Fancy That!

Wow, I was surprised to see Nick Lachey's choir win the competition. They were very good, but I thought Patti had them beat from the first song they sung. Now Nick promised to feature them as backup singers on his next album. Hmmmm what kind of song will he choose? There was a cute little blonde in his choir too - a possible new prospect perhaps? She spoke about he choir quite eloquently like she had more brains than Jessica. If she is smart she won't treat Nick like all the other girls. He said once on the Newlywed's show that he liked Jessica because she wasn't all over him like some of the others. Take a hint, sweetie, Nick likes a challenge.

I was happy to see that the other choirs who had been voted out were back for the finale. They were performing. The front-runners probably appreciated the vocal break since it takes alot out of you to perform and rehearse 4 nights in a row. Good move, producers!

When I looked at the choir leaders who were chosen to participate in this program, I see a mentoring relationship developing. Michael Bolton has been around a long time, and has had a lot of popularity and won numerous awards. He could offer an abundance of advice to Nick Lachey. There's probably things Michael would tell Nick that he has learned, composers and song writers he could hook up w/ Nick who is still in the beginning of a solo career. I don't think Nick has found the keys to a Platinum record yet. Kelly Rowland and Patti LaBelle are probably really tight these days too. Patti can offer all the secrets to staying in the music business for the long run. Kelly is doing very good with her solo career. I think she'll be around after Beyonce' goes to Vegas. (just a prediction) Blake? Ummm does Blake strike me as a mentor - no. He's wild, open, and flys by the seat of his pants. There's no rules with this guy, and he's got the IT factor going for him along with this sense of humor. He's really let out all the stops, and his fans are liking him so much with all the off the cuff stuff he said during this live show. He will be sold out this summer tour. No problem.

My question is will there be anyone who was a soloist in any of the choirs scouted out? Will someone be called up by a Sony/ Jive/ Word/ GoTee Records company big-wig? Is there a newbie we are going to see out of this thing? It would be cool for that to happen to one of the older, dead end career people - someone who is too old for American Idol, and too mature to be able to spend all those weeks locked up in a house w/ teenager/college kids.

I enjoyed watching. Thanks NBC.
