The poetry of 'American Idol' judge Randy Jackson

154541__randy_lRecently, PopWatch treated you to an item about the pure poetry of Paula Abdul‘s American Idol critiques. But — yo, yo, yo, dawg — it wouldn’t really be fair to judge Randy Jackson if we didn’t point out that his contestant evaluations are pretty elegiac, too, at least when directly transcribed into verse form. Here’s a sampling of R. Dawg’s works from Tuesday night’s performance show, complete with PopWatch-approved titles:

But how did you really feel about Chris Daughtry?
Yo, yo.
Yo, yo.
Amazing, amazing.
Loved the jacket.
Loved you.
Amazing.

This is how you start a positive review of Elliott Yamin?
Yo, baby, Elliott
So check it out, dawg
Elliott
So check it out, man
I hated
Check it out
Did not like the arrangement

Mixed messages for Paris Bennett
I thought it was pretty good
I mean, I’m not saying I was blown away
But I liked it
I wasn’t over-the-top about it
But I liked it

Confusion and Taylor Hicks
Yo, Taylor, man
I don’t know what’s goin’ on, man
I don’t know if it’s me tonight or whatever
But dude, that was completely the wrong song
For me
For you
I didn’t get it
It wasn’t half as good as the original
It felt like weird karaoke to me
I don’t know what’s happenin’ here
I don’t know what’s goin’ on here

    You should go back to Paula haiku.

  • GOB

    Randy needs a vocabulary.

  • pfitz

    This works better as “poetry” than the Paula comments.

  • Stephanie

    Yep, Randy needs a vocabulary. However, it could have been worse. He could sound like “Deputy Dawg” and say that the bad Idols stepped in the “Creek Mud”.

  • Ep Sato

    Oh man, ya’ll are making me really miss Nipsy Russell.

  • Charlotte

    It’s no fair rhyming ‘yo’ with ‘yo’ a dozen times.

  • Annie

    Randy Jacksons lack of proper english is so bad he is ebonicly challenged.

  • JJ

    he’s really getting on my nerves. and so is paula. i’m convinced they’re both on a different planet. i mean your on the number one show in the world and that’s the best you can come up with? judges from skating with celebrities made better critiques. no wonder the contestants have been so inconsistent this season.

    See, I thought Paula’s worked better as poetry- these sound more like song lyrics. Seriously, try the Elliot one to the tune of the Idol producers’ favorite song, “Bad Day”. It almost kinda works!

    I know it’s old stuff but it’s so funny. You are funny, Micheal Sk.
