Thank You Randy Johnson

For some inexplicable reason, after 11 weeks of imprisonment by Fox, The Much Pimped “Back Up Singer” was unable to remember that Randy’s last name is Jackson. After being told by the Governor of Tennessee that Randy had chosen Whitney Houston’s, “I Believe in You and Me” to sing she looks right into the camera and says, “Thank You Randy Johnson.”
( I replayed it 5 times )

I was not aware of “The Back Up Singer’s” Love of baseball.

This scenario pretty much defined the entire evening’s demeanor.

The Back-up singer’s other songs for the evening included the Producers pick, “Nut Bush City Limits.”

For the second time this season we are asked to suspend our sense of reality and pretend that “The Back Up Singer” has the bravado to pull off a Sex laden Tina Turner Classic.

She doesn’t.

There is no raw sexuality. There is no emotionally charged dancing/stage presence, unless you accept “The Back Up Singer’s” patented “Grapes Into Wine Stage Stomping” as dancing.

Her final Favorite song choice was “I’m a Woman.” Barely.

Over all she did what she always does, performs a well rehearsed forgettable back up routine.

But there was an upside moment…She did get a parking lot named after her.

My Favorite Song Of All Time

“Come On I’m Only Seventeen!”

A question for Jordin from “Bailey” from North Carolina, “What is your favorite song of all time”?
Answer…..MMM Bopp by Hanson.

The time 7:24 CDT.

Then when it came time for her to pick “Her Favorite” to perform, Jordin chooses

“I Who Have Nothing.” The Time 7:44 CDT

MMM Bopp?

Standing pat, and not wanting to take any chances, Sparks delivers a deja vu performance. I want to say that one of her performances was spectacular, goose bump producing, a real wow moment.

There were none tonight.

She worked kinda hard for her money.

This performance was by far her worse of the evening. She was consistently behind the music, she was screechy and all over the place vocally. But because it is so late in the competition, the judges cannot say overly negative comments now because these are the singers that they have been pushing hard now for weeks.

My earlier predictions of her as the runaway winner, I fear, will have to be readjusted.

Her upside moment of the evening…a plaque at the bottom of an escalator

Roxanne

Proving that he is destined to endure a career for all of eternity in Pop Music Hell, it’s only fitting that Paula would pick a song about a prostitute for Blake to sing tonight, can you say Freudian slip? Blake does a credible impersonation of

The other songs….Moron 5? and Robin Thicke?
Please Blake, make the pain of an old man stop!!!

So unless Fox decides that they want to really create a ratings coo for next weeks finale by “Fixing” the vote and jettisoning one of the women ( Which would be sweet ),

It appears that your finale will have two big breasted females in it.
