americanidol.jpgI’m on a break from primary results and watching American Idol right now, and I have many questions. To start: What did Simon say about “stripping” at the end of David Hernandez’s Meat Loaf song? And how bad were those spoilers that we picked up from DialIdol.com? And did David Archuleta deliberately botch his take on Phil Collins’ “Another Day In Paradise” so he could make feel kinda bad for him? Also, this pseudo-grunge version of Lionel Richie’s “Hello” that David Cook is working right now is really not working for me at all, but then again I’m not much of a fan of Daughtry either. Team Danny and Jason!!!

    Maura, I listened to the clip again on YouTube, and Simon clearly tells Randy to “say ‘I like the way you strip to that’.”

    paula’s two words to sum up tonight: ‘i’m DAA-RUNK’

    they’re all awful aren’t they? what a barely closeted affair (not that there’s anything wrong with that, i’d just like to see a little more directness….). anyway, bleh. and the only one that looked remotely natural as a performer was that emo schlub. but i like danny for being so cute and flamey. hernandez was godawful – and what a song choice… anyway, i’m giving this too much thought. oh this dumb looking pilot for new amsterdam has the decemberists playing. wild!

    I thought Danny should have done “It’s all coming back to me now”. Sitting. Center stage. In a sprawled out wedding dress.

    The best moment for me was Randy thinking that Don’t You Forget About Me was an INXS song. And nobody correcting him.

    Regarding D. Cook: Really? That was the first time I didn’t think he was useless.

    Then again, I love Hello, and I like re-imaginings, so maybe I’m biased.

    @metalkate: Did you just confuse 30 Seconds to Mars with the Decemberists while trying to be snarky? How embarrassing for you.

    @Thierry: That’s what other blogs are reporting this morning. Is it wrong that I find it sorta funny?

  12. Maura Johnston  |   Posted on Mar 4th, 2008

    @whoneedslight: dawg, he thinks everything michael johns sings is an inxs song. it’s kinda creepy!

  13. metalkate  |   Posted on Mar 4th, 2008

    i have no idea. but this show is terrible. it’s like one of those bands that play techno-deathmetal-a-billy.

    For the record, I’m recording, and noting, and practicing, but I needed to take a break to catch the results in, at least, RI and VT.

    anyway, after much painstaking research, turns out i was right in the first place (as I was not referring to the crappy theme song). i’m watching some really compelling animal rescue stuff on animal planet now. oh yeah, this is my homeless blog-squat about watching tv now. i watch tv all day. i have no job. i weight 250 lbs.

    I rewound my DVR 5 times and Simon says to Randy something about how wondering how David “would strip to it” meaning the Meat Loaf song…

  17. extracrispy  |   Posted on Mar 4th, 2008

    I swear Simon said, “Not bad for a stripper.”

    Paula was fucking out of it. She couldn’t even string complete sentences together.

  18. Jerkwheat  |   Posted on Mar 4th, 2008

    no, they certainly played Decemberists during the first five minutes of New Amsterdam, it took me by surprise as well

    however, it was most definitely 30 Seconds during those incessant promo clips beforehand
