Well, after a ridiculous results show last week America has finally made a rational decision. The result wasn’t very shocking, but it was interesting to see Tim in the bottom three, even if it was for just a few seconds. Maybe the force isn’t as strong with Young Tim as I would have assumed. Or maybe Andrew Garcia is somehow getting more teen girl votes than I would have expected.
Lacey Brown – This is a girl who should be very proud of where she finished. Lacey manage to make the final round of the competition after delivering only one good performance in the semi-finals. Her first week was a disaster, and her second was a mild improvement, but her third week at least made America realize she was talented. Now, was she awful yesterday? No, of course not, and if you read my article you would see that I didn’t even put her in my bottom three. But, she was forgettable and that is a sin worse than murder on this program. Listen, I’m not torn up about this because I couldn’t envision Lacey winning this program and the sooner she was eliminated the sooner some of the vote splitting could quit. I would wager a guess that Didi’s stock has just surged in light of recent events. After all, she is the only indie chick left. Something tells me she is starting to become very powerful. It’s like Highlander… there can only be one… but once there is one; watch out!
Now that we’ve discussed the eliminated contestants let’s move on and make some snide comments and observations about the rest of the episode…
1. The sweet “Dream” beginning was kind of cool, but then things started getting weird. After a while the introduction would be interrupted by static like we were watching the opening scene in a zombie survival movie. Who else was waiting for the sound of a record player coming to a screeching halt and then witness George Romero’s creatures descend on the Idol audience?
2. The dramatic opening would also suggest that this is the best top 12 ever. So, good job editing team, you really made me believe such an outrageous untruth.
3. Ryan mentioned that the Irish lighting director loves St. Patrick’s Day because she gets to make funny lights. Yeah, sure. If the lighting director is Irish then she loves this day because she’s an alcoholic.
4. Wait, the judges save is back?! Oh… well. Someone should have told me. I mean, where’s the respect?
5. David Cook was phenomenal tonight. David Cook’s haircut was not.
6. The Ford commercial went by very quickly, but it was interesting that anyone would let Tim drive a car considering his hair covers his eyes.
7. The car design segment was annoying. I mean, this sucks. Now I have to be subjected to every one’s crappy art on the road? All that art is going to distract me from the crazy amount of texting I do behind the wheel! 8. They don’t want to talk, Ryan. They’re terrified.
9. I think we can all agree that we’re glad that Orianthi isn’t in the top 12. Because she was bad.
10. Insert generic “Orianthi can’t sing” joke here.
11. Aaron looked sad tonight. Maybe he misses his tiger friend, Hobbes. After all, who else indulges his cardboard box fetish?
12. Crystal is starting to be a little more political with her answers. Good. It shows she’s okay with selling her soul a little bit, and that’s what you need to win.
13. The judge’s advice to Katie was awesome. It was great to watch an almost scripted “Abbot and Costello” act on national television.
14. Keisha is everything that is wrong with modern music. My first thought when I saw her was “Who gave one of those idiots from The Hills a record deal?”
15. So… every time the music industry decides to make fun of the artists American Idol produces (Kelly, Carrie, Chris, David, etc) I am going to show them a video of this episode where David Cook, an American Idol, made two popular artists look like amateurs.
16. Hmm, doesn’t it always feel like the girl with the brightly colored hair is eliminated early on in the competition?
Well, until next week!
NGH
Allison has a hair color almost identical to lacey.
Until this tragic steaming pile of mediocrity gets down to about the top 5, I probably won’t give a damn, and maybe not even then.
Worst season EVA.
Thanks for sharing, I found this kesha article while googling for lyrics, interesting comments and good points made.
Did anyone notice that Orianthi and Ke$ha lip-synched their performances? At least David Cook sang his!
