CD Giveaway - Phil Wickham, "Cannons"
Ends Aug 3, 2010
With an opening shot that hits the sonic pinnacle, this collection of spiritual Brit pop/rock is heavily influenced by Keane, Travis, Coldplay, and U2.
And the loser is:
Last week, when host Anthony Clark was supposedly announcing the bottom three on Comic, the info was nowhere to be found. Somebody slipped up somewhere. Get a grip, buckos.
I have been wracking my brain for weeks to figure out just who it is that Chris sounds like. Obviously he looks like Gene Wilder, but that voice has still escaped me until Clark steps out on stage. Aha! That’s Chris’ voice. It’s almost uncanny.
Clark has not worn pink and even tells a joke, albeit a lame one. So how do you fill an entire hour with one “going home” announcement and 4 five-minute routines? First of all, you bring out another comic, preferably from another season of Comic. Geez…how about some music?
Time to announce who is going home and I am hoping the habitual reality show recaps will be missing. They are, but of course the drum roll/tensional build-up is not.
Bu-bye Roz. I guess her screeching last week was a trifle over the edge. She was very gracious and is truly one class act. I hope she continues to put humor in her motivational speaker’s career as well as continue to entertain audiences wherever she goes.
Michelle, the veteran, is up first. She is so comfortable in front of an audience. This always shows through when she performs. She’s not hilarious, but her jokes about the airlines, dating, and aging are moderately funny and I almost smile. But then, I am a tough sell for comedy.
My fave, Josh is next and I grin just watching him come on stage. He is a sweetheart, don’t you think? (Okay men, how about cool?) He talks about his experiences with the Paralympics in Greece. He truly is doing more for that organization than any commercial venture or public service announcement ever could. And he does it with humor, which makes it all the more admirable. The audience gives him a standing ovation and I am chuckling throughout his performance.
Ty, I hope you did some homework and they let you watch the last show. He was so nervous that I think it really hampered his performance. This week the Chicagoan is pumped up and yet relaxed and does much better. I loved his “will wack for fud” joke. Kudos, and standing ovation number 2.
Last, but not least, as Clark has now said for the second time, is Chris. His Costco casket (or costket, as he puts it) bit is quite comical. Unfortunately, he is sweating beneath that suede jacket. This is not a good sign for the front two rows and anyone at home, but he also receives the coveted standing ovation.
A final stretch for time with a recap of the comics’ routines and preliminary results from the voting so far. This time it works and Clark apologizes for last week’s gaffe. That’s what hosts are for. I am really not surprised about Michelle being on that list, but I think Chris’ jacket may have helped place him in the bottom two. I hope he thinks seersucker next week.
