Speaking of celebrity shows...

I watched "Celebrity Don't Forget the Lyrics" last night.

Normally, I avoid game shows that have celebrity versions--"Celebrity Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" is a joke--but I must admit that this game show works well in a celebrity version. Especially when you get celebrities who can actually sing.

A few weeks ago, Boyz II Men played the game for charity. As a group, they became only the second contestants to clear 9 songs for $500,000. They passed on a chance at the Million Dollar Song.

Last night, Kevin Cronin (the lead singer of REO Speedwagon) competed for charity.
Spoiler
He won $350,000 when he successfully filled in 9 missing words from the theme to "Ghostbusters". He walked away from $500,000 when he and his backup singer could not come up with 9 missing words to Donna Summer's "Last Dance".

Did they make him sing an REO Speedwagon song?

Yes, he took the "REO Speedwagon" category at $100,000. Of course, he gave the correct 6 words to "Keep on Lovin' You".

At least he could sing his own song.
