What is going on with Sanjaya? Is he completely insane? This song has no melody and … well, I like his jacket. I can’t really think of anything else nice to say. He is SO WEIRD. That was horrifying. Honestly, the kid is at least six kinds of freak right now. There aren’t even words in the English language, I don’t think. Or in any other language I can think of.
Hmm, looks like Haley is rockin’ Kat McPhee’s extensions again. I like this song better when Cyndi Lauper sings it. Because she’s so unusual. But Haley isn’t. She’s very Osmand-ish again. She bores me sometimes. Like tonight.
I’m kind of bored. Are we sure that Gwen Stefani was actually involved tonight? I don’t really believe it.
I liked Phil better on this song before he got to the bridge, but I have to say, this was a good choice for him. I would like him a lot better if he didn’t look like a schwa-headed alien who wants to eat my soooooooooul. But you gotta work with what you’ve got, I suppose.
I’m not as impressed with Melinda as I usually am, but she’s still quite good. Not crazy about the outfit at all, tough. She looks like she’s wearing one of my grandmother’s ancient housedresses. (I know that Lilly Pulitzer is “in” again, but I don’t give a crap.)
Big ups for being able to not only pull off the blue eyeshadow, but to actually look good in it. And her teeth are so very, very white.
You know, I just now realized that “American” is spelled incorrectly in this thread’s title.
The giggles have worn off and now I’m bored. I expected more from both Melinda and Lakisha. With one notable exception, they all seem lackluster today. Maybe they all went out last night and are hung over.
Gaaaaah … you know, I love The Cure (duh), and I think that in its way, this song is actually quite depressing (if not still very pretty, and one of the songs I put on the very first mixed-tape I made for my husband, back when we was still my boyfriend), and when it’s slowed down like this, I feel suicidal. Thanks a lot, Blake!
And “Blake” didn’t do anything with this song that “311” didn’t already do. Where’s all the indignation? People got pissed when Chris did Līve’s version of “Walk the Line.” Who’s going to get mad about Blake “taking credit” for something he didn’t come up with on his own?
Yeah, I don’t think I care either.
Not liking this song on Jordin, but she’s not doing a bad job. Hate the outfit, though. HATE! She looks like she got all her clothes off the clearance rack (which I do, but tens of millions of people don’t watch me on TV each week). They don’t do anything for her.
I’m indignant! There has to be a better version out there for him to steal. Not that… that… that… UGH! I thought I wouldn’t have to hear that version again. And yet he inflicted it upon us! Why, Blake, why?
You know, I didn’t watch “Idol” full time until the second season, but … this might be the absolute worst “theme” night ever. Gwen Stefani is “inspired” by some messed-up shit.
