#228 - country week

man, country week sucks, each time. maybe it's because i don't recognize a lot of the songs, or maybe because the songs themselves are junk. but man, two absolutely horrific performances (without tatiana involved), a ton of back-talk from the contestants, an ever-getting-more-over-the-moon-stoned paula by the minute, and absolute ridiculousness from all the judges and at least it made for a damn interesting show.

just a quick post because i just got back from dinner and i need sleep (man, i've really been trying to get more sleep but damn is it hard), but maybe i'll add more later... so here we go!

1. michael sarver - sucked. something about his brow kinda makes him look looney right? like, insane-looney y'know? maybe it's because his eyes are kinda far apart, i dunno, he just kinda looks like a vampire, a buffy-kind of vampire y'know with the bumpies? anyway, crap. no vote.

2. allison iraheta - i didn't like the song. i didn't really care for the way she sang it, but i still like her and i think she's got a great voice (not for this, but for other things) so i will still vote for her.

3. kris allen - okay, he may be slipping down the list of my top guys, but i still like this guy, and i thought this was a pretty great performance for him (notice i said "for him"), a little bit slow and dull, but good. and so i will vote for him as well.

4. lil rounds - good singer, fine song, predictable result. i'm not impressed enough to vote... sorry. but, didn't you love when simon called her "little?"

5. adam lambert - holy. crap. ......................................................... maybe if i don't write anything about it my brain will be tricked into forgetting it ever happened and then i won't wake up terrified in the middle of the night dreaming about burning pyramids and cross-dressers playing sitars that grow tongues and turn into snakes. like y'know when homer ate those guatemalan insanity peppers?

but, i will comment on the state of the judges. kara gave me hope at the beginning of her commentary with all the strangeness talk... but then she liked it? wtf? and paula is retarded so whatever. simon, thankfully has some sense (*line of the night "what the hell was that?"). but then randy goes and screws it all up by praising him? what is going on?

6. scott macintyre - okay, i think he's reached his vocal limit huh? sure, it'd be kinda cool to watch this guy play somewhere cause he's all blind and plays the piano very well, but there only so much farther he can go here really, he's just not that good a singer, i wish he was better, but too bad. no vote this time.

*no THIS was the line of the night:
paula: the piano might be a bit of a crutch now and that it separates you from the audience and i think that people need to see you as a showman as well
scott: we can move it closer

actually... for that line i WILL vote for him! ha!

7. alexis grace - man for some reason i just really do NOT like this girl. and i actually knew and liked this song (brooke white sang it last year and i really liked her performance of it), but i hated her performance. no vote!

8. danny gokey - now carrie underwood is one country artist that i do like. and while this version of her song wasn't that great, there's something very likeable about each of danny's performances. and this one wasn't even that good vocally, but i still liked it. huh. so i will vote for him.

9. anoop desai - again, something just likeable about his performances. and he sang well this time too, so i will vote for him also.

10. megan joy corkrey - EPIC FAIL! what the crap are the judges talking about?! holy crap that was awful, and i don't know how she managed to stick in that stupid washing machine dance into this song but it sucked! why do the judges like her so much? it was horrid! everything from her ridiculously pronounced words ("i go WAAking, in the MUUNlight") to her yoyo boobs it was horrible. NO VOTE!

11. matt giraud - this guy is moving up my top guys list for sure. great performance i thought, definately vote!

this week i think that michael, alexis, and megan should be in the bottom 3. the only reason why i'm keeping adam out of the bottom 3 is because, wtf, at least it makes things interesting (if not absolutely terrifying). but, is that who WILL be in the bottom 3? yeah right, since when does american listen to me (although they will once i am a nielsen company tv research home!)? so who do i think WILL get out? beats me, man, this season i have no idea...
