Vanilla Ice goes down storm at Aussie V Fest

Vanilla Ice reportedly got the crowd in a frenzy when he played at the Australian version of the V Festival in Sydney last weekend. Ice has had a bit of a profile boost in Australia of late, not because of his previously reported one off US co-headline show with MC Hammer, but because he has been taking part in a Virgin Mobile marketing initiative which basically sees the one-time chart topping rapper apologise for inflicting 'Ice Ice Baby' on us back in the day. Though the V crowd in Sydney seemed more than happy for him to inflict his hits on them in a three track set last weekend. One newspaper there reported that Ice was "a surprise favourite" and he got "mobbed" by fans. It's amazing what a bit of self-deprecation can do to your career.
