That might as well be his last name - Mr. Kevin Spears Failureline.
You've got to feel a wee bit sorry for him.
Play along with me and get into his head for a sec ( I know, it's a scary thought, but just work with me here).
Picture it - you are Kevin…you are backstage and it's moments before your big debut - LIVE on stage in front of MILLIONS, at the Teen Choice Awards. To make matters worse... EVERYONE (critics and average jane's and joe's alike) can't wait to criticize and pounce on your every move - dissecting your entire routine and using you as a source of watercooler convo the next day!
The fact that he was even able to get out there and do his thing without passing out takes guts and you've got to give him props for that.
Now call me crazy - but with that kind of pressure, I'm going to go so far as to say he wasn't even THAT bad.
Hold the hate mail and listen.
Take a good look at Nelly Furtado's first big gig, or Britneys' or Justin Timberlakes'…it takes plenty of patience, hard work and time to work out the kinks and become a solid performer. He could have done worse. So sit back and enjoy the crazy ride because one thing is certain - he'll be lucky if he can ride out his 15 minutes and you may even find yourself missing him…
