I was outed to 1.8 million people. How was your day?

[TinaZ]

Hi everyone:

I'm a fan of Mike Rowe. He hosted a show on the Discovery channel called "Dirty Jobs." Not long ago he announced he was starting a new show on CNN called "Somebody's Gotta Do It," and as part of the launch, he unveiled a sing-along theme song and invited fans to film their own version of it, and send it in.

As a lark, I sang it as Tina and submitted, thinking I'd get a nice, polite rejection letter.

Well ...

Tonight on his Facebook page - a page with nearly 1.8 million fans - Mike published his early favorites, and there I was!

HOLY COW!

Luckily it's not a competition and there's no voting. Some of the comments have been pretty sweet (a few not so sweet, like, "The chick with the uke is a DUDE!" No kidding?!) I'm hoping this all blows over with not much ado, but Mike is hinting that he wants to use various videos for his show, instead of one. As in, a new one each week. So there's a chance Tina will be singing on CNN.

HOLY COW!

By the way, Mike described my version as, "a mesmerizing torch song." I know he's a sarcastic guy (one of the reasons I'm a fan!), but it was a fun thing to read.

Here's the link to the song on Youtube: http://youtu.be/6T1k2iQxhCE

Nicely done

[jaye_cd]

That is awesome!! I hope he uses it!

[Andy66]

Awesome, Tina. You were really cute in your video. I gave you a like. :)

[Jenny Elwood]

Tina you've certainly tickled my fancy. If only the company internet did not block Youtube, and my phone is out of range! Now I have to count the hours to "tjaila-" (home)time. No fair! Very much enjoyed your other videos, so I bet this one will be even better!

I'd like to enter the talent competition, but what is a girl with two left feet and very little musical ability beyond knowing how to operate a hi-fi, to do?

[Persephone]

Wow!!!

Hugs,
Persephone.

[Amanda M]

Hi Tina, I will be watching for your debut on national TV.

[Sarah Beth]

Great job really nicely done. I enjoy Mike Rowe, think he is funny and also like someone who is not afraid to get down in the muck with the little people. I hope you make onto the network if that is what you want to happen.

[kimdl93]

It's great! I hope you become a regular!

[Sarasometimes]

Well done and you can always play it off as a spoof. So maybe it is true that everyone does get 15 minutes of fame! You know by sharing here that outed to number is rising...hehehe.

[Amanda22]

That is really, really great! Thanks for doing that.

[Eringirl]

You are a star Tina... :cheer:

Somewhat nutty in a very talented and nice way too... You are bound to be a top choice - no doubt! :D

Just remember when you're accepting the first Emmy or Grammy, where you came from, and which girls gave you your start... ;)

Sweet!

[Kate Simmons]

One reason I never enter a contest or sweepstakes as Kate. Not to mention all the friends and relatives who come out of the woodwork when you do, gender presentation notwithstanding. :battingeyelashes::)

[Yoshisaur]

Hahaha OMG thats amazing Tina I will cheer you on so hard if it's a competition I love it.

[KittyD]

Screw what others think or say girl - main thing is you had FUN :) And you made a lot of people smile all over the world - so thats a really great thing you did :D
Wonderful smile & a super voice to go with :)
If you see a fresh sub on YouTube thats just me... I am very excited for you now :D
