the night we don't have to listen to colton
It's Queen week...which is awesome. But all I care about is that Colton is gone. G.O.N.E. Goodbye, see you later, hopefully never. Bye bye.
JLo really has a big old booty and she likes to show it, huh?
The guys from Queen are there to meet with the top 6. There is a HUGE generation gap there. Ha. And the two original members are playing with the idols for a Queen medley...can't we just get to the competition? God, this is awful. Embarrassingly so. (And I miss Adam Lambert and Kris Allen from the last time Queen was on Idol...)
1. Jessica: "Bohemian Rhapsody"...why is it black and white? That's dumb. As are the background Jessica heads on the screen behind her. She sounds pretty good on the slower parts.
2. Skylar: "The Show Must Go On"...pretty good country arrangement. (Although I love the version from Moulin Rouge.) She didn't bug me as much as she usually does. There's that.
COMMERCIAL BREAK: Battleship...with Tim Riggins and Vampire Eric? Guess I'm going to have go see that shitshow.
3. Joshua: "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"...I don't think I knew this was a Queen song. Great song for him. And he's got that cool old school mic in his hand...are they auto tuning their voices tonight? Stephen hinted at that with Skylar but it sounds like they might be. Great job.
4. Elise: "I Want It All"...pretty good job but she's just a little plain. Boring. And maybe too serious? Shot to JLo rocking out and it was a little awkward. Judges are giving her praise...but it seems a little fake. So far everyone has done a pretty good job. (Did I really just say that?) Go Queen.
5. Phillip: "Fat Bottomed Girls"...so wait, Holly gets the money slot at the end? No way she deserves it. OK...back to Phillip...he's precious...but it wasn't his best. And it wasn't the best of the night. I'm with Randy...it was good, but it wasn't "oh my god."
6. Holly: "Save Me"...now that Colton is gone, I can put all my efforts into hating Holly. I don't like her look, her singing voice, or her talking voice. And she's a bad dresser. Please America...it's now officially Holly's week to go home...and this song isn't helping her. I've never even heard of it.
1. Jessica: Starting the second round...this is the contestants' song pics...and it's not a Queen song. The other contestants are dishing about the other contestants. We find out she's still in "school". She's singing Dance With My Father...ugh. I really hate these big, breathy ballads. I'm so bored. Fast forward. (See? She's a bad picker.)
2. Skylar: She's tough. Apparently. Not sure what country hit she's singing. It's talking about pickup trucks and tattoos. It's OK. She's just so "new" country...which I hate. Oh...no...she...didn't. Her feather tattoo means (and I quote) "My problems are light as a feather because God holds them for me." Next.
3. Joshua: They called him a screamer. Whatever this song is that he's singing, it's subdued and soft...but I'm sure it's fixing to get loud up in here. I like his outfit. It's the first time he's looked young and hip. And he didn't get super screaming and that was AWESOME. He's the winner. Although what's the market for a crazy gay choir screamer?
4. Elise: She laughs after she talks. And she using her hands when she sings. She's singing Jimi...the guitar player is good. (And apparently that's her guitar player...) But I just don't think American Idol is the right place for Elise. She's got a cool sound...but it doesn't really work here. She's not dynamic or interesting enough to get votes. And she doesn't pick the right songs and Stephen tells her that.
5. Phillip: The other contestants say he's sarcastic and they make fun of his crazy singing face and dance. And the mystery over why he wasn't in the Ford shoot last week is solved...apparently he is sick and gets to skip some stuff. Lucky Phillip. He's doing DAVE! And he really is amazing. Like panty-dropping amazing. I love Dave. And I love Phillip. I want Phillip to make the finals so he can do a duet with Dave. The two women playing with her were also awesome. The judges said it was off the wall and obscure...but it didn't seem obscure to me. Hee. I'M VOTING TONIGHT.
6. Holly: They all think she has a speech problem. And they're making fun of her accent b/c it's part London, part Texas. Ha. And she's doing Miley Cyrus. I hate Holly and Miley. I will not listen to this song so I will not be able to tell you if it's good or bad. I'm pretty sure it's bad.
Verdict: The Queen songs were great. The second round was just so-so. I LOVE PHILLIP. Holly should go home...but it will probably be Elise. My prediction is it will be Elise, then Holly, then hopefully Jessica. Phillip, Skylar and Joshua will be the final three.
UPDATE: Bottom three....Elise, Holly, and Skylar. Shocker. Yay Phillip Phillips. Skylar is quickly saved...so it's Elise or Holly...which we figured. Let's kick them both off tonight and stop delaying the inevitable. Elise is gone tonight. I mean, it's not a shocker. She's been in the bottom 3 almost every week. Pay attention Holly...next week that will be you.
