Simon is wearing an undershirt under his usual undershirt.
Ramiele is off-key.
But once she got going, she got going.
Your favorite hairboy coming up.
Hey, I think I’m talking to myself here!
Hey Turkey!
Sorry I’m late–you know, running practice and all. Also, thought the show started at 8pm–whoops!
Catch me up, Turkey! Why did Simon just give the hair dude a dressing down?
I mean I thought the show started at 9pm–whoops again!
Because he was too ordinary.
This is the typical Whitney Houston style. So sick of it.
How’s it going, Turkey?
Syesha is pretty but nothing special musically. We don’t need another Whitney.
I’m up to my ears in work and visited the urologist today, so I’m in a foul mood. Perfect for American Idol.
I think Randy wants to get into her pants.
I thought she did a pretty good job but I didn’t like it.
Gotta agree with Simon—plus, we don’t need another Whitney clone.
I take it you’re pissed.
🙂
I like this kid Chikezie. He has the guts to do things his way and if people don’t like it he tries something else. If the material is right, he can belt out the damn songs, man.
Pissed, so to speak. 😀
Is Chikezie the guy who puts a country twang in the songs?
Are you doing okay health-wise?
He did that a couple of times, but he’s at his best with rock and soul.
Me…healthwise? I’m just getting old.
Yeah, getting older sucks.
Everything starts falling apart at 60.
I like this kid. I like his voice. And I like the way he emotes the song.
Can’t wait.
He can out-Legend John Legend.
This guy is pretty good.
The chorus was a nice touch.
Whattya t’ink?
I like “old school” soul.
I think Randy went to the urlologist today.
Besides it was more 1980s style than “old school.”
I thought Paula was the one that was pissed (:
Simon: Cheesy Chikezie
Simon really came down on him.
What did you think?
Poor guy doesn’t look happy.
Simon was right about that. Chikezie is at his best when he’s making the songs his own, man.
Oh god, not Sting 🙁
But I would have been pleased to put a tip in his jar for that performance.
Yeah, I agree.
He sure does have a cheering section.
What? We’re going to spread a little happiness?
I liked Dune. LOL
What’s she gonna do? Every Breath I Take?
I like a little hoarseness in my babes.
Her mom’s pretty hot.
Her hands look 86 years old in that light.
Her voice is pretty shakey.
I do not like this.
Yeah, it was an average-ass performance.
Oh, shut up, Paula!
It was NOT great, Paula.
Thumbs down.
Paula’s all sparkly again this week. Looks good on her.
I would have been a lot tougher on her. I thought it sucked.
Did you go to the gynecologist today?
Michael Johns, the forgotten man.
Carly Smithson, a legend in her own mind.
Maybe Carly has some new tattoos.
Michael has a nice voice and he’s good looking, which keeps him going from week to week. Alas, he’s good, but nothing special.
His mother has too many teeth.
Oh, Christ. Zombie Nation.
Yeah! I like the way the guy just went out in a no-holding back way.
Didn’t he do Queen in an early show?
He does them well!
Freddie Mercury is turning over in his grave.
He did, in fact, do Bohemian Rhapsody quite well.
He can bring excitement to a room with that kinda stuff.
OK, so like I’m pretty much with Simon.
Ben, I do not get this:
“Did you go to the gynecologist today?”
Explain, please.
Ditto, Simon.
I hate this song. Some of the worst lyrics ever written.
Talk about melodrama.
She had it…then she lost it by keeping at the same energy level for too long.
Well, it’s like I went to the urologist, which is why I was making critically negative comments about the singers, as it were, so in response to one of yours, I asked whether you had gone to an analogous medical practitioner today. It was an attempt at obtuse humor.
Hated the song. Only Bonnie Tyler could do that song.
Randy’s right. Paula’s full of shit, as usual.
Yes, Randy and Simon got it right. She did seem overly tense.
Good point, Simon.
Oh, boy. The pre-teen idol.
I get that but why a gyno…why not a urologist also?
What’s your snack tonight, Turkey?
Mine is Orville however-you-spell-his-last name microwave popcorn, “movie theatre butter, light.”
Because I’m a male Chauvinist pig who doesn’t think women go to dickdocs.
My snack tonight is a NutriSystem beef stroganoff.
Well I went to a urologist for quite a while–in fact, I recommended him to Bob and he wound up going to him, too.
I’ve never heard this song.
Didn’t miss much.
Well, I stand corrected.
Yeah, I’m not familiar with the song, either, and I think it was just a fair performance.
What a dumb comment from Paula!
I agree with Simon and his urologist.
Ha ha! Simon is hilarious!
I think he nailed it. It did tend to remind me of those Kids of the Kingdom songs at Disney years ago.
Let’s get Kristi over with so I can get back to work!
Isn’t Kristi you little hottie?
Math Guy wonders when he should call you for lunch.
I’m still hungry. Running in that cold air sure did work up a nice appetite!
Hmmm, what can I have?
I think I’ll be able to do lunch next week.
I don’t think Garth Brooks has anything to worry about.
Look, I love America–
but I HATE this song.
And her performance just doesn’t make it.
Bye Bye Kristi.
EWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww … what a klunker!
HaHa Ben–good one!
OMG….a total abortion!
She may figure they wouldn’t dare give her the boot for doing a patriotic song.
Paula is speechless.
Simon won’t think that’s very good when he watches it on TV.
Wow her other performances must have sucked for Simon to say that.
Huh? Simon, you have got to be kidding about the song. What is with you???
Simon wants to get into her pants.
Is David the rocker dude?
After all, she said, “I can knock your socks off and you know it!” to him last week. Maybe he’s already been there.
I thought Simon was interested in, shall we say, another gender.
David is the rocker dude with the attitude you don’t like.
Good point, Ben-O.
Nobody is quite certain of Simon’s romantic preferences, other than for himself.
He had some competition tonight from the guy (Michael?) who did the Queen tunes. He was really good.
I think Michael can perform bigger than David.
A little attitude adds some edge to the show.
David strikes me as a poser.
I’m happy that you’ve come around on that issue.
They’re ALL posers.
Actually, he seems like a pretty nice guy in these clips.
Wow…a complete new take on Billie Jean.
Interesting. I never would have thought of slowing this song down but it seems to work BUT
it’s pretty pretentious, just like he is as a performer.
He claims to have had a normal middle-American upbringing.
Actually, I like this more and more. Great work on the chorus.
Yeah, I like him updating the thing and doing it his way.
Didn’t like the ending though.
Yeah, pretty original move on his part.
Paula needs to go to the proctologist.
HAHA!
Good job, Dave old boy. Rather.
I don’t think it was perfect but I think it was hot.
Ramiele may be going home.
OK…I’m back to work. I think Kristi gotta go, but Brooke might buy the farm.
Or Jason.
Seeya tomorrow night, maybe, perhaps.
Buenas noches 🙂
The Redhead is going out tomorrow evening, Turkey so won’t be present for the big eject.
Let me know how it goes!
See you next Tuesday!
(:
See you!
