From the Katwatch: Elite eight was reached with a landslide performance

When Kat Perkins made it to the top 10 for The Voice by singing the lyrics “ooh la la,” it was an obvious choice, said celebrities heading opposite teams, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
Then, when it came time to record a “save” and advance to the top eight on Tuesday night, Perkins did so by a landslide.
“If that won’t be good enough to let you win (the competition), I don’t know what will,” Shelton said of Perkins, who is from the Twin Cities and still has lots of fans in the Hudson area, where she used to perform.
Come crunch time, Perkins got a whopping 58 percent of the country’s phone-in vote to advance over two other singers. Such a last-chance “save” singer has never won the overall crown before, but Levine said it now is time. If you vote for her, he virtually guaranteed she will break the drought, move up by way of the back bracket, and win this season’s Voice contest.
Local fans noticed various nuances. It was a rival who early in the show did something more typical of Perkins and performed a Heart song. And the former nanny was back with piercings prominent, in the form of a nose ring, as she has switched around from performing with that kind of hairstyle and garb, to styles that are sexier such as short skirts.
As said by one of her contemporaries who plays Hudson, singer Amy M of the “Miniskirts and Mustaches tour,” Perkins is a small person with a big voice, originating from her big chest.

  • Sick of getting flyers in the mail, as many as five a day, and leaving no room in the box for the postman? Even if they happen to target a political interest of yours? I went through more than 100, so offer this synopsis, which got very detailed, as your primer for when you go to the polls today.
The divide in politics these days is not still as much left vs. right, it’s become the informed vs. the uniformed or downright ignorant, and by the flyers politicians put out, you can see they are catering to this predilection. So I propose a solution, though radical, as long as these days we’re throwing that word around all over the place even when it’s not merited, and it’s mentioned literally hundreds of times in Republican flyers across the state: If you are not going to educate yourself, don’t vote. If you think about it, this is very Darwin-ish. Another division, and it’s long....

  • Few inflatables? Just Chip away at the beyond-rigatoni-like-structured (Penne please?) them plastic bones? Halloween has come crashing to a sugary candied conclusion. But not before the alley cats were spooked, if they were not caught with their costumed tails between their legs, (no prizes), or by a pirate that’s DEPP-osed, (maybe.) Or, did Zappa do it? Double, double P. —– But hence, tomorrow is Election Day, and I will provide detailed coverage and how-to-fight-through-the-chaff analysis that will include the local polling numbers. You will see that much sooner here than in the local paper, as they do not staff elections firsthand.
Hark Halloween has been buried, as the big inflatables are now being sacked and stored — they were slowly being replaced anyway by some bigger creatures of all, very tall types and rounds lengths of plastic, currently used as the centerpieces, not the ones that often end up laying flat on the ground, strung out. As far as the bigger than gourds, such pumpkins were seen around town at the bars and antique shops, such as three of carefully chosen shades set in a triangle, of all different colors were the shapes painted on — they being squares and circles of...

  • We have not only zombies, (Thanks to the Cranberries), but Daylight Savings Time, on that day, to contend with come nightfall, as well as candy-defying, cheese-filled breadsticks that might as well be dipped in beer, or black garlic, if you’re not Drac, on this perfectly timed Halloween weekend. Waz Up all around town right now? Read down below with a summary that contends with it.
This Halloween is marked by a spot on the calendar that is truly unusual — it falls on a Saturday, which is the perfect timing just like a zombie suddenly sitting straight up in a coffin, so people can start with the decidedly black revelry already on Thursday, and take Friday off and then go out for a prelim that night, then celebrate the utmost on Vampire King Saturday, (see a summary of such activity below), followed by eat the candy you collected come Sunday. Then there is the Daylight Savings Day debacle, also falling that night. Do we party down for one...

  • My last-plate-appearance Takeaways from that latest title taken in the Titletown-Era area, and you can’t take anything away from MIlwaukee and its Brewers. They finally are on-par with teams like the Pack, long respected for Lambeau, with a dominating showing that started at American Family Field, now on the map nationwide because of their World Series win.
Where do we start? Like what scant space do you choose to squeeze into, if at the wrong sports bar, to get your Miller Lite or Leinies. Like the guy with the Brewer shirt and the cool closer-style-eyeglasses the day AFTER, who I told missed out on it by yes a day, and a pair of dollars if you were to check out something like the $6 special — or maybe it was for the Packers — of Leinenkugel’s Summer Shanty or better yet, Legacy Ale. Across the way were a odd-ball trio talking about the World Series going back to Game One,...

  • Were these arts patrons true Replacements? To be following their drummer’s art, and not (just) his music. To be mixing with those with Mohawks, and many with extensive drawings or logos on their coats themselves. Seems to blend well with the art groups of ghoulish figures, or other heads, displayed on canvas or in sculpture in front of them.
This night was an onslaught of arts patrons who would never go to an alternative rock arena show, mixing with fans like those sporting mohawks, or women with unreasonably short skirts, black seamed lines up the back of their stockinged legs, and nose rings. Mixing together well, and resembling what was on the paintings and other media in front of them. Chris Mars, now an award-winning artist after a ten-year stint with the also award-winning alternative group The Replacements, even as its drummer, was likely to be hit with questions aplenty about his activities with the band, artsy and also ambitious as far as...

  • This prophet said to the fan next to me, after a Final Game One out, Brewers in Four!?! Prior to that, businesses were putting up ladders around Hudson, to paint the town, to spruce up for the big game(s), home and away. Just like the Brew Crew’s win over Tampa Bay, first three games at least, was a stepping stone. (Bear with me, not Chicago, to the end of this also music and other mayhem post for some sports bar observations. Revamped since the start of the postseason. Since revamped again, with Brewers threatening early in Game Four.)
The polka fans are revving it up. Convenience and grocery stores, not to mention sports bars, that are sponsors of the Brewers are amping it up, too, even up here in Hudson, 300-plus miles away from Milwaukee. Three-hundred? Was that, in pounds, the playing-day weight of sluggers Cecil Cooper, or George Scott? Has it been that long? Will tonight be the swan song for that World Series foe from Florida, down by the bay, leaving it sitting by the dock, crying in its beer with Jimmy Buffett? No Marguerita-ville. Laturalis, if a Tool fan, since this is at its base,...
