You need to stop thinking like me.

You need to stop thinking like every man that watches American Idol.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Knowing Kat though, she'll sing some boring lovish type song, and dress up like a nun again.

Taylor. Hotel California. FTW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, that's probably a bad idea, but that's one of my favorite songs ever.

Ah, she'll probably sing some lame Stevie Wonder song again.

Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr.

 

Taylor should do this song...and be promptly voted off...but he would go down in a blaze of glory

[starvenger 0]

That top 50 exposes how utterly...utterly out of the loop I am to current music. I've heard maybe....two of those songs.

 

...not that that's a bad thing.

I'm guessing that "You're Beautiful" is one of those two. Because if you've managed to avoid hearing that song, you may very well be deaf.

Too bad "I Touch Myself" wasn't in her year then, yeah? Too bad it'd never happen. Fox, the network that gave us such fine family fare as Temptation Island and The Glutton Bowl, must maintain the facade that the AI contestants are sweet and innocent. Even if the judges appear to be medicated.

[Guest Princess Leena]

"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham!

 

That song was #1?

 

God, I hate people.

Leena puts the boom boom into my heart. YEAH YEAH!

[Guest Coffey]

I'm guessing that "You're Beautiful" is one of those two. Because if you've managed to avoid hearing that song, you may very well be deaf.

I actually like that song.

 

Hotel California for Taylor would be swank but that's a pretty long song. He'd be cut off at about the three minute mark...and there's not a whole lot of vocal talent required for that song. I mean, Don Henley doesn't really switch it up a lot in that song. Pretty mellow throughout. Not to say Taylor couldn't rock it up a lil' and "make it his own" but that'd probably be a bad thing.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Is it next week when they start singing 2 songs each, or when it drops to 4 contestants?

[Black Lushus 0]

yeah, Taylor has really got to do something that brings that big voice of his out as well as his random goofiness...he's been playing it a little too safe lately...I think a trip to the "Bottom 2" would do him a world of good.

 

I'll begin to finally start voting next week I think. 5 votes per phone, right? Let's see, my cell, wifey's cell, home phone...I think I'm sending 15 votes over for Elliot. The others can easily gain some fame just for being in this thing for so long, he seems like the one who really NEEDS to win this thing to get somewhere.

[Guest Princess Leena]

I might vote, also. Ortonsault bugged me to. And I think we're to the point where AI wouldn't rig the voting.

 

For this week, all my votes would go to Elliott, also. He's gonna need them. Maybe save some for Kitty Kat, too.

"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham!

 

That song was #1?

 

God, I hate people.

It was the 80's, Leena. Big hair, mullets, synth drums, bikini chicks in heavy metal videos and guys wearing short shorts. Taking all that into consideration, it's not that strange.

 

Still, sometimes I look back at the music of the era and think "man, they played some serious cheese in my teenaged years". Lush, don't know if you feel the same way.

[Black Lushus 0]

heh, sometimes I feel ashamed for having grown up in the 80s...yet, when I see something from that era, the nostalgia feeling hits big time and I just can't help but smile!

[Black Lushus 0]

bumped for tonight just because...

 

any word on what they're singing tonight? I hope Elliot does a good job, I'm suddenly in his camp.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Good chance these are wrong since Taylor doesn't have current Top 10 song, so take them for what you will:

 

Paris Bennett -- "Kiss" by Prince (Tom Jones in 1988) and "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige.

 

Katharine McPhee -- "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins and "Black Horse and Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall

 

Taylor Hicks -- "Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry and "Something" by the Beatles (George Harrison wrote this one)

 

Elliot Yamin -- "On Broadway" by George Benson and "Home" by Micheal Buble

 

Chris Daughtry -- "Renegade" by Styx and "I Dare You" by Shinedown

[Black Lushus 0]

ugh I hate when they sing "On Broadway"

 

"Against All Odds" is ALWAYS panned by the judges.

[C Dubya 04 0]

Wow, I hope those songs are wrong. If they're right I'll be fast forwarding through a lot of this show.

Don't think KT Tunstall is a good choice vocally for Kat, but it is a song that could allow bouncing so I'll let it go.

 

Paris. Mary J. Blige. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

[Hawkius Maximus 0]

Chris is my hero if he does those two songs.

[naiwf 0]

Elliott was OK doing "On Broadway", but OK is not good at this point as the judges astutely pointed out.

[Hawk 34 0]

Elliot opens with a bleh performence

[naiwf 0]

Paris just butchered "Kiss" by Prince. Not a good start to tonight's show.

[Hawk 34 0]

She had a good energy but that won't mean anything and doing Prince as a 17 year old girl doesn't work.

[naiwf 0]

Chris just buried Elliott and Paris. I think the title is his if that's what Simon wants.

[Hawk 34 0]

Katharine isn't in nun mode but not quite as delicious as last week. Needs more boobage. Decent amount of skin though.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Chris kicked ass. I am still hoping Taylor didn't pick what was said he picked. I don't care if the other 4 were right.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Was that "loooooooooooook" really off-key, or is it just me?
