Joel Collins went 1,6,1 in DI finals. He should have won hands down. Blake Bullock went straight 2's.
He also went straight one's all day in DDA. DAMN!
Sorry, I've watched him all season and have never gotten tired of it. He was sooo good! Like the best I've ever seen. I can't velieve he didn't make state. Worst final results I've ever seen.
I never understood how anyone could get 1, 6, 1 in finals. (I mean, I know the why behind it, but I wish I knew why 2 judges loved a piece and another thought it deserved a 6.) It's intriguing, perplexing to think of where that disconnect happened to get a 6 amid 1's. I'm sure the judge had good reasons (hopefully reflected on the critique sheet so it was not a total "huh?" moment). But still. I wish could pull a "Being John Malkovich" to understand that difference in thought. Hmmmm.
yeah...i'm actually a friend of joels and saw his di in DGS finals. his 6th place ballot was soooooooooooo weird! he explained to me what it said....
so his di was about tennessee williams who was a famous playwright who was an alcoholic. tennessee williams was a REAL person. joel used a completely different voice like he lowered his voice really really low and changed the way he looked to look like an old man. it was weird but really cool! i guess the judge who gave him the six thought the drinking was unnessesary or something which makes NO sense considering tennessee williams was a real person and REALLY WAS an alcoholic. like apparently it ruined his life. the judge didnt like his gestures too i think. that bugs me a lot because his gestures were so natural. they were real and definitely not planned out. real peoples hand gestures aren't perfect. they aren't pretty. ESPECIALLY an old alcoholic. they would be kind of rough and not polished. it just makes sense. save your polished clean completely planned out hand gestures for original oratory. di is about down to earth real characterization. yeah di's should have a message and everything but its still an interp event. just because its not "polished" doesnt mean its not good. if every person on the planet starts to have "polished" hand gestures during their normal every day life then yeah, that critique would make sense. that is the only thing that comment could be referring to anyways. his characterizaion was mind blowing. his transitions, delivery of words, and everything stucturally was very very clean. just his REALISTIC hand gestures were not. :/
thanks for that explanation. i wish i could have seen his di of Williams...it sounds really fascinating! is there a video of it somewhere on the interwebs?
hahahahahaha. Anyone remember how like EVERYONE in the cafeteria was talking about him? god that would be so awkward..
