Racecar is to my left. Ariel is to my right, we are watching American Idol. As soon as the show actually begins, they both begin talking to me about things not related to American Idol. Have they no idea the importance of this show? I mean, c’mon.
Smokey Robinson has written over 4000 songs? How is that even possible?
Matt Giraud – Let’s Get it On – I really like this guy behind the piano and I totally agree that he has some Michael Bublis and Justin Timberlake in him, he still sounds pretty good, but he’s not my favorite, maybe he bores me. I do love his geeky look tonight.
Kris Allen – How Sweet It Is – I think Smokey Robinson is totally cute, I want to put him in my pocket. I kinda want to put Kris Allen in my pocket with him. I like this guy and his voice.
Scott MacIntyre – You Can’t Hurry Love - He has on pink pants. (does he know? I don’t know. Oh hush, it was an obvious joke.) He very much reminds me of Bruce Hornsby and that is not a good thing for me, it’s just his style of music, is all. I think he’s wonderful. But this performance is so over the top corny for me. I can hardly take it. Please end.
Oh thank God, Simon agrees with me and that means A LOT. Randy agrees, too. Paula is just so annoying tonight. The way she continues to disagree with the smart judges while they are speaking is so incredibly annoying. I sorta hope she hits herself in the eye with that golf ball ring that’s on her finger.
oh and he does know they are pink pants.
Megan Joy – For Once in my Life - When did she turn into a jazz singer? Who listens to jazz singers these days? I like her makeup, her her hair and her tattoo. I totally feel like I’m on a cruise ship. I should know, I’ve heard cruise ship singers before and this is what they sing like. That doesn’t mean she’s not a good singer…she’s just not an American Idol. k? I’m really happy that this performance is over.
When Paula says “the camera loves you,” she thinks you suck. That is your first lesson in Paula-nese.
Anoop Desai – Ooh, Baby, Baby – Is it me or does Anoop look cuter and cuter each week? He’s so velveety and MAN, he’s got quite a voice. I think he gets better and better. I adore him. But I am interested in how he’ll sound when singing a song with a faster tempo.
Michael Sarver – Ain’t to Proud to Beg – I can tell you already that he is totally OVER SINGING this song. Every chance he gets he seems to oversing. The throat singing is happening too often. MAKE IT STOP. Not a fan tonight.
NEXT!
Lil Rounds – Heat Wave – I am so not sure about her hair tonight. I know she’s stepping into character (right?) but I’m just not digging the hair, it’s like someone left a roller in too long on top of her head. To me she sorta sounds like she’s yelling at me and that’s not very nice. I’m not excited about this performance and I’m totally tired of this song. I’m pretty sad cause I love Lil.
I think Paula’s tutu is too tight.
And the moment I’ve been dreading…it’s Adam Lambert. I’m not even kidding you, when I hear he’s coming up next, I physically cringe. But here he is and I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.
First of all, I’m super glad that he’s not going to be screaming this week because that screaming is awful. I’m glad to actually HEAR his voice, which is good, because his voice really is good. But I have one thought…he totally looks like Robbie Rotten tonight.
Am I right or am I right?
Danny Gokey – Get Ready – Okay, here are my thoughts on Danny. First, he always sounds good. Always. But does it seem like he gives the same performance each week? Also, the little dance move with the singers at the end of the song was pretty cute.
Allison Iraheta- Papa Was a Rolling Stone – I so hope this performance does not disappointment me tonight, ILOVE this song and I LOVE Allison. I can not believe that she’s 16.
LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE SO MUCH. She is amazing. (and Paula has a mustache?) I need to go vote for Idol #10.
Bottom three? Megan Joy. Scott MacIntyre. Michael Sarver.
Who’s going home? Sarver.
Hey first one! Megan’s gotta go. Scott too…sorry. I like Michael but Simon is right..he’s not going to win. Sarver or Megan are gone tomorrow. I also agree about Danny. I think he is great but it does seem like the same performance as last week. Also, Simon and Paula just need to get it on. They are always so touchy and flirty. Simon is single and Paula is single. Get it on already!!
I agree with everything you said. Every word.
TOTALLY robbie rotten. tonight was the first time i could actually listen to him without fast forwarding. he makes me cringe, too.
i was disappointed in megan. though, she’s not my favorite, i like her. i said the cruise ship thing to matt!!! =)
I have to start commenting, I’m the only one in your world that likes Adam
I haven’t seen this show yet (I’m waaaay out of the loop), but love your recap.
