Oprah’s Pets
I’m not a huge Oprah fan, and I rarely watch her show because it’s on while I’m at work. However, yesterday, during my procrastination of putting away the Christmas decorations, I watched her show with Faith Hill as the guest. Faith Hill talked about her fabulous life, being married to a fabulous man, and her fabulous children. Oprah then talked about Faith’s latest CD (which is FABulous), where she recorded three songs by a songwriter (who is a stay at home mother/housewife), Lori McKenna. The fact that this woman had nothing before she met Faith Hill was emphasized, and then, at the end of the show, she sang with Faith Hill on the song she wrote that Faith Hill recorded, Fireflies. It’s a very cute song, and I actually like Faith Hill. My problem was with Oprah.
When the song ended, Oprah clapped like a seal and then ran over and said, “You have now come full circle. Did you ever think when you were staying at home, raising kids, that your dream would be realized, and you would have Faith Hill, the superstar, sing your song on the Oprah Winfrey show?”
I was waiting for her to pat the woman on the head like a good dog, and ask her to chant “I love Oprah” 20 times. I think it’s great that this woman got discovered by writing some wonderful music that was discovered by a singer who will now make her famous. What’s that have to do with Oprah? However, Oprah made sure to point out that this woman was on THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW and now HER LIFE HAS COME FULL CIRCLE.
Oprah is very self-serving. She does a lot of good things, I know, but she makes sure we all hear about it, doesn’t she? However, Oprah, you did not help this woman realize her dream. You played no part in this woman’s music being recorded, and her talent being discovered. It was showcased on your show., yes, but YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I know that’s hard to accept, but it’s true.
And why do all those Oprah lovin’ groupies scream so much in the audience? That is so annoying.
“Hello audience, I’m late coming out because I have a bladder infection.”
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!! Maybe Oprah will give everyone Uristat today!”
