"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, I finally saw the "History of" and it was awesome, as advertised. It was funny, though, they broadcast the ad for the finale right at the beginning of the episode, so I was all, well, lose the suspense, why dontcha? But I knew already, so oh well.

It sucks that they had to have their final routine all worked up but couldn't get to perform it, though, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't remember thinking that the costumes as such were all that hot, except for the rip-away pants the girls had on -- they were unexpected.

I didn't mean hot like sexy, but I was really impressed with how the evoked the different era with different hats and taking of their jackets or whatever -- it was subtle, but definitely worked, IMO.

What is New Jack Swing?

It's a genre of music that was popular in the late 90's. Think Guy, Color Me Badd, BellBivDevoe, Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown, etc.

Y'know, I remember a song that mentioned the New Jack Swing, but I didn't realize it was actually a type of music...I just though it was that song!! And looking at the wikipedia entry, those are all songs I love. Hee.

Wasn't there a movie? New Jack City? I seem to remember the immortal line, "Sit your five dollar ass down before I make change."
