<p>She is channeling her inner-Paula Abdul. She was particularly irritating last night.</p>
<p>JHS - D2’s a cappella group does Fix You, and toward the end of their arrangement they have some of the singers still doing Fix You while others are doing The Scientist (sorry, I have no knowledge of musical terms… I know there’s a term for this kind of arranging). So last night when they reached that part of the song, I kept waiting to hear The Scientist. I love Coldplay.</p>
<p>I have actually liked Nicole as a judge - until last night. What the heck was all that blubbering about?</p>
<p>Since we DVR all of the episodes, we just FF past all of Nicole’s comments. She always seems so self-satisfied with what she has to say. She leans back and grins after her own comments. That’s when we know to slow it back down again.</p>
<p>Hey, just noticed that the Oxygen Channel is airing all the episodes this afternoon/evening… In case you don’t have a DVR and missed them.</p>
<p>Yes, we made fun of Nicole here too, but last night I thought the ‘smart’ judge was super annoying. He sang badly and then made a lot of bad jokes. </p>
<p>Nicole does have a great voice. She should stick to singing.</p>
<p>Nicole is also an incredible dancer. But not so much a talker…</p>
<p>Ben Folds is an incredible musician and his observations as a judge were by far the most intelligent and cogent. However, his vocal style is NOT one that blends well with other voices, so a cappella with a group is not a great idea for him.</p>
