I'm kinda feeling an urge to defend Michael Cagle, but I'm not going to.
As one who considers herself to be a fan of Michael, I know that it was
not one of his better shows, and I know he can do much better. This year
his show was "ok", but did not have the Charles Atlas Seal Of Approval.
I don't know what happened, or what didn't happen. I know there were
some technical problems (when the piano on the track for "Memory" sounds
like sleigh bells, you just suck it up and let the show go on) and it
was my observation that he didn't connect with the audience like he has
in the past.
It seems to me like those who had never seen Michael before enjoyed the
show better than those who had. Maybe we're just spoiled. :)
If there are to be peaks, they must also be valleys, and about all I can
say is that he had a bad night. I haven't done the tally for EOTY yet,
but I do think it will be a challenge for him this year, unfortunately,
because he does normally put on a very good show, and our group has
always liked him.
