VIDEO: JOJO FALLS OUT AT JODECI 'REUNION' TOUR STOP IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.

Watching the following video will most likely make you do one of two things: literally laugh at loud or feel nothing but sympathy for these two brothers/has-beens. Last Saturday, in Sydney, Australia, the 90s R&B group Jodeci came together for a show which was billed as a Jodeci reunion tour...however, only two members of the four member band 'performed.' Let me rephrase that: only two members of the four member band showed up. In the video posted on youtube, we see a bare chest K-Ci onstage alone lip syncing to All My Life which is not a Jodeci hit, but a K-Ci and JoJo hit. Seconds later, JoJo emerges onto the stage and hits a few notes and even Bankhead Bounce before falling out on the floor and rolling over. I ain't gon lie: JoJo falling out was so sad, I thought dude was truly ill so I couldn't even laugh at him....well, not until after their bodyguard disregarded ol dude as if this sort of thing happens at every K-Ci and JoJo performance. Then I laughed my ass off. What was even more bizarre is that the bodyguard looked down at JoJo as if to say, 'This n!ggah, here! before choosing to pick up JoJo's microphone off the floor instead of JoJo himself! And while all of this was going on K-Ci kept singing! Whatver happened to being your brother's keeper? So what was the catalyst of JoJo's temporary downtime? According to K-Ci, the two brothers were jetlagged from their 24-hour flight. Mmmm-hmmm. Well one thing's for certain and two thing's for sure: Mary J. Blige is somewhere thanking the Lord for giving her enough sense to get away from that clown called K-Ci.

All jokes aside, that dude needs to be checked for epilepsy. From what I hear, this isn't the first time JoJo has reintroduced himself to a floor or a stage. In the meantime I'll just pray that Jesus keeps him near thy cross.

Anyhoo, how they could they have a Jodeci reunion with only two of the four members? That's like having a New Edition reunion without Ricky and Ronnie. Word to life? That's why I will heart N.E. something proper-like until the day I die. Them dudes come together as one or they don't come together at all....with or without Bobby.

SIMON COWELL ON FANTASIA'S BROTHER'S 'A. I.' AUDITON: 'IT WAS FANTASTIC ...UNTIL HE STARTED SINGING. HE'S TERRIBLE!'

Simon Cowell was delighted when former American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino's brother auditioned on the reality talent show - until he heard his "terrible" singing voice. Ricco Barrino's audition on the current seventh series of American Idol was so bad, Cowell and his fellow judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul were convinced he couldn't be related to Fantasia. Ricco auditioned in Dallas with the gospel standard A Change Is Gonna Come. No doubt, talent runs through the Barrino blood (K-Ci and JoJo of Jodeci fame are cousins of Fantasia's), but sadly for Ricco, his time in the spotlight was brief. The 27-year-old High Point, NC, native was cut after his first call-back.

Cowell says, "He was dreadful. He can't sing. I think I am right in saying this from memory, he was terrible. I remember thinking, 'Oh, great! Fantasia's brother.' And it was all fantastic until he started singing and then we disputed the fact that he really was Fantasia's brother because he hasn't got his sister's talent."

Well, he may not possess his sister's singing skills, but his songwriting skills were evidently enough to get him signed to T.I.'s Grand Hustle record label. According to sandrarose.com, the self-proclaimed King of the South brought Ricco on to pen lyrics for his Grand Hustle artists including Young Dro and Alfamega. Ricco has already gained small town accolades with his ladies anthem, Bubble Gum.
