Because first American Idol had to torment the viewing audience with yet another Group Song. Note to American Idol producers: We, the viewing audience, the addicted masses, the iTunes purchasing demographic, the ad revenue driving cash cow at who's teet you suckel, demand once and for all that you end this bombastic campaign of torture and Milli-Vanilli/Ashley Simpson inspired lip sync farce. Who the heck do you think you are fooling? The majority of these contectants have been unable to sing in tune while standing still or sitting on a stool so what makes them think that we believe for one second that they can suddenly perform flawlessly whilst running around the Idol stage? Come on!
The Black Eyed Peas didn't deserve what happened last night. The viewing audience didn't deserve it either. Shiny black spandex pants Haeley? Who's jacket are you borrowing Aaron - you look like Marty McFly from Back To the Future 2!
And who is dressing Katie Stevens? Lisa Turtle from Saved By the Bell? "Like Oh My God."
Finally Ryan dimmed the lights and got to the results. First up was the Guys back row. It came down to Toderick and John with John getting the ax. John didn't seem nearly as upset as Casey was at his being voted out. Pehaps Casey was infected by the "Purple Haze." No big loss in my opinion and probably should have happened last week.
After the commercial break it was the Guys front row turn in front of the firing squad. When it was just Jermaine and Andrew left Ryan brought them to the middle of the stage to amp up the drama. Jermaine was sporting the missing half of Michelle's gloves from the previous night which really completed his Pee Wee Herman outfit. Andrew looked as if he'd just watched someone kill a puppy. And when all the votes were counted my concerns/fear were put to rest. Call it what you'd like, "A smoting," "Being called back to the flock," whatever you want to call it it was the right call. Jermaine wasn't going home without running his mouth though. In a speach reminiscent of Mayor Menino, Jermaine butchered the rules of grammar while proclaiming "In God ther is no failure." And for you there is no sucess. NEXT!
To bring us into the second half of the show Danny Gokey returned to the Idol stage for the first time since his fourth palce finish last season. Sporting a fo-beard, his signature glasses and the same t-shirt he wore last season, Danny debuted his new single, "My Best Days." Perhaps it was a trick of the lighting or the camera but on several occassions it appeared that Danny was stuffing his trousers with a roll of dimes....Anyway, apparently Danny has gone Country. Who knew? As most of you know I'm not a huge Gokey fan but I will say this. At least he was in tune. After performing Danny chatterboxed Ryan into submission. It's only his first album and he's already on the cocaine....Celebrity Rehab here I come!!! Say hi to Nikki McKibbin for us!
Anywhoo....I did enjoy that Ellen was trying to book Danny for her other show during Idol. Not that's a savvy businesswoman.
Sorry about that. It's lunchtime and I'm hungry and the commercial aired at this very point in the show last night.
The girls back row was on the chopping block first. Ryan managed to put one over on Lilly, his first such gag of the season! Way to go Ryan. That gag never gets old. It all came down to Didi and Michelle though. After what seemend like 30 seconds of suspense building and the entire Jeopardy theme, Michelle was given the bad news and didn't take it too well. Fighting back tears and cursing Jermaine under her breath for stealing the other half of her gloves, Michelle finally accepted her fate.
Cut to the Judges tabele as Ryan has the front row stand. What the %^*& are Kara and Simon up to this year? It's starting to really annoy me. Stop touching each other or get a room! Simon then says that "it's very obvious who's going home." Ryan, looking perplexed asks Simon, "To who?" And Simon responds with a shoulder shrug and a smug retort, "To the viewing audience." Well judging by the vote cast in our little contest, it wasn't that obvious because it was down to Haeley and Lacey and almost everyone who cast votes last night thought that these 2 were the 2 going home. Angering Vote for the Worst fans everywhere, Haeley was kicked to the curb and for the first time all season, wasn't smiling. Before we had to endure what turned out to be a much more entertaining version of "The Climb, " Ryan and Debbie the stage manager got into a bit of a spat over the airing of the idiotic video package of all the contestants favorite moments as determined by some clown in the control room. Roll footage.....no thank you!
So there you have it. And here are the new standings in the contest:
David -- 6 (All 4 correct last night)
Yolanda -- 5 (3 correct last night)
Scott -- 4 (3 correct last night)
Eric -- 4 (All 4 correct last night)
Kristen -- 3
Jon -- 3 (Feel better now Dawg?)
Emily -- 3
Lois -- 3
Betty -- 2
April -- 2
Shannon -- 2
Mary M. -- 2
Jeff -- 2 (New guy is on the board!)
Mary W. -- 0
Margret -- 0

Danny Gokey's song is THE most awful song I've everrr heardddd!! Top 5 on itunes? give me a break.
ReplyDeleteGokey is the biggest poser ever. If you could zoom in, I bet you would see a little clown on the side of those ugly glasses. "Hey Ryan-- do you wanna here something cool? The guy who wrote that song-- his wife is dead too! That is my anthem!" (Apologies to our member who still loves Gokey...)
ReplyDeleteMy 4 right was just luck. But I do want credit for saying that the judges were nuts to applaud Michelle Delamor-- then to have Kara come on the show and say that when she watched on TV, she realized that Michelle was actually bad. And Simon would not name names, but said that someone they liked was so bad when he watched that he had to shut the TV. I'm sure it was Michelle. More importantly-- what is this nonsense about them being unable to hear the true sound in the studio?? Translation-- you don't trust your instincts, you probably wrote your scripted judgment after watching the rehearsal and did not really pay attention during the show, and you want to cover your butts when America tells you that you were wrong!
