He watched the rest of the season that way. Every Tuesday, like clockwork, he'd search for the HDCAM release. He saw Sisaundra Lewis blow the roof off with "Oh Sherrie" through a wobbly, out-of-focus lens. He saw Blake Shelton crack a joke that got muted on the official feed, but here, in the raw theater audio, he heard the punchline.
