Back from another commercial, Blake Lewis performs with Doug E. Fresh, who is credited as the first human beatbox. I bet Blake is probably freaking out to be on stage with such a big name.
It's a bit chaotic and the beginnig is hard to understand, but once they get into the actual beatboxing, it's fantastic and totally clear that this is the type of music Blake should be working on.
Well, back to the Golden Idol Awards... the next award is for Most Original Vocal, and it goes to Sholandric Stallworth, whom I barely remember from auditions and who really didn't do anything crazy or original. I don't know who's choosing the winners of these silly awards, but in my opinion, they're 0 for 2 right now.
They make him sing without a microphone to see if the theater can hear him, and they actually do.
Now the top six girls come out and sing. They start out with "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and Gina Glocksen got an awful haircut. I kow that has nothing to do with anything, but it's just not cute - she sounds great, though. Stephanie Edwards is still kind of bland in my book, and is anyone shocked that they put hayley Scarnato in a short, tight dress? She looks beautiful and sounds pretty good, until LaKisha conpletely blows her out of the water.
Holy cow - the names are getting bigger and bigger. They got Gladys Knight to perform. She comes out singing "I Feel a Song (In My Heart) and then "Midnight Train to Georgia." She sounds amazing and the top six girl are way better backup than the top six guys were. They're totally in harmony together - it sounds beautiful.
