Randall Darius Jackson was a judge on American Idol from 2002 to 2013. The former bass player from the 70s/80s rock band Journey had a book of amusing quotes—quotes that made people ask the question “does he speak like this, or is it only for the show?”
Viewers found out quickly that this dialog was part of his regular everyday use. At times, it put his authenticity of a judge in question, but it added to the overall entertainment of one of the biggest shows ever to be seen on television. So, Dawg, let’s take a look back on some of his celebrated quotes.
10 “Seemingly Dark, Strange But Cool”
When something is foreign to someone and they do not know what to make of it, it is somewhat off-putting. But, as they settle down and take another look from a different perspective, they come to realize that it is okay. When American Idol judge Randy Jackson stated as one of his many quotes, “seemingly dark, strange, but cool,” the audience knew that it was all good. A little odd, but it certainly got the viewer’s attention and pleased the audience.
Sitting with panel Judges, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, and Mariah Carey, he tells a contestant on season 12 after hearing his performance, “seemingly dark, strange, but cool,” as the red-headed young male performer #5653 repeats it and laughs with him in Charlotte, North Carolina.
9 “I’m Like… What?”
What does it mean when someone starts a sentence but cannot finish it? On top of that, it ends in a question. Baffling, to say the least. But, if someone has ever watched American Idol, then that person is somewhat familiar with Randy Jackson’s phrase “I’m like… what?”
This usually happened when he was in disbelief of what he just witnessed, uncomfortably writhing in his seat. Like that of Steven Theon singing Bohemian Rhapsody, only to hear every other word as he tries to reach the high notes with one visible tooth.
8 “In It, To Win It”
Jackson, when pleased with a contestant or tried to hype up the audience, would always use the phrase “in it, to win it.” This was something that was said to give contestants credit for outstanding performances. For example, in season 10, Scotty McCreery broke out of his shell, singing “Gone.” As judge Steven Tyler told him that it was alright to dance with the devil sometimes, Randy piped in stating to McCreery, you are “in it to win it.”
7 “You Can Sing The Phone Book”
When someone is told that they can sing the phone book, what does that mean? No, it does not mean that they have no talent. Rather it is a compliment to singers whose voices are so exceptional—a declaration that they can sing anything. Or, to put it into layman terms, they can “sang.”
In season eight of American Idol semi-finals, Adam Lambert finished his third performance for the night. Viewers could barely hear Jackson over the ruckus crowd when he stated, “I said it once and I will say it again. You can sing anything. You can sing the phone book.”
6 “Yo, Yo, Dawg”
“Yo, Yo, Dawg” is another way of saying “hey, my dude,” or “hey, brother” or “brother man,” as the late great comedian Robin Harris so elegantly use to say. But, Randy had to be hip—or at least sound that way—to relate with the younger demographics and to communicate with the contestants standing in front of him waiting to be judged.
In the East Rutherford auditions in the show’s tenth season, a teenager waiting to get on American Idol for two years, got through the auditions strictly on personality. Dressed in a pretty pink outfit with matching shoes, before Randy Jackson could say it, she gave the peace sign and said, “yo, yo, dawg” that “brought the house down” and became an instant idol favorite.
5 “Check It Out, Dawg”
Randy’s favorite word has to be “Dawg,” and, no, not a dog as in an animal or pet, but “Dawg,” as in a partner, close friend, or buddy. It was probably his most overused word during his twelve-year tenure on the very popular TV show. So, when he touted, “check it out, dawg,” he wanted to get the audience’s attention because he is about to “exact some knowledge.” In other words, he is going to tell viewers something important and entertaining and insightful—well, at least it was to him.
4 “We Got A Hot One Tonight”
“We got a hot one tonight” was a phrase Randy Jackson often used to set the tone as the night performers or contestants began. It means the performer is blazing; the song choices were good, the outfits presented stardom, and their vocals were on point. They started the night with a blaze of fire, and, by the end, they have scorched everyone watching, burning a mental image of excellence, setting the stage, and forcing other contestants that followed take notice.
3 “Dude, You Were The Bomb”
“Dude, You were the bomb,” an often stated comment by Randy when he was blown away by a performance, and it did not matter if the contestants were males or females, they were his dude. Like he told Fantasia Barrino when she sang “A Fool In Love,” in 2007, Jackson ran out of things to say and simply stated, “dude, you were the bomb and I love you.”
It is a term of affection that validated both the performance and the performer. It means that they are all that and a bag of chips. Or, more simply put, they are someone special. It was usually followed up by a short soliloquy as he told viewers, “now we have a competition.”
2 “It’s A No For Me, Dawg”
When Randy Jackson has an undeniable “no” for contestants, it comes out in many forms. Usually, there is a lot of laughter as he looks up to the ceiling while the contestant is performing. He cannot quite gather himself as he trying to find the words.
Sitting next to Nicki Minaj as a contestant performed a Michael Jackson song with a black wig and a plastic thriller jacket, Jackson simply stated, as he so often did so eloquently, “It’s a no for me, dawg.”
1 “Pitchy!”
When a word is said so often, people believe that the word must be true, undeniably. Especially when it is heard by millions of Americans on national television every week. Therefore, when Randy Jackson used this word to describe contestants consistently high voices, it caught on like wildfire.
Pitchy! It means full of or abounding in sound. Or, as he told Jessica Sierra in season four, after her performance of “You Better Shop Around… It wasn’t an unbelievable song, it was pitchy here and there. It was okay for me.”
