What? They’re not going to ignore all the elephants in Paula’s dressing room?
So this week’s show is geared toward Carrie and Bo making the finals. Country? Carrie and Bo.
Ok. I’m through with Carrie. All they had to do was announce the song she’s singing, and I’m done with her.
Carrie 01 – Sin Wagon. Bad girl streak continues. Is she trying to make a point? Apparently I’m the only one who hated it, but oh I do hate vile songs. Except “I Want Your Sex” and “Sexual Healing”. Always loved those songs. Her poor father.
Bo 02 – He has a very Travis Tritt voice, so he picked the right artist. Boring song, though I do like how he sings it. Very average performance from Bo, but at least it wasn’t Sin Wagon. I’m sorry, was that Paula giving criticism? I have to agree with Simon.
What a cute grama Bo has. Vote for Bo’s grama!
Vonzell 03 – I hope her second one is much better. Forgot the words, redeemed herself with the ending… that last high note almost did her in, but she held onto it ok. Kinda boring.
Hey Paula. Is Vonzell a beautiful performer? I don’t know what’s up with the Vonz, but I just want to give her a big hug and make her some hot chocolate.
Anthony 04 – I’m Already There. That song is so overplayed. Anthony’s much the same every week, but I have to admit. I’d buy his CD single just to hear him croon the same note over and over.
News flash for Simon: Country Music is Hokey. See: George Strait, Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Reba McEntyre (oh, for serious, intense hokeyness), Garth Brooks, Jimmy Wayne, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney… Seriously.
Part 2:
Carrie 01 – Really good. Too bad I’ve already turned against her and hold a grudge.
Bo 02 – I like these shades much better than the ones he’s been wearing recently. This is the first outstanding performance of tonight, but I almost can’t hear it because they’ve still not fired the people working the sound so horribly this season.
Vonzell 03 – Wow, she looks so much like Jennifer Garner, maybe even moreso when she wears brown. She was great on this song. I’m voting for her.
Anthony 04 – That’s brave singing the same song as Carrie, but he sounded splendid and actually did much better than she did. I’m voting for him for the first time in a long time.
my order tonight:
Bo
Vonzell
Anthony
Carrie
BTW, watching the videograms to family made me feel like I was eating a pound of sugar. I think I got a cavity.
first
Carrie – Could clean it up and still be good.
Oh, Yeah.
Tom Dove, MUHAHAHAHAHHAHHAA1
I liked Anthony’s version better too. The whole show was pretty boring though. But Vonzell is totally lovable and has the best personality by far.
heh. I’m commenting over here on idol night from now on. Y’all agree with me.
I hope Carrie goes!
Listen. I don’t understand how in the world anyone can root for anthony at this point. He has proven that he can sometimes sing one type of song…that being Celine Dion. Any time he has branched out from Ballads it is like watching a train wreck. Not only that, but he cheeses it up way too much. at least the other three have some talent outside of their genre.
Carrie did stink last night.
I cringed at her 1st song selection, though it was so upbeat it made the other country song selections BOR-ING.
It seems Carrie did good on her 1st song and the other 3 didn’t. Then Carrie stank it up on her 2nd and the other 3 picked it up and did good on their 2nds.
Bo’s second song was fab!
I love Carrie. I hated her song choice, but I hate the Dixie Sluts overall. I thought she was ok on her second song, Bo rocked. I didn’t “feel” Vonzell at all. I never do. Anthony bores me to tears.
It doesn’t matter if Carrie get’s voted off or not at this point. There’s some record exec in Nashville hoping she does. She here to stay… and with a little luck, she’ll be the mother of my next 3 children!
I was upset with Carrie for three reasons:
One, she’s far and away the prettiest girl they’ve ever had on American Idol. Someone needs to hire her a motion coach, though – she really does move like a robot.
Two, she chose a Dixie Chicks song that didn’t feature a strong vocal. She did the same thing last week. Thrash country is only good if you have a varied set of music on a particular album, so the thrash is seen as a heel-kicker. If she really needed to do the Chicks, she should have done “Cowboy Take Me Away,” or “Without You.”
Three, she is a soloist, and has a register that works way better with someone else’s music. If she’d done Shania’s “The Woman in Me” or “Any Man of Mine,” she’d have brought down the house. I also think she’d have done really well with Patty Loveless’s “I’m That Kind of Girl.”
I think she and Bo are by far the best vocalists in the competition now (I still think Anwar was a better technical vocalist – I don’t know what happened with him), but last night she simply didn’t shine. I hope she doesn’t go this week.
actually, if i recall correctly, Shania doesn’t allow her songs to be done on AI.
maybe because pretty much anyone is better vocally?
