Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I can't get "I Wanna Get With You" by Guy out of my head.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I love me some Guy. I know that dates me, but oh well. I just to club to Guy in college.

I have Guy on my iPod right now. I am listening to "Groove Me". Next up is D-O-G Me Out.

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!!

Would that be "If I Had No Loot" by Tony Toni Tone?

Would that be "If I Had No Loot" by Tony Toni Tone?

Yes! Yes it would. Thank you, because I had the one line going through my head, but couldn't figure out what it was from, and was about to start playing every early to mid-90s song on my iPod to figure it out.

Not that that would truly be a hardship, but...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, that makes sense. I definitely know the genre, just not the name somehow. And how does that translate into dance, stylistically?

I also kinda wondered about that with the pop category. Pop seems pretty broad. Is it just the triangular formation, lots of upper body movement stuff?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

New Jack Swing comin at ya!

Hey! I can repeat a joke I haven't used since the '90s: More like Know Jack about Swing.

Sorry, the "movement" was pretty much a litany of the worst music the '90s had to offer. Blech.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Can't believe I missed the New Jack Swing conversation. I was just listening to "If I Had No Loot" on my ipod the other day and when I told a good friend of mine how much fun I was having she asked me what song I was talking about. We almost had to break up. Anywho, I also received a Best of Guy mixed CD for my birthday last year. Good times!

And on to this night's AI so far:

What fresh hell is this? Paula is wearing black latex fingerless gloves.

Ramiele – Alone

Cutest baby ever!! Cutest parents ever!! True fact – You will never do this song on this stage better than Ms. Carrie Underwood, so leave it alone. And you are off pitch from the jump. Y’all, her voice is really not that big. She’s not even doing it as well as Carly. Wow, she is just screaming at this point. Was there anything actually in tune? That was bad. Bad bad. And the high-waisted camo shorts? Bad idea. Bad song choice poorly delivered. Why are the judges trying to give her an out due to illness? Stop making excuses. She was decidedly not good.

Jason Castro – Fragile

Cutest baby ever!! Again! Baby in a ten gallon hat! Beautiful blue eyed baby! I can’t wait until we get to the contestant with the tore up baby pictures. We’ll have some fun then. Interesting song choice. And interesting arrangement. Just different enough from Sting’s version to not be copycat. It’s certainly right in his Starbucks CD wheelhouse, but he sounds really good. And he’s much better with the guitar. Oooh, breaking out the rock en espanol! I approve! Work it out. Very nicely done. Paula and Randy making sense? The hell you say. But really, he’s not going to be any other than who he is. Simon is totally right. I just don’t know how much this kid cares about winning this show. And he’s pretty, so he’ll be fine for quite a while to come.

Syesha Mercado – If I Were Your Woman

She is annoying. And she needs to stop letting them straighten her hair because it makes her look like a nobody. How the hell does this song qualify as being from 1987? Very liberal interpretation of the theme. She’s doing a very nice rendition of it, though. I don’t know when she learned to show a little restraint, but it is greatly appreciated. Dang, I love this song. She’s going a little bit over the top here at the end and maybe a few more glory notes than I’d like, but overall very well done. I think it’s my favorite performance of hers ever. Agree with Randy again. Well, maybe not stellar, but definitely her best to date by far. Wow, Paula is really lucid tonight. Maybe it’s the gloves. As usual, Simon is right. The end was over the top.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I can't believe she was born in 1987. That's the year I graduated from high school.

I feel like an old lady. damn.
