EVENING NIGHTCAP: Third Time A Charm For Mel B? Partial DWTS New Cast (and my humble dream).

It captured a pre-911 pop culture world that underscores the entire series. I had to brace myself because David's  voice is like they clipped his balls after his first penalty kick. That voice rivals Mike Tyson's and is equally imbued with a slightly, nay, more like ear drum abusing accent that, mixed with the voice, sounds like they are voicing an animated movie and are method acting the holy shit out of it and refuse to let it go. I can't bear to hear David Beckham speak. I would rather have a fingernail yanked out than endure his bebeh voice. I survived it, though, ...
