HurlyBurly51 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Well,next weeks theme is Rod Stewart. 661727[/snapback] Yawn. And they're not even letting them choose some of his older, classic material. It's all this American standards type music he's been putting out recently.

UB2SF Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I thought Queen was supposed to perform live on the results show -- I seem to recall Ryan saying that on Tuesday's show, or at least on last week's elimination show when they announced Queen Week. Anybody know why they didn't perform? Was Brian May too pi$$ed that Ace didn't get booted off the show after asking Queen to change the arrangement of We Will Rock You? 661404[/snapback] Found the answer to my own question, in case anyone is interested. Actually, lots of intresting Idol stuff in this link to Brian May's blog... Blog from Brian May's website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 My prediction on the bottom 3 was dead on, but once again my prediction of Ace being booted off was 100% wrong. How has this guy survived? Did anyone actually hear that rendition of "We Will Rock You"? That version sounded like it should be sung by peace activists. So long Bucky, you were actually good about 3 times, so it was time for you to go as well. My current standings: 1.Katharine 2.Chris 3.Taylor 4.Kellie 5.Paris 6.Elliott 7.Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Chris is AWESOME! That was beautiful. 664917[/snapback] That was very, very impressive. It reminded me of when Bo Bice went a'cappella w/out the band last season. Not quite as daring, but just as good of a performance. After hearing that, I think he's clearly the most talented person in the competition. I honestly didn't think he could pull something like that off. Kudos to Daughtry!

Mark Vader Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Bottom 3 prediction: Ace, Elliott, Kellie Eliminated: Ace To be honest nobody was terrible tonight. Still, this has got to be it for Ace. there is no way he is any better than most of these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 No way, I say Pickler is Final 4 with Chris, McFunbags, and Spazz. Bottom 3 is Elliott, Fake-ass Tootie, and Gayce. and Snaggletooth Elliott is gone tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Coli Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. The Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes science experiment has produced a silent scream and a baby girl. Reports are daughter and human incubator are doing just swell. They’ve named the little bundle of joy “Suri”, which I’m told means “red rose” in Persian, “princess” in Hebrew, and “Devourer of Worlds” in Alpha-Centaurian. So, while Tom munches away on his placenta sandwich, and reptilian stormtroopers whisk away the vessel formerly known as Katie Holmes, we’ll toast the newest “Louise Brown”-esque addition to the third rock from the sun and make fun of some lesser known singing bags of meat. Idol has deemed it necessary to eliminate all of the interesting contestants, leaving us with boring wannabes of varying shades of the same water-colored talent. This makes it pretty freaking hard to dole out the trashy comments and anecdotes, and we’ve almost burned through our entire copy of “The Big Book of Entertainment Clichés, Innuendos, and Insults” with a month-and-a-half of top-notch AI programming left. But, I’m willing to pour a Cocktail, take on this Mission Impossible and keep the Collateral damage to a minimum, if you’ll promise that there’ll be no Risky Business on your end (groan). It’s Rod “The Mod” Stewart night on Idol. I’m not a huge fan of the guy who sang “Young Turks” and “Do you want my Body”, and I mostly remember him for loudly-colored hot pants and the mid-70s rumor about him going to the ER to have a gallon of semen pumped from his stomach. Questionable dietary proclivities aside, he’s another old singer who’s got a new-ish CD collection out, so in the minds of the AI producers he’s a perfect choice to trot out before a group of kids who don’t know him and don’t want his feedback, but will pretend this is the greatest moment of their lives and he’s been their jukebox hero the whole time they were growing up. To further reduce his relevance to the show, the Idol kids can only pick covers of old classics that he sang and released on the collection. But, whatever the reason was for knocking on his crypt door and inviting him on the show, we’re stuck with him and his bad dye-job, so here we go…. Chris Daughtry "What a Wonderful World": Pretty easy