WTF is up with the judges and Gokey? A "masterclass"? The only masterclass Gokey can teach is in douchebaggery. I still can't get over the fact that he survived the massacre of Dream On (and acting like a prima donna during his "duet"); that Alison got sent home after a perfectly capable version of Cry Baby (A Woman Left Lonely would've been my Janis choice for her) and a rockin' duet is still chapping my butt. But comparing him to Terence Trent D'Arby? Holy craphat.
I can't say as I thought any of the judges' picks performances were that great; but Kris' second song (Heartbreaker?) was flat out FANTASTIC. To this point I thought he was aight, but that was da bomb. For me, for you. Dude.
I wasn't that excited by Adam's Cryin', even though I love the song. But I'm willing to overlook a so-so interpretation because I suspect it was a giant fuck you to Gokey -- you can't hack Aerosmith, dickwad? Here's your Aerosmith!
I'm once again utterly too emotionally invested in this damn show. I almost hope Gokey wins so they can have another Taylor Hicks level dud on their hands.
Brandon, thanks for the pointer to Idolatry at EW -- I'm obsessive about it now, and followed Michael Slezak's liveblogging of last week's results show.

My pleasure regarding Idolatry. I want to spread the Idol Snark to the world.
ReplyDeleteI just voted for My Boyfriend and Glambert. I pray to all things Idol that Gokey is gone after tonight. It's just so obvious he shouldn't be in the final two!
I am spreading the Idolatry cult to the masses at my school, too. They are just way too clever. Working in the EW offices has been my dream job for at least a decade, and these videos don't make it look any more like "work" or do anything to discourage me from my fantasy.
ReplyDeleteWHO IS VOTING FOR GOKEY????????
Gokey couldn't carry TTD's tuning fork. I'm offended they were even mentioned in the same sentence.
Gokey apparently has the born-again vote, something about megachurches -- I didn't realize they were much of a factor, but this could become a pretty ugly christ-y vs. the gay guy if things go as we all suspect.
ReplyDeleteWhy do megachurchy people have such bad taste, though? The Blue Jeans service at my church is the same way. Like a shouty, out-of-tune Hootie and the Blowfish song makes church BETTER??
ReplyDeleteLove Michael Slezak. I want to be his friend. Hate Gokey. I do not want to be his friend and I do not like his hat. Is the megachurch population really that large??? I freakin' choked on my cocktail with the TTD comment - what's with the pimping?
