Dammit. Turned away to check something out and missed that.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
That was a totally different arrangement. I didn't recognize the song at first, but I actually like it better than the original! How about that?

Well, I am going to be caught out here alone, but I hated, hated what David Cook did to that song. Thought it was an abomination.
David Cook – Billie Jean
Another unfortunate looking baby. Who grew into an unfortunate looking man. And he’s giving Sagitarians everywhere a bad name. Stop emoing up great songs by jheri curl Americans. So much hate. Haaaaaaaatttteee! Get off my TV screen you poser tool. Michael should knock you upside the head with a full can of Jesus Juice. And then show you how you can tell her really does have vitiligo. Ugh. Here comes the word vomit from the judges. This fool is gonna win, isn’t he? I can’t stomach it.
Watching the playback, most of them sang well tonight but I was so painfully bored for the most part. Not a great top 10 episode. Syesha was the best tonight, for me. Who'da thunk it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Here's David's song sung by the original artist. I've never heard of him, I have never heard this song before. I thought it was Christian rock. I can't tell if it is...
Youtube says this is from 1986, btw. So I wonder if David goofed. He couldn't have done Marky Mark? :-)
Or more probably - Seal.

Okay, that confused the hell out of me until I figured out which David.
Doesn't appear to be Christian rock - or he doesn't anyway, based on wikipedia. Bad song choice though, seriously.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
(laughing) oh sorry.
yeah, he doesn't seem like Christian rock either. I just couldn't get with that song. WTF did he choose it?

"We have trust issues." Mylar
brenda, the same thing happened to me. I thought, "How in the world could you turn Billie Jean into Christian rock? And I didn't like the song in the original version all that much either, though I do think with a mature voice, it was better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I actually enjoyed the "Billie Jean" performance - more than I expected to.
I don't know about Kristy's performance - that seemed cynical in the extreme.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it's official that DCook is my guy this year.
i'm pretty sure this news story and his past couple of weeks of rocking it pushed me over the edge.
