Yeah, Idol, we know. Pia was voted off. And you know what else? There's a lot of people who don't care. Also something we don't care about? That JLo is on the cover of People's Most Beautiful issue. Bring on the singers. OMG WHAT IS PAUL WEARING??? The nice thing about blogging late is that I can find a photo of it:
He sings Old Time Rock & Roll. It's really not good. I have no idea what's gong on half the time, and eventually he's got a tambourine and he's grinding all up on the saxophone player. You know, there's not enough songs with saxophones anymore. For some reason the judges all love it. I miss Simon, he would've called that a train wreck.
Ugh, Lauren is singing that Hannah Montana song. Did the stylists take the night off or something? She's wearing a silver metallic zebra corset thing under a black tutu with cowboy boots. What. the. hell? She sounds really good, but I just can't get that excited about someone sounding good on a song originally sung by Miley Cyrus.
Stefano is singing End of the Road by Boyz II freaking Men. I knew he was, but I forgot, so this just made me infinitely happy. I get an instant middle school dance vibe from any other their songs. Man, this song was good, wasn't it? And he actually sounds really good singing it! I still think he's totally cheesy, but wow, go Stefano!
UGGGGGGH, #Oldladyvote time. He is doing the same shit he does every stupid week. It sucks. Next.
Casey and his bass and his stupid facial expressions are on stage. He's singing Nature Boy, and it's pretty good. I just can't look at him, haha. It's like Cookster, pre-haircut. The judges give him a standing ovation, because apparently no one has ever sung and instrument and sang at the same time on this show.
Haley is singing Call Me. She's another one I prefer not to watch, haha. She's just so awkward at moving. But she sounds fantastic, I love this song for her. Well done.
Jacob is up next, singing Bridge Over Troubled Water. Lindsay had warned me in advance, because this song is pretty much at the top of both our Top Idol Performances Ever List. I still get chills watching Clay's version, and I've watched it at least a hundred times. Why must these Idols have such little respect for Idol history??? Ugh. Anyway, it's all good, but that song belongs to Clay Aiken. Sorry, Jacob.
Our man James is in the pimp spot tonight with Heavy Metal. He kills it, as per usual. James, we love you.
Now on to the results! I like these duets they've started this year. Lauren & Scotty kick it off with what is apparently a Lady Antebellum song called American Honey. I'm glad the stylists are making up for Wednesday's catastrophe, because I want Lauren's entire outfit tonight. She looks fantastic.
FORD! music video. They're all dressed as zombies and singing Animal. Of course they are. And then the zombies just want to hang out in the Ford Mustang and play music. Of course they do.
Haley and Casey sing Moanin'. I'm not familiar with this song, but their duet is FANTASTIC. I seriously love Haley's voice and this is right in Casey's jazzy wheelhouse. Wow. Did they just replace Lee & Crystal as my favorite Idol duet ever? Results: after that incredible performance, Haley is in the bottom 3, and #oldladyvote is safe once again.
Kelly Clarkson, our original American Idol, is here singing with some guy whose face I can't see under his cowboy hat. I heart her so much, but not a fan of this song. Aw, remember how cute Kelly was when she won? SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIIIIIMMMEEEE.......
Stefano, James, Jacob, & Paul are singing a medley from The Graduate. Meh. Give us results already. Stefano and Paul are in the bottom two. Can't say I'm shocked, but Stefano had his best performance of the season this week.
Ugh, Rihanna too? It's so cute when she thinks she can actually sing ballads. And is she wearing a velvet gown? In California, in April? I'm confused. I actually like this song, just not sung by Rihanna, though she sounds much better than usual. I'd rather hear someone like Carrie Underwood sing it.
Finally, results. I feel like I've been watching this for hours. Haley is sent back to safety, down to Stefano and Paul. As we know by now, Paul and his blindingly white teeth are going home and are now free to go date that chick from Twilight. He's fun and all, but someone that quirky was never going to win.
Next week is songs from the 21st century, so... songs from the past 11 years? Should be interesting. Someone please sing Britney, k?
