Part 3

6 step crew: group of a million boys dancing together. Their sob story? One of the judges does not like them. Pass the hanky. Ok, it is actually sickstep. Some are dressed in basketball gear. They dance with props, to James Brown's Get Up Off Your Thing or whatever it's called. Basically, they are street dancers. This is clearly a routine and not freestyle. I love street dancing. I approve. Brit guy likes them--he was the judge who didn't like them, so everyone feels great. Sharon tells them they lit up the stage, and Hoff tries to sound street by telling them they were sick.
My vote: yes.

Jerry Springer just said, "Hip hop's my life." (In a most crunk voice, I might add.) I don't doubt that hip hop is Springer's life, I really don't.

Anyone else looking forward to the new show Kath & Kim? I love Molly Shannon--she belongs on my tv set. I'd love to see the original.

Next up, actor Matthew Piatze. I made up the spelling of his last name. His back story--he found direction in his life doing impressions. Now that is truly sad. I hate impressionists, so I am sure he will suck. His impressions: Arnold (sounds like your best friend's impression) Jack Nicholson (sucked, I knew it was Jack because he put on sunglasses and started shaking his head, otherwise I would have thought he was doing an impression of his Uncle Paul a la Vicar of Dibley) Vince Vaughn (ok) Clooney (weird). Then he sings Balls of Fire--I guess he's singing in his voice and also in impressions. He seems to be having an argument with himself and his characters. I don't understand what he is trying to do. British guy says the crowd went dead when he went to the piano. Sharon says he needs to work on his writing--I agree, it didn't make sense. Hoff gives his drunken approval.
My vote: hell no. He didn't really stand a chance with me, but his impressions sucked.

Next: Joseph Hall, an Elvis impersonator. What the hell? He says he is really a shy person. I should point out he is very groomed--boys who way their eyebrows are not shy. If my mom is watching, I am sure she is throwing a fit. He sounds nothing like Elvis. Karaoke anyone? Song: Jail House Rock with the background scene from the movie--jail cells stacked upon each other like Hollywood Squares. Brit guy is not impressed. Sharon has the hots for this dude, and wants him to bring back his bad boy. Giggle time: Hoff told him he also had trouble learning to dance and sing at the same time. Hoff is such a rock star.
My vote: no. No to all impressionists.

Recap of the show. I missed a gaggle of girls kicking their legs. They are even worse in the recaps. This show is just not good.

Let's get to voting. And don't forget to watch tomorrow.
