AI-Top 13

Hey guys,

Top 13 finally perform….Kara did something with her front teeth since last we saw her. Her mouth looks strange. Paula has the entire remains of a bird she ran over on her shoulder…but her hair and that dress (sans the feathers) are cute. I would like to go on record that there are no black guys in the competition, I guess we get the presidency but can’t get American Idol…can’t win them all! And there aren’t any clearly obviously obnoxiously gay men??? Boo to this foolishness.

Ooooh Mike Jacko week, this could be really bad. I’m hype.

Oh lil, there is so much that I want to make over on her from that clip. I’m pretty sure I hate this outfit. Its very captain and tenile. And you know I support big butted women, heck I am one and I love mine, however, white pants ON TELEVISION with a badunk-a-dunk is not the best of ideas. Its already big and that color just makes it more clearly enormo…and the tapered leg, the one shoulder ruffle-ay dios mio. But yes she sang and performed quite well. But who didn’t expect that?

EHHHHHH this blind guy…I am so sick of him already. I think his parents might be related…two kids, blind, ummm either that or you live next to something radioactive. Does he hate glasses? Barbers? Its not that I think tha he can’t sing, its just that I don’t think he is all that great. It’s just ok…and there were a lot of other ppl that were better that should have been here. And who got him up from the piano? All this walking around being blind, he needs to be more careful. Is paula making up stuff again? Biggest selling song in Norway?? What? He’s wack!! Why are you just now noticing that? I love that simon lies to Paula its like telling a “slow” child that a monster will in fact eat them if they don’t eat their veggies.

Danny-pls don’t talk about the dead wife in this clip! PYT is one of my favorites…hmmmm he slowed it down? Oh he just did the beginning and then almost messed up! There were a couple unnecessary screams in there but for the most part he sounded great. The dancing shows he is into it, but its affecting his breathing…either work out or stop dancing so hard!

Mike-the oil rigger guy, I forgot that he was here…he can actually sing and he’s such a pretty/handsome guy, he looks like a model in the big and tall catalog, or JcPenny’s. However the way he is saying “yew r not alyune” the way he is saying the words is funny.

Jasmine-they made her weave longer…I wonder why. I’m glad they softened up her makeup she was looking too old, at least now she looks near to her age. But man this dress looks cheap, it is a recession, I wonder if its from the Alley?? Jess knows about that. Oh good her mama got new hair.

Chris-Good lord his child bride! She is like 11….This is a good song choice for him. It fits his voice and his little bit of style. Cute for him, and his likely mormon, fundamentalist behind. There were some ugly notes at the end, but overall it was pretty ok. Simon is right, the guitar was unnecessary.

Allison-they toned down her hair. Kudos to them. She is good, but I got bored, I didn’t realize till paula started talking that she was done…

ANOOP!! What did they do to his hair? I guess its not horrible…he’s still adorable. Anoop is a little cock eyed, but I still love him. I knew he would do beat it…but is it a singing song?? I liked it, it was fun. It’s not a singing song…his vocals are stronger then that.

Jorge-I love that he is Puerto Rican…this is like a jazzy quiet storm version of this song. I dig it. I liked it, I thought he was great. Kara and all this “feeling” shut up! Awww pobrecito, they did not love him tonight. Eesh.

I hate this Megan girl, she is so pointless other then to be a cute blonde with big boobs. Gosh her mom looks young. She looked better with browner hair. This is the dumbest performance ever. Rockin Robin? Its not even a real song, wasn’t this on a kids album or a commercial or something. Her voice has nothing special about it, when she actually just sings. Her audition was different b/c she choose an affected…did she just do a bird noise, are you kidding? WHAT SIGNATURE???????????? Why are they soft on her, she sang a song with nothing in it!! Nothing. Anoop and Jorge got yelled at and she gets…well here is Simon to be a real critic, I appreciate his honesty.

Adam- I forgot about him being in this compettion, he just did a mike jacko head tilt, I love it. I guess he counts as obviously gay. He’ll have to do. His breathing is a problem for me…he is always taking too many breathes between notes. And this song doesn’t require all the screaming that he is doing. This performance made me tense, like I had called someone black or white and he was putting me in my place. Sheesh. This braclet that paula is wearing with this giant, medallion…so basically the dead wife guy and him are in the finals? No one would even notice him if her were a blonde kid with a regular hair cut, his face is so all gay American, it’s the hair ONLY that gives him the edge.

Matt-he looks so much like his mom! His parents are divorced…I love this song too. Human nature, the melody is so lovely. I thought that was lovely. He did a great job. Sadly he doesn’t want to be Justin or Robin he wants to be Coldplay…which is dumb.

Alexis: this is a sexy look, but I like it for her. I have got to get one of these chain link necklaces…I needed one like 5 months ago! I also like her shoes….she is singing this song though, I liked it very much. I’m sure Adam wanted this song first. Oh but b/c they jacked up her phone number no one will vote for her.

