Punishingly Intricate

but I'm sure I'll be spoiled the second I wake up, if I don't watch it Weds night.

Watch it when you get home even if you have to call in late to work. That's my recommendation.

I'm a little ashamed that no one answered my Bad Girl's Club question. It is one reality show Too Far!

Bad Girl's Club question. It is one reality show Too Far!

Never!

I have seen it once in a while when I was waiting for JDMA to start. I think it's kinda like Starting Over House, that old Iyanla daytime show, only without any of the psychologists or counseling or actual redeeming values. Just take a bunch of pissed of, fucked up ladies and put them in a house. Apply pressure and wait for the fun to pop off. I don't really think it's a competition show, it's more like ghetto Real World.

AI: Guys were really good tonight, with the exception of [memfault] George Michael and Danny Noriega. I wasn't nearly as impressed with Hallelujah as Simon was, but David Cook totally rocked Lionel Ritchie.

BB: I figured out why Natalie bugs me so much. She is totally Cheri Oteri.

I don't watch that show but I do watch the Millionaire Matchmaker, if it makes you feel any better.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I thought most of the guys sang well tonight, even the ones I don't much care for. Only one obvious bottom and one clear top for me, a couple really good ones. The rest were fair to middling. Couldn't even begin to say who's going home.

Bottom

Luke Menard – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Y’all, he’s so bad. And he’s not even all that pretty. And what is with the weird, weird phrasing? Is it a lack of breath thing? Nah, it’s just a sucky thing. And why is he dressed like someone’s dad? Who spilled hair grease all over his shirt? Hate him and everything about him. Please go home.

Top

Jason Castro – Hallelujah

I enjoy this fool. He can really sing. I did not expect this song choice from him. He may be as fake as a three dollar bill, but he comes off very real and very sincere to me. Whatever he’s selling, I’m buying. Biffed the last note, but I enjoyed it. I love this little stoner kid.

Guys I love who were not quite as good as I wanted

David Archuleta – Another Day in Paradise

Why is he letting his grandma pick his songs? Imagine and now Phil Collins? He plays piano, too? It is unfair, I tell you. He is made. Of. Awesome. Oh, Paula. Look at our boy making the song his own. This is the way you play with the phrasing of a song, Mr. Menard. Take notes while this 17 year old fool schools your ass. Also, I love the new cut. I just love him. Can’t help it. Yeah, Randy. He doesn’t always have to be bombastic. And yeah he did have a few bum notes. Not caring. Even a little. He could totally be my Mr. Teen America.

Danny Noriega – Tainted Love

He’s so cute. Little red tomato, indeed! Oh, perfect song choice for him. And he’s singing the Marilyn Manson/Rhianna version. If his hair were a little shorter, he’d be Rhianna. He is a hoot. I can’t even talk about how much I love him. Not the greatest vocal ever. He can do better. But I looooove him.

Guys I hate who did better than I would've liked

Michael Johns – Don’t You Forget About Me

It is official. Homeboy is tore up from the floor up. Why do people think he’s attractive? I should’ve guessed he’d do this song. I actually love this song. He’s a really good fake singer. He doesn’t have a good voice, but he knows what to do with his reedy little instrument. He totally shouldn’t have screwed his band over because he needs backup/distraction more than anyone else in this competition. Hi, Randy. He has no range and he has a tiny little voice. Nonetheless, he covers it very well and people seem to find him hot, so he’ll go far. You, however, should stick to producing the second most awesome dance show of all time because you continue to suck sweaty balls as an AI judge. Thx, k bye!

David Cook – Hello

And his fucking guitar. Make it stop. The hat, the beard, the whole thing. Just so much hate. Emo version of Hello? Lionel Richie should come over and beat you with a frozen bottle of Posner's curl activator. I cannot describe how much I dislike him, though I must give it up for the voice. He sang very well.

Guys I don't care about who sang in a way that promoted my complete lack of caring at all about them (but weren't terrible)

David Hernandez – It’s All Coming Back to Me Now

Ok, this placement right behind Danny had to be intentional, right? Man singing Celine? Hmmm. Interesting song choice. He has a beautiful voice. Dude, beautiful instrument. This song is so overwrought. It really doesn’t work on a man’s voice. You gotta be all out, breast beating, Celine-ing it the hell out. And he doesn’t have it like that. I was iffy on the song choice at first, but now I have to say, I did not like it. He can sing though.

Chikezie – All the (Wo)Man That I Need

Hmm. Another woman song. And Whitney no less. Well, Chikezie, bring it. Nope, it was not broughten. Needed way more fire. More power. More spark. It was just a’ight. Simon is right. I don't care what he's trying (continued...)


kat perez - Mar 04, 2008 4:53:09 pm PST #3655 of 23273
"We have trust issues." Mylar

( continues...) to sell, he was definitely going for the Whitney version. And the song was too big for him.

Hmm. Maybe by the time we make top 10, I'll stop going over. Oh, well. I really hope this is the last we see of Luke and David C. But I bet it's Chikizie and Danny, cuz AI just hates me like that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I was pissed that Randy mistook Simple Minds for INXS. What.the.fuck.

Bad deal.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Randy is less than useless this season. He's getting worse than Paula. At least you can pass the time trying to figure out what she and Jason are smoking.
