AIR Edition #7

Final 6 and it is now getting interesting.

Ok, some of my thoughts first. I just didn’t really get into last nights show. I don’t know why. I am trying to put a finger on it. I may be too immersed in work or trying too hard to fail in being a good Dad but I just didn’t get all amped up for last nights show like I usually do. Perhaps its that I feel the inevitable is upon us. And in keeping with tonight’s theme, Brooke is going to.. Cry for me Argentina… hehe

Opening Quotes from the judges: “Toughest night of the year man.” – Randy

“Some will shine and some will… BLAH” – Go Paula, what prescription drug are you abusing tonight?

“They need to blend the music with their style”… That coming from the man who has no sense of style. Simon

Andrew Lloyd Webber. I mean, SIR Andrew Lloyd Webber. How did he get that title? What did he do to earn it? Can somebody buy that title? Or did some “watery tart throw a sword at him?” (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) Wouldn’t you have loved hearing Kristy Lee Cook butcher a show song tonight?? I would have. I can’t believe I just admitted that. That might have been worth the price of admission.

Syesha – “Sexy” Red dress wearing, Syesha in the, dun dun dun….Death Slot…but I seriously think that she is the most showzy of the whole crew left. So I predicted prior to her taking the stage that she would feel the most comfy. Oh boy, and before you know it, there she goes with her Chubby Checker imitation, Twistin’ and Shoutin’. She belted out “One Rock and Roll Too Many”. Unfortunately she wasn’t talking about Carly Smithson and her still being on the show. Oh and then Randy goes and steals my thoughts by saying that “Tonight, it was ‘her element’”. Wise up Randy, I already said that. So Syesha’s career will be right up the showzy alleys and this performance keeps her in the competition pretty easily.

Jason – Ohhh Jason this could be a night that exposes your silly little “Oops did I make that noise?” faces even more. Uh oh, now he isn’t the predator anymore. Tonight he became a new character, with the suit that he pulled out…anyone seen the Matrix Reloaded? Yep! All he needed was a pair of sunglasses. Those guys were baaad! He didn’t even know that a cat sung it? The only cat that Jason can think of is in Dr. Seuss books. Come awn! I don’t know if Sir Webber could be outquoted, so I don’t know if I should even try… “I never thought I would ever hear a man sing this song, let alone a man with dreadlocks.” hahaha! Finalist for the fave quote of the night! He just has no ending to his voice range on any of his songs. Has anyone else noticed that he can’t hold the final note on the end of his songs? Just rewatch any of his performances. Second Fave quote of the night, this one courtesy of Sister Abdul,”Jason, I liked that you picked this song, it further identified your identity???”

Brooke – Have you ever heard that record needle sound screech on the record as it stops? Rrrrrrrr! What the??? Brooke stops the song and reminds me of Tiger Woods stopping his swing in the middle of his downswing due to a photographer’s shutter clicking. (For you girls, this pretty much defies laws of gravity). But there goes Brooke again stopping the band and starting over. America forgave her once, will they look away a second time? I think she is in trouble …again. What is with her confidence? She lost it and has yet to regain her previous form. It is showing now in her every performance. She is starting to sing like Bilbo Baggins feels in Lord of the Rings when he says, “I feel thin, like butter spread over too much bread.”

David A. - Eyes Wide Shut! David was given 2 things to work on by Lord Webber, and they both rhyme with – Keep your eyes open. Did you notice how hard he tried to keep them open? Hehe. One time they closed and he hurried and opened them again… For cute. Once again the gratuitious Dave’s Dad in his 70’s Huggy Bear hat was seen in the audience. Yayyyy, Dad of David! Seriously folks, I think he did a great job with his song setting up the final sing off of the David’s. Here is my A.I. conspiracy theory shining again. What effect did Simon’s post number comment have on his voting. He actually said something I found interesting, “David, (read between the lines America) – you still need votes and you aren’t safe. Think about it.

Carly – Before she begins, I am thinking she is in trouble. Show tunes and the Tattoo? That’s kind of like Peanut Butter and Bacon. I don’t know about that combo.  If you know me, Bacon is pretty good with everything.  Oh sorry I digress… Paula blurts out that Carly always seems to do the unexpected. “Unexpected”??? What show is Paula even watching? How could anything that Carly does be a surprise? She yells, she scrunches her forehead and she screams. And somebody better thank Omar the tentmaker for that number she was wearing – hiding her hips. Ok on a more serious note – Carly’s agent has sequestered her husband in a local pub just to keep him off the audience pan shot. I’m not kidding, he is AWOL. And can ya blame her? He is PG-13 just looking at him scary. All across America I can hear protective parents, “Honey, Carly is about to take the stage, don’t forget to cover the kids eyes when they show her husband!” I think she and the venetian carpet patterned tent she wore will trudge on to next week.

David C – Total Cover Boy. He has become completely the bar for taking a song (using someone else’s version and not giving them credit) and getting high marks for his unique spin on it. Oh, Oh David that could be a hit on the radio, right now! Yeah yeah you’ve heard me before and I rail on the guy. But, I actually found myself wondering where the rocker went? For a night he covered the song and he Nailed it. (Millions of female viewers loved it – and all of them with their eyes closed! hehe) Ugh. He showed diversity and then just when I was ready to anoint him the winner by far of the night, the last few notes he breaks out of the song and out comes the David Cook, the rocking skull baby emerges. Cook soars through to the next round! And tonight on the show, thanks America by kissing his hands and mouthing the words, ‘Thank you, thank you’. Trying to convince us that he had no clue he would actually get any votes. I personally think Micheal Johns could’ve done a great job with that song.

Whelp…, oh wait that was last week, hardee har. I am going to label the bottom three thusly, Syesha, Jason and Brooke. (Small disclaimer) If Idol only has 2 then Syesha is not one of them. Brooke and Jason stand on stage. Jason’s face looks like he wonders where his cat is? Where’s my cat? Am I going to be picked last in the dodge ball game? While Brooke has vomited 18 times before taking the stage, tears up and hugs Jason tightly and then hears Ryan announce, “Brooke, America has voted, and tonight is the end of the road for you.”

To quote that lovable cartoon Porky Pig himself, “Badee Badee Badee That’s all folks!”
