New Bo Bice Video - "Blades Of Glory"

Right, as in that Blades Of Glory. Is Bo in on the joke? We're guessing it's not intended to be a serious song from a comedic film 'cause Bo's wearing a powder blue tuxedo. And, you know, that's a funny color for a tuxedo. But there's nothing else funny about the clip. (Sorry Bo, constipated faces don't count.) Anybody see this movie yet? Is watching Will Ferrell's gut hang out still funny?

I havn't seen the movie yet, but I would place good money on Will Ferrll's gut still being very funny. In fact, it might be the most enduringly funny item in cinematic history.

I worked on this, and in the director's defense Bo had to peace set really early (like 2 hours in) for medical reasons that are too stupid and hilarious for me to share. So yeah, honestly, it was supposed to be way much more over the top...like a visual equivlent of badly drawn boy covering journey.

thin plot + will ferrell + will arnett + amy poehler + jenna fischer + plenty of riffing and absurdity = hilarious

don't be expecting a revelation but you'll laugh your ass off.

My uncle wore that same powder blue tux in his second wedding. Blades of Glory looks hilarious. John Heder reminds me of Tommy Shaw in that wig.

Love Bo, thought he looked very handsome. Best ever singer. Very proud of him! And yes, it was meant to be a joke, hahahaha, if he had sang it silly it would not have been funny, the seriousness and outfit was the funny part.

The movie was surprisingly funny. I thought it would be something Will Ferrell would mail in between the movies he does with Adam McKay, but it was better than Talladega Nights. He's still got it.

The movie was hysterical! I think this video is perfect...to me it's Will Ferrell's character Chaz Michael Micheals imagining himself to be this over the top lounge singer. So delightfully cheesy!! I think Bo Bice sounds great and looks the part!

I didn't think it was funnier than Talladega Nights, but it was definitely funny.

Plus it's worth seeing for Jenna Fischer in lingerie...excuse me while I drool.

Blades was zoolander on ice. I thought Anchorman and Talledega nights was better. I can't see Heder in anything but Napoleon Dynamite.

Love the video and the tux. Bo Bice brings those strong vocals to a very funny movie. Uncertain, however, of the criticism; seems cheap and lame.

Blades Of Glory Was A Good Movie But I Only Bought The Movie To Watch The Blades Of Glory Music Video. Bo Bice Is Definitly The Best American Idol Contestant Ever!
