That was a great recap, Jan. Interesting to hear your take on the contestants that you didn’t really follow during the season.
Thanks for the great recap, Jan. I don’t want to take my eyes off him either
Looks like Brooke has some serious hip movements going on herself. She’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
David Cook, tearing up to the audiance singing TOML! Wow, that’s just awesome! I do hope a vid comes up soon with it! I good close up one too.
I did appreciate livehead’s pictures and description though. Thanks for posting!
This guy, DC, I. just. don’t. know. what. to. say. anymore!
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!
OH. MY. GOD.
David and Michael are officially RIDONKULOUS!!
And I love them both.
(but David more… shhhhh!)
Loved the recap! I was glad to hear David Cook did so well because I have been anxious about his voice holding up.
^ Masterclass lady was talking about moves like these do help your ability.
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
)
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!!!
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:
Yeah, to me, this isn’t the Cabbage Patch, it’s the Mayonesa dance. Heh, I’ve officially put too much thought into this!
Loved the review jan, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
