Tonight, Dolly Parton is the guest singer on American Idol. I just can’t wait to hear Syesha singing country glitz, but Kristy Lee and Brooke should be right in their element. More interesting will be how David Cook manages to transform country to rock. This will be a week that rewards careful song selection and performing versatility, man.
Yet one more time, I don’t see Kristy going down this week. And you can take dat to da bank!

And, Dolly casts a fine shadow.
I repeat, Brooke and Kristy are not in danger tonight!
Hi Turkey!
This is a great Dolly Parton song and the worst version I have ever heard.
Sorry babe.
Knowing that this is not your favored genre, I shall make allowances for you this evening.
Refresh me on Brooke: Is she the one who did Here Comes the Sun?
I agree with Simon–this song requires passion and she lacked it.
I agree with Dolly.
I am not a Brook-Ite.
What did Dolly say?
Dolly is sitting on my lap.
Can’t tell you what she whispered in my ear. It’s a secret.
OK, OK. I’ll tell you.
She said, “Paula is full of shit.”
He’ll do the Frankie Laine version of Little Sparrow.
I liked it. I could listen to this guy.
Simon got on Carly’s case about “Blackbird.” Now he’s making noise about sparrows. What’s Simon got against birds?
I was in the kitchen so I missed it.
I take your word for it, Turkey.
This isn’t working for me.
She sounds winded and a bit off-key.
This is the karaoke version.
Yeah…”PITCHY”
Shaddup, Paula.
Ha! Simon said it.
Last week it was a “theme park,” this week a “cruise ship.”
I think it’s a safe bet to say that Simon probably does not do Disney.
I think next week it will be Disney Cruise Lines.
Now, Jason Castro will do an acoustic version of “Two Doors Down.”
For a few minutes there today, I thought maybe you had flown to Philadelphia.
Not Islands in the Stream?
Oh yeah, the Gibb Brothers wrote that song…Dolly and Kenny sang it.
Turkey must be out for a snack.
Philadelphia was one of my April Fools jokes.
Oh! I missed that joke. Shucks. You got me!
This isn’t too bad. Better than usual.
The other one was a Turkey article about our ex-quarterback getting a Rhodes Scholarship.
I regard this as non-memorable background radiation.
No, Randy. It was just a-ight.
What DOESN’T Paula love?
I’m with Simon.
Simon is one tough dude!
I bet that blog was fun to write!
Oh, Jay-sus! A bombastic version of Here You Come Again.
Carly is a legend in her own mind.
Yeah, the blog was great fun to write, especially because Morelli was a total idiot.
Ouch! That last high note hurt my ears.
This song was lighthearted until Carly wrapped herself around it.
Come on Simon. Brutal honesty!
If that’s one of the “better peformances of the night,” the next thirty minutes is going to be tiresome.
😀
Oh my God! I can’t believe that outfit! Good for Simon.
Good for Simon.
The ludes really are working for Paula tonight.
This is what I want from Simon. None of the politically correct “be nice” shit. Just tell it like it is.
And now, the pre-teen heartthrob.
I bet Kristy does Rocky Top.
If they do something to make him look older, I might actually like him.
This guy is pretty good.
Paula is irrelevant.
Yeah, I agree. Best so far. Until Kristy, that is.
If she does it with emotion (which she won’t) it’ll be a good song for her.
This is a good choice for her.
Git that microphone out yer mouf.
This is the best I’ve heard her.
I think country is her genre.
Oy, bare feet.
She’s safe this week, as I said.
Paula—shut the fuck up!
For once, I agree with Paula.
What Simon said. I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to her. She ain’t no Carrie Underwood.
No, I don’t agree with Simon on this one. Yes it was “forgetful,” but it was still better than last week!
But I still don’t mind looking at her for another week, which we will.
Yes, of course she will take on “I Will Always Love You–” it’s so Whitney Houston.
I will miss Chikezie doing Two Doors Down.
Somebody (Simon, will you, please?) needs to tell these singers to stop doing Whitney Houston-style singing! I’ve had it with that s–t.
It’s still incredible to me though that W.H. became a crackhead.
Why don’t you just call Whitney and tell her to sober up long enough to tell them herself?
Who’s left?
Whitney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I-I-I-I-I-I
JUst between us girls, Redhead, I agree with you completely on the Whitney shit. But guess what? We gonna have Mariah as guest mentor sometime soon, so we gotta put up with more-a dat shit, a-ight?
At least she’s not doing the whitney version.
Oops…I lied.
She gets an IS rating.
I hated it.
Fuck you, Paula!
Well, Simon sort of said it.
Syesha’s queen could be en prise.
I think Michael is gonna suck. I just got that feeling.
What’s with the Hugh Hefner look?
He might be from the Australian ghetto in Atlanta, but he ain’t no suthun country dude, as it were.
This isn’t working for him.
Or me.
He’s overdoing it.
He’s rushing to song too much.
Another IS rating.
Make that: He’s rushing the song too much.
What is “IS?”
Simon…please save us! Tell it like it is!
Paula is not a very articulate woman.
IS = It Sucks
I can’t believe Simon thinks that. I am not in agreement at all.
He was much better with the Freddie Mercury shit. I don’t know what Simon was listening to.
The Kid was the clear winner tonight.
Bottom three = Syesha, Ramiele, and Brooke
I want to see Carly’s face tattoo sing.
SHe could make like a ventriloquist, y’know?
Michael reminded me of Taylor Hicks on that one.
See you tomorrow, Red…if you come down.
Is Michael the Rock Guy?
Well, I’ll fix your computer so it can print. Maybe.
Michael is the Australian Queen guy.
I’ll be social 🙂
Are you bringing a guest?
In the meanwhile, good night and good luck.
No, Jenny is leaving for Chicago in the morning. It’s her dad’s 70th birthday.
Peace!
Oh. Well, you can still come over 🙂
Back atcha!
Until the Morrow!
