OK, a warning about tonight’s recap, I won’t be taping it so maybe I will miss details for recapping.

My usual way of doing recaps is to chat and sort of pay attention to what is going on. Then I re-watch for details. Well, I have a primitive recording device (aka a VCR), it only records one channel at a time and Lost is on. So in order to watch American Idol and chat, I have to tape Lost. And sorry, in a showdown between Lost and American Idol, Lost will win every single time. I even am having trouble not watching Lost instead of Idol tonight, I keep worrying that the tape will mess up. I will be pissed if that happens.

Anyhow, the recap may be a little less accurately detailed. Sorry (well not really).

THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL with an uber casual dressed Ryan. Huh.

The judges seating order is changed, change, I don’t like change. Unless it is something good, I doubt this will be good.

Once again the judges, except for Simon, are stupid, so I will ignore them most of the time.

1-Jasmine 17, you don’t say. She sings something about a Love Song, she sucks. Can you believe she is only 17? Judges say good and bad. Mostly not good. Simon likes her and her attitude, but does not like her voice. The audience boos him, he says I just said what they did and you booed me, ya assholes.

Remember, I can’t go back and check it out, I might get some details wrong.

OK, someone in chat (that would be Hezzer), just put up a list of song spoilers, if they are right, I’m gonna be having A FUCKING DANDY EVENING!!! Bring on the pain, fuck.

2- Matt G. sings a Cold Play song. Uh, ick, Its kind of all over the place for me with a charming final run. He sounds like hell. Blech. The idiots are complaining about song choice. Simon calls it a horrible performance and it’s really put him off Matt.

3-Some woman, who’s name starts with a J, starts singing. This Love by Maroon 5. I agree with Simon, horrible, painful at times, she does have nice legs. Oh and she is begging, shut the fuck up. Oh and her name is Jeanine.

OK, tonight is worse than last week so far, or maybe just as bad. This does not bode well, I might start watching Lost soon. Hey, no stupid family members waiting to be interviewed. This change I like.

4-Nick idiot Norman, who ever. He sings a song, And I Am Telling You (thanks Nevada). He sucks and it’s kind of silly, but not funny enough. Lordy. I do like that he is not taking this show seriously at all. He also inspired some Simon and Ryan banter. Simon is a bad boy. He asked if Ryan liked the performance and Ryan said, yes in a different way than you, and Simon basically said, I’ll bet and I’m not getting into it.

5-Allison, only 16. Great, sings Alone by Heart. I hate Heart. The judges like her. Simon thinks she is the best of the evening. But she sang Heart. I tune out automatically. BIAS ALERT!!! KAC HATES HEART!!! END OF ALERT.

6-Phone call from Boris he is sick, I missed most of Kris. Hell I missed it all. A phone call from Boris was more important. The judges seemed to like him, Simon did too. OK. I missed one of the few good performances tonight. He sang Man in the Mirror I’ve been told.

7-Meghan sings Put Your Record On (thanks Hezzer), she is not too bad. I could like her. Simon calls her a funny little thing. He said she started well, and then started to over sing. He hopes America votes for her. She is definitely not a typical pop performer, more jazzy, not girly or screaching glory notes.

8-Another Matt. A big burly Matt. The Welder. Matt the Welder. He does not sing a Michael Bolton song, he sings a song called Tonic. Thank Christ that spoiler was way wrong. Phew. And I fell asleep. What happened? Hezzer says “That performance was like Michael Bolton singing a cover of The Rolling Stones.” Well that was quite boring.

Hmm, Michael Bolton reminds me of this scene in Office Space, I find myself wondering why anyone would think of singing his songs.

9-Jesse is a single mother. And fuck me, she is singing Bette Davis Eyes. I hate this song. So you guys tell me, was it good? Because I was cringing. Randy said it did not show off her range. He does like his vocally gymnastic divas. Maybe he was right though. Not much range in the song. Simon thinks she is forgettable. That she was “too cool for school”. I don’t know. I have already forgotten most of what I heard.

I am not taping this remember, I can’t go back and check stuff.

10-Kai. Sings about What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. Well, things have been getting better. The song was boring. He wasn’t too bad. Simon says old fashioned and not distinct. Too safe maybe? Oh Randy just said that. Damn. I was one with Simon’s mind, now I am linking to Randy’s.

Blech. I don’t want to go there.

11-Mishavonna. Bored now. Sorry is this one of the more boring songs I’ve heard? Drops of Jupiter. Simon thinks it’s a great song. But something left him cold. Was it too old? Who knows and who cares?

Song choice tonight. Why do they sing such boring songs.

12-Adam Lambert, in the PIMP position? No!!! What a surprise! He sings Satisfaction. OK. Wow, it’s good. He is kicking some musical butt. He made it interesting too, not just karaoke. Paula gives him a standing ovation. Simon thinks it was bad and brilliant. Randy loved it too.

But let us gain some perspective (thanks Hezzer!).

Well this was not as appalling as last week. Maybe next week will be even better.

Until later.

kimkac is glad at least some people did not suck tonight.
