Sooooo, the U.S. government totally screwed me over by scheduling Obama’s speech on Tuesday. Idol had to move to Wednesday, and I was not expecting that. I had a bunch of other stuff scheduled for tonight, so I won’t be able to do the typical long-form Idol recap this week. But DON’T WORRY. I have plenty to say, and I’m going to make my points, I’ll just do it in shorter form. Here are my thoughts:
1) I think it’s interesting that they didn’t interview the contestants’ families on the red couch like they did last week. It was SO ANNOYING and it didn’t work AT ALL, and the producers obviously noticed that and implemented the change right away. THANK GOODNESS.
2) After seven seasons of having the judges talk in the order of Randy, Paula, Simon, now they’re switching it up so a different judge starts each time. I don’t quite get that. I liked that Simon always went last. I wonder whose idea it was to make that change. Kara’s?
3) I cannot believe how drugged up Paula is. Cannot believe it. Doesn’t she ever watch the tapes of herself and realize how ridiculous she looks? It’s mind-blowing that they keep renewing her contract so that she can go on live television and slur like the underage girl in the bar five minutes before she flashes the bartender.
4) Kara’s bracelet tonight? Is totally from Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow line. It’s on the Kitson website here. I turned to my friend the first instant they showed Kara and said, “I know that bracelet. It’s from Nicole Richie’s line.” And for that I am duly ashamed.
5) Allison Iraheta is probably going to win this whole competition. Un. Fucking. Believable. For a sixteen-year-old? What a natural. I’m in love. She even looks a little like Kelly Clarkson, and she came out of nowhere and gave me chills, just like Kelly did during her very first Idol performance. She’s definitely my favorite so far.
6) I really don’t think Megan Joy Corkrey is very good at all. Her performance was awful and the way she bops around on stage is embarrassing. I think the judges went easy on her because she’s so pretty, and we lost Casey Carlson last week, and it’s important for ratings that we have a total hottie in the Top 12. They should have torn her a new asshole, but they’re secretly hoping she sticks around to be eye candy.
7) I find Jesse Langseth to be super duper annoying. And I can’t believe the judges commented on how her look was an improvement. WTF did she look like before? That one-shoulder shirt was cheap and ugly and she was wearing the wrong bra — her tits were practically down around her waist.
8) So is Adam Lambert gay or what?
9) Love Nick Mitchell. LOVE him. (Not as much as I love Allison though.)
10) Jeanine Vailes is the reason they invented rhinoplasty. The instant she gets booted off the show tomorrow, that girl needs to run, not walk, to the nearest plastic surgeon and get that shit taken care of.
In summary, I think the three that get through will be Allison, Nick and Adam. I have a feeling we’re going to be looking at a male-intensive Top 12 this year, unless the producers pull some strings and make sure the wild cards are all girls, which I’m sure is exactly what they’re going to do.
Who did you guys vote for?
Youre so cute Beet.
lol. I don’t watch this show, but had to google Jeanine Vailes to see her nose…… good call
NOOO I want Anoop to get the Wild Card!!!
I LOVE the fact that Kara was wearing a bracelet from Nicole Richie’s line-that was a TOTAL DIS to Paula for that whole giving her bracelet to Tatiana. HILARIOUS!!!
Beet, I TOTALLY agree with every statement you made! its like i could have written that, haha. Allison was mind-blowing, and sadly i voted for her like 10 times. i NEVER vote for contestants! I do hope that her and Nick make it. And unfortunately, i know adam will as well.. oh how he annoys me…
Adam, the gay guy at the end, is totally being pushed, but hated him; his girly screams were killing me.
the young purple haired girl, Allison?, sounded great; liked her; but she definitely is not better than the blonde girl with the pink tips from last week… she was the best girl so far, only Allison was close.Thought last week’s group was much better; most sucked last night…
Now tell me, will they start cringing if Nick makes it to the top 8 or so? It’s all fun now; but there are alot of anti-Idol sites voting for him. Will be interesting.
Most of the singers last night were ATROCIOUS, especially Megan Joy. After she sang I was like, “Oooh, I can’t wait to hear what the judges have to say…” and then was appalled that they said she sounded good. I think you’re right — they need some eye candy in the Top 12 and the judges are trying to fix that for them.
Adam Lambert is making my gay-dar go off. I mean, he said he liked the “Twilight” books. I mean, so do I, but I’m FEMALE. I only know of like two guys who actually read those books because they wanted to.
I think you made the right predictions with Adam, Allison and Nick. I love Nick although I can see the serious Idol crazies getting angry if he stays in the competition for too long.
A star was born last night – and his name is Norman Gentle.
Finally, a contestant who’s in on the joke! Go, Norman!
I heart Norman Gentle.
I think Norman Gentle needs a stage, just don’t think it’s AI. He’s definitely entertaining but not a serious singer.
If I could pick 4 it would be Allison, Kris, Matt, and Adam.
The chick that you liked (Allison?) should never, EVER speak. She may sing…but to attempt to participate in a conversation. Even Ryna thought she was an idiot (“well, I hope you graduate…”) Good LORD, she’s an idiot. (And please don’t say, “she’s only 16!”. She should have better manners and communications skills by now. Bleh.
But yeah. She sang nicely…and the “Twighlight”-lover? Totally queer. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Heh. I called Ryan “Ryna”. I like that better.
Ryna. I like it. I think that from now on, Seacrest should always be referred to as Ryna. Let’s start a trend. Like a secret handshake-Beeties united…..
I lovelovelove allison. She is so kelly clarkson- first time I’ve ever voted and it was for her :) wild card, as much as I hate her, I wanna see some more tatiana craziness! Yeah kara was totally pulling the silent bitch thing with the bracelet. Awesomesauce all ver the place.
Well, I guess we now know who this year’s “rocker chick” is. And this year’s white girl r&b singer, as well. Puh-leez: Every year the same thing. What I really love is reading (and listening) to the deluded morons who actually think the winners are decided upon by the voters and that the judges are not given a script to read off of. Talk about un-f’ing-believable!
