11/26: Huff, Mandisa on Gospel Music Channel's xmas special, Bo Bice's "Witness" video
By: Rodney Ho | November 26, 2007, 10:34AM EST
If you haven’t seen season three’s George Huff in awhile, check him out dueting with season five’s Mandisa on Atlanta-based Gospel Music Channel Christmas Channel. They sing that classic “The Christmas Song.” And yes, they even dance. It’s quite charming. Both have done well in the welcoming arms of the gospel world. (MJ picked this up. She’s amazingly good at finding “Idol” related clips all over the TV dial!)
And though Bo Bice is getting virtually no radio airplay for his song “Witness,” his fans have helped vote his song “Witness” to the top of the VH1 top 20 video countdown. Congratulations! Check out the countdown here. As of this week, Daughtry is at No. 2 with “Over You” and Jordin is at No. 5 with “Tattoo.”

Give D a cookie!!!!! (raisin oatmeal ok?)
Rodney thank you SO much for this... i love this!!! and kudos to MJ, she's wonderful for sharing with you always....
i agree, D, Mandisa and George could make an incredible duo down the years, especially since they share so much, apparently, in interests not only musical! would be nice to hear them more! and yes, Bo is a throwback...right to the kind of young men i pined after when i was a young lady, so i'm always totally enthralled when i get to see/hear him, LOLOL!!

I agree Kellyfan, where is everyone? I'm a usual reader so where are all the funny people?
Posted by: Deirdre on November 26, 2007 12:29PM EST
Sorry we're not funny enough for you, idolfan!..:-p~~~
The other regulars got sick and tired of putting up with flatscreen's ranting and picking on them and they left the blog.
linny...as much as I would LOVE an oatmeal raisin cookie...I will now be fasting until Christmas to make up for what I ate for Thanksgiving. Perhaps you could start a box for me! :-)

Linny, i'm here....work has been crazy! Shame to see them all leave because of a bad apple... And the water is fine, just make sure it's not the "gray water" Yuck.
I didn't eat a whole lot for Thanksgiving. I'm thanking my potential ulcer.
Hope y'all are having a great day.

Thumbs up, linny!
kellyfan...you're a brave one...bad apples can be a real pain in the azz...but...we're glad to have you on board! :-). Looking forward to your Kelly Clarkson review...and if you run into Rodney there, say hello for us!

I love the real Bo Bice! I'm so happy he left RCA and is doing his own thing with his own songs. He's retro southern rock and the video is hot!
Posted by: linnykat on November 26, 2007 4:43PM EST
Pepa, you are soooo right, LOL!
y'all, i'm almost due to be OUTA here! see you tomorrow.... gotta go watch the finale performances for DWTS!!!! I just canNOT decide whether i want helio or melB to win (mel because darn it, she's EARNED it [but then i wanted Layla last year!] or helio because he's just so darned CUTE and one heckuva dancer as well, but mel because Julianne's star won last year, and it would be nice to have Maksim's star win this year!) so i guess, weighing it out, MelB with Helio second, LOLOL!!

This song by Bo bites. I guess it should be Bo Bites instead of Bo Bice. He sounds as though he's trying to channel Linny Kravitz and the channel is blocked.

Just don't disagree w/ MJ on Taylor and Blake's supremacy or else censorship awaits.
Posted by: Deirdre on November 27, 2007 7:40AM EST
lol, Bloo....I've been there and I know what you're saying. Also...avoid mentioning Katharine if you want to get out alive! :-)
Morning fellow bloggers! My in-laws are STILL here.
kellyfan, I hope you've had plenty of rest cuz you have a BIG night in front of you!
Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving
Posted by: linnykat on November 27, 2007 9:11AM EST
Mornin' K!!!!! so nice to see you! Hope yours was wonderful as well :-)
Bloo, i've never managed to check out MJ; seems like timing has just always been wrong, or computer at home acting up... i'll remember the advice!!!
Val... guess that's what makes this world so interesting, and what keeps AI going.... I loved the song by Bo, myself! LOL! If we all had the same taste in music... there would BE no competition! ok well, not much, anyway *grin*
off to do the boss's bidding....see you guys later!

Yep had a great Thanksgiving. It was so nice to see the whole family together which hadnt happened since my sons wedding in September.

Hey D...and morning y'all!
I definitely got my rest in last night. Besides, by now, I'm just running on the excitement. I cannot wait for the show tonight! I'm sure Rodney will write an objective review, but I'll give you all my completely biased one tomorrow. LOL.
I saw DWTS last night…and it was pretty underwhelming. I was SO rooting for Mel B. to win it, but her freestyle left me disappointed. I mean, really, you’re a Spice Girl! Could’ve been so much better. As far as Marie’s, that was horrible, but I guess it did give her an excuse to be stiff. And it played into her fan base. Helio was the best freestyle, but that was an easy one.
All the talk about this being the most talented season, but that finale sure didn’t show it. It will be interesting to see who wins. I think it’s pretty much a toss up. I don’t know who should win. Before last night, I would’ve said Mel B…
Posted by: linnykat on November 27, 2007 10:23AM EST
I agree kf, last night WAS underwhelming, especially after the semi-finals last week! And I agree, before last night I was leaning toward MelB.... now I have to say Helio should win... but then, there is the "public" to consider and one NEVER knows what will happen.
I agree with Lenny that Marie's idea was clever, but the execution of the "doll" motif and choreography was lacking. She IS a performer, always has been, and always will be. So is Donny. I remember when he was about 3-4 years old (yes, i AM that old) and his older brothers, known as "the Osmond Brothers", would appear on Andy Williams' variety show.... Little Donny would come out and sit and sing with the big brothers, and his little eyes would follow the cameras, seeming to know every second WHICH camera was "on" ... it got to be a regular running joke, how long it would take for him to turn his cute little face to the correct camera....the cameramen would switch off suddenly, leaving him facing the wrong one, but usually only for about 3 seconds!
anywho... tonight's show should at least be entertaining for those of us who like that sort of thing!
ok...back to work! see you later!
Posted by: Deirdre on November 27, 2007 10:42AM EST
hey everyone...company is putting a serious dent in my ability to sit on the computer for hours at a time! :-)
I predict a Marie win. I think Mel B and Helio will divide the votes and Marie has the entire state of Utah voting for her plus the entire Osmond clan. It will be the most shocking win since Kelly Monaco cheated John O'Hurley out of the title!
Glad to hear that your Thanksgiving was great, KPH. I was too tired to enjoy the meal but everybody seemed happy so that's all that counts.
How will you get through the day, kellyfan???? :-)
