NICE JUDGE ON 'AMERICAN IDOL' HAS HAD IT UP TO HERE: Randy Jackson says perfomers are boring him. (May 14, 2003)
*Being a celebrity judge on "American Idol" used to be an enjoyable event for Randy Jackson-the black dude who used to be the antithesis to the carnivorous style of Simon.
But now Jackson tells TV Guide that he's getting tired of the mediocrity. "American Idol" heads into its last two weeks, judge Randy Jackson says he's "bored" by the performances of the final few contestants.
"These kids are singing terribly," Jackson tells TV Guide. Jackson realizes that on the air in recent weeks, he has appeared irritated and out of character. And he recognizes he's becoming the show's new Simon Cowell - "Idol's" blunt and bossy judge.
"In the last couple of weeks, people have been telling me: 'Dude, you've gotten so mean,' No, I'm just bored," he says. Jackson does not explain what he means - or if any contestant in particular seems to be bothering him.
In the same article, Cowell also said there was something amiss about the final weeks of this competition compared to the first show.
"I miss the showmanship of Justin [Guarini] and Tamyra [Gray]," Simon says. "I think some of these contestants have tried too hard to play it safe."
I didn't actually feel that way until last night, so I can understand where Randy is coming from. I dunno, I think everybody was kinda havin' a not-so-good night. However, I enjoyed Clay's performance the best when he sang, "Mack the Knife".

Of course she made it home in time to watch the rest of it--lol. 
with his, "Yo dawg." Or "Hey dawg."
