Well dudes and dudettes, it’s been a long while since we’ve taken a look at our Elite Eight. We apologize for the long delay, but since it’s a ridiculously slow, rainy day here at work, this is the best way I know to kill time. :)
Today’s match-up pits KLC against Big Red, aka John Stevens. Now that the dust is clearing in season 7, I’ve grown to realize that maybe KLC may not have been the worst thing to happen to Idol in 2008. (Clay’s new haircut, Archuleta’s dad, and the self-destruction of Jason Castro are all good candidates.) Watching a few seconds of the performance again, which is all I can stand, makes me realize it’s more humorous than anything now. Yes, it’s still awful, and yes, KLC still stands as the weakest contestant in this year’s top 12. But does it match the massacre on John Stevens that was Latin night in season 3? Doubtful. Watching his performance back again just makes me sad. Sad for him, that he was put through this. Sad for us, that we had to listen. The only saving grace is Simon’s awesome comment that John & Latin music go together like “chocolate ice cream and an onion.” (Notice John nodding in agreement.) We can’t agree more, and we’re sending Big Red to the Final Four!
