Hee Haw - It's Country

Marvelous Martina with the sparkly blue eyes is going to bring the Southern Charm to Idol tonite. I am frickin's stoked because this is one of my genres of favorite music. I run 50/50 in the Ipod. Country and Rock. And Justin is in there too.

So, when I write tonite, I write my thoughts owning probably music from every one of the artists that will be featured, atleast I hope. I'm really excited.

Phil kicks it off. Holy Shit. He's killing it. This is where Phil needs to be. I predict Nashville is listening tonite and probably just heard a new star in the making. He was awesome. I can't believe how he is interacting with the crowd. And he looks good tonite too. I finally see a Phil as a performer. I think I'm ready to admit he always had a voice, but on shitty song selections. 4.5 Daughtrys. Very impressed.
Judges: right on Randy. Nice props. Pauler: she's sort of laying on the table tonite. Simon: good job, good feedback. Phil looks so happy. Nice guy. He's out of the bottom 3 with that performance, for sure. That was the shiz-nitz.

Jordin: My girl. Picked a Martina song. LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. Jordin has gutz. Big balls pulling that out in front of Martina. she looks terrific..but I ain't liking her hair lately. Too old for her. Toss that back to Melinda. Crowd is loving this performance now that she is in the chorus. First part was a little boring. I think Martina might have steered her a little conservative on the move about the stage...but she did show patience and control...4 Carries Judges: Randy and Pauler: very good. Simon pulls out the "you could win" card. Holy shaz=bat. My girl, my girl. I changed my computer password today to include her name. It's a little thing I do to send good luck vibes. Carrie won with it! Chris didn't. But won later, so that counts.

I just spotted a freak in the crowd. It's Constantine. Still snarling at the screen.

Sanjaya has a bandana over an afro. It's a frodanna. He's singing Bonnie Raitt. Good Lord. If I'm being honest, Sanjaya's outfit tonite reminds me of the prison gangs on the highway shoulders cleaning trash. He looks like a convict, seriously. What is shit I'm hearing. He is giving a little personality, but he ain't got power. Too hard for him. That song was too hard for him. 2 Constantines Randy: Keepin' it real Pauler: dressed like a secretary tonite...like at a Casino, hoping to score with a high roller at the end of the night Simon: BRUTAL Ryan, tries to step in. Get's spanked by Simon. This is sort of embarrassing. Sanjaya loses 5 lbs every week. I swear they are going to have to weigh him down in the coming weeks so he doesn't blow away.

KiKi: Oh No She Didn't. She is not going to sing my Carrie's Jesus song. She better not mess it up. You know she is doing an ok job. No one can really f=up this song too bad it's so awesome the way it builds and the chorus is so awesome. But, KiKi has missed a few notes here and there. It's a hard song, and she did it ok. Kind of screammy in a few spots though.
3.5 Carries. Not my favorite. Randy: hey, didn't I just write all that he just said. Yep Randy, I agree she should have sung it different than Carrie does. More gospelly. Pauler: agrees with Coley What do you mean so what? What? Simon: Doesn't think the song and KiKi matched. You're right Simon, on song choice. Randy says "Be You". I want that on a t-shirt. Except I guess it should say "Be Me". Oh forget it, it doesn't make sense. I think I just want a new cool t=shirt.

Rascal Flatt Chris - Mayberry? Not really a favorite of mine off their list. Let's see Chris. Pitchy right off the bat. But he is working it out. Some really nice power vocals, and then good energy. Ooh, flat note. yikers...my cat's ears flew back on that one. My cats love Idol. Jordin is their favorite too. I digress. I like Chris. He's one of my faves now, but those last notes were sadly out of tune. 3.5 Daughtrys Randy: no sense of connection. aiiright Pauler "take a memo" Abdul: no joy and love onstage. SImon: leave Pauler alone Nasally tinny vocal that left Simon sadly uninspired. Completely and utterly insignificant. Oh, Chris is going to put it back to Simon, and gets an eye roll when Chris gives a Va Tech shout out. Simon's an asshole. Well, he doesn't get it when people show emotions from the heart.

Melinda will pull some crap song out. I guarantee it. Let's hope it's Patsy Cline, not that she is crap, she's one of my faves. Who the Hell is Julie who? Trouble Is a Woman? Ha, even Martina ain't heard this little diddy. Ok, to be fair, this is probably one of my favorite performances of Melinda's. She really looks good tonite. Her hair is terrific. This girl is good tonite. This is a great song for her. If she would keep her hair like that, dress like that, and sing like that, she would come right on out of Troll-dom. That was NO troll up there. 4 Carries...Judges: well they liked it too. Simon calls her on the carpet on her surprise shit. Even Leah Rehmini on Ellen says she hates Melinda for the wide=eyed "who me" expressions. haha

Blake: Tim McGraw. THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIM MCGRAW song. I told you on a previous post that Blake would do some really sexy song, and he picked Mr. Sexy's best song. Download this song now, if you don't have it. It's so hot. Makes you want to throw down with your lov-uh. Oh, well I guess this song is a little harder to sing than I thought. He's sort of rushing it and not making it country enough. But it's aiiright. He could have made it a little more sexy, not so pop=ish. But nice overall. 2nd best guy tonite. Randy: loved it. Pauler: want to date me Blake? She loves your little isms. Simon: Not that impressed but it was cool. And weirdly out of the blue, someone must have busted Simon for the eye roll during the break, and he had to come out and talk about the tragedy.

