AI quick thoughts

[revid]

Wow. Adam. Honey. What was that? I loved it, don't get me wrong, but I'm not exactly AI's core demographic either. "Ring of Fire" in 80s glam rock style FTW.

I'm actually calling a swing and a miss. But props to you for going for the bleachers, OK? And maybe you should have played it safe and done "I Can't Make You Love Me". but then you would have blended in with everyone else. I'm calling this the most controversial performance of a song EVER on Idol. But tone down the eye-fucking. Just because I want to fuck you doesn't mean that everyone else does.

And yet... I liked it better than anything else I heard the whole night. And spare me the "How dare he defile Johnny Cash" bullshit. Cash did vastly different takes on other people's songs all the time. ("Hurt", anyone?)

And that mentor country star with a face like a dried up apple core? "We don't see too many boys wearin' nail polish where I'm from." Then you need to get out more, you idiot. (Plus, I'm getting this vague recollection that this was the guy who married the manager 20 years his senior when the rumors about his "preferences" were getting a bit too loud. Now it makes sense.)

The judges tonight were all acting like someone pissed in their cornflakes. They bitch the contestants out for being too different, then they bitch them out for being too the same. I hate these god-awful theme nights, and country is the WORST. Why not let them pick what songs they do best?

As much as I love Adam, I am growing to hate Danny. He just bugs me. He sang "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and as someone on TWoP said: Jesus take the wheel, please, and steer into the oncoming semi so that I never have to put up with his self-important preaching again. SO MUCH WORD.

So Adam, next time, you GOTTA play it safe, OK babe. Still flove you man, though.

I watched it! And I thought of you when I saw your hot new boyfriend. :) I'm starting to wonder if he might be related to Davey??? ;) lol. But DAMN he's pretty!

[revid.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I've gotten the Davey vibe from him A LOT on some of his old YouTube videos.

Adam was definitely over the top tonight. Which is why I adore him.

[mikeyface.livejournal.com]

I can see why you do! Talent and hotness all in one pretty package. Is it wrong that I'd like to read some Brian Kinney/Adam slash? XD

Anywhoo, I was out in the living room when AI was on, and I felt compelled to sit down and watch. :D I blame you entirely though, because if not for your mad Adam love, I would not have been intrigued enough ;)

We are all enablers here. And proud of it.

And I would TOTALLY read Brian/Adam porn! Totally!

[mikeyface.livejournal.com]

We are, aren't we? ;) And oh man, if only I knew Adam better! I'd WRITE us some! I vote you give it a try ;)

And AWWW. I want to cuddle him in that icon of yours!!! :D

As I've said on AIM, but I'll repeat it here...wtf was THAT? I thought all three of the widely considered front runners did craptastic tonight. Adam's was that atrocious Egyptian gay porn arrangement and the stripper eyes. Danny's was all, what's that, America, you think I'm too church-y for American Idol? Well let me put that out of your minds by singing a Jesus song...and a shitty one at that. Lil figured she'd pay an homage to country by choosing one of those big country songs, with a big story, without figuring on how you can only sing half of it, so then it just sounds stupid and unfinished. Alexis picked one of my most hated country songs ever and did a karaoke version of it. Scott is still blind and still a nice guy, but the former is the reason he's still here. Megan is still weird, but she'll get sick bonus votes this week so might not go home. Sarver took a high energy country tune and then acted like he was glued to the stage, as though he couldn't move while singing those fastasthat lyrics. Anoop chose one of the few country songs I actually like and did not make me want to hit him with something, so that was a victory of sorts.

So that leaves the three I liked tonight...Alison, who was great and the best girl by light years. Kris, who was so good that even though I'm not a ballad-y person too often, actually made me wanna download that song and Matt, who gets forgiven for resembling Timberlake by being awesome.

I think its a crap shoot who goes home, but my money's on Sarver or Megan. And I hope Adam and Danny both can redeem themselves next week. =)

I basically agree with you on almost everything. Kris wasn't bad, but bored the shit out of me. Just wasn't memorable.

Anoop got the most improved award, for sure.

Definitely Sarver or Megan (Caw! Caw! Cough! Cough!) need to be packing bags.

Okay...I would so by Adam's cover of Ring of Fire (if I had enough space left on my pc for buying more itunes) I LOVED it. But, having said that it was IMHO a HUGE mistake I'm really worried that he may get voted off which totally sucks b/c he's the reason I'm watching this season. I'm going to be very nervous for him during the next 24 hours.

[revid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've gotten a bit nervous thinking about it. But worst case, I think the judges would use their "save" on him if he got voted out this early.

I've been listening to the mp3, and the more I listen, the more I like it. I can't wait to hear the studio version. I wouldn't be surprised if Simon does his little back-pedal number tomorrow, too.

Wow. Adam. Honey. What was that?

Haha, best response ever. We are completely on the same page. That, too, was my reaction, but that was also why I looooved it. The only bad thing was that it felt terribly short to me! And some of those notes? Oh my god. It doesn't seem possible to hit some of the notes he does. It was so ridiculously different and unexpected (even from him, that's not what I was expecting!) and no one can ever, ever negatively critique him on originality. If he doesn't make it all the way to the end I'll never understand what happened, besides the fact that the producers cheat.

They bitch the contestants out for being too different, then they bitch them out for being too the same

I KNOW! I mean, Paula basically tells Allision, 'hey! listen, we've heard it all before', but then Lil says "I was trying to show different things" and they say "no, that's not who you are, sing what you always sing". They make no friggin sense.

I'm growing to hate Danny too! It came out of nowhere for me, but I like him less and less each week. I mean, just, uh uh.

P.S. Adam's sex eyes, FTW.
