Two idol videos for your viewing pleasure

[jlh]

I know a lot of you are a bit dubious about American Idol, but just do me a favor and watch this video of Blake Lewis and Doug E Fresh. The kid in the red jacket was this year's runner-up.

I cannot wait to hear this kid's record. I have faith that Simon will find him a producer that will keep him from his worst excesses, which is better than having to find someone to actually give him some style.

Behind the cut: So that moment of Rymon staring at 1:44 in Wednesday night's show?

Do yourself a favor and don't listen to the audio. The Rymon stare is at 2:40 (which on this countdown clock is about 1:10) and happens very fast, but you know how I said in HD we'd be able to see Simon? I was so right! Damn that cameraman that passes through the shot.

I missed the Doug E. Fresh bit as I was watching the Lost recap but wow, that was awesome!

There is indeed a look there!! Stupid cameraman.

And, omg, what was wrong with Bette? That is one of my favorite songs by her and she sang it like a early-level contestant.

Every time I saw Blake Lewis mentioned in the paper, they referred to him as a "beat boxer". What the heck does that mean? That he's a rapper, as we saw with Fresh E? (I didn't see Blake perform at all, so I have no idea what his preferred style is.)

Man, that thing with Doug E Fresh was just COOL. I'm kind of wishing Blake could've figured out a way to go further in that direction with more of the songs he was required to sing; but on the other hand, given that his strengths and interests are so much different than what I typically think of as American Idol style, I'm that much more impressed with how far he got in the competition. I totally agree with you, I can't wait to hear what he comes up with on a record.

The Simon/Ryan look: aw! I totally missed that when it aired, so thank you for posting it. <3

Man, it's a good thing the Rymon stare was worth listening to Bette's performance again. :) I should've taken your advice and muted the volume! My ears...

Oh, Rymon. How I'll miss you.
