When Idol’s Disco Week was announced, there was some confusion as to whether Harry Wayne Casey—you may know him as K.C. of K.C. & The Sunshine Band—would be a mentor or just a performer. We can think of a few good reasons KC didn’t give his two cents on Tuesday.
- Clips of Quentin Tarantino shaking his fist at contestants might be why Movie Week took so long despite the “only two judges speak” experiment.
- While most of the songs were disco, only Lil Rounds did a disco version. KC would have felt shunned.
- Did you hear that dude’s voice last night? OMG.
Ok, that last reason doesn’t hold up. Tarantino’s no great shakes vocally, and they still let a portly and poorly dressed KC end the otherwise enjoyable “disco medley.” Why did they let this guy get out from behind his keyboard? Judging from some clips we found, he’s never been much of a live singer.
