No, Irene hasn't been the only one to have backup singers. It's not cheating. However, were those backup singers from her new band? (I didn't pay attention.) If they were, now, that would be incredibly unfair.

I really don't think that Irene Cara deserved to win lastnight, if i'm being honest, i thought she was awful, she sang terribly and whatever that dancing was that she was doing it looked ridiculous.

I thought HoJo sounded awesome... actually made me want to dig up my cassette tape. I would actually enjoy the CD of that album. I can't think of the name of it.

I had so many random thoughts during that show when I watched it last night/early this AM (around 1AM -- I Tivo'd it):

1. Cameo was Cameo, and I *loved* Cameo in the day -- but the "cup" & coordinating hat has got to go!!!

2. I wasn't quite feeling Sophie B... didn't sound like she brought her "A" game with her.

3. Enjoyed Wang Chung's classic song, but looked like this ----> when they sang "Hot in Herrre"... although I was quite impressed at the ease in which the words flowed off their tongues.

4. I was feeling the major cheese factor when Irene was performing. She didn't have her "A" game voice either and I was feeling the choreography. I, too, caught the national debut of her group Hot Caramel... It was cheesier than Kraft Mac & Cheese & Velveeta on that stage... just wasn't feeling it at all.

5. Loved, loved, LOVED Howard Jones! If I was voting strictly on talent and delivery, hands down, he was my winner! Oh I miss his music...

Well, thanks for indulging me. These were actually thoughts that I was having and I am surprised I have remembered them all this time later! LOL!

Put me in the group that enjoyed Wang Chung, LOVED Howard Jones, and thought Irene Cara was terrible! Howard Jones blew me away with his talent on the piano and his vocal abilities. His voice is terrific.

For the next show, the NBC web site is now listing:

Billy Vera "At This Moment"
Club Nouveau "Lean on Me"

in addition to Greg Kihn, Glass Tiger, and Thelma Houston. Looks like the Baha Men pulled out?

I'm gonna miss the show tonight.
It's on during the baseball game (Cards vs Pirates).

This is going to become a serious conflict when BB6 starts up...

Just seen an ad for this week's show (can't see it for real for another three hours) and it said "this time YOU get to vote"! Have they mentioned that? Are they declaring an audience winner or looking at web votes?

I probably missed that, Kitt--I am talking to Lumbele on IM and trying to post here, too. So I didn't hear that. But I will try to listen better. Anyone else?

He sounds just as he did 20+ years ago.

He was already older when he sang this the first time around and I think that helps.

I can't see anything about it on the website HP, so maybe they were just talking about being able to vote on the website as normal.

Where is this show taped, and when? Does anyone know? On the web site, there is a place to get tickets, but the people you see in the audience all look young and well endowed. Where are the real fans?
