American Idol 5 top 8 elimination
Ryan thinks it's a good thing that tonight's show is an hour. Simon says America appreciates a bit of honesty. Yeah, about you and Kellie... forget it, I'm too tired. Anyway, the theme of Ryan's comments this year seems to be that Simon is grumpy and never says anything good. Maybe he's as disappointed in what this top 12 has turned out to be as I am? This is my 3rd full season, and I watched the last several weeks of season 2. This is definitely the worst top group I've seen. They're one of the most talented top groups, but they've been the messiest, the most erratic, the most boring, the most disappointing. Probably because they could have been the best, but it's just been one big suck with a few ok moments. Oh no. They're doing a group song. Ok, are they all singing the same medley together? Because to me they appear to all be on different medleys... Ok, Bucky should've sang Under Pressure last night. This montage medley is killing me, I just can't wait for it to be over. Ford commercial. No comment. Goodness, I'm sooooo tired today. The messages from the parents... I liked the McParents, they were cute and funny, I see where Kat gets her McHumor. And wow, Kellie has a brother? Oh nooooo, he's soooo cute, and he's cute for real. Doggone. Chris is wearing too much eyeliner again. Egads, he really for reals needs to fire that stylist. Taylor, Katharine, Chris are safe. Kellie's next in the row, so I'm not hopeful. Looks like my bottom 3 prediction could be right. Kellie's grampa seems nice. Where did he go wrong. Anyway, she's safe. This season sucks hard. The bit with Ryan, Kellie, and the handkerchief was as staged as Kellie's naivete. If I misspelled that, I'm tired. The bit with Elliott's mom made me cry. I want him to win it all now. Elliott's in the bottom 3. He sings again. He's got such a great voice, I'm baffled by him being in the bottom 3. Really I am. I know a lot of people just don't get him (he's never impressed Frank much). Ace's family seems really fun. He's singing again, because he's in the bottom 3 again. Mike Modano's Mama, this is even worse than last night. Apparently hockey's on the brain. Bucky's brought new life to his town. Almost cried at that one too. I just hope it's Paris in the bottom 3. And the bottom 3 are Elliott, Bucky, Ace. Who knows. Mandisa went last week, so maybe it'll be Elliott, the best guy voice. It should be Ace, hands down. Simon predicts Ace. Elliott's teeny up there between Elliott and Ace. And Bucky is going home, so we have another week of the blasted falsetto. Even if I tried, I don't think I could keep myself from dancing to "Bad Day". I love it so much, it's the only thing they're doing right with this season. But I will say... AN HOUR LONG SHOW AND WE STILL ONLY GET 1 VERSE OF THE BYE-BYE SONG? That's so wrong. I'm so bored that I couldn't even yell at the idiot when she started in. But man, should tell her the the entire hour is not about her. Why can't I stop watching? I guess I just keep hoping something good or something really egregious will happen (other than Kellie Pickler even being in the top 12), or someone will bust out and give *the* performance. Kellie will eat capers on her salad and think they're fish eyes, then she'll fall off her stilettos, Captain Tightpants's pants will split and reveal that he wears tighty whiteys (y'all know it's true, with pants that tight, there's no way Taylor wears boxers), Paris will trip on her weave, Katharine will sing something without putting a Broadway twist on it, or she'll *not* make a self-effacing comment. Chris will sing an 'NSYNC song and sound like a popstar (Simon will hate it). Elliott will wear a hat or sing without soul in his voice, and Simon will say it was his best performance ever, and I'll hate it. I'll stop wondering what Ace is doing in the audience when they show his older brother, and Ace will *not* butcher a song. Maybe that's why I'm still watching. But I won't last much longer. What an average lineup. 5 Responses To "American Idol 5 top 8 elimination"
I agree. This group is so "blah" I'm tempted to find something else to watch but I guess I have "messy car accident syndrome" where I just can't help but look. Anyway, I was truly distressed that Bucky went and not Ace (I was starting to like Bucky and don't think I could hate Ace any worse but I guess I'll get my chance). On the plus side, I adore Rod Stewart so I'll be happy to see him (as long as Ace doesn't pick my favorite song, "Maggie May") next week. #1 - Posted by: jonag on April 13, 2006 01:12 AMHave you noticed they stopped bragging about the record number of votes each week? The wheels are coming off the AI juggernaut. I think PFLAG is backing Ace hard. #2 - Posted by: Muntz on April 13, 2006 08:22 AMI'm not impressed with Elliot, either. I can't recall a single song he's done other than the Garth Brooks one. He must be a singer's singer. #3 - Posted by: Chris on April 13, 2006 08:35 AMSuggestions for the Rod Stewart week songs: Katharine – First Cut Is The Deepest; You’re In My Heart Elliot – This Old Heart of Mine; I Was Only Joking Taylor – Forever Young; People Get Ready Paris – Reason to Believe; They Can’t Ace – Ain’t Love a Bitch; Some Guys Have All the Luck Chris – Passion; Hot Legs Kellie – Da Ya Think I’m Sexy; It Had To Be You It's outrageous that Mandisa was voted out. BTW - this seems the likeliest reason: http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2006/04/was_mandisa_eli.html Speculation as to why the Boulder reject is still on the show seems accurate too. #4 - Posted by: Gregg the obscure on April 13, 2006 11:29 AMDo you guys get vh1 over there? have a look @ simons fabulous life its unbelievable hes a total metro he gets his eyebrows done & his chest WAXED!!!!!
