I’m not sure about J-Lo giving them advice after they’ve “had their dreams shattered.” On the one hand, it’s advice from J-Lo (with Steve Tyler and Randy Jackson nodding along), but on the other hand, how much are they taking in at the moment?
And Doucheglasses totally avoided the question on Jacee. I guess they couldn’t flat out ask him if he dumped Jacee because he wasn’t pretty enough (THAT would be a job for Simon Cowell - holding his feet to the flames).
I was annoyed when they were questioning Doucheglasses about Jaycee, and he was trying to find the words (other than, “He was too fat to hang with us kool kids”) and Randy provided him with, “It just didn’t work out?” Make him say it!
Apparently i’m the only one who is cutting “Doucheglasses” a break. I think he made a hard decision to help his group. JC was a crutch for them. He’s a sweet kid, but he wasnt working for their group. Sure, it wasnt the nicest thing that’s happened… but JC has a insecure voice and could have very possibly held the group back.
Dont get me wrong, I love that JC kid, and I want to see him succeed…but I think he’s got a few years to build up some backbone to help him sing loud and proud. I hope they dont put him thru and make us revisit the Group auditions over and over.
I dont like the coke bottle ones…but I dont mind the ones he had on last night. He had me when he sang the Georgia song. It was so passionate. Loved it!
He’s this season’s Danny Gokey - He invokes inexplicable and possibly unjustified dislike in me, but I still dislike him. Must be that big amygdala of mine.
So far, I think there’s a lot more pure vocal talent on the show this year than in the last couple, but if that Beatles episode is indicative of their general artistic sensibility, we’re in for a painful season. Between the contestants who said they’d never heard of the Beatles or never heard any of their songs, and the ones who took songs that have some of the greatest melodies ever produced and crapped melisma all over them, there’s a real shortage of musical taste this year. I hope that the worst offenders get filtered out and the top 12 contains some real artists. But I’m worried.
So far, the bright points have been Casey and his magic bass, Paul McDonald and his magic suit, Fonzie, and a couple of the rocker girls. Most of the others are cut from generic diva cloth. There are a few wild cards in there who might be good but we just haven’t seen enough of. Knowing how Idol likes to keep a bullet or two in reserve, I suspect one or more of these ‘hidden’ performers will turn out to be great.
That is exactly how I feel about him. I’m not seeing anything that’s making me like him more, either, though. However, I don’t know how big my amygdala is. Maybe mine is also oversized.
Am I in the right place here?.. John Wayne Cowboy is out, I’m rather surprised. The other country boy, Scotty, is really really good, and he’s staying. Have I ever, though, seen a person and a voice that so not seem to go together?
Jennifer Lopez looks just beautiful but totally unlike herself. Must be the wavy hair and red lipstick, but dang, she looks good.
No, not at all. Other than the bitchface, Carrot Top is quite good.
Is it wrong that I was highly amused at Birthday Girl’s reaction to being cut? The whole “You probably can’t see this, they probably have big American Idol bubbles on top of these fingers” was hysterical.
