David Archuleta, formerly of American Idol, was on The Wendy Williams show yesterday, and he made the mistake many of us have made lately: he thought Steven Tyler was a beautiful lady with luscious hair and succulent lips. David tried to play that off, even though Wendy called him out on it.
In fairness to Mr. Archuleta, even a hardcore Aerosmith fan (and we’re talking Toys in the Attic-era Aerosmith, not “Pink”/”Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”-era Aerosmith…the latter doesn’t even count…) can’t help but wonder what the artist formerly known as Stefano Tallarico is injecting into his face.
Steven — honey — take it from a fan: we loved you just fine with the wrinkles. You’re a grandfather, FFS — and let’s face it, you look better than Keith Richards on his best day. Lord knows you can sing like it’s nobody’s business…unlike Mr. Archuleta here.
Besides — you’ve written iconic rock songs. You came back from the brink of a crippling heroin addiction to INVENT A WHOLE NEW GENRE OF ROCK’N’ROLL (the “rock-rap” genre was single-handedly invented by Aerosmith and Run-DMC with “Walk this Way.”). And you’ve blessed the world with the beauty/brains/talent triple threat of Liv Tyler.
With all this and more, we’ll forgive you a few wrinkles. I promise.
Anyway, here’s the video of Mr. Archuleta, may God rest his brain, on The Wendy Williams Show:
