I’m so excited to be doing Dancing With The Stars, but I’ve got a lot to learn. I’ve got some mean stripper moves and I can pick up a dollar with my butt, however the Viennese Waltz is all new for me! I’ve been training with my partner for three days now and I can’t believe how much my body hurts! I’m trying to embrace the pain.

What people are saying about Cho Dependent:
The result is a delightfully exuberant album that includes melodic drug-inspired pop (”Calling in Stoned”), a club-thumpin’ dance number about sperm donation, a Dylan-esque folk anthem for head lice, a perfectly titled torch song (”Eat Sh-t and Die”), and a lush, “wall-of-sound” ode to cock. Overall, Cho Dependent delivers both musically and comically….Margaret manages to do justice to both.
- Koream Magazine
This is no half-assed attempt at crossing over – she enlisted the help of everyone from Tegan and Sara and Ani DiFranco to A.C. Newman and Andrew Bird to create some damn fine tunes for her damn fine voice.
- New York Magazine
“Cho Dependent” is filled with witty and funny lyrics as well as delicious vocals and catchy hooks….Her brilliance is showcased best in tracks like “Your Dick” a ballad that pays homage to a man’s southern region while the lyrics are blunt the melody is sweet and the harmonization is lovely enough to momentarily make you forget you’re listening to a comedic album, that is until the falsetto comes in proclaiming “I like your balls too.”
- Sinister Girlz
The album succeeds along the lines of Yankovic’s and those of Cho’s other contemporaries – like Tenacious D and the Bloodhound Gang – with first-rate music combined with laugh lines worthy of a spit take via milk, beer or an internal organ.
- The Press-Register
Personally I love the whole record and foresee it living on my CD player for quite some time.
-Holly Cara Price, The Huffington Post
Margaret Cho sings – and she doesn’t suck! Her first single, I’m Sorry, is just like her – sweet and funny….charming and clever…It will put a smile on your face!
- Perez Hilton.com
Katy Perry may be campy and Lady Gaga may be daring, but both seem so manufactured these days. Cho offers a funnier, more foul-mouthed alternative that won’t ever go the sell-out/censored route. Depend on it.
- LA Weekly
The album is at its best, though, when the backing also takes on some comedic value, like “Gimme Your Seed,” where Cho’s depiction of a trip to the sperm bank is matched with auto-tuned vocals and electro-popped backing.
