Re: American Idol 2009- Season 8 Thread and Discussion
OK, had time to digest and then gag, puke, regurgitate and tell the story...welcome to American Idol overdone season 8.
First up in the death hole. Jackie No Tone. Somebody gave her Paula's mood elevators. She is a stage performer? For who, homeless derelicts at the shelter there to escape the elements? One of the too many brunettes to get sent packing. Masculine voice to horribly sung mismatched song. She had a great time. Hugged everyone, should have sang cumbaya. I'll sing, good baya.
Next, hey some stranger snuck in, who is this guy? Ricky Braddy Bunch. I get it, Brady, Braddy, clever. No wonder he only got a nanosecond of camera time from a golden ticket 8 second montage. Has no sad story, no motivation, he can only sing better than any other guy there. I forgot who he was already, set up to fail before Hollywood week ever started. Laters dude, you can sing, but we need gimmicks and stories, your boring. We never got a chance to know you, because that is what the AI producers wanted.
My little blond vixen. Alexis. She is in luck with demographics, a loner on many fronts, blonde, nasty in a good way. Petite spinner sings her heart out, has a lot of soul, and actually performed way better than I thought. Judges woke up, loved her also. Might be top vote getter, most likely best female. She's my #1 chick, before tonight.
Brian Keith? We have two white clones or drones? How much fodder do you need? They put these dregs in with Hokey Gokey for a reason. He would appeal to the C and W crowd, I think, I don't know, because it does not appeal to me. But look at Bucky now. Do I have to? Ricky and Brian can tell great stories how they were never given a chance, on the plane home. Get a dead wife. And a gangbanger best friend. Something. They are not just fodder, they are human cannonballs.
Stevie Wrong. Just another of the too many brunette horde. She could be the worst of the horde also. That is not good when you are in a horde because you don't stand out. But she will get left out, after the worst botched performance of the night, and there were many.
Anoop Dog finally figured out he should be Anoop Dog. I have been saying that for weeks now. Unlike Sanjaya the Apu fem, he is just boring brown. He goes to far not to be Sanjaya. Dresses like he is fresh from India, and shopped at goodwill for first American clothes. His fasion statment was, I have none. It matches my personality. However, quickie mart and 7-11 operators unite, and need someone to redeem thier race, from Sangaya making them all look like women. Can't we get a Hadji in the middle?
Casey Carlson. Man what a fox, she needs to be doing something where her looks and smile get her somewhere, because her singing and stage presence are utterly worthless. Another of the forgettable brunatte pack, a total babe, but can't sing or perform for shit. Sting? Her drugs of choice were magic mushrooms. That was never going to happen.
Michael Sarver is reverting back to roughneck who can't sing. That is why he is a working man. You know Bo rocked with that song, but Mike, you are no Bo. Hopefully that oil rig is still there, because you won't be here after that performance. Another story got him this far. A dead end as Simon called it, neither one of these guys to win. For sure.
Anne Marie is my other hopeful babe. But she is just another brunette, in the multitudes of brunettes. There are cuter ones, Latin ones, manly ones, and boring ones. She sings great, but judges don't feel the love. I'm afraid demographics kill all of the brunettes. Except drama queen Tatiana. Maybe another season, but not this one. Become annoying or have a dead realitive. Go kinda blind. She is history with 4 other nondescript brunettes.
Steven Fowler? Why does Dobie like this loser? This is like the affirmative action guy that makes you look bad because he can't perform, or do the job. Not even blacks will vote for him. A chick would have a better chance with a Michael Jackson song. Forgets the words, wants a White do over mulligan. Somehow goes through, only to stink it up even worse, not forgetting the words. Some years have 5 or 6 very talented African American singers. This year we have none. Looks like he set his wild card get out of jail free card on fire. They can't move him along any longer, and he deserves no votes.
Tatiana, the Puerto Rican bitch from hell. Her nightly drug du jour are sedatives. A handful of downers. She can actually sing. I thought she would be the worst by far. And the VFTW crowd has got to be loving she did not stink. Complete makeover from spastic hated annoying drama queen to these pills change my personality. Her outfit showed after her 15 minutes of fame she will be walking her 5 kids around San Jaun weighing about as much as a small cow. Ugly shape, bad body. She might slip by on third most votes, her on Not as gay as Sanjaya, the Great Indian hope.
The set up for Hokey Gokey Pokey is ridculous. He gets the group with two who are these guys?, Anoop, Stephen Howler and roughneck fodderman, and the primetime last slot. Hey, his wife died? Who knew? We did, as he has said that about 20 times now. Gangbanger buddy roots for him in audience. Music director? Your the lead singer in your church's cult band. A total fraud in every way. Pimps out the hero I am for overcoming story every chance he gets, including singing hero. Why did you pick that song? Because it makes me think of me, I mean people can over come. How phony, I'm gagging from that one. No, from the first three judges doing a heavy sell on a average at best performance. Too much pimpage for me. The guy has a story, or he would not even be there. Keep it real like Simon.
First chick Alexis easy.
First dude Hokey Gokey has been annointed.
Third vote getter? Tough, Ann Marie should get itbut demographics just kill her. Could be either lone Puerto Rican drama Queen, or Anoop Dog.
Maybe a wild card for whoever does not get third most votes, but maybe not. Pretty easy night to judge. This new format reeks of more artificial drama, and drags it out in a different way, so judges can put people back in the voters do not like.
Best Wishes...OF :+waving-5
