American Idol - 25 Feb 09

(I figured it was easier to just start using the date in my titles, as I'm beginning to run out of clever ways of mentioning American Idol stuff.)

So, I just watched the show. Two words: Pea Ewe. Not everybody sucked, but it wasn't great. Let me give a quick run-down of the performances:

1. Jasmine Murray. Super hot. "Love song". Yikes. 1 star (out of 5)
2. Matt Giraud. Piano guy. Coldplay tune? Yikes and double yikes. 0 stars! Yes, it was that bad. He basically imploded.
3. Jeanine Vailes. Wow (legs). "This Love". 2.5 stars. Only appeal is sex appeal.
4. Norman Gentle. Hilarious! Jennifer Hudson song. 3 stars. I'd vote for him...
5. Allison the Red. 16 years old. "Alone". 4 stars. Great voice, but she kind of looks like the guy who played "Rudy" and Samwise Gangi in Lord of the rings wearing a red wig. Not a pretty girl, but a lot of talent.
6. Kris Allen. David Archeletta's older brother. "Man in the Mirror". 3.5 stars. Good voice, good singer, but forgettable.
7. Megan. Tattooed-Arm-Girl. "Let your hair down"(?). 4 stars. Great, smoky voice, but kept doing that stupid twirly thing. Really distracting.
8. Matt. The Welder. "She loves me". 4 stars. Great voice, but should never, ever try to "dance" in public again. Judges didn't like his song choice, but I thought he did a perfect rendition.
9. Jesse. Kinda blah. "Bette Davis eyes". 3.5 stars. IMHO, her personal best performance. Judges didn't dig it as much as I did, and I don't really like this girl.
10. Kai Kalama. Good looking Hawaiian kid. Some old timey tune. 3 stars. Sang very well, but was kind of boring, mostly for his song choice.
11. Mischavon. Another blah. "Drops of Jupiter". 3.5 stars. Surprisingly good performance, but was it good enough??
12. Adam Lambert. Mr. Musical Theater. 3 stars. Paula wishes she was a guy so she could date him. I thought the song choice was terrible, considering the pitch of his voice, but the judges loved him to varying degrees.

Ok, that's pretty much it. I wasn't particularly impressed with anybody tonight. I thought the tattooed-arm girl and the welder were really good. Also, I really liked Kris Allen's interpretation of "Man in the mirror." I'd love to see Jeanine go through, just because she's super hot, but I can't see it.

So, if I had to guess who's going to make it through, I'd say: Tattoo-girl, the Welder, and Adam, the Musical Theater guy. But, if it was entirely up to me, I'd pick Normal Gentle over Adam. Allison Red-Hair, aka Rudy, and Jesse, aka La Blah, were close runners-up, even though I'm not a fan of either one.

Next week, Blind Melon finally makes an appearance. To be honest, he's the only one I can think of in the next group. And, sad as it is, I'll predict right now that he makes it through, regardless of his performance. Kind of like when that one-armed girl made it through on SYTYCD. She was ok, but nobody was about to vote out a one-armed dancing girl right away! ;-)

Speaking of SYTYCD, I just read that the new season doesn't begin until May 21st! That blows! I don't know how much longer I can hold on!! Oops, sorry, this post was supposed to be LESS gay than last night's post.

Um, nothing to see here... move along...
