Off topic...Have we heard a Blondie Retro Recruitment story yet?

My favorite last night was David Cook. LOVED what he did with "Billie Jean." I liked Brooke and Syesha and Chikezie too.

Ramiele singing "Alone" - BAD BAD IDEA.

I absolutely loved David Cook last night. I just watched it back on youtube, and noticed that Ryan said it was Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean. Chris Cornell was the lead singer of Soundgarden, who I absolutely loved back in the day.

I thought at first it was his own version, but regardless, it was awesome.

Thanks for the heads-up it's on youtube, I've been meaning to check that today! And I am slightly disappointed only in that I thought he had made that arrangement himself so that added to how incredibly impressed I was (I didn't catch that intro from Ryan that it was Chris Cornell's version). But on the other hand, I too have always loved Chris Cornell, so I still love the song and like the way David delivered it. He made up that arrangement for "Hello", though, didn't he?

I'm sure anyone watching tonight knows this, but David did just acknowledge that all the arrangements he has done prior to tonight were someone else's. Tonight was his own, though, and I think it worked really well. But, I'm biased at this point.

Especially since Carrie Underwood did such an excellent job of singing that song when she was a contestant on the show.

HaHa! Actually, no, I haven't gotten around to writing one of those yet. I'll give it some thought. (and dig waaaaay into the depths of my memory for some of those rounds/parties....)

The best part of me getting to write a Retro thread is that I can technically use the terms "Rush" and "rushee"... because that's how it was back then! None of this cumbersome new-fangled jargon! (just had to throw that in to sound old and crusty)
