American Idol - 11,12 March [open spoilers posibble, open at your own risk]

Kristy is just not good. If she’s going to countrify Eight Days a Week, she needs to do more than just speed it up and sing it with a twang. Good night, Kristy.

Did Simon say: Dolly Parton on helium?

This was like a country approach to Weird Al’s polka versions of pop songs. Absolutely hilarious.

Could it be? Is my David H. saved? Boy, that was ugly.

Brilliant! You’re absolutely right.

Word.

That’s so spot on, exactly what it reminded me of but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Thanks Kristy! Thanks for giving Rami another shot at it next week.

I thought Ryan and Simon were over their pointless bickering. Come on, fellas.

OK, that (Kristy) was awful. 100% in agreement with Simon: Dolly Parton on helium, except less interesting. It might have been okay, if it wasn’t so damn *fast *and forced.

This is a night of highs and lows; it will be a race for the rock-bottom-plus-one slot.

ETA: Harborwolf nailed it. Bravo!

Totally thirding Harborwolf. Had she done that on purpose, it would be genius.

I’m with Simon, the countrified Eight Days A Week was an abomination, and I’m not one of those people who hates country. At least not all country.

Is David A. last? Can he top “Imagine?”

I love some country music, and that wasn’t it.

Ooh, golden boy just forgot a phrase!

Did Pimpuleta just blow lyrics?

The song seems . . . too low? for him. Or something. Not as good as last week.

Toime?

Oops! David A. forgot the words! He’ll still be back, but at least the judges won’t fawn over him this week.

Multiple times.

Ook. David A is fucking up my favorite Beatles song.

If his strategy is to avoid being the teacher’s pet, it’s working.

And he doesn’t know the words.

Oh god, kill me.

David A keeps forgetting the words.

Very boy band but convincing in that context otherwise. He’ll get the little girls working the phones.
