Hidden behind the idols you adore (week 3)...

Every performance on American Idol this week was underwhelming and disappointing, although some more than others. As a group, they just weren't that great. Individually:

Lisa: Didn't like the song, didn't like the way she sang it. Hey, like Randy I'm just 'keeping it real!' Lisa needs to go.
Kelly: She gets more irritating each and every week (last week: Ryan - Simon called your perfromance ballsy. Kelly - What's a ballsy? *giggle, giggle*) And could she have picked a more redneck hill billy song? Gimmicky, lasso-ey, rodeo, novelty song, Simon was right. She needs to have some guy in a pickup truck stop by and take her to Vegas...by force at knife point if necessary.
Ace: His stage presence- static and wooden; his singing - poor, not a great vocal. By my GOD does he have a smoldering 'fuck me' look in his eyes. And while carressing a real scar no less! And he's got that smile. And that hair. And the scar. And a twin. *SIGH* Sings? he sings?
Taylor: Show his vocal range? How about slim to none? Horrible song. Horrible rendition. I understand the guy's not 30 yet, but he's too old for the outfit. Overall: yuck.
Mandisa: God is bigger than any problem, but is he bigger than her hips? A gospel song should have been her territory, she should have been all over this, but I don't think she did as well as she could have. Not a bad job all in all, best so far.
Chris: He's a natural on the stage, quite a stage presence. Didn't like the song, but, as always, he sang it like he was born to it. Not his best, not even the best of the night, I don't think. but still better than most.
Katharine: Definately sang it like it like Ms. Whore-gulera, she covered about six octaves, ran up and down the scale with one single note, and screeched like a banshee. I HATE that type of, and I use the term loosely, singing. It must have sounded a lot different in person for the judges to rave about it so.
Bucky: He was MUCH more comfortable with himself and the song. He did a much better job than the last few times. He shouldn't have covered his hair with a cowboy hat, it's the best thing about him. Still, his performance was one of the better ones. ANd this from a guy who hates country music.
Paris: Didn't like the song, not appropriate for her, and not her best performance, but damn, the girl can sing it. Disappointing, but probably the best of the evening anyway.
Elliott: Is he tone deaf? No, seriously is he? What's with the knee bends, aerobicizing? Dancing WAS hideous. ANd his singing and the band never meshed. I have to wonder what performance was the audience watching? They, and the judges were cheering. Maybe they were watching a reply of Chris "Walk The Line" from last week, cause Elliott's performance this week was nowhere near good.

SO I guess Paris was the best, Lisa the worst. Tomorrow night, Shakira...oh joy, a Latino, cheap copy of Whore-gulara will be there, lovely. Just what I need. Guess it won't be as bad a root canal...but it'll be close.
