I have a question.Who the FRIG is “Ray Chew”? For MONTHS I thought it was the phonetic spelling fo the name “Rachel” by someone with a mouth full of mashed potatoes, and a Gangsta jewelry collection now being worn by Randy!
Hi, SC! :)
I don’t know - I get it from votefortheworst.com
Hollie is doing great with this number!
I am laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes!
She was great - I just wish she would smile, show some personality.
She really knocked it out of the park. She’s really started to loosen up the last couple of weeks.
I have always liked Holly but realized her limitations, but I think the last couple of weeks she has really come on strong.
Did the turtle come out of her shell?
Ray Chew
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ray Chew (born c. 1968) is an American musician who specializes in keyboards and contemporary and orchestral arranging.
Chew was a member of the Saturday Night Live Band from 1980 to 1983. As of the late 2000s, he is the music director for the syndicated television series Showtime at the Apollo, and the bandleader on the The Singing Bee.
Chew was the bandleader during the 2008 Democratic National Convention and at the Barack Obama Neighborhood Ball in 2009.[1]
He grew up in the Grant Houses, located on 125th Street, several blocks west of the Apollo Theater.[2]
As of 2009, he was a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey, having moved there from New York City in the late 1990s.[1]
It was announced on December 30, 2010 that he will be replacing Rickey Minor as the new music director on American Idol.[3]
Hollie can actually shake that thing........ for real!!
Jennifer’s makeup looks great - she is stunning tonight. I hate her.
Yeah, I agree. Those earrings must weigh a ton. Her lobes are all stretched out.
Evening Jonny . All
Really liked Holly.....
She’s like a little Ann-Margrock!
LOL!
Two songs each again tonight. First batch will be songs from the 60's.
Hollie is first with "River Deep, Mountain High". The songs are allowed more room to breathe tonight, but this one keeps going on and on. Hollie's doing a great job with it though.
Standing-O from Randy, and I think Steven. J-Lo remained seated.
Steven: You stepped out and used your blues. You showed me you got it in you. Thank You, Lord.
J-Lo: A stronger prescence. Biting the song. A different kind of Hollie.
Randy: I loved it too! You gotta do it like nobodies watching. Yo, she's digging in! Very nice!
Seacrest says, after watching rehearsals, that Hollie's second song could be as good as the first.
I LOVE that “group” picture-—What do ya suppose would happen if it “suddenly” appeared on the “Whale Watchers” thread? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(yeah, I know I am evil...but I’m damned good at it ;-)
I really liked his character on the Sopranos. That was my first ‘knowledge of him’. So, I really enjoy seeing this other side of him or seeing him with Springstein.
Just in case you didn’t know Randy was a producer..here is a picture of Randy ..producing...probably mariah carey ;-)))

Been watching some stuff on the Bee Gees. Never realized that singing falsetto could kill your back. Then I tried it. Yeah, it puts pressure on the back.
Those boys sure were talented..and underrated.
