Happy Geek Night
I admit it. I was actually excited about tonight. But then again, I am a huge showtunes geek. What can I say? We all have our secrets.
Tonight's top performance -
I think this one is a tie between Syesha, whose attitude actually worked in her favor, and Carly, who finally chose a good song for her.
Syesha looked amazing and damn well should just head on over to Broadway and start her career there.
And Carly? So very glad she didn't bore the crap out of us with "All I Ask of You" and had a little fun with JC Superstar. Fun, fun, fun!
David C threw everyone off by doing the broadway tune as is. He's a showtunes geek too. So there! But damn, he sang the crap out of that song. Remember how creepy he looked in the beginning of the season? When did he get hot? How the hell did that happen?
Now, and this pains me to say, David A actually did alright tonight. He struggled to sing with his eyes open and kept the lip licking and panting to a minimum. Plus, he was really the only one to change things up and make a pop song out of a showtune. (Not that a lot of ALW's songs aren't "poppy" to begin with. Isn't that the usually complaint from showtune geeks?) Oh, and how funny was ALW. "I have two pieces of advice: one - stop singing with your eyes closed and two - stop singing with your eyes closed." I almost fell off the bed laughing.
Jason - Please, for the love of all that's good and hot, work on your interview skills. People want to love you. And then...never, ever, ever sing Memory again. No one should have chosen that tonight. Big mistake. And you aren't a power ballad diva. There were so many cool songs you could have chosen and you didn't even bother. You are hoping that the cute factor keeps you around another week but I'm not sure it will. I'll get right in line to buy your CD, but if it weren't for Brooke's gaffe, I would say you were the easy choice to go.
Brooke - You're done. Pack it up and go home. You took one of my favorite ALW songs and butchered it 1 1/2 times. You can't start over. You did that once before and should know better. At least being on the brink of tears kept her from talking during the judges critiques though. That's something.
So, not as much fun as I would have hoped but a couple of good performances. I might download Syesha, Carly and David C. So, they're my top three, leaving the others in the bottom.
Going home? Brooke, with the possibility of Jason. :(
Be still my heart! While Dial Idol is predicting that David Cook has the most votes and Carly, Brooke and Jason are the bottom three...for the first time, David A's margin of error leaves him in the possibility of being bottom three.
It probably won't happen and he definitely isn't going home, but it's so nice to know that it's getting closer and closer.
See ya!
