I know kat perez saw the other dance numbers at her taping weeks ago, but IIRC I think the Katie Holmes thing wasn't included in that.

Also, wow, was that Katie Holmes number overhyped for what it was.

But her costume was sure pretty! The white one from the taped bit on the street.

I think that it was supposed to be an homage to Judy Garland, who wore something similar.

you should catch it on youtube, the original version was much better, IMO.

Yeah, the camerawork has gotten so whack over the seasons and it really showed in that number.

I really wish they had DVDs of previous seasons.

I just managed to finally sit down and watch Thursday's show. SO sad Jeanette is gone, sniff. And can't believe Brandon was in the bottom and not EVAN. Eek.

I wondered about the camera work on RamaLama because I was thinking "is it that I've seen it a million times, or is there something else affecting my enjoyment here? Maybe the lighting and camera??"

I totally wish there were more old routines in the 100th ep show, I was suprised there weren't. Sad.
