Once again another example of how bad this show can be even with a brilliant musical number such as "Can't Let Go". I don't know where to start because most of the episode was bad. Firstly Sheryl Lee Ralph playing Veronica's mother Cynthia just was not good and her scenes opposite Derek were just awful to watch, the character is just a poor attempt at trying to be Mama Rose. Anjelica Houston has never been one of my favourite film actors and now it's just laughable to watch her on the show and one of the worst scenes the show has done was Nick coming back to Eileen and Houston seemed to fon it in too much. Julia is insufferable on the show and every week they don't know what to do with her and once again she becomes too over the top. Then the last thing to the episode was the two inspiring song writers Jimmy and Kyle not getting what they want and now facing rejection well. Once again the episode was bad with some awkward musical numbers with only the final performance by Hudson maybe being a saving grace to the episode. Hudson needs off the show quick and the show must go into non existence.
EPISODE GRADE: D (MVP: Jennifer Hudson)
