songs from the aughts.
Carrie 01 – She is soooo good. Outstanding. I disagree with Randy, she was on key. For the record, I hate the song, one of Martina’s worst songs ever (because I don’t like songs about God-fearin’ women goin’ wild, I’d like to think that God-fearin’ women choose to be good, but anyway…). However, she did an excellent job given what she was singing, and bless Simon, he’s English, and he knows that’s why he doesn’t like county. He’s giving her a record contract whether she wins or not, if I’m a guessin’ girl.
Frank said Paula doesn’t seem drunk tonight, but I say Paula’s trying not to seem drunk, because she understands that we at IMAO are talking.
Bo 02 – That song is too low for him, actually. He was losing the low notes and playing it off as “oops, i accidentally took the mic away too soon”, but Bo, you can’t fool the young muser. 🙂 That said, I adore the outfit, would love to see Frank walk around at Disney World with that on, and I’m voting for Bo tonight.
Frank says that the great thing about Bo is that he’s manly enough that guys can vote for him without feeling gay, unlike Constantine. Poor Constantine the Camera Molester.

Vonzell 03 – Wow, after her, show’s over, is there a reason to watch after the first 3? Anyway, how cool is it that Pops was the karate teacher? Hmm, a Christina Aguilera song (one of the few great ones), I’m interested. Frank said, “Christina, isn’t she the one who went all slutty?” to which I responded, “Yeah, unlike Britney.” I’m so witty. Ok, Vonzell was good, but the whole first half of the song was boring and just like Christina. I used to listen to this song while tending my amazing tomato garden. I miss gardening. What was I saying? Oh yes. I’ll still vote for her, because she is top 3 material.
Paula is back to her old self, dittoing exactly what Randy says while adding only a tinge of girliness.
Ryan says that Anthony will take on Celine Dion. Is that him publicly coming out? Just asking. Don’t get me wrong, I love Celine, love to sing Celine. But a guy singing…. sad. BTW, they showed Clay Not Gay earlier (I truly believe he’s straight, even if I’m the only one), and he totally looked like he never had an American Idol makeover. I love him anyway.
Anthony 04 – I must say, I’m totally awwwing over the bit with his parents and his dad crying and whatnot. Ok, turnaround for SarahK tonight. I’ve been bored with him for a long time, and tonight, I was mouthing the words to a song I don’t particularly love. Maybe it was the pinstripes, maybe the flawless voice (once we got past the incredibly boring beginning, but hey, he didn’t write it), but anyway, sigh.
Constantine 05 – The other day I was talking about AI at lunch with the preacher and his wife, and the preacher’s wife asked if Constantine was a real name or completely made up. I told her I’m sure he’s Greek, and whaddaya know, he’s as Greek as Athena. Anyway, a Nickelback song from Constantine, I would have much better loved this if Bo had sung it. Let’s face it, Con, you should leave these songs to Bo (please Bo, ask for Constantine’s advice when picking your songs) and just sing Duran Duran and other such showy songs where vocals aren’t so important.
How many times is Paula going to “having said that”? BTW, a total Fred Flinstone outfit on Ms. Abdul tonight.
Scott (number withheld) – Those parents sure are convincing about him being Mr. Sensitive considering his arrest record for domestic abuse or whatever. Anyway, what is he singing? Nondescript, boring, oh wait, I recognize that one line about dancing with a father. Ruben, nice to see ya again. Blah.
Simon’s right, and Paula knows it.
My order, FWIW (and it’s worth at least $1.05):
Carrie
Bo
Anthony
Vonzell
Constantine
Scott
the bottom 3 tomorrow night, though, will be Bo, Constantine, and Scott.