Change to the show-I bet they will take the bottom 3 or so and pick which ones they think should go home…We’ll shall see.

AI: The Wildcard Show

Jessi-Ambitious song, she really is vamping it up these days…but in a mom sorta way. Like, what do those boots and that mini sweater have to do with that dress? Or with each other for that matter. It was just ok. All this swagger that Kara talks about, she’s an idiot.

Matt-he better come with something much better this time. His since of style is so contrived. He looks like he went to H&M saw this on a mannequin and bought all the pieces. None of them really fit him (simon agreed). These are some ugly notes that he is hitting in this middle/end part. And why choose a song with only like 25 words in it? But yeah this is a ton better then last week. I wasn’t as moved by it as the judges were. But I wouldn’t be mad if he were part of the 12.

Megan-I don’t recall being all that impressed with her the first time….Oh this is the dancing awkward girl, her stage presence is like a little girl or a kids performer on Disney or maybe Nick I mean she does have tattoos. But yeah she was a waste of space in this show. She’s just so not that interesting, and not that great of a singer, and lately Paula doesn’t comment on ppl’s singing, she comments all around it but doesn’t say much about ppls actual singing. I agree this was a good song for her, but I’m not sure that she can really sing, she’s always doing some silly song with an even sillier dance…sigh.

Von-Oh god not MORE honest real emtion…what is this voice he is singing in? He sounds like the littlest child molester. After the child molester voice ended I liked the end of it…yeah that song sounds like what he would sing on a woman’s answering machine just before he kidnaps, kills, and wears her skin.

Jasmine-I coulsdn’t figure out what is wrong with her face, and someone pointed out that she doesn’t have a forehead! And ding, ding that’s it…Awww I loved Mulan, all young girls on this show sing this song. She is singing the song well though, that is a cute little homecoming dress she has on. Good for her, I wouldn’t be mad if she made it in as well.

Ricky-True story, while he was talking I thought to myself he should sing Superstitious, I kid you not. 30 seconds later Ryan announces that he is singing Superstitious…excuse me while I go pray. Ok back to Ricky-I think maybe that I like this kid. He can sing but its not over the top theatrical, he’s just a good tight jeans wearing singer, which I like. How come no one this season can dance or dance on beat? All this talk of “self indulgence” I’m pretty sure they don’t know what it means.

Tatiana-I just want to gouge my eyes and ear drums out. These speeches of hers with the pained looks on her face, this one about “love” just makes me want to stab her. And she seems to be unaware that she has a bit of a gut, like a 3 months prego gut. I’m glad it doesn’t bother her, but it bothers me…so can she loosen up the clothes. That may be the best I’ve ever heard her sing though…the deep bow…the yelling…the talking while the judges talk…I thought she sang the song last time-she is an idiot…the kneeling…(but I do actually like the dress she is wearing, I’d be cute in it)

Anoop! Why is he singing the same song?????????? At least we’ve never seen him perform
Oh you are killing me! I loved it! I got up danced and like Paula, whoooo that took me back! Although my mother made me throw that tape away because it had the “D” word in it.  He was great, he is totally getting in the 12.

Jasmine is in…they love her too much not to…aww Ricky I like him…Megan and Tatiana it better be NEITHER-Megan boo, and here go the histrionics with Tati…Ha so my DVR (tivo) just cut off before the last decision….hmmm, I’ll look online. I can’t believe that dumb megan girl beat the dueling piano guy...I’m assuming Anoop made it…yep I checked the internet and sure enough Anoop and the piano guy made it. That’s cool. I’m for it.

I know I’m looking forward to hear what they all got next week! And was it just me or did it seem like the entire beginning process took like 6 months!

AI: Group 3-Top 36

Hey all,

Its finally the last group of the 36, and then some complicated means of choosing three others happens this or next week. Its all very confusing. But on to the show.

Oh Von…I would like you stop screaming at me, I’d also like you to stop looking at me with those creepy overly excited eyeballs. Aww he is wearing his good church suit, with a t-shirt and tennis shoes…yeah unforch for him, while that is a real style, that is the wrong sort of suit for it. Precious, he was trying to be fashionable. I feel like Emo baby is more then enough affected singing for this competition, if Von is going to be on it too we are going to be overwhelmed with oversinging, over performing musical theatre quasi-boys. Ladies, what have we learned here? Never put your sons into musical theatre! Did you see how he reacted to being compared to Clay…he was thinking, “NO, I’m not ready to come out of the closet yet!!!!!!!! How did they know?” Did Kara talk?

Taylor-the amazon…This is a super hard song to sing…I wouldn’t recommend it. And sure enough…it’s a bit rough in the beginning. When she gets to the hook its better. This outfit is kind of a hot mess. Just way too much going on with this look. Why is she crying? How would you find out what its like to go shopping with Taylor by her singing a song?? That doesn’t make sense. Well at least she is young and can come back. Sadly she is likely going home.

