A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN, AND . . . JON SECADA? Project Broadway's duets week didn't particularly move me -- the only particularly noteworthy performance was Austin and Laura's, and I don't know what the heck was going on with Derrick's voice. Only one of the bottom four was at all surprising, and I hope that her unimpressive duet this week doesn't get her eliminated. Even the group number was kind of boring -- "Hand Jive" isn't one of the highlights of the Grease catalogue. I did like one of the relatively minor differences between this show and AI: the gossipy clip segment about who gets along with whom, who's flirting with whom, and who's the person everyone else can't stand. (Smarmy Kate, we're looking at you!) Oh, and in case there was any question remaining, no one is picking their own songs.
