AMERICAN IDOl-SEASON 5: THE THREAD

[Guest Princess Leena]

Yay.

 

One song for Kat to gyrate a lot and bounce bounce. And the boring love song, where she'll just stare at the camera, do the winking thing a few times, and probably mess up a few notes. Boo. Kat needs to have fun.

 

Although, she should maybe save the bounce bounce for next week, where she'd need to bust out the kitchen sink to get past Taylor/Chris.

Interesting song choices tonight.

 

My mother commented this morning - or was it last night? - that, out of all of them, Taylor has remained the most consistent. He hasn't gone, now these are her words, "all weird". I asked if any the others had, and she said a few of them. Instantly came to mind was Kellie gyrating around the stage like a slutty rocker.

 

Taylor's "Jail House Rock" should be fun indeed.

 

She thinks the final two will be Chris and Taylor.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Chris is going to slay with Suspicious Minds, but Taylor could steal the show with Jail House Rock. I can't see either guy going home if the perform those two songs as good as I think they can. "Falling in Love with You" is a trump card song, but I can see Katharine mis-playing it (though I can almost as easily see her hitting it out of the park - it's one of those songs, and McPhee is one of those performers) which means Poor Elliot is going to have to really step it up tonight and hope his streak of progressively better performances is intact and maybe then some.

[Guest Princess Leena]

It doesn't matter what Chris and Taylor do.

 

McBoobies just needs to not fuck up again this week, and Elliott is probably gone.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Ok, Taylor is stealing the show with this one. In the worst possible way.

[Black Lushus 0]

wow, Elliot is not fucking around tonight...he knows he has to go balls out and so far he is doing it!

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Yeah, Elliot fucking kicked it on that one. A combination of one of his best performances as well as Seacrest dropping the "underdog" line, could help him be the spoiler for one of the other three.

 

Chris was about 90% of what I thought it would be. I thought he was a lil too mellow on it, though. Taylor was -50%. Elliot, as always, exceeded expectations.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Awesome, McPhee is trying to be the next Mariah.

[Guest The Satanic Angel]

Why the fuck is it on 8 tonight? Dammit.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Wardrobe update, plz.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Once more Katherine is reaching for notes she CAN'T DO. It sounds like a really bad audition...or as Simon better say 'bad kareoke'. It's just...terrible. Squeaky, overdone, all around ew.

I hate how she always looks 100x's better in the pre-performence spot and then goes conservative in the performence.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Standard crappy McPhee-wear where she hides part of her jean-worn bottom with a loose top.

 

I thought it was very Elvis-The-Musical-y with the arrangement being crap.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Ugh.

 

Did she do the falling in love song first? I knew she'd suck with that one.

[Hawk 34 0]

Ugh.

 

Did she do the falling in love song first? I knew she'd suck with that one.

 

She did Hound-Dog first.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

No, she did a combo of Hound dog and Shook Up which didn't work at all together. I wouldn't really recommend it...

 

And I wanted another 3 minutes of that from Taylor.

[chaosrage 0]

I'm laughing because I couldn't get Cartman singing this song out of my mind while he was singing.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

If McPhee sucks it on the next song and Elliot bangs out another gooder, Boobs may be dunski.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Great performance by Chris ... if anything, I hate how the instrumentals drowned him out for a little bit.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Chris and David Blaine need to have a brood off.

 

He slept through the first 3/4s of that for the last quarter of AWESOME.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

HE DOESN'T BLINK!

 

ELLIOT MADE ME LAUGH BY EMBRACING HIS RATTY SLEAZE.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

Poor guy's gonna give himself larengitis trying to sing over these OVERLY LOUD instrumentals. Which will be fine, since he's hopefully going home next.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Elliot is totally out-working everyone in this competition.

 

The director of this show makes me laff with the quick cuts of the drummer and Elliot.

 

I don't know how to package Elliot Yamin. Good fucking luck to AI if that dude ends up taking it.

 

EDIT: ok, I still don't know how to position Elliot in the music industry, but I will say, where ever Robert Palmer was, Elliot should be there too.

[Guest Princess Leena]

With Elliott doing great, my loves is probably leaving. Oh well.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

But Katharine needs to be in the semi finals! Thats the show where she will toootally slut it up in order to beat Taylor and Chris.

Elliot and Taylor would be niche performers with limited market range, Katharine is all looks and is actually below Carrie. Carrie fit Country.

 

Chris is the most packagable name as he could easily carry a radio rock band without the AI name. The Chris Daughtery Band would be a big hit group.

At least we get some navel action here but its not enough.

[Black Lushus 0]

Katharine's gone....and I think she knows it...

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Ok. Katharine started off AMAZING being more downplayed and there was one particular line which just gave me goosebumps... then she decided to be Katharine.

 

Simon was spot-on. And now I want some Apple Pie.
