The judges enter in a very Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome introduction . . . love it. Then they announce (DUN DUN DUN!) that two people will be going home!
Li'l Rounds: I actually felt like this song wasn't big enough for her voice, and while I love her, I was just sort of meh about this performance. I love that Paula complimented her on wearing a soft color, then told her to stick to dark colors one minute later. And really Paula? Her falsetto sounds like an angel? YAY PAULA IS HIGH AS A KITE.
Blind Guy: He is so boring. I feel like if they made the movie Heathers now they would use this song instead of Teenage Suicide--Don't Do It. Really, Paula? Norway? I love her tonight. I'd also like the phone number of her physician.
Dead Wife: PYT I'm not so hot on this arrangement--it makes him seem really stodgy and white, like a nerdy Michael McDonald (oh hey, Simon just said it too!). And he stole Taylor Hicks' awful tush push! Oh jeez, Paula is crying already. Maybe she's actually coming down off of something?
Oil Rigger: Meh. He can sing, but this was boring. Did Simon just pull a Paula and congratulate his effort? Does Paula look puffy? Did she get work done and maybe she's working off the anesthesia? And where did this song place on the charts in Norway?
She's Just 17! I love that she's that singing a Jackson 5 song. It fits her youth. And she's okay. Just okay.
Moppet: Remember the Time. He looks pretty comfortable on that stage and I like him, though I couldn't say why. He's not doing anything new or interesting, but he's cute! Paula is getting belligerent. And Simon makes so much sense--why do they boo him when he says things that are true?
Allison Iraheta: OH MY GOD she sings at the grocery store. I love her. She's so good on stage. Paula must have blacked out watching the video when she states that started singing at age 5. "You must have started singing at age 2, but how will we ever know?"
Anoop! I'm so nervous, hearing the opening notes. It's karaoke for me (and Paula agrees!). And his jacket doesn't have enough zippers.
Is that Ryan's nana? Whose nana is that? I love that she's talking up Randy.
The Heartthrob: I started off not liking it and now I think he's the dreamiest thing ever. I liked it, even if the judges didn't.
The Spaz: MJ wrote this song? I'm so confused. She is so adorable. Oh my god, did she Caw! Caw! at the end? And why is Gordon Ramsey there?
Jazzy Hands: Paula: "I don't even see the stage." Definitely mescalin, then. I'm not crazy about him because I think he belongs on Broadway, not on the radio.
Hat for Fashion (who is this guy, again?): Oh, I love this song. I thought he was just okay.
Alexis: I love this song choice, and I love that she didn't change the words to make it more gender appropriate. Are we running out of time? The judges are being so brief.
Going home: Anoop! and Oil Rigger. Or maybe 17.
I am thankful that Kara dropped the whole "package" broken record and that someone pickled Paula. God, she's good TV.

Oh, Heather... you make me laugh and laugh. You were in rare form last week!
ReplyDeleteI was out of town Sunday-Monday-Tuesday, so it took me a while to catch up. I pretty much agree with everything all of you said. What amazes me is how blatantly the judges were pimping or trashing their pre-arranged plans, regardless of actual performance.
For example: Blind Guy was mediocre, and they talk about how good he is as a rule, and how nice to see him back at the piano, and how we need to hear him some more. But then 17 does a decent job, and they just crap all over it.
I know some of you will say this is how it has ALWAYS been, but it seemed so obviously disconnected from reality this week.
I hope to be back in the mix this week. Taylor OUT!
