then they look like they are churning butter or mixing a heavy batter

Yeah, to me, this isn't the Cabbage Patch, it's the Mayonesa dance. Heh, I've officially put too much thought into this!

Great recap, Jan. I’ve gotten so I want to start every day with the new Mavid dance but can’t get that stupid song out during the day. I’m looking forward to it 2nd only to seeing Michael when they come to Dallas. :wub_tb:

Thank you Jan! This recap cracked me up, especially the part about not being familiar w/ the Cabbage Patch and to you it looked like Mavid was “churning butter.” LMAO!!!

I found a full-length TOML from last night. It’s minus the teary ending, but at around 1:55 he stops singing and you hear only the crowd. The point of view is cool, too. Filmed from way up high, you can see the size of the crowd, alight with glow-sticks. Chills. No wonder he got weepy.

(I swear I do more during the day than troll the internet for videos. I went to work, paid attention to my kids, my husband and fed the dogs. But, there’s always time for Cookie )

Loved the recap! I was glad to hear David Cook did so well because I have been anxious about his voice holding up.

* also David A and Syesha both did the grasp the stomach and bend over in pain move – does that produce better vocals? – or is it just a dramatic thing?

^ Masterclass lady was talking about moves like these do help your ability.

Oh yeah and the Mavid dance hilarious! IDWTMAT getting better and better if possible!

Also, thanks Jan for your review! Many times I had things to do on Tuesday night too during the AI show, but same as you, I always stopped what I was doing to watch DC!

Looks like Brooke has some serious hip movements going on herself. SheÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s adorable!

Yes, she is – you can’t watch and listen to her without smiling – yellow in all it’s glory is her color – she is just that sunny

That was a great recap, Jan. Interesting to hear your take on the contestants that you didn’t really follow during the season.

That Cookie video has turned me into a blubbering mess. I might be a Cougar but watching that brings out the proud mom in me. For as much as we may joke about the cheesiness that is magic rainbow, that’s his magic rainbow damn it! When he said he’s waited his whole life for that moment I’m sure growing up he never expected a song like that to be his first hit single, but in the end I don’t think it matters. Lots of people knew the words to his song and he’s got to feel proud. [/sap]
