That was painful
Ok, let's have at it. Dolly Parton night was completely painful. The whole group standing around a piano singing 9 to 5? Did you see the expressions of their faces? David Cook was just praying that no one ever saw him singing that.
Syesha - Have you ever watched this show? Year after year they tell contestants not to do songs that Whitney has done (or Celine, etc) because you aren't going to live up to the previous versions. And don't get me wrong. I think Syesha did a decent job but you just know that when you choose a song like that you are begging for trouble.
Ramiele - Time to go honey. You are tiny but not nearly as cute as you think you are. And a good voice can't help terrible song choices and boring, boring, boring performances. Bottom three for you this week and I'd have a bag packed.
Jason - Best performance for him yet. He still stayed true to the style that suits him but he turned it up a bit and made a Dolly song listenable. That plus those eyes should keep him around this week. Let's hope that last week was just a fluke.
Carly - I had been getting tired of her. She just kept shouting her songs. So I was ready to not like her this week and when I heard her song choice, I was sure it would be a suckfest. But...it wasn't that bad. Simon's comment about wardrobe had me cracking up. Haven't I been saying that all along. Please help that girl pick something to wear!
David Cook - Still one of my favorites. What a pain in the ass that he has to continually say he does give credit for the covers of the songs he chooses. Let it go people. He isn't stealing anything. Move on. I would download this song in a heartbeat. Great job on a song I've never heard. Heard he was in the hospital this week for heart palpitations. Scary. Hope he's ok. He is going to do well after Idol. Oh, and whoever did the makeover on his hair--thank you! thank you!! thank you!!
Kristi - Bwahahahahha. I am not sure that even on country week she pulled this one off. She looked at home and the dress with bare feet thing was very country. But...boring! So let's hope she's finally outstayed her welcome. Gah.
David A - Did he actually get to sing a Jesus song this week? Holy hell I can't even begin to describe the amount of skeeviness this kid inspires. He's creepy. That look he gives the camera is just wrong. Unfortunately, this cheesy ass "all is wonderful, praise jeebus" bullshit is going to sell and he'll be back at the top. I can't wait until he stumbles and falls.
Brooke - Good song for her but she seems old. I like her, I do, and I don't want her to go home but there's something about her that makes her seem so very much older than the other contestants. She should still be around next week.
Michael Johns - The highlight of a very dull night. He was great and bluesy and hot, hot, hot. We will not discuss the bizarre ascot that he was wearing. (What the hell was that about?) But he was completely amazing and made one more song listenable last night.
Bottom three - Syesha, Ramiele, Kristi
Going home - Ramiele
I am still dreaming of the day that David A is booted from the show. But after last night's good-feelin' jesus fest, I think he's around for a while with old women and tweens declaring him "just the cutest thing." Ack.
