Amy, i'm just now getting to watch! also got your comment and mostly i'm undecided as of yet, but profile addy is good!
I didn't necessarily love anyone tonight, but come on! it's all Mariah, all the time! what could they really do with this? DCook continues to tug at my heartstrings though. did you know his brother Adam was in the audience tonight? over $40000 in donations were raised to fly him and his wife out to LA so they could see him perform before Adam loses his battle with cancer. i think that is contributing to how emotional David was tonight.
Yeah, after our break, I actually had to look up the song list to remind myself what Jason and Kristy actually sang. It's just, they're all so predictable this season. Every single D'Archie performance (with the exception of the Stevie train wreck) has been a carbon copy of his performance this week. Brooke and Jason always sound like the fifth track on the Starbucks CD, no matter what the genre or what song they are singing. D. Cook always takes his songs to the emo nightmare place. And Syesha and Carly are gonna go all belt-y diva. I mean, every season, the kids have their boxes, but I remember greater diversity in seasons past.
And the kids continue to be absolutely charm free.
Last season Blake had his beatbox, Sanjaya had his hair. We've got no idionsyncracies, no eccentricities, no personality! Ugh. We can haz doodoo over?
I wish I hadn't watched AI tonight. They kept talking about Mariah's more "obscure" songs and how "most people" wouldn't be familiar with them and, dammit, I knew all those fucking songs.
I'm left with the disturbing realization that I know WAY more Mariah Carey music than I'm comfortable knowing.
well, her first album is amazing, and a lot of kids today don't know it other than Vision of Love. Of course, it came out in the early 90's, when most of them were zygotes.
I do wish one of the guys had done "Honey." That would've been hilariously awesome.
I was praying for something, anything, off of the Butterfly album, because it is made of awesome! But really, I got nothing but love for Mariah. She can blow and she puts out little nuggets of pop gold! Then again, I am an unashamed lover of the dirty pop in all its forms, which is why my Fergie resistance is always so puzzling. She's just the kind of fluffy artist I should, and normally do, love, and yet . . . Well, I liked that Big Girls Don't Cry song, but I'm pretty sure that's just because the video gave me nekkid Peter Petrelli.
I have to say, I am totally and utterly missing the hoopla over D. Cook's performance last night. I mean, I don't like the kid, but will grudgingly admit that at times he has been in good voice this season. Last night was definitely not one of those times. He was painfully out of tune for much of the song (just like last week). My AI virgin and I were in agreement that we actually liked the new arrangement for Always Be My Baby, shocking! But his voice sounded like ass.
I thought he was fine, but nothing extraordinary. Certainly a step up from last week's mess, though.

Perzactly. He's fun to watch, to wonder what arrangement he'll come up with, but it's no fun listening to him. I think he should be an agent/arranger for someone who can sing.

I love this idea so much I want it to be my next American Idol.
