"Sometimes I Feel / Like I've Lost My Own Soul"

Please tell me someone else saw The Osbournes last night. I know, I thought that series was over too! It's not. In last night's episode we met Laura, an Osbourne "#1 Fan" who put $20k on her credit card in order to win a day with the family in a charity auction. Anyway, I'll just give you the description from MTV.com:

Laura is really into Ozzie, and tells him that they've met before at one of his shows. They hug, but Ozzie is quick to flee. Kelly is not too happy to hear that they have a stranger staying in their house. "For all we know this person could kill us in our sleep," she says. Later that day, Laura sits down for a heart-to-heart with Sharon and Kelly and serenades then with a song she has written, followed by her best imitation of a death metal scream. ... After spending the night at the house, Laura gets to take a tour of Ozzie's studio. She marvels at all the records on the walls, and can't pass up the opportunity to test out Ozzie's drum set. She rocks out while singing her ballad yet again. Sharon is having second thoughts about making Laura pay the $20,000 for the trip, feeling bad that she has had to go into debt to afford it. Before Laura departs, the whole family gathers in the studio and listens to her sing for them one last time. She is too nervous in front of Ozzie to remember the words. All in all, Laura feels that the trip was amazing and can't wait to see the gang again. In her opinion, it was "the best day ever."
More like Best Song Ever!! (By "best" I mean "worst.")


Wow. I hope she starts a blog with streaming MP3s.

Also in this episode: Ozzy tries Google, but gives up after he can't use a mouse.

That's so sad. I want to be there at the exact moment in the future when this girl finally realizes that this was a waste of $20,000, so I can see the "oh shit, I'm an idiot" look on her face.

The looks on Kelly's and Sharon's faces as Laura sang her song were hilarious. I felt so bad for that poor woman. I hope she sells a few of those autographed items on ebay to recoup some of her $20,000.

I'm meeting my idol Ozzy Osbourne today, so I'm going to wear my....Metallica shirt. Rawk on. If I was a big enough fan to pay $20k, I'd probably spring for a $30 black sabbath concert T too.

she wore an ozzie shirt when she got there -- that was her change of clothes for the next day. i cant believe they let her sleep in their house. her song as bad enough, but the fact that they kept having her sing it and that sharon was telling her to never give up on her dream of music was just tragic.

It was seriously maybe the most uncomfortable thing I've ever seen on television.

Really remarkable.

$20,000 for a spot on MTV's Osbournes and, quite possibly, a spot on VH1's BWE. I'm just saying.

no guys stop its just really sad. i felt so horrible for her. seriously, there shouldnt even have been a post on here about it. shes just hopeful and not self concious and sweet. they were being rude by giving in and mocking her. and yes, kelly is definitly not one to have an opinion on the matter. does anyone else remember papa dont preach music video?

Didn't she mention something about a girlfriend? * shuddering *
anyway I couldn't even get through the whole episode every one was being so damn fake...
Kelly looks like a demented little geisha girl with that pseudo Japanese hairstyle she's got going on.

....what she might become regardless, huh awwwwwwwsht.......couldn't agree more.

they clearly put the audio of her singing over the drumming. wouldn't they have shown the clip if she ad actually done them together? she was actually a worse drummer than a singer, if that's possible.

How can MTV not know that his name is spelled "Ozzy" not "Ozzie?"

They need to do another season of The Osbournes. Let's hope this one isn't the last!

This episode was UNREAL.

I think this chick really thought she was a good singer. The song didn't make sense, really, if you think about.

It was really a sad situation. I definitely think she had mental problems. She seemed deranged.

And why wouldn't Sharon give her all the money back?

OH MY GOD - that was all I could say after seeing the clip on "The Soup". That poor woman - I can only pray she never has to watch herself on TV. That was absolutely the most gut wrenching thing I've ever seen.
