Two idol videos for your viewing pleasure

May 26, 2007 22:30

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 ( Read more... )

LOL! There it is!

It's like this wistful glance of "I wish we could be dancing" and I'm all, awww, you guys.

The Rymonistas on my flist report that Ryan, who never takes time off, skipped out on E!News Daily on Friday (reportedly to "get a jumpstart on his weekend") and that Simon has to be back in England by Sunday to film something or other. So I reckon they got that dance this weekend after all.

Yeah he also didn't do his Larry King interview with the contestants that he normally does. I wonder if he's going to England to film that "This is your life" thing for Simon. Apparently Simon was suprised by it during the finale(in a break obviously) and they are doing it over the weekend.

Thanks for these! Blake = awesome, the Rymon = aww, and wow does Bette = teh suck! o_O

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.

They said that Bette was a last minute sub for Celine and that she's getting ready for a Vegas stint so maybe she just wasn't quite as ready as she thought she was. She suffers because we've all heard that song at a billion commencements, etc.

I love that everyone is seeing The Look because sometimes I wonder if I'm actually crazy. Then I remember that my fandom doesn't need manips because these two are all over each other all the time.

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.)

aome May 27 2007, 12:43:22 UTC

Er, sorry - Doug E. Fresh. Don't choke on your laughter. :P

Have you watched the video? Because it's much easier to explain in terms of that video I embedded, what with the difficulty of writing about sounds and all. Beatboxing is making the noises of a backing track or a turntable. Which isn't the same as rapping-it's really replacing the DJ, rather than replacing the MC ( ... )
