#226 - michael jackson show

welcome to bizzaro-world! i skipped the weekly american idol post (because i was watching it at kristen's house) and kathleen posted instead! what is going on?! haha, well, i actually wasn't going to post, but after reading the beginning of kathleen's post I had to get my two cents in right?

so, i'm about to watch the results show, but before i do let's see if i can get a little of my last night's comments in... but first... three things:

1. paula is on crack and should shut the hell up
2. randy also needs to shut the hell up and stop boo-ing simon (he's the only one that does it anymore, simon gets the biggest cheers of out of the 4 of them)
3. just let paula fall backwards in her chair and scoot kara over to replace her (finally) and then we'll be all square

so, here we go:

1. lil rounds - of course everyone's gonna pick this generic song. but even though i thought she sang the notes well, didn't it sound slow? like she was slightly holding off a little bit, it made the whole thing sound really forced, strained. i didn't like it, but i think she should make it to the later rounds at least. anyway, no vote.

2. scott macintyre - well, whaddyaknow? the guys starts to grow on you eh? i kinda liked his little piano playing song. i have no idea what the song was, but it was good for him (notice i said "for him," let's not get carried away). he might be okay after all (plus, tonight we'll get to see him to the group dance and count how many times he almost falls off the stage, ha). anyway, i'll vote for him.

3. danny gokey - p.y.t.? really? what a horrible horrible song! haha, but y'know what, in his own dorky way it was pretty good. fun to watch definately and so i will vote for him.

4. michael sarver - why the crap would you pick the creepiest song in the entire world to sing on national television? eww... anyway, it was totally bland, he's totally bland. i'd put him in my bottom three or however many they have now. no vote.

5. jasmine murray - EPIC FAIL! i know why i don't care for her so much, she looks exactly like a client i have. this client has rhetts syndrome and only says "bababees" and "mamadoo" and has this creepy-ass smile plastered on her face all the freakin time. like in the horror movies you'd be washing your face in the bathroom and when you look up in the mirror there she is behind you wringing her hands together and smiling all eerie-like and scary. this jasmine girl has that same plastered-on smile, she has absolutely no expression, and she sings the same way, all one note. blah, she can definately go home already, no vote.

6. kris allen - aw man, what a crappy song to pick. although i think he salvaged it into a performance that i could actually listen to, cause i do like this guy. kara was right, he does have a jason mraz-y thing going for him that's pretty cool. horrible song, and horrible half-smile whilst singing, but i like him enough to vote for him.

7. allison iraheta - now this girl i like. didn't recognize the song but i thought she did the best of everyone tonight. totally vote.

8. anoop desai - aah anoop. beat it? really? sigh. well, it was fun... to laugh at. haha, oh man he's in trouble, but i think enough people like him to vote out of sympathy. i mean, just look, he's such a dork, total underdog right? we can relate yes? yes, he gets my vote.

9. jorge nunez - y'know this whole season i think has been about me wanting the not-so-great singers to be able to sing better (like anoop) and the already-have-a-good-voice-people wanting to tank (like tatiana and this guy). i mean, yeah he actually does some good things with his voice, but he's just so creepy. i'm sure he's probably a pretty nice guy, but such a junk performance. no vote.

10. megan joy corkrey - oh come on, what do the judges see really? that entire performance was just an excuse to wear a red dress and do her washing machine dance. seriously, does anyone else think she looks like she's going to the adult entertainment expo? you think the judges would like her if she didn't have that sleeve tattoo? no vote!

11. adam lambert - holy crap i'm scared. *mommy.* for real. now THIS is what would be in a horror movie. no vote!

12. matt giraud - yes i like him. still too much justin timberlake, but he picked a good song (who even remembered that michael jackson sang that song?) and he performed very well. he gets my vote.

13. alexis grace - oh i so called it that she would sing dirty diana. i actually really like that song but REALLY didn't like her singing it! who is voting for her? does anyone else think she looks like sharon osborne? no vote!

so what is this big judges' twist? you think they're gonna make it like so you think you can dance? take the bottom three, make them "sing for their lives" and then the judges decide who's out? that would suck. i like that it's completely and solely based on the voting. what would competition be without the upsets? there's nothing wrong with that, i like it even. what i don't like is keeping crappy people in forever, like sanjaya (or scott savol, remember him? american idol rewind is on season 4 now, haha). what if there were like a judge veto, like they could just oust someone anytime if they thought they're hanging on too long? haha, that probably wouldn't go over too well... oh well, we'll see.

so here's my new ranking so far:
1. danny gokey
2. allison iraheta
3. kris allen
4. matt giraud
5. lil rounds
6. anoop desai
7. scott macintyre
8. adam lambert
9. jorge nunez
10. michael sarver
11. megan joy corkrey
12. alexis grace
13. jasmine murray

wow, the girls are tanking this year huh? it's already 8 to 5 for the guys and they've got ALL the momentem too. really the only girls that stand a chance are lil and allison, and even then i think it'll be a stretch for them to withstand all the different good-singing guys.

okay so now i'm watching the results show.... ah, a judges' save. i like it. one for the entire season? interesting. good twist!

so jasmine's out? good. riddance. no save. man she's still completely expressionless huh? oh, okay, now she's crying, a little too late for that i think! okay, let's trim some more fluff...

kanye west? seriously? does the guy's head even fit coming through that american idol sign? wow, he sucks live too. can i vote him off?

WHOA! kelly clarkson got fat! haha, not that it's a big deal, i mean, i don't care too much when celebrities get fat (cause normal people get just as fat) because she still sings awesomely, but now it's kinda like watching Heart, y'know, big chicks belting power songs awesomely (except heart has an excuse cause they're old), but not being able to rock it out on stage (or even move around on stage?). i mean, yeah i guess it was like 8 years ago when she was on idol so i guess that's what happens when you get older huh? but she's not that old right? oh well, i'm glad that they're gonna bring back actual idol contestants, let's just hope that it's more kelly clarksons and no taylor hicks's y'know?

so anoop and jorge huh? good thing it was jorge, i don't think the judges would've saved anoop. by the way, this new twist gives tons of meaning to the "last song" y'know? like they've got one last chance to impress (except while simon and randy are discussing paula's up dancing like a stoned retard). good move idol.

okay, so next week hopefully another good theme, no more beatles and all that other old crap, let's keep it current.

ps - joe moore said on the news that the last contestant's voting number was not IDOLS13 because that number was an adult phone line! haha, so imagine all these little 13 year old girls calling in for alexis and accidentally charging their parents $4/min each time!