Phil won tonite. Melinda wins the chick performance and is out of the Dungeon of Trolls. Sanjaya wins the freak show. Bottom 3: Sanjaya, Chris, KiKi

ByeBye until tomorrow.

WOW what a great night of singing..except from the freak of nature...but forget about him. Phil was incredible and I haven't really liked him all that much. Jordin was fabulous and yes very gutsy to do that song with Martina there....OK Sanjaya...what the f*&k was that on your head? Does he know it is a singing contest and not a hairstylist convention??? SERIOUSLY he was awful and Simon killed me being sooooo brutal!!! The next couple were ok...No neck Melinda sang her ass off and was actually enjoyable to me tonight....and Blake...ohhhlaaalaaa...he could sing the alphabit song to me and sound fantastic.
Think Simon and Ryan duked it out after the show??? They were pretty intense for a few minutes...
I agree with the bottom three.
Cole I will say it again..I love this blog...makes me LOL!!!
Keep up the great work!

I'll say I enjoyed country night more than I thought I would've. Sanjaya needs to go. It's just painful watching him tonight. And no I'm not saying this because he is on my American Idol pool as leaving this week.

Cole, whoop ass #9? Is that more severe than #8? Like they say, don't mess with Texas. Yes ma'am. Whatever you say ma'am. Good show for the most part. I had the same bottom three as you Cole. You playing Jedi mind tricks on me?? Why can't Melinda be like that every week. She actually looked her age. I'm not a big Jordin fan but she gave me goose bumps last night. Simon is a pud. He totally stumbled thru that "our condolences" thing. He didn't even know where it happened, did you catch that? I did like the way he called out Sanjaya. What a tool that kid is, he looked like he was going to mop the floors after the show. I think this is the week for him.

Windy - Jedi here...

I think the frodanna is going to be SJY's undoing indeed. Little girls don't lust after gay street sweepers. He kind of reminds me now of the street urchins in Les Miserables.

Alright - that line made me bust out laughing. Hilarious - and true. I watched the show with my gays last night (and two of them are hardcore country fans - so they were super-duper invested) and we were all like, "Girl, Sanjaya's is being way too fey." He's no longer the cute, non-threatening kid (my shrink and I were talking week before last about why little girls are attracted to effeminate looking men - and he says he thinks its because we are sometimes attracted to people who look like us, thus gay boys get put all over teen magazines), he's full out swish. And we were disgusted that he wore single hoops in each ear. At least try. And he massacred Bonnie Raitt. That's just unforgivable.

That wig Melinda was sporting was AWESOME (I'm thinking it had to be a wig because it didn't have the look of a weave, and I think I read somewhere else that she wears wigs. Hopefully it's not because she's like Tina and Whitney and really bald (or is Whitney just crazy, for some reason I think I remember reading or seeing some VH-1 thing back in like 1992 (not a joke, I'm like going back to third grade to try to remember shit, my memory is awesome for useless crap, yo!) that she got into some tragic hair accident a la Tina and is bald...or maybe I'm just remembering What's Love Got to Do With It from 1992 and then associating Angela Bassett from that with the movie she did with Whitney that sucked ass except for the part where Angela totally burns the mofos Porsche just like Left-Eye (RIP) did to Andre Aggassi's house). She looked great too - I told my mom in our post-Idol chat, "this is the first time I could see her on TV" - it was great.

I don't mean to be too hard on Chris, but I couldn't get into that at all. It was just not good for me. And as someone who has a number of friends at VT (my boyfriend my senior year of high school was a senior at VT and I used to drive to Blacksburg at least once a month), I totally got where he was coming from with his statement, and I'm sure he had good intentions, but it made me and my friends roll our eyes. It was a nice sentiment, but it came off as cloying for votes.

Blake sang one of my favorite Ryan Adams songs (and totally Adams arrangement - which made me love him even more) and he did a good job - but he wasn't perfect. Still, I was like - "finally" country I can get into (I love Bonnie Raitt, but Sanjaya ruined her shit).

Apologies for the length - I'm at a desk with nothing to do and my mind runs like 500000 RPMs and I type 95 wps.

Cole, I am holding to my prediction of a Jordan-TimberBlake finale. I don't like sassing the judges and Chris explaining to Simon that nasal singing is a style "In case you didn't know" - did he really say that to Simon? Don't mess with Cowell. I find Simon to be kinda hot. Is that weird?
I say bottom 3 is Phil, Chris, and Sanjaya. Yeah, I think the world is growig tired of the Sanj. Maybe not tired enough to vote him off though. I would have loved to style Sanjaya's hair on Saturday night at my party so he couldn't ride the crazy hair style train to the end of this show! :)

Caiazzo said...

Sanjaya has done it again and sang his heart out. Gotta love the Sanjaya. The Producers want him on the show still. As you can tell, he had the most air time after his song.

Lines were busy when voting so i have a feeling all of america was voting for him or they turned them off.

Same goes for Jordin.

Bottom 3 will be Lakisha, Chris and.....Not Sanjaya

Cole Bronn said...

Anthony, you are so weird. But I guess I love you still.

Christina, you are manic, and I love you too.

Lu...where are you???????

Cole Bronn said...

Thanks TinkfromCalif. Hey, I heard that the whole Ryan and Simon thing was scripted. Completely. They are friends outside of show...have that on full confirmed status. They are good friends with Randy as well. Pauler is peripheral.
