American Idol 3/28, Songs of the 21st Century

Paris wins the ugliest hair of the week award.

Maybe of the season…

What was the lyric - “no time for the bedroom so we’ll hit the floor?” I’m no prude but it’s funny she said “I get to be a teen.” Uh, yeah. I totally agree with Simon on that one.

“Precocious” is exactly the right word for that performance. Thanks, Simon.

That was like seeing a toddler pretending to be a hooker.

I thought Paris was ok, but she wasn’t giving me goosebumps.

Who’s left? Eliot? I can’t see him bringing the house down either. What a mediocre night.

Yeah. I’m definitely glad that it’s only an hour-long show tonight.

Well, it’s up to Elliot to save the show.

Ok, that’s not good…

Did he just mess up the lyrics?

What is it, Thug Night?

You go Eliot! My dark horse stides in.

Bah. Bo did this better and Eliot biffed the lyrics. He wasn’t terrible but it was by no means “a hot one.”

Sigh … Elliot got the words wrong. And he doesn’t really sound all that different than Gavin DeGraw, or Bo. He sounds good, though – honest-to-goodness good, which is a nice change from everyone else tonight. BUT. Honestly? He sounded like a poseur. Like, this is totally not the song he wanted to be doing, but he couldn’t find anything else. Not bad, though.

He still did better than other singers…

Lisa, Ace, Kelly, please let them be the bottom three…

And let Ace go…

What a best night all around. Nobody did a great job.

Good:

Taylor
Katherine
Paris

Okay:

Elliot
Chris
Bucky
Mandisa

Bad:
Kellie
Lisa
Ace

I predict it’s Lisa gone tomorrow.

So how does Elliot feel about being a prison guards son? That was bad on so many levels.

Wasn’t bad enough to get him in the bottom three though. I’ll go with Lisa, Kelly, and Ace bringing up the rear this week. I’d like to see Chris down there though, as a warning. No more Creed.

Damn, Shakira is performing tomorrow? I like her much better when she sings in Spanish, not English…

I almost hope it’s Lisa tomorrow. She seems like a great kid and a true professional, but to quote the Brother(s) Brittenum: “Her spirit has been broken.”

I meant “What a weak night all around.”

Not a good night. Nobody was great. There were three good performances, two OK ones and the rest sucked.

My top three:
Eliot
Taylor
Paris

My bottom three, from best to worst:
The Pickler
Chris
Ace
Out: Lisa.

I guess I’d say McPhee was the best of the night. Bucky, Taylor, Eliot and Paris were all just a’ight. Mandisa was sharp and screamy but she should be safe. Kellie and Ace were the worst but probbably won’t go anywhere. Chris should really be penalized harshly for choosing Creed but he’s probably safe as well.

I’m guessing Lisa or Bucky will go. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ace make the bottom three again. I’ve given up hoping for Kellie to land there.

After a craptacular show, I must say that this post just made me laugh out loud.
