Idol Tuesday...
American Idol Tuesday with special guest coach JLo...eh, latin night never does it for me, so i am not expecting much from this gang. here are my thoughts...
1. hey, is that Mickey Dolenz in the audience?!?!?
2. Melinda - arg...Melinda, stop being so damn old! Dolittle is doinglittle to impress me. she sounded quite old...of course, her voice was good, but not very exciting. glad to see simon finally tire of her same old shtick. maybe this will light a fire under her to try something new...she sounds even older than Taylor Hicks - there is something wrong with this!
Song Choice: C-
Performance: B
3. Lakisha - lakisha was swallowed by the cleavage monster! i was surprised and excited about her choice of conga. i don't know why these people think they can walk and sing at the same time. she showed no range in the song... i need to hear her sing in the upper register more!
Song Choice: B+
Performance: B
4. Chris R. - stop the vocal runs!! i am sick of them! stop it! of course, choosing "Smooth" was first-rate. but it didn't sound as manly as rob thomas. and you know there's something wrong with that!!
Song Choice: A
Performance: B+
5. Haley - sneaky minx to pull Blake into her video segment...nope, people still remember that it's Haley. actually, Gina was going to sing "Turn the Beat Around" if she hadn't been eliminated. it probably would have been just as trainwrecky, but at least it wouldn't have been so phony, shiny and sleazy. i can see it now in idol concerts all over the country: "Now, Haley Scarnato!" [shuffling masses of people going to the snack bar] simon, stop paying so much attention to her - she doesn't deserve the attention! arg, her screentime is going to lead to phil's downfall!!!!!
Song Choice: B+
Performance: D
CORRECTION: Gina wasn't going to sing "Turn the Beat Around", she was going to sing "Everlasting Love", that other Estefan Latin hit.
6. Phil - another Santana song from the 00's? this song stinks. arg, take that ridiculous hat off, phil. actually...his voice songs pretty good in this song, despite having vocal diarrhaea (too many runs). whoa! santana guitar wannabe messed up! fire his ass! he's just like gina...takes notes pretty well, but is a layer behind the front-runners. ugh, stop pandering to the audience phil...ugh, you're not josh gracin! stop buttkissing to the audience. you were not in iraq - i am not buying this!!!
Song Choice: C
Performance: B
7. Jordin - she's pretty dorky. and her makeup artist gives her the evil eyebrow. she did make this song her own, which is a good thing because i can't stand this song. an original performance - i would put my money on her to win it all...she is the one who is taking this competition by the horns and shape-shifting every week.
Song Choice: B
Performance: A-
8. Blake - you cannot sing this song! i would love to look at your throat during this song, no range!! this is an excellent choice for song. someone wants blake to go all the way because he got a different microphone, complete with echo, than the other contestants. i STILL don't get the blake! this song vastly improved over its course, but do i want to hear him on the radio? with original material? hell no!
Song Choice: A+
Performance: B+
9. Sanjayjay - did he draw on a mustache?!?!?!? GREAT song choice, a classic with real soul. LOUDER, SANJIYA! LOUDER!!!!!! he looks like one of the musketeers. does no one tell this boy how to project?!?!? he CANNOT practice without a mic. we know he has a sweet voice, but i cannot hear him!!! sanjiya, shave that thing!
Song Choice: A
Performance: he will not get kicked off
i predict PHIL to go home, with HALEY and CHRIS R. in the bottom 3.
