My two favorite contestants (David Hernandez and Amanda Overmeyer) have been given the boot. So, I am not beholden to anybody. Since I will be doing this (almost) live, I will just type out my thoughts, and then I will place them in order at the end. I am starting about 21 minutes behind on the East Coast. So, obviously, if you're in a different time zone, you're going to get spoilers, but hey, not my problem.
Here we go....this will be stream of consciousness
- Here comes Gaycreast. I do find him a bit attractive, except when he talks. So, obviously, this is not going to win him any points with me.
- What the hell is Paula wearing! It looks like something out of Sally Bowles' closet.
- Tonight's theme is the year they were born...so, um...boy
- Ramiele is up first. Yes, you are damn lucky you made it to the top 10. On nooooo, she didn't! Heart's Alone! Why Why Why! She has a big voice, maybe she can pull it off, but again, why pick something that was done so "well" by Carrie Underwood and Carly Smithson, this season. Okay, she DESTROYED the high notes, and she looks like she's wearing Kulots, with hooker boots. That was TERRIBLE!
- Randy made sense, for once. Paula was feckless, again! And Simon basically said, it was bad, but since last week was horrible and she's still here, then she's going to make it through.
- Commercial
- Oh goody. My favorite...Jason Castro. Oh great, it's his birthday. Is Sting's Fragile really from 1987? He sounds like Enrique Iglesias tonight. I still say he would make a better YouTube star singing in his dorm room. It was fine tonight, but he just does the same thing week after week. I think he is going to be the one who hangs around forever, but he really has no chance of winning. THANK YOU, SIMON! It was very much like someone singing on the street.
- Sidenote: I hate the mosh pit
- Sayesha. Okay, enough of the baby cries, girl. Oh wow, she lived the dream of Bring It On because she was on the dance team. She's singing, "If I Was Your Woman." Wow, she really hit that one out of the park. I knew she had it in her, but she has been so inconsistent. This was a bit of a fudge because while Gladys Knight and the Pips sang it in 1971, Alicia Keys covered it last year on her Unplugged album. I just had to Google it, and Stephanie Mills covered it in 1987. Way to stretch out the meaning of birth year. Also, she needs to give style tips to the rest of the girls.
- Commercial
- Chikezie is singing a ballad. lol...Blanche just texted me with "Brace yourself, its been nothing but ballads all night." He's singing "If Only for One Night." I'm not sure I know this. Ah...it's Luther. That makes sense. He's doing a good job. I just don't know if he is taking a risk here. This is pretty standard balladry. Woo Hoo...Randy agreed with me. It was way too old school.
- Commercial
- Brooke White. She's the oldest one so far at 1983. Oh deal lord, I feel old. Good thing she actually looks older than me. She's singing The Police "Every Breathe You Take." She's at the piano again, and whoops, she messed up the beginning and restarted. I have been watching this show since the 3rd Season, and I don't remember anyone doing that. She's good, but she's done this song deconstruction before. I understand its her thing, but as she showed last week, she falters when she does something else. The point of the theme weeks is to show your versitility. Eh, it was mezzo mezzo. I like it, and she is pretty likable.
- Dear god...another commercial, and the two oldest people, Carly Smithson and Michael Johns, are up next.
- Michael Johns. 1978...okay, I don't feel so old now. Hmm....Queen "We Will Rock You" into "We Are the Champions." I don't think I've ever seen someone do two songs either. He's doing a good job, but he did a great job on Bohemian Rhapsody, too. So, it is obvious he has an affinity for this classic, bombastic rock. (voice cracked) I dunno. What is he going to do for Dolly Parton week? It certainly woke the crowd up. So, I give him props for that.
- Carly Smithson is up next, and I am not shocked she's a Virgo. *gasp* "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Good God, she is great. Why the hell was she in the bottom 3 last week? I desperately want her to sing some Grace Slick! She's doing better in the clothing department, but oh lord, her husband scares me. Okay, what hell, Randy? He didn't like it. Eh, okay, I can agree with Simon. It wasn't perfect, but my god, she is so much better than everyone else. I'm going to have to start voting for her.
- Commercial Break....and the YOUNGEST is up next. David Archuleta.
- David Archuleta - It is so creepy to have all those girls screaming for him. Especially the middle aged ones... Oh no, he has a girlfriend. Gay men across the country are weeping. He's singing Heart's "The Voice," and folks, it ain't good. Oh dear, props for trying to do something different, but it's been very pitchy and all over the place. Randy is CRAZY. That was not nice. Simon was dead on....it was very theme park. Hmmm, he alluded to the fact that David's dad is a bit of stage parent. Veddy Interesting...
- Commercial
- Oh yippee skippy, my absolute favorite: Carrie Underwood, Jr - Kristie Lee Cook. Why the hell is she still here? Why? Why? Why? If Carly goes home before her, I am going to be so pissed off. When she was born, her dad was a bit of DILF. Wow, she got on her parent's nerves from singing so much. I know the feeling. Oh fucking seriously...."God Bless the USA." I'm going to go barf. *pops a breath mint* Oh fuck, she's still singing. I really wish we could vote people OFF. Ugh, the worst part is that she sang it well. Damn, she'll be around next week.
- Commercial - At least David Cook is up next.
- David Cook - Uh wow...he's singing "Billie Jean." A bit speechless. I know Chris Cornell did a stipped down unplugged version of this, but if that is his own arrangement. He just won this thing (I was typing that before Randy said it..HA!). Seriously, when he was coming up through auditions, I had no idea he had this in him.