Hey its Awkward Boy-Alex! I love this kid, short reps, low weight-hilarious. Oh God the dancing!! Its so terrible. But endearing. He sounds good in an odd way for some notes, but great for other notes…Dropping the mic stand only makes me love him more. I think its funny that he wants to dance so hard for such a slow melancholy song…ha. His dad is equally as dorky…so did Paula like it or not? Well Simon certainly didn’t. Well….i guess he did kinda scream it…

Arianna-she is irritatingly cute to me for some reason. She looks like Disneyland, or like she should be in the Young Ppl Ask book. Lol. This is a pretty song, but it’s a song you sing when you are already in top 12…not when you are trying to get in..b/c who will ever remember/know this song? She can sing though. Interestingly she doesn’t look as pretty tonight, and that last note made me cringe. OOOhhh it’s the toothy grin that makes me hate her….ahhh now I see.

I fear Ju’Not is about to make me mad with his song choice. Awww I like this Hey there Deliliah…oooooo this is the Plain White Tee’s song? Who are they? I thought this was an old Beatles song…lol. Oops. This song is a bit slow, plain…it doesn’t really give him the opportunity to sing his full potential, but it was calming I guess. I like him. What is this story that he is telling about Cortizone? Oh for his asthma, yeah non LA ppl have a hard time with asthma when they first get here. That brown layer of air that lives over our city, apparently isn’t good for some ppl, who would have thought!?

Kristen-The two toned girl-yeah she looks much better, like much better. It’s a cute dress for brunch or something with her mother (I wrote that before Simon said it). Yeah her performance was karoke-esq, but it proves she can sing. She is just a strange girl…

Nathaniel!!!!! My gay bestfriend! So does he take the woman’s spot or the man’s if he makes it? Funny thing, I like this Meatloaf song, mostly because I remember the video playing on VH1 in the wee hours when I was growing up. He can really sing though! He’s picked up a few pounds since last we’ve seen him, he’s not fitting into his skinny jeans quite so well….is he pregnant? Obviously I love the dancing/hopping/thigh slapping…clearly he is magic! So b/c you don’t like to look at him, he’s a bad singer?? I don’t think so….Nate 4Ever. They are spending so much time talking to him! And his grandma wasn’t that into it..lol Ok that whole sitting on Paula’s lap, giving his head band to Simon and Ryan…I think they are trying to steal my best friend and I’m pretty sure that I don’t appreciate it! They don’t love him like I do.

Felicia Barton-Who?? Wow she looks better with bangs…you did not hope that they would call you back…that doesn’t happen…lies, to cover over the fact that some chick got kicked off. It’s like she got a stylist already, she looks fab. Oh that was an ugly note there in the chorus. Hmmmm, she is making some interesting adjustments to the song, not sure I’m loving it and I’m not sure that its actually helping her.

Scott-the blind guy that refuses to wear glasses or get a haircut. Sigh. What are the parameters for mocking blind ppl? And how soft do you expect the judges to be on him? I am expecting them to dust him with baby powder and then gently critique his bare bum with feathers. Why did he get up? Does he know where the end of the stage is? Oh Lord. Please don’t (do) let there be an accident. I can barely focus on his singing for all my imagining him (not) falling….He was pretty good, but I’m pretty sure they play that song on the smooth jazz station and therefore doc’s offices, and elevators around the world, but for the threat of him falling I would have gone to sleep. Let the soft peddle critique begin…”you are so amazing, you are blind and yet you continue to live! Amazing!”…You’ll remember him b/c HE IS BLIND!!! Not Talented just BLIND. That was the most awkward High-Five ever! They are treating him like he is retarded and not blind…wait, is he also retarded?

Kendall-Her dad’s alligator dance…I would pretend not to know him. This girl knows that she looks good in yellow and has some fab clothes. But everything about her reminds me of one of those sorority trust fund W&L girls that I used to loathe. Her mom’s reflective mirrored trench coat, ay dios mio…

Jorge-The eyebrows-I like him b/c he’s from Puerto Rico! And b/c he reminds me of a young Michael Jackson…for a second I thought he switched to Spanish in the middle of the song. He sings beautifully. But this song is just one big note after another…Simon I totally agree!!! He is Spanish, of course he should sing with his accent! It is so patronizing, and xenophobic, they are going to get some angry letters about this crap. If I was Spanish I’d be pissed…Ok the crying, and the emotional Spanish speaking…and they being like, “yes monkey talk to us in your funny little language”…so condescending…white ppl I tell you!  Good thing you Rudy’s have all these black children.

Lil Rounds-Yay the hair is all one color! Yay! Love this dress. That was great! That gal can sang!

I predict-Lil, The blind guy, and Nathaniel or Jorge…

We’ll see tomorrow.
