Though this moment didn't have an actual performance, it did feature the men of Maroon 5, so we have to include. Not only are they mega-selling rockstars, their song catalog lends perfectly to food critiques (Was "This Love"? Or did the dishes make it "Harder to Breathe"?).
Unfortunately the band members and judges did not dine in swiveling chairs from Adam Levine's show The Voice. We would have really loved to see Curtis whip around in that thing.
Watching as LuAnn channeled her inner James Brown for this gem of a hit not only inspired us to sing, it also taught us important life lessons about behavior.
Not since 'Almost Famous' have viewers been given such a true glimpse into the lives of touring musicians. Now people understand the true hardships of the concert-playing lifestyle -- the lack of cigarettes and booze pitstops, the tiny beds, the massive fights over the treatment of your assistants -- that most musicians face on the road.
Maybe we're a little bit country (or is it rock 'n' roll?), but when Marie surprised Andy at the clubhouse we got a touch choked up. It might have had something to do with the fact that they sang "May Tomorrow Be the Perfect Day." Schmaltz alert!
Would any of us know who has the 411 if it wasn't for Jenni Pulos? Her ability to flow gave us the jam that soundtracks every night in the clubhouse. She'll always be the queen of "midnight fun" in our hearts.
Before she was "Tardy for the Party," Kim had a shaky start to her music career. Her first vocal lesson in preparation for a Dallas Austin session was a bit of a bust. But Kim didn't feel the pressure: "I don't know the basics of music. I don't need to. I'm a singer."
Proving that you don't have to be a Housewife to have a banging single, Simon slipped into a pair of his signature leather pants and dazzled the WWHL crowd (and clubgoers) everywhere with his illuminating anthem "I Am Real." Yes Simon, we are down with this Aussie.
Kim's come a long way from moaning off-key scales with her vocal coach in Season 1. But can Kim actually sing? Who cares! According to Kandi, becoming a singer and having a hit single are two verrry different things. Kim's dance anthem "Tardy for the Party" transformed from big joke to big hit, complete with a catchy hook and auto tone work that would blow T-Pain away.
OK, so her baby maybe didn't officially duet (especially since we didn't know she was with child until after the performance), but knowing now that Kim was seated because she was singing for two makes this performance so much more meaningful.
If you're a pregnancy concierge what do you look for in an assistant? Rosie Pope needed someone who could not only ensure the mom's to be were satisfied, but someone who could also put on a fierce performance with a coordinate song-and-dance partner
We had some (OK, a lot) of doubts about Platinum Hit's rap challenge. Could the songwriters really produce singles worthy of Rodney "Darkchild" (Na, Na) Jerkins. And then the skinny white boy from Brooklyn surprised us, with an operatic jam about walking through walls. Crazy -- but crazy enough to work.
