American Idol
Miley Cyrus? Really? Talk about someone who can't sing.
Lee
Not a fan, really, but people are going to love this I think. I don't do the gravel thing. Can he sing? Eh, he's all right, but I'm still a meh overall. What the hell song is this?
Paige
Oh my god, this is the worst song I have ever heard on American Idol including Danny Gokey's horrifying shriek last year. Yes, I've only watched one other season, but this was just--wow. Weep-worthy. And after the judges told Katie that they didn't want her singing something they'd hear in the dentist's office, 17-year-old Paige goes and picks Phil Fucking Collins????? Honey, whoever is giving you advice is a bad, bad person who secretly has it out for you. At this point the rest of the group doesn't need to sing really well, they just need to sing better than Paige. Yikes.
You know, actually Miley seems to be giving good advice.
Tim
Well now hey there Paige, you just may be in luck here! WHY is this guy in the top anything? HE CAN'T SING! He can't even sing, like, the easiest song in the world, which would be this one. Crazy Little Thing Called Love--Simon questioned why it was a Billboard #1. It was a Billboard #1 because it was by QUEEN! God, this song just shows how truly, truly untalented he is.
Aaron
He has tonsilitis? Good lord, what are they, on the cruise ship of death? Oh, and he's a fan of Miley Cyrus? Well, I guess he is 16. Wow, i have no idea how he's belting this out through that throat. God, my heart weeps for your vocal cords. But I can't say he was bad. I actually think he did pretty well, all things considered. Certainly sang circles around Tim. Oh, the judges are all blah blah good pitch blah blah--dude HE'S HAD VOCAL TRAINING. And quite frankly, they all should at least be at that level. I'm looking at you, Tim.
Crystal
Janis Joplin, of course. Wow, seeing Crystal and Miley together is horrifying. She signed her guitar? Crystal, what is wrong with you??? I'll tell you what's NOT wrong with you---your performance! I am 100% sold on Crystal (you're welcome, Jen). Oh, I actually like what she's done with this. I was kind of expecting a straight up Janis here but this is awesome. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Dude, I'm totally with Simon on this--I wouldn't change a thing either. Crystal is a complete package here, and it's one I love.
Michael
When A Man Loves A Woman--omg, I'm going to vomit. no, wait, I'm actually vomiting. Dude, you are so--I don't know--GENERIC! He's just so boring. I'd love him to pick something unpredictable. Well, actually I'd like him to go home, but he's not going to, so that would be my next choice. I think Randy is right in that Michael knows who he is, which is BORING. Oh hey, Kara agrees with me! Lounge-y is totally right.
Andrew
Heard it through the Grapevine? What are you, a raisin? Well, maybe he's too young for the raisin thing? Oh, Miley took the guitar. Oh look! It's karaoke night! Ha--Kevin just said from the kitchen, "Wow, who do the judges have to blame for all of these bad singers?" Not a good song. Not a good choice, not a good performance, not a good anything. He really is chasing that moment, as Kara said. He's gone downhill ever since. Well I agree that he is far from Straight Up, but he tried to recreate it with the Christina Aguilara and it didn't work. Simon is right, I think that "moment" was overrated. OH YEAH! Simon just said, "you sucked the soul out of that song." Hear Hear!
Boy, it's really a race to the bottom this week. And Ryan seems to be really behaving here. Someone must have had an off-camera talkin' to.
Katie
katie, I love you, don't mess up. Big girls Don't Cry? You know I love you Katie, but I think this song is still a little sleepy here, but we're closer than the adult contemporary. Okay, now she's getting better as the song goes on, and actually she's making it sound younger as she goes on. I like this, actually. A little sharp in places, but overall, I think she's finally getting into her groove here. Why do all of these contestants have pitch issues? Ugh. Anyway, overall like, but tonight sucks.
Now I've stopped watching it live, so this may not be in order.
Casey
I don't like you. And I don't like this song, even though it's from my era. Simon was entirely correct--The Power of Love by Huey Lewis was not a contemporary song back then and it's not a contemporary song now. What are the other judges talking about, that he made it his own? Dude, not only is it Karaoke night on AI, his voice sounds just like Huey Lewis. You know--so many of these contestants just totally lack facial expressions. It's like Casey had botox on his forehead or something. I mean, feel free to show a little something here people. Ick.
Didi
Bad name, bad mom and dad! Anyway, the You're No Good I actually kinda like here. It's stuck in my head, so at least it's catchy. I see what the judges are saying about how it looks like she's playing a character, but I'm glad that at least she has some expression on her face.
Siobhan
Good God, I am so over you. The shrieking thing is not good and I don't know why people keep saying it is. I'm with Simon--actually I've been with Simon pretty much all night, which is odd. But yes, it's all about the screech at the end. She talked in her little talking head thing about being different and yes honey, we get that. The hair, the stupid-ass glasses, we know you were the shy, quiet one who got teased at school for being different, but girl, you are not helping yourself there. You're trying too hard. Plus again, she speaks so slowly it drives me crazy. Not a fan. Not a fan at all. Siobhan, here's a rabbit all for you:
Bottom 3:
Paige
Tim
Lee?
Going home--if Paige doesn't go home, then this contest is totally rigged.
I'm so bummed you all are not watching this :(
