll start from episode one and then go from there. Each blog entry will be about a different silly song, where I'll praise or question what's on my mind when it comes to entertainment and consensus.
I've never done something like this before. So, this ought to be fun.

"Rising Star" Season Finale- Last Word on Show

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Now that season one of Rising Star is officially over... I now have nothing to watch on Sundays.

-Bummer.

So, what did I think of the show, as a whole?

Well, it has its ups and downs. Well, let's start with the downs.

1. More people should have gotten involved in the voting process. Here, on this show (unlike other singing competitions), we, the viewers, have the power to vote and to decide the fate of the contestants. WTH doesn't all of America take advantage of that?!

-It's like a professor giving away free donuts to a classroom of students on the first day of session, but the students hesitate on whether to get a donut or not... (True story, for me!)

2. The West Coast gets publicized as the part of America that gets the last-say... which makes the "viewers get to vote live" gimminck a little ironic.

3. I don't feel that this show was advertised enough to get people in. I mean, sure, the show has an interactive app that people can use when the show is live on air. And sure, it had some of the biggest musical icons: Josh Groban, Brad Paisley, Kesha, and Ludacris. So... what gives, America? And what gives, ABC?! And while we're on the subject, ABC has been advertising its newest shows (coming this fall), even if it means advertising them over and over in between shows. Um... why didn't they have that same bubbly energy when advertising Rising Star?

Okay, those were my bad stuff. Now, I will say what's good about the show.

1. the music- The renditions were great, as a whole. Some of them timeless, while others... not the best song choice.

2. the voting process- I had fun using the app to vote on the contestants, and on deciding their fates.

3. the creativity- The raising of the wall... makes this show even more epic.

4. the humanity- Unlike most singing competitions, this one has plenty of heart, whether you win or lose. Everyone was nice on the show, especially the contestants. There was plenty of good sportsmanship, which was something that this world needed.

Now, for who won the show... no spoiler alert. However, I will say that I already knew that that person was going to win the competition. He already had so much popularity and Youtube appearances that one would find it hard for them to lose.

-Seriously, I'm not spilling any more details, because the season finale happened last night (8/24/14).

Overall, the show was awesome. I hope to see Season 2 sometime in the future.
