My buddy Sean thinks I'm obsessed with American Idol because as he says, it's the only thing I seem to blog about these days. Well, he's half right. Yes I've been blogging about AI a lot lately, but if I'm obsessed about anything, it's Evil Russ, Boston Rob and all things Survivor!
However, in honour of Sean (or perhaps in spite of him - heh heh), I feel I must comment on last night's Idol show. So, here we go.....
One week ago I couldn't imagine a Season 9 show in which Siobhan Magnus wouldn't be one of the top two performers of the night, but last night I was in for a shock. It's not that Siobhan was particularly bad, but in comparison to her performances of the last two weeks, and some spectacular performances by some of the other competitors this week, I have Siobhan finishing in a solid sixth place out of ten. I know, how crazy is that?!??
I have to give the performance of the night to Lee Dewyze who performed Cornelius Borthers' "Treat Her Like a Lady". The dude FINALLY came out of his shell and Simon told him that this was the night that may change his life forever!
A close second was Casey James who performed Sam and Dave's "Hold On, I'm Coming". His vocals were fantastic and for the first time on this show, I bought him as a rock star.
If Casey was 2, then 2a is most definitely Crystal Bowersox. MamaSox sang one of my favourite songs, "Georgia on My Mind". She looked gorgeous (well, as gorgeous as she can look), and sounded incredible!
Big Mike (Michael Lynche) gave what I think was his best performance of the season (sorry Kara, his version of "This Woman's Work" just wasn't that good), and Andrew Garcia returned from wherever the hell he's been hiding with a brilliant rendition of Chris Brown's "Forever".
Teenagers Katie Stevens and Aaron Kelly sang ok (at least they were both in key), but their performances left me bored - as they ALWAYS do.
Megan 2.0 was very disappointing. Didi Benami performed "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted", and if I'm being honest, I have to say it really wasn't good. But, seeing as how there's a good chance she could be the Other Other Future Mrs. Meanie, how can I say anything negative about her performance?? Uhhhh, I think I kind of just did. Whoops.
Tim Urban. My God, can we just get rid of this dude already?? He can't sing. He can't dance. He can't even take constructive criticism. I can only hope that this is the week America finally wakes up and tosses him off the show!
Ok, here are my predictions:
Bottom 3 - Tim Urban, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens
Voted out - Tim Urban (there will be no judges save wasted on this guy)
