American Idol 2/25-26

More singers compete and a few more finalists will be picked this week.
But…tonight’s ep. runs into the LOST time slot, so I will miss the last half hour unless I get off my lazy arse and tape it. Or maybe I’ll just rely on you folks to fill in my blanks.

That’s pretty much what I do for results show. There’s so much filler that I can just pop into one of these threads and find out what I want in thirty seconds.

Jasmine

Pitch problems. Timing problems. Not going well. Very Karaoke. Bye, Jasmine.

Shame about Jasmine… I love the song, but she butchered it…

Matt’s performance did not rule the world. It did not rule a karaoke bar. Ouch.

Matt;
not good enough…

Matt Giraud

Doing Coldplay. terrible arrangement. Can’t hear the music. Sounds like a guy singing in the shower. He’s got a weird quaver to his voice that doesn’t work either. This really blows.

Bye, Matt.

Good lord. That dueling piano guy was AWFUL! That was just embarassing.

It did not rule his shower. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

His performance of Georgia on my Mind during Hollywood week was better. Not great, but much more acceptable.

Seacrest, Chris Martin is not “amazing.”

<commercial break>

Did the rest of you get the commercial for a Dunkin Donuts “sandwich” made with meat, egg, cheese (I think) – and put between two waffles? That food is so disgusting it almost makes Matt’s singing look tolerable.

</commercial>

Jeanine;

about on par with the other two

Jeanine…awww…not so good. Is this an intentional style of singing, to be half a beat behind the music? It makes me tense. She does have long legs, though, doesn’t she?

Jeanine Vailes

Whoa, legs!

Lost my train of thought for a second. Ok, she started ok, kind of lost the key in the chorus.

Bye, Jeanine.

Everyone is horrible so far, sucking,sucking sucking. I wonder if there’s something wrong with the monitor system------it’s easy to screw up when you can’t hear yourself properly

With Nick/Normund (looks like he’s actually going to sing as Nick tonight), at least we’re likely to be entertained. Which is more than can be said for the first three, who were all uniformly horrible and uninteresting.

So… Nick or Norman? Who do you think is performing tonight?

Loks like it’s Norman tonight… lol

still… best of the night so far, by far.

This is amazing. Seriously, to get on Idol and have a chance to play it straight, but be willing to toss it away for comedic effect. Really it is pretty daring, because if he wasn’t actually funny it would be terribly cringeworthy.

Normund it is. With white tails.

There is no fourth wall with this guy.

His absolute absurdity is exactly what this show needs. When he’s caressing the American Idol logo, singing “You’re gonna love me,” it’s pure entertainment.
