Idol Madness: Ryan vs. Sundance

Ryan Starr, "Last Dance", season one

vs.

Sundance Head "Nights in White Satin", season six

So, for the Idol Madness bracket of Worst Performance Ever, we never actually said worst VOCAL performance. To us, performance means the whole package. Vocals, stage presence, wardrobe--everything. We're explaining this because some of you may be thinking, Ryan Starr? But wasn't she pretty good? Well, friends, Ryan Starr may have not had the worst voice this show has ever seen, but dear GOD did she have the worst personal style and presentation. Take exhibit A: her "Last Dance" performance. Tranny make-up? Check. Choice of crappy Donna Summer song? Check. Black and white shredded tops layered over each other? Check. Mini-skirt that looks like a pink ace bandage accessorized with not one, but TWO belts? Got it. Also, I'm pretty sure at one point, the cameraman was totally trying to see up her skirt. Klassy, Ryan.

On the total opposite end of the skank spectrum, we have Jason "Sundance" Head. Sundance appeared to be somewhat of an early front-runner during the audition process and I personally thought while he wouldn't be the winner, he would be a shoo-in for the top 12 and definitely beat out Sanjaya. Cut to the last week of the top 24, and Sundance chooses "Nights in White Satin", and all we have to say about this is...wow. I mean, look at him. It was so bad, his hair apparently is trying to escape from his head. The weird diction and over-enunciation aside, I totally thought the dude was going to stroke out in the middle of the performance. So, thanks for that, man. It's your fault we had to deal with Sanjaya for five more weeks.

This is a tough call, but because I'm a catty bitch, I'm giving the round to Ryan. Let's see her battle it out with Carmen in the Elite Eight. On Friday, Bren's blogging the best round from the sweet sixteen, make sure you check it out. We'll also update the bracket on Friday afternoon for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned!
