The Disco Medley Takes the Stage, And...

9:23 We’re back…Did Ryan actually just say, “Wha’s up?”…Ryan introduces Freda Payne, who does “Band of Gold”…Did she forget the words to her own song?…This is frightening…If she was a contestant, Simon would totally trash her…Even Paula is laughing…Okay she is too old to be doing those bend things in front of the audience. Apparently, she thinks she’s a Pussycat Doll…She introduces Thelma Houston to sing “Don’t Leave Me This Way”…She sings directly to Simon, but the camera does not cut to him…Now it does and he smiles…It wisely didn’t cut to him during that other performance…This is much better, but why do these women think they’re young girls?...She sings to Simon again. Is she trying to get him to sign her to a record deal or does she just want to go out with him?...The crowd cheers much more for her…She introduces KC…He comes onstage with some dancing backup singers and other dancers to do “Get Down Tonight”…Okay, I have to say that is not what I was expecting…The director keeps cutting away from that one dancer that’s shaking her groove thing a little too much…Simon seemed to have liked it, but that was probably because of the dancing girls…Break…
