vs.
Camille Velasco, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", season three
Sorry it's taking us close to forever to do the Idol madness blogs, guys. The Elite Eight of worst performances ever is almost complete, and we'll be posting the updated bracket, since we've had some requests for that. We have a feeling the Final Four is going to be goooood. Anyway, tonight's match-up is between season seven contestant and token hottie Luke Menard (take off your shirt!) and season three's Camille Velasco.
So, anyone who watches this show can expect to be inundated with quite a bit of cheese. I mean, the group numbers? The FORD! commercials? Idol Gives F'ing Back? We all know what the show's about, and we watch and love it anyway. It was only fitting that on 80's night during season seven's top 24, Luke Menard would bust out the cheesiest of cheese, so wrong it's right, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", right? We have to say, this was one time where being wrong was so not right, and from the first "buh duh bum" notes of this, you could tell it was going to be a disaster. As soon as he couldn't hit that hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, we knew our precious Luke wouldn't make the top 12. Bren and I were hoping so bad he'd get into the top 12 and be able to pick off two of the weaker of the herd to make it on the tour, but alas, we'll never get to yell at Luke to take it off in person.
However, that debacle, as cringe-worthy as it may have been, pales in comparison to poor, disastrous Camille Velasco singing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". I mean, GOD. If you guys don't remember this, you really need to watch the link here. The video is not that great, but all you need is the sound. These kids had the opportunity to choose songs from ELTON JOHN'S song book and Camille picks one of the most difficult songs to sing. The AAAAAAHaaaaahAAAAAAH part on the chorus is tough enough to pull off, let alone the complex range of the entire rest of the song. High notes, low notes, and they all sounded like ass. We're giving this round to Camille, because this was a monstrosity, and Luke is just so pretty!
Make sure you guys read the last round of the sweet 16, because it's a going to be a good one!