Ok, so I’m ready to roll with my reflection photo but there’s no mr. Linky… oh yeah, it’s not Thursday yet in your part of the world.
Waiting patiently now.
waiting….
waiting…
waiting…
do I annoy you as much as Adam yet?
OMG. Robbie Rotten. THAT’S who he reminded me of last night! For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out who he looked like and you NAILED it!
I’m far more annoyed by Paula this season. She drives me batty. I hope Megan goes home – that performance last night was beyond painful.
I agree with all your comments. I think Paula ALWAYS disagrees with the new judge cuz she is jealous of her. Kara is a bitch though, have to say. Oh, I find Robbie Rotten SOOOOO annoying, but my kids love him!!
ImBeingHeldHostage …..
you’re not the only Adam fan…I am too!
I hope you are right about the bottom three and who’s going home for sure! And HA HA HA about the Robbie Rotten. I was trying to figure out who he looked like, and yep, that’s it! I also loved Paula’s new mustache, very becoming of her.
Oh my Heck! You are just so stinking funny! I just found you blog this week and I look forward to it daily! The idol thing is just so real! Love It!!
no comment on HOW Adam sang last night??? lol
His hair looked plastic.
I totally agree with your bottom three!
I thought I was the only one subjected to the creepy puppets in Lazy Town. It totally brings back memories of that equally creepy ‘Land of Confusion’ music video.
Robbie Rotten!
But seriously, I LOVED Adam tonight. The song I mean. The look, well, I think he was trying to look normal.
But the song, I had to rewind and listen again.
I totally agree with you on Allison, she is amazing.
And the pink pants. I thought I was the only person who noticed the pink – nay – SALMON pants. Yikes.
My bottom three are the same as yours. Sarver totally looks like my brother so I’ll give him some points for that. I’m tired of Megan ‘baseball boobs’ Joy. She can go now.
I cannot stand Adam but he pleasantly surprised me last night! Paula just gets weirder every show! I still don’t like Kara being on the show in addition to Paula–one should go! Anyway, thanks for blogging “live” I love your comments! Maybe you should replace Kara & Paula?!
Loved your recap! Agree with almost everything you said! Allison is by far my favorite, but I have to admit I kind of like Adam. He is weird but he does have a good voice! I think you called it right by the bottom three and who is going home…can’t wait for the results! Unfortunately I have to wait another 5 hours after you (time change) so I can’t get on the computer in fear of finding out results too early!
You are so spot on with Adam’s looks LOL I’m dying over here. I liked Allison and Adam the best this week because they were unique/awesome.
I bet you’re right about the bottom three and I think Sarver needs to go… he should have went last week.
We think you’re completely right about the bottom three and even the one that will be leaving. But you’re so wrong about Adam Lambert. He’s AMAZING!!!
BTW, we haven’t seen the results show yet but it’s recorded and we’ll watch it soon.
Robbie Rotten, oh ha ha ha ha! I’m losin’ it over here… (my breakfast, that is.)
I don’t care if you slick back his hair and put a suit on him he still freaks me out a little.
I’ve been an Anoop fan from the very beginning and Allison literally rocks!
OK, I have to agree with you on some but disagree on others…Your bottom 3 were spot on in my opinion (I didn’t see the results show so I don’t know). As a voice teacher I can tell you this- Allison will not last long vocally singing like that. She has great talent and style but she has so much vocal damage it’s not even funny. And she’s only 16. She’d better get some decent lessons to teach her to sing properly! I love the picture you compared Adam to…so funny! He’s got an amazing instrument, though, regardless of the times he misuses it. His performance this week was purely amazing from a vocal standpoint.
OK, there’s my 2 cents!
OMG Beth, I love Adam…I know, like most old fogies..he reminds me of a young Elvis. I love his voice but you are right, he does yell a lot. He is still my favorite, then Allison and Danny.
Ohhhh, Robbie Rotten. He’d probably love that! (Adam, I mean.) Honestly, last week I sorta kinda liked his rendition of Ring of Fire. It was very “Jesus Christ Superstar”, but it was absolutely unique. And I was a little taken aback when I heard he was going to do Tears of a Clown, a longtime family fave. It’s the first time the tune actually sounded as melancholy as the words. And Smokey was down with it.
Speaking of Smokey…is he not the sweetest man alive? Sparkly eyes and natural curls and toothy grin…I just wanted to eat him up. Ahem. I mean, he looks pretty good for his age.
Also – I am all about Allison, and her rendition was incredible. “A gift from God” I believe Kara called it.
