Who is out? Huh? Hmm. THIS is American Idol!
Mariah Carey! ELLIOTT! I knew he was going to be on 'cause he MySpaced me. We're close like that. Randy's hair looks crazy. Did it always look like that?
Please take a moment to consider:
Chilling, is it not?
Up With People brings us "One Sweet Day"! Jason, please don't fly away, so far away. Kristy's cleavage is sparkly! Syesha's on camera and Chris goes "ugh." He's got a vendetta. Not me though, for she is the BEST ALWAYS AND FOREVER. Carly, oh gosh. When David C. starts "feeling it" we start laughing. Because we can't believe the AWESOMENESS, obviously. Syesha and David C. pair up and it's like they've been reading my mind!
I think I'm going to start wearing blush like Mariah wears it. It's adorable! I guess Randy's hair did look like that yesterday and I'm the one who's crazy. Brooke wishes it didn't hurt, but it does. David C. is still a douche. By which I mean he is REFRESHING and MEDICINAL.
Jason hasn't been to the beach much, and he really likes it! He has a magical way with words. David C. talk talk talk talk talk talk. Carly really enjoyed herself! She really enjoys herself mouthing off at Simon, apparently. We love ourselves a lot here on Idol, don't we? Did Kristy say Simon can be a butt?
FORD MUSIC VIDEO! brings us "I Want to Break Free." Now this is more to my high-concept liking, although the presence of the automobile seems more forced than usual until the very end. I must be critical of all things during this, the most TALENT-LADEN season of all. Also, I totally want Kristy's hair.
ELLIOTT! He is forever the smoovest. His mom just died which makes me :'(. This is like the only "returning contestant" song any of us could imagine listening to more than once and not as a joke or a dare, right? I'm not at all biased. His giant fake teeth still freak me out. OMG SWAY is singing backup! Oh no, he did the writing on the hand thing, but I forgive him, for he is motivated by grief. Ryan is overjoyed to once again be in the presence of Elliott's shortness. As am I! DON'T LEAVE ME, ELLIOTT. Now he's gone. Oh well.
This whole "Rio" Pussycat Doll Brazilian body wash thing is ... astounding. Chris immediately hits up that URL so that he may "unleash the enchantment of Brazil," which can only be done on the Internet. Chris: "I think that means being kidnapped and held for ransom."
Live callers (who I hate) give Paula the opportunity to get sassy with Simon. "Straight up, Simon, I'll never be forever your girl." Ooh la la! David C. is single? You don't say. RUBEN STAMPS! RUBEN STAMPS!!!
Mariah Carey is, first and foremost, a scientist. Her crystal-covered mic and stand are a wonder to behold. Wow, there are some ultrasonic things happening at the end there. Mariah says the whole world can tell I love myself some him, some Randy! Spectacular. We will never say bye-bye! Oh wait, we have to. But TO WHOM? It appears we have our bottom three:
I guess I have to mention they did the two-groups-of-three-pick-the-one-you're-in move (to which David A. chose to sit down for he is but an innocent child caught up in this adult game of deception and cruelty) although they SWITCHED IT UP! this year and put the wrong people in the groups to F everybody up. I sensed something weren't right but they still scared the crap out of me for a second.
Please take a moment to consider:
You know it's a dream come true.
Two businesses go up in smoke—but that's not all! And a local Boy Scout troop loses everything. TONIGHT on the Fox 9 News at 9!
And we're baaaaaack! Syesha is safe. Er. Brooke can't stop talking. Who goes home?
"Well, at least I made it past the top 10." That's the spirit! Between this and the revelation the dude won't sell her back her horse, this is not her night. Will that hug from Ryan make it all better? It should!!!
Well, you somehow won me over, dead-eyed robot girl, and I am strangely sad to see you go. That is a victory in and of itself. I salute you—you and your Indomitable Spirit!
Posted by Kim at April 16, 2008 11:26 PM | The Sound of Breaking GlassKim - I printed out your photo display of Carly and her twin and showed it off at work. I hope you're not too upset, but I am telling them all this wonderful Idol Blogger is the best thing on the interwebs while I show them your Carly picture!
I'd been saying from the beginning that the beady-eyed Kristy needed to go, but like Kim, she'd kind of grown on me over the last three or four weeks.
I can't imagine who is still voting for Syesha. She brings nothing to the dance. She's not bad, but there's nothing unique or spectacular about her.
I hope that David CLB wins and sells as many records as Taylor Hicks. Jerkface.
Posted by: pieman at April 17, 2008 07:51 AMOh no. I can't even read the rest of this right now because REFRESHING and MEDICINAL made me a sobbing wreck. I must take a walk and revisit this later.
Posted by: jane at April 17, 2008 04:43 PMPS That Jason/Mariah heart made it OK for me to love again. I need you to know that you are changing lives.
Was that really Sway singing backup? I turn to you for the answers.
Also, honestly, every syllable Brooke speaks makes me hate her more. I wasn't even mad at her in the beginning. Now I want to slap her hard. I hope she doesn't talk too much over the VICTORY SPEECHES of Syesha, Carly and David. YEAH! They are the best. I HOPE THEY ARE NEVER IN THE BOTTOM THREE EVER!
