The judges enter, and Paula looks disturbingly solid on her feet.
Oilrigger: It sounds just like a country song! Or a Ford F150 commercial, at least. I don’t think it did anything to show off his voice, but he’ll probably sail through to next week.
Allison Iraheta: Wow. That really sounds like a country song. Do not like. But her voice sounded great. Oh goodie, Paula is starting to look teary and incoherent. Her speech makes me think she’s letting her down already: don’t worry you that you won’t win, you will have a career in the music business. Randy thinks it’s DOPE! Why can’t Randy always be this succinct?
Tender dawg: This doesn’t sound like a country song to me. It’s just boring and his voice sounded weak in places. I prefer him dancing behind a guitar he’s fake-playing. And Simon seems to have a man-crush on him. Huh. Why do all of the judges love this?
Local news is featuring a story on how an XBOX almost lost a family their lives.
Li’l Rounds: This felt off to me. Paula is complimenting her outfit: DRINK!
Jazzy Hands: Randy Travis’ discomfort with him is awesome. Back away from the boy in the nail polish. Okay, this is crazy and awesome. And his vocal control is fantastic. Please tell me he is going to sing Jeff Buckley at some point this season, because I think he could do him justice. The swaybots have to be completely confused at this point. He evokes Freddie Mercury for me, just because he’s not afraid to tackle crazy arrangements.
How great does Paula’s rack look tonight?
Blind guy: Booooooooooooooring. Uh oh, Paula and Simon are fighting. They’re totally sleeping together.
Alexis: I love this song. Why do they even let them start on the stairs? So cheesy. This was alright.
Dead wife: Blech. Really, Paula? Brilliant? I disagree.
Anoop! I like him. I’m voting for him, and I don’t care what anyone says, la la la! I thought he kind of killed this.
Tweaker: Wow, Randy Travis just loves everything. As long as it’s not being sung by a gay man wearing nail polish. She sounds someone trying to imitate a Jamaican accent. This is awful. Holy god, I think Randy is wrong: this was a train wreck. Ohhhh, she has the flu. I don’t sound like a Jamaican when I have the flu. Perhaps she's has some exotic variety.
Local news story teaser about an autistic boy who “nearly got crushed in a garbage crusher.” Maybe he was playing Xbox prior to that?
Matt Giraud: Nice. Forgettable, for me.
I thought Randy Travis looked like a cross between Lyle Lovett and David Lynch. LOVED his comment about Jazzy Hands/Anime Hair...blahblahblah male nail polish blahblahblah. Poor sheltered country bumpkin. I loved his freaky Ring of Fire - he was dipping his foot in David Cook territory. Well played.
ReplyDeleteI thought Oil Rigger would go home for sure. I am SHOCKED...SHOCKED I tell you.
I was SHOCKED... SHOCKED too -- I always get upset at this point, when they're sending better people home and leaving crappy people (I'm looking at you, Blind Guy). I keep telling myself it doesn't matter what order the filler Idols go home in, but it still annoys me.
ReplyDeleteAdam rulz!
Okay, so it's official: We all like Anime Goth Jonas. He F'd the circling camera with his eyes, too... DRINK!
ReplyDeleteI thought Blind Boy was boring, but Wife Killer was actually kind of offensively goopy. Entertainment Weekly has him picked to go all the way -- blech, I hope not.
Tender Dawg looks like the love child of Hal Sparks and Jason Mraz. That's not a bad thing.
Yes, Paula's rack could host its own show if it could consistently draw that much viewership.
I thought Blind Guy or Tweaker would go home. Shows what I know. Who do we want at the end??
Adam, Allison, Lil... Anoop? Tender Dawg?
