American Idol 2/17-18

Alexis Grace.

Minstrel act.

Now, this Alexis Grace is singing well (though something about how she sings makes it really looks like she’s lip synching).

Tatiana has a fan base? What do they like about her? “I just love how narcissistic and histrionic she is!”?

She’s obnoxiously affected and chose a song that doesn’t require much range. I don’t think she’s going to be making any more appearances.

Jesus, Paula is loaded.

I don’t even know what that means.

I don’t even know what that means.

So, is Ted Danson there as Neil Patrick Harris’ date? I love the random “celebrity in the audience” shots.

VTFW

Alexis had one really bad cat-in-heat moment that marred an otherwise good performance.

I like country but hate redneck anthems.

I think Brent’s going back to the Home Depot.

Not a very strong voice. Probably the weakest performance so far.

Brent’s song had 4 notes and he couldn’t hit any of them.

I do know what that means, and agree.

Brent had a lame performance and the personality of dishwater. Hard to imagine he won’t be gone.

Simon was totaly right about that dude. That was very forgettable. The way he was talking, it sounds like he thinks he’s basically taking tonight as an audition for whatever country labels might be watching, but to me, he sounded like anybody you’d hear in any bar.

I haven’t seen the episode yet, but I did look at the song list and I am liking that Anoop is doing “Angel of Mine.” He already has a video of him singing it with his singing group from college.

Are they saving Tatiana for the end? I kind of hope they are. I’ve decided I’m going to vote my thumbs off for her. I don’t want it to end yet.

I loved Simon’s comment: “What HAS Bucky Covington done?”

I think he played the Franklin County Fair in New York State. If you’ve ever been to Malone*, you’d know how sad that is.

*The hometown of Nathaniel Marshall. The super drama queen of this season.

So the leaked list has the wrong Taylor Swift song.

And this is the worst performance of the night so far. Not a single note in tune. Bye, kid.

Stevie is awful.

It’s remarkable that the judges are so poorly acquainted with country that they can’t judge it by its own merits.

Anyway, this woman sucks. And Dio is dead to me if he helps keep Tatiana on the show. The best thing for everyone, including her, is for her to go home.
