Adam Will Be Disco Queen This Week

Posted on April 21, 2009 Written by The Mouse Who Ate Xanax

The trail to the Adam Lambert coronation as our next American Idol wends a winding path through musical mediocrity, as the six remaining overmatched challengers repeatedly miss the mark. The show’s new producers (since the product was sold by Nigel Lithgoe after last season) have found it necessary to resort to multiple gimmicks and vacuous cheerleading by the so-called judges in order to maintain some level of interest by the viewing public.

The vaunted “judges’ save” was finally employed last week to save Matt Giraud, who by Simon Cowell’s own admission has no chance to win the competition. As the judges’ save required unanimous agreement, why the hell did Cowell not just assert his negativity by letting Giraud go home? Either the judges wanted to play with their new toy or the producers declared that they would use it last week, lest it not be used.

The upshot is that we get to see Matt for one more week as he and the other chaff desperately chase the front running wheat.

This week, two contestants will be eliminated. That’ll fix them! Now that the judges’ save has been used, there can be no more such manipulation. It is all up to the public vote at this point.

The theme for the week is disco. Why reprise this crappy, dead genre? Who the hell wants to hear all those Korg synthesizers emulating violins again? I sure as hell don’t. As a matter of fact, I won’t. There’s a more important and much more entertaining Stanley Cup hockey game to watch, and I’m damn well going to watch it. I’ll catch up with Idol during the intermissions. Not that anything I’ll see matters. Adam is basically uncontested and it’s a major bore watching all the pretenders screw up their attempts at competition.

May 20 cannot come too soon. No matter who Lambert’s last remaining opponent might be, I feel sorry for him or her. No one in this crew can match Adam’s seasoning, showmanship, flamboyance, and fruitiness (which for some unexplained reason is presently in vogue). Accordingly, I have to ask: How many viewers are tuning in each week to watch Adam Lambert and only Adam Lambert?

    I concur with Sir Mouse’s opinions at this point. While he watches the game, I will be here to offer my perspective of the increasingly boring AI proceedings. I am, however, looking forward to Adam’s performance. My guess is he will pick a Bee Gees tune as he’s got the falsetto down. We shall see!

    0-0 at the first intermission, and I agree with Randy and Kara. She sucked. It was a “who cares” performance.

    The Redhead is in the house and just watched Lil give the opening performance, I’m Every Woman. Let’s put it this way, it sucked.

    Kara said doing this song, “wasn’t worth the wait.”

    Paula defends Lil since she has had a sore throat. Still she isn’t enthused.

    (Randy didn’t like it either.)

    Lil says, hey guys, I had fun tonight.

    Randy said: “Sweetheart, I’m glad you had fun because I think this will be your final shot tonight.”

    I agree with all the judges. She’s going home tomorrow.

    Now she’s being defensive which isn’t helping her case. She was off-key and flat. Put the high heels in the suitcase, hon.

    That’s Hollywood.

    Paula: “…you found a perfect fit.”

    Simon: “It was original…well thought out…whether you buy or like ladies underwear, I couldn’t care less, it was a great performance.”

    Kira: “I agree with Randy on the performance. [Too slow.] I agree you are one of the best singers.”

    Paula: “The word compromise does not even belong in your musical vocab. You hit it off the charts.”

    Randy: “So dawg. Dude, you are ready right now. You have major league going on.”

    Kira: “Adam, you’re brilliant. I don’t know what else to say.”

    Paula: “I felt your pain…it’s as if you tore your heart out and left it on the stage.”

    Simon: “I thought you were going to do Donna Summer. It was original. I’ve never heard the song sung like that before. The vocals were immaculate.”

    Adam is thanking the man who helped him “come up with that arrangement.” Yeah, Adam always gives the props out.

  34. The Redhead says

    April 21, 2009 at 8:43 pm

    When Adam gives the shout-outs to the band, it makes it obvious he knows he is the best performer on the show, and furthermore, a terrific performer overall. But it comes across as being conceited and I’m turned off by it.
