This was so much fun. I don’t know how I’d never seen that Snickers ad, it’s a masterpiece. And, speaking of masterpieces, that Otto Dix painting…?? It’s spectacular, I look forward to summoning my inner von Harden in the future.
I’m with Garrett in very much appreciating Liza’a Lucille 2, also.
And I’m almost (so, so nearly) entirely in agreeance with you on all points; there would indeed be blood in a voice-off, and lots of it—right before Aretha won 🤷🏻♀️
A glorious battle, thank you dear Troy. I don’t love you any less for being wrong. 💗
I love your comparison. …But I would argue that this is like comparing a featherweight and a heavyweight champion. They approach things so differently that it would be nearly impossible for them to be in the ring together. By your criteria, Liza is the clear winner to me, my wife, a proud black woman, would disagree. And so you know, she finds that wig-snatchin’ video hilarious.
And although it was a tough match, I think you made the right choice in the end with Liza.
The two quotes below made me laugh out loud:
“Please, sit, make yourselves comfortable. If you require a monocle for our judging, now is the time to insert it.”
“I know this may come as a terrible disgruntlement to many of you, but please don’t unsubscribe over THIS (there are so many other reasons to shun me.)”
LIZA v. ARETHA
I would never have thought to compare them, but thanks for doing that! Now I want to see Cabaret again, lol.
Priceless work here! Thanks for expanding my understanding of these two great artists!!!

This was great Troy!
So many funny bits.

Yup, that was pure fun. My wife, sitting across the porch from me, said: “What in the world are you listening to?” How do I begin to explain?
Just watched on the train with my earbuds in, oblivious to all the clamour around me.
A real charm of a post, Troy. But, you needn't have written anything beyond the Liza with a Z video. That's all one needs to see to make a decision. 😁
I saw Sylvia at the Centre Pompidou a few months back. It is remarkable and actually, the painting I searched out first. It’s remarkable.
This was really fun, Troy! Not that it'd alter the outcome of the Comedy category, but Liza was also hilarious as Lucille 2 on Arrested Development.
Nope!
