Damn you, Idol producers, for tweaking our musical funny bones."

Ha! Thank you for the vindication (see RARB/a cappella posting I'm the reviewer quoted twice).

Blake (formerly of kickshaw out of seattle) is called a vocal percussionist. He and Rudy (of the band m-pact) probably knew each other prior to the competition because m-pact is originally from Seatlle, before relocating in LA.

Anyway, thanks for the a cappella kudos for a change. :)

When did they hug? My tivo cut out the very end so maybe I missed it.

I am a lot less excited about this season without Castro/Iron&Wine.

Please?

Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue

And that beatbox accompanied version of "How Deep Is Your Love" was so enjoyable I would actually download that if someone posted the file. Hint hint.

So when, instead, she hugged Antonella and told her that she was "so proud" of her, I found it really moving. It almost redeemed that: "God likes good people" line.

I know, I was rooting for him, too - he had a total Iron & Wine/Ray LaMontagne look going.

Ha! I recognized the Troup girl from the Grammys, too - actually backed up the TiVo to make sure I wasn't imagining. Am seriously embarrassed I remembered her name.

I like that dude.