song-choice for Ed Kowalczyk, I mean Chris Daughtry. I thought it was a bit weak, as I prefer the versions done by Joey Ramone and The Flaming Lips. But the judges thought he was great (big surprise there…the ushers had to mop under Paula’s chair during the break), and this Top Gun is undoubtedly safe. Holy Cow!?! A Marilu Henner sighting! Must be a new Fox miniseries in the works about a used up divorcee getting passed around like a party favor on the set of a sitcom. Bottoms up, Marilu. Paris Bennett "These Foolish Things”: Little Miss Thing got to do The Ryan Seacrest Interview before she sang, and we got to see Little Miss Thing’s mom shed some tears (yawn). Her salmon (silent “L”, for the Pickler-posse) colored dress was a welcome change from last week’s frightening bondage get-up, and she nailed the song. Unfortunately the Report on this Minority is someone’s gotta be in the bottom three, and I wouldn’t be shocked if she was forced to stand in the Spotlight of Anxiety this week.. Talyor Hicks "You Send Me": Taylor looked mighty old standing next to the vampire playboy Rod The Mod, and it’s a testament to Rod’s plastic surgeon and all the blood he sucked out of Rachel Hunter that he looks so damned good for his age. Compared to Manilow’s “taut as the head of a drum” face and Kenny Rogers’ weathered visage, Rod looked positively youthful. Hicks’ rendition of the Sam Cook hit was pretty dull until about halfway through when he panicked and started to bust out the seizure-inspired gyrations he’s known for. That probably saved his fat ass, because even though he showed he could in fact sing a little tonight, the audience doesn’t want Taylor Hicks…they want a drunken Chris Farley imitator. He made All The Right Moves, and he’s safe. Elliott Yamin “It Had to Be You”: It has to be someone, all right. And this week it could be Elliot to hit the road. His singing was ok…(he got to toss in his signature Yo MTV Raps Karate Chop) but it had an MS telethon feel to it. Replace the band with C-level “stars” manning the phone-banks and trot out a few kids, and he could have been Jerry Lewis minus the sweat and the ring around the collar. Vanilla “Sky” Ice could be in the bottom three, and very well could be singing The Song of Shame as a lead-in to your local news. Mimi Rogers!!!!! Nice to see one of Cruise’s former beards in the audience on a night when his Offspring of the Damned emerges. Serendipity abounds! Kelli Pickler “Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered”: Rod The Mod said she had great personality, which in the entertainment biz means “She’s an idiot, but she’s got good looks.” How many Kelli Pickler’s (and A Few Good Men) has Rod Stewart used up in the course of his career? Hundreds? Thousands? Rod knows how she got this far, and he knows it’s got nothing to do with what comes out of her mouth. To prove the point that her fans aren’t voting for her because of her singing ability, girlfriend didn’t bother to sing at all, then batted her eye lashes and apologized for butchering it. She’s almost daring you to not vote for her at this point. She could end up in the bottom three this week, but it’s hard to believe that she won’t advance. Ace Young “That's All”: Ace cleaned up, wore a suit, pulled his hair back into a Last Samurai-like do, and added a lip quiver to his repertoire. Now we have “gaze longingly”, “pout”, and “quivering lip” to look forward to until he’s eliminated, which could come this week, but probably won’t because America is stupid. Last up, the Kat the wasn’t kidnapped and impregnated by aliens…. Katherine McFee “Someone to Watch Over Me”: She looked stunning, as usual, and totally nailed her song. She is Far and Away the best singer in the competition and should win the whole thing, which means the producers of AI will put her in the bottom three again to induce hysteria in the voters next week. The big winner tonight was Rod Stewart, who got to show off his trophy fiancée and new (normally conceived) son, and let us see that he’s never suffered from the effects of swallowing Mr. Microphone. The real loser tonight is Katie “there’s no place like home…there’s no place like home” Holmes whose purpose is now over and is being dragged away from her posh lifestyle to get chained to a dungeon wall. Bottom three: Tough call…everyone but Pickler showed up tonight. I’ll say Paris, Elliot and Ace get to stand under the hot lights, and Elliot gets booted . I’ve been wrong almost every week, though, which means I thankfully can’t find the musical pulse of the viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
