American Idol 4/1-4/2 *Open spoilers*

I’m imagining him doing an unbelievably upbeat new arrangement of The End. "The killer awoke before dawn… oooooh oooh oh oooohhh ooohhhh!!! And said Father… "

Stop that NOW! That made me laugh so hard my sides hurt. And I can actually hear him doing that version.

You are a very very bad Sampiro for doing that to me.

More AI shots - every time someone says, “It was your best performance yet.” and every time Pauler says something in Gibberish (her native language).

David Cook wasn’t brilliant tonight, but I still liked him - tonight sort of nailed down for me that I just really, really like his voice and his performing.

I also just wanted to say how beautiful Dolly Parton would be if she’d just lay off the plastic surgery. Jeeze, woman, you look like a joke. And you’re not a joke. You’re far too bright and talented to be a joke.

Amen, brother. Dolly would be a great looking older lady if she’d let herself age gracefully. She was downright spooky looking.

Agreed on all counts. Best performance of the night and his best so far after Hollywood.

Almost agree:

  1. Michael Johns
  2. Jason Castro
    > Syesha Mercado
  3. Carly Smithson
  4. David Cook
  5. David Archuleta
  6. Brooke White
  7. Kristy Lee Cook

  8. Ramiele Malubay

Not bad…
Screwed up the travelin’ part, though

Adding my vote to the Dolly plastic surgery non-fan club. She looked like she had clown lips, except as real lips and not just huge makeup. It was disturbing. :frowning:

she screwed the bridge up :dubious:

BTW, does AI ever let the contestants sing modern songs?

It’s been 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, the Beatles, year of your birth, Dolly Parton, …

Later on in the competition, do they let them sing something that is newer than 10 years old?

hmm, I didn’t particularly like the song before, but now :stuck_out_tongue:

meh :dubious:
she sounds flat, dull, lifeless

“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill”

:smiley:

I actually bought David Cook’s album on Amazon. And downloaded a bunch of his old band Axium’s songs. I’m a new fan. My favorite so far is “Just in Case” when he was with Axium.

I get all the Jason Castro “meh” that out exists there. But I do think he has something…something about him.

Maybe its my hope that he will sing Willie Nelson’s “Blue Eyes Cryin’ In the Rain”

or it could be my desire to give him hickeys all over his body.

Ok.

The Willie song would be more fun for everyone else,

HOWEVER…second choice…

let me just put a cold compress on my forehead

Yeah, they usually do a current top 40 week (I think it’s current, it might be in the last year). Song choice is always interesting!

I couldn’t watch any of the contestants last night. I just don’t like hearing other people do Dolly’s songs.

However, I thought Dolly was beautiful. I’m going to tune in tonight to hear her sing, then shut the TV off right after that. It’s more fun to read what y’all have to say than to actually watch any more of this season.

She’s always been a fan of gawdy. And i do think her plastic surgery turned out far better than Kenny Rogers’. Hey, at least she is still recognizable as Dolly! Seriously, I’d much prefer to see a woman age gracefully, too, but telling older, vain women to not do plastic surgery would net the same results as telling older, vain men to stop with the combover.

The worst atrocity, by far, is Priscilla Presley. She has no wrinkles, that’s for sure, but she’s turned herself into a caricature - with no expression at all. You’d think she’d have learned to avoid plastic surgery from her former son-in-law…

I don’t think it had anything to do with “gawdy” it was just that her lips were stretched so far that they were enormous, and shaped like a clown smile. :X

Dolly is a sweetheart but I didn’t hear her give any constructive criticism. Maybe it was edited out. It’s really boring to watch these celebrity guests do nothing but kiss ass.

David C and Jason are still my favorites.

Kristy didn’t suck and she looked really stunning, barefoot and all. I fear this will keep her around another week.
