Last Night

Alright. Either AI needs to hire a new wardrobe consultant, or I have not only fallen off the fashion train, but rolled down the hill and landed in the gutter.

Seriously. What was with the outfits that Rocker David, Michael, and Cupcake were wearing? Rocker David and Michael looked ridiculous and Cupcake just looked... well... frumpy. If the looks of Rocker Dave and Michael are truly in style then I will live blissfully retro in my more tasteful outfits.

And Paula. Good Lord. Are her boobs sore today? What in the heck was going on there? It was liked she was squishing the holy heck out of them.

As for the performances. Sigh, yes. David Cook did not "bring it" at all. (I attribute this to he was as mortified of his outfit as I was for him.) Definitely the worst performance of the evening, but... I am confident that he has the fan base to let this one slide.

Carly- you scared me. As we watched, my husband and I commented that she was screaming waaay too much and just seemed, well, angry. Funny that Simon had the same take. Bottom Three.

Syesha- "I Believe?" Are you kidding? Let's ignore for a moment that Fantasia sang that song *when she won*... instead let's focus on what a miserably horrible song it is to start with. I feel like I should be watching credits roll after a Disney movie when I hear it. You will find yourself in the bottom three.

Kristy Lee- she definitely had some awful performances early on, but I will say that when she keeps it country, the girl can sing. I can't believe I am saying this, but it was maybe the best performance of the night (!!).

Brooke- yes, I would pay to go listen to you sing (in a small, intimate setting) if you keep it jazzy/bluesy. I like the raspy quality of your voice, and do think there is a (small) niche for you. But, I must give my props to nittanyalum... she called it long before I did. Here goes: Brooke- I am just starting to find you annoying. Please stop talking.

It seems like last year they did not kick anyone off the week of Idol Gives Back. I don't feel like counting weeks left in the season to see if the same will be true this week. However, if there are any anal-retentive folks out there who are up for figuring that out, please pass it on!

But, if this is an elimination week, then here are my thoughts...

My prediction is that Carly, Syesha and Brooke will be in the bottom 3, and of those I am praying that it will be Syesha that gets the boot. Also, if KLC is somehow spared a bottom-dwelling spot this week, would the producers PLEASE let her know this early on, so that she can enjoy her week on the couch? Never once has the poor girl been able to spend any relaxing time over there!!!

ok, yeah, that was a weird choice by Syesha, but that was sang perfectly. I know she is at the bottom of the barrel now collectively since KLC is a fly we can't swat, but I hope she doesn't go home. I thought Carly was horrible, and didn't really understand what an inspirational song was, and Brooke, lets not go there. Cook is usually my favorite but he did fub tonight, and gave the win to Castro. He was amazing!

I thought that was a most boring selection of songs last night.

I wrote a response to this twice today and both times my browser froze. Crappin-ass-crappin' Vista. Here's attempt #3:

I knew there was a reason I liked you!

I just can't even start on Brooke, so I won't. But I too was concerned with the fashion choices and I would toss Carly on that pile. I thought she looked horrid and I almost fell over when Simon actually complimented her. My husband and I both commented that she just looked angry and MEAN when she sang (and butchered the song - she can't come close to Freddy Mercury). My husband also commented on Paula's boobs. More than once. And not in a flattering way. And I agree that David C. chose a bad song, although I think he still did pretty well. What I wish he had thought about twice was that writing "Give back" on his hand. Height of cheesiness. The only ones who could maybe, MAYBE pull that off are Michael Stipe and Bono. But even though he's my fave, that made me cringe.

My earlier response was that this is what I recall too and I thought they just added this week's votes to next week's votes and then kicked off based on the total. But I've since seen the show and now we know there's a special episode tomorrow night and someone is getting sent home.

I co-sign on this, the girl deserves a break, and I thought she was great this week! And I don't understand why the teen boys aren't voting for her in droves? I think she's adorable. I agree with Brooke and Carly in the bottom 3 (of course ), but I would put Michael Johns in (*gasp* blasphemy! I know!) instead of Syesha. I like Syesha and I thought she sang the bejebus out of that song, even though I don't care for that song (all the "winner" songs have always been so painful). Michael has got to get over this singing 70s rock songs, it is not his thing and I thought he sounded terrible last night. I would like to see Brooke get the bootage. Or Carly. Or Brooke.

I can't even begin to tell you how much it pains me to say this, but ugh, co-sign, Castro did well last night. Dang it.

I missed the very beginning of tonight's show, but I cried buckets watching the rest of it (must be the Social Justice Crusader in me). Annie Lennox's film piece and then her song just about did me in and Carrie Underwood was amazing singing that George Michaels song (which I've always loved).

I LOVE the Fantasia song. No one can sing it like her though, so Syesha should go to the bottom three. She shouldn't be kicked out though, it'd suck. Ramiel lives in my city and Syesha goes to my alma mater. That would be two local girls gone in two weeks (I don't think they'd take it well ).

I can't STAND that Castro guy. What was he wearing? A woman's cardigan and pants! He reminds me of someone I don't like anymore and frankly he's just not that cute or entertaining. Dreads don't look good on him (or most white people).

I liked the guy who did "Angels" because even though it was cliche I just can't hate a well-performed Robbie Williams song! (Jessica Simpson should be tortured for her version).

The girl who sang angrily and off key should get the boot too. She's getting annoying for me.
