"Thankful To AI" Award (Week 2)



Okay, R2R is starting a new weekly award for the American Idol season. Every week we'll award one recording artist the distinction of being awarded the "Thankful To AI" for enjoying the greatest benefit of a performance of their song that week.

While not published, last week's winner was certainly Keane which saw its single "Somewhere Only We Know" rocket into the Top 20 of the I-Tunes Chart.

This week, the winner of "Thankful To AI" Award goes to Jason Mraz for "Geek In The Pink". The flop single got resurrected when JT-lite contestant Chris Richardson performed a lively albeit way overrated rendition of the song. Randy Jackson was on crack for thinking Chris blew the original out of the water. What Chris did do is garner interest again for an artist suffering a terrible sophomore slump.

Congrats Mr. A-Z!

Jason Mraz is a dufus and Chris was just okay. Blake was WAY better.
