Here's the deal with the results shows. Not only should they not be an hour long but they shouldn't even be half an hour long. I do my best to wrap them up in about 20 minutes if possible. I've got little tolerance for the fluff and guest performers.
Uh Oh Ryan is already warning us that tonight might shock us. I could not name a single Sugarland song. Are they from Sugarland, TX? I'm pretty sure they sing country.
Here we go with what I assume is going to be the traditional horrible group performance.
How were they ever able to pull Marc Anthony? Dude looks like John Leguizamo on a 60 day hunger strike.
I'm not a fan of the guy with the tail screeching all the time. They told Pia they want her to move around and do an uptempo song but after seeing her trying to dance in this group thing. Abort. Abort. Abort.
Hey look it's Stevie Wonder. Am I the only one who is always disturbed by how small Stevie's teeth are? I looks like he never lost his baby teeth. Freaks me out. That and his braided bald ponytail.
Credit to Ford for figuring out that these kids are so bad a lip syncing they needed to go a different direction with the commercials.
Lauren, Pia and Scotty up first. I think Scotty is in the bottom tonight. All three are safe. And Louisiana dropped some profanity on live television. I love her white trashiness.
It's been a week of true confessions for me so I'm going to drop a big one on you people tonight. This is hard to admit but I don't hate Ryan Seacrest anymore. Maybe I've lost a little piss and vinegar in my old age or maybe he's just grown on me but I actually find him tolerable. Whew I feel better now.
Like I said I've never heard a Sugarland song before and after that I don't think I'll ever listen to another one.
I'm not going to comment on that wrestling piece. I think it speaks for itself.
James and Paul. I thought Paul was better but he's going to be a permanent fixture in the bottom 3 until he's eliminated. Well I guess not. Both guys are safe. I don't really understand why the old guy from American Chopper fake punched Ryan.
I wouldn't see that Carrie Underwood movie with Simon Cowell's eyes.
Jacob being safe is no surprise. He had far and away the best performance last night.
Thia and Stefano in the bottom 3 is well deserved. Stefano was terrible and Thia was boring.
I dislike Naima as much as I've ever disliked a contestant.
Casey in the bottom 3 is a shocker and it isn't. It is because he's pretty consistently one of the better performers and maybe the most entertaining of all the contestants. It isn't surprising because I laid down a bet on my sportsbook the week for him to be the last male standing. That may be the jinx of all jinxes.
OK I'm going to say it. I don't like the deflated Jennifer Hudson as much as the one with more meat on her. Boring song. My man George is singing backup. Love that guy.
Thia is safe and the 10 person concert lineup just got a little worse. I've got a bad feeling for my boy Casey. Like I said last night If you "Hello" and you don't have a blind girl sculpting you on stage then you deserve to go home. Hopefully millions of people heeded my words and sent Stefano packing.
Casey is singing for his Idol life. Good song.
Beards get it done.
At least the judges got it right even if all the morons who voted didn't.
Honestly, this whole production seemed like a WWE show right down to the predetermined outcome.
I was admittedly shocked at this episode. I've seen the american public get complacent and let a favorite slip and get knocked in the bottom three, but never for such a favorite to go all the way to being the one in last place like casey abrams was. I had a feeling after Nirvana that he was going to lose a lot of votes, but I didn't think this many. He went first on an episode where everyone was pretty good. The save was a no brainer. I have a feeling that he'll get coached up a lot and they'll take some of his uniqueness away. Look for him to maybe break out the upright bass. There wasn't anyone particularly bad on wednesday. I mean, Naima even gave an ok performance. But if Casey is going to go out, it better be after Hailey, Naima, Stefano, lauren etc. I also, honestly thought he might die on the stage. He's been hospitalized throughout the season and he went pale as a ghost when they saved him. I look for him to give a great performance and use the momentum of the game to carry him far. I thought it was a very honest moment when Stefano grabbed him and started whispering into his ear what I can only guess to mean how great he is. Casey Abrams is great and while he may not win, I still think he'll be around for a while after this week.
ReplyDeleteMan, I agree totally on Naima. I can't stand her. But your "Hello" line had me cracking up as I read it just now. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteCasey isn't great, but he doesn't deserve to go home before about 5 or 6 others. On the other hand, I do like James, and hope to see him do more in the coming weeks.
I actually think Casey can easily give the most memorable performances of the year, but he's been approaching these last few weeks like he can just screw around and do anything he wants with no repercussions. He better do more singing and less scowly face screaming if he is going to stick around.
