The Razor Announces: Our People of the Year for 2007!
With the unfortunate death of Meat Loaf last week, I was reminded that Mr. Loaf was the Razor's 2006 Man of the Year, and also that I had forgot to name a person of the year every year since then. So, for the next several weeks, I'm going to be catching up, starting with 2007!
And it is with great pride that I announce that the winner of the 2007 Razor Person of the Year is....
The KMG's! You no doubt will remember them from this performance, which won them a 26th-place medal for Belgium at Eurovision 2007:
As you probably have guessed, KMG stands for "Krazy Mess Groovers," which is, I suppose, a thing in Belgium. (It's worth noting that our own President Biden did some crazy mess grooving yesterday). The KMG's faced a quandary at Eurovision: the rules of the competition said that only six people could be on stage at once, a problem for the ten Krazy Mess Groovers who made up the group. That meant that while Sexyfire, Mr. Scotch, Mr. French Kiss, Big Boss, Mr. Cream and Lady Soulfire are all featured in the video above, we were robbed of the visual stylings of Mr. Y, Captain Thunder, The Answer, and Mr. DeeBeeDeeBop, all of whom had to perform from offstage. (Also, they seem to be all-in on unusual names in Belgium).
So, where are the KMG's now? It's hard to tell. Their official website appears to have been taken over by... uh, someone else.
And if you have always wished we in the US could have something like this, you are in luck!
For now though, let's all take a moment to congratulate the 2007 Osler's Razor people of the year, the KMG's!
Also, please feel free to use the comments section to nominate contestants for the 2008 Razor Person of the Year, to be announced one week from today.
