This is a kid with 80 gigs of inspirational music on his iPod. He sang it well, but really, who cares? This song was so boring.Įrin: I’m convinced he picked the theme of tonight’s show. Kathy: Once again, young David and his dad wheeled their virtual shopping cart down the Obscure Treacly Ballad aisle of the iTunes store. It’s like she’s channeling Wolf from “American Gladiators.” The song just wasn’t a good fit.įashion faux pas: His monochromatic outfit needed a pop of color. At one point, I’m starting to take it personally. This lousy performance will probably be Carly’s undoing.Įrin: I think Carly is trying to melt the cameraman with her steely gaze. Kathy: I did not give you permission to sing Freddie Mercury, missy. If he leaves, we are officially out of rockers.Ĭheese factor: Began a 6, but anger turned it into a 2. This might mean the end of David Cook, which breaks my heart. Even a walk through the audience couldn’t save him. He was all over the place with the notes and it just seemed out of sorts. Simon called it “pompous.” Paula noted “the inspirational thing you did on your hand,” which sounds mildly dirty to me.Įrin: The first note he hits reminds me of Crash Test Dummies. Kathy: Probably front-runner David’s weakest performance to date. Also, hair was somewhere between combover and rocker-spiky. Kathy: Hey, look! Our pal Mike Darnell, Fox’s reality guru, made it on TV! I was sitting right behind his parents, so I’m glad I only had nice things to say.įashion faux pas: White Sgt. Randy said, “It was very good… for you.” And Simon told her she was “appealing to your audience.” This is “Idol”-speak for: “You continue to suck, but now you are elevating the suckiness to an artform that many people with no taste can enjoy.” I am boycotting Kristy, so I have no opinion.Įrin: I loved how all of the judges where giving her these strange backhanded compliments. Kathy: My country music-loving companion, upon hearing what Kristy was going to sing said, “Oh no, never sing Martina!” Apparently, Martina is country’s version of Whitney. Gib at the front desk told me that Jason was like Tiny Tim for a new generation, but in a lower key. Like he’s a giant from the land of kindbud. But since I’m so used to seeing him with a guitar, the longshots look a little strange. ![]() I think it’s actually an inspired choice for him and he gets to show off mad ukulele skills. Those who were quite familiar with it, like me, would have found it an emotionless, pale imitation.Įrin: Jason apparently caught “The Wizard of Oz” on TV last night while coming home from a munchie run. Kathy: Those who had not ever heard Iz’s version, like Simon, might have enjoyed this perf. Song: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (Israel Kamakawiwo’ole version, with ukelele) Cheese factor: 5 Also, I heard a gaggle of tweens talking about how hot he would be with “normal hair.” She’s not Fantasia, so she falls flat.įashion faux pas: The Mister Rogers cardigan. I have never heard this song - but even before Syesha begins to sing, I take a blind guess that the word “rainbow” will appear within the first verse. It’s your only hope.Įrin: It’s never a good sign when I start to dry heave during the description of the song. Sy, honey, please choose something by a less well-known artist and sing the bejeezus out of it. ![]() Kathy: Um, never sing a former Idol’s signature song, particularly the victory ballad from a former Idol with as a sound as distinctive as Fantasia’s. Since it’s in the beginning, my guess is that the rest of the show will be a downhill slide into tunes about love and friendship.įashion faux pas: Hair looked like Don King’s, with a part. Not because he doesn’t rock (he does), but because this would usually be the song that lands in the middle of the show to break up the monotony of ballads. The Thunder from Down Under sings “Dream On,” which is not a good sign. ![]() ![]() There are only so many jokes about Fred from “Scooby Doo” that I can make. Kathy: He sang this pretty well, but Randy and Simon were right: It did sound a bit like a rock-star imitation.Įrin: Michael continues to champion the ascot cause again. Spotted in the crowd: Sinbad and Eric McCormack (not together).Paula was wearing the most hideous outfit imaginable and her poor boobs were so smashed they thought they were getting a mammogram.Everyone sounds much better in person than they do on TV.The stage, the audience and Seacrest are much smaller than they appear on television.The judges disappear backstage at every opportunity.Randy’s bodyguard is smaller than he is.
