American Idol 3/25, 26

Syesha was really good. That sounded like a hit record right there. She was less affected than usual as well.

Shyesha has been the most consistent of all the performers. She’s just so. . . blah. But that was a great rendition of the song. When was that song made? They must be basing it on a cover version.
Also, could someone slap Randy the next time he says “for me for you.”? Thanks in advance.

They played that Sting song a LOT around 9-11. If you read the lyrics, you’ll understand why. It’s a beautiful song. Our church choir (UU of course) did a rendition of it the Sunday after 9-11 and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Yep, she doesn’t do herself any favors talking.

Oooh, anyone seen lizard lick yet? I think it’s Opal who kept noticing that, Lib never seeing it and the rest of us scattered between, maybe? Yeah, I think I’ll have to look away from the screen whenever he’s on, now.

I notice Archuleta’s lip-licking constantly, as well as his gasping breathing. He has a great voice, but his vocal and stage mannerisms are really distracting and annoying.

I have no memory of ever hearing that, but now I’m off to look up the lyrics, it sure sounds pretty enough.

Not really. I was aware of the song from having the album, but I don’t think it was on the charts.

I don’t know why they said he didn’t do anything with it. He sped it up a little and put some Spanish lyrics in it. I enjoyed it, but it would have been better if he kept it slow. He’s still smiling a little too much and it didn’t fit the song at all. Does he listen to the lyrics he’s singing?

Wow, 9-11 was Chikizie’s 16th bday.

I like the ballad.

My knickname for him is Lizard Boy and I always count how many times he does it during his performances. He’s brought it down a lot since the beginning. From a high of about 11 to only 4 last time.
The slow motion increases the creepiness by a thousandfold.

Chikezie is buttery tonight, that was very nice.
Hmm, I think I’m biased, my reviews got more positive as I ate. Everyone sounds bad when I’m hungry, heh.

Chicky is doing Luther. Not bad at all. I think he could have been better.

Simon signaled the Mothership again!

Chikezie’s name really is Chikezie Eze? Now I know why he goes by one name.

Boring, do not like that kind of song.

“I didn’t see anything original other than someone trying to copy the original.” Thank you, Simon.

I love it when he does that.

Drainy what’s the title of that Sting song? Did he really add Spanish lyrics where there weren’t any? Why would he do that?

It’s called “Fragile”. I can’t remember it having Spanish lyrics, but Castro is Latino, so that might have something to do with it.

What is with the hair? And dude, she totally flubbed the beginning.

I still hate Snow White. This is kind of a gutless song to choose. It’s easy to sing, no real range. She always picks really safe, easy songs and never gets called on it. Bland, insipid, non-threatening, unmemorable, blonde. Meet your next American Idol.

Sting recorded a version of Fragile (“Fragilidad”) in Spanish.

Did she miss her own cue? I liked it a lot and I can’t stand Snow White.
