The big vote off night...

Was that not the most heinous way to send off the lowest vote getters or what?!? Wow. That was just torture on those contestants. Bottom row, you can relax.... JUST KIDDING! You're OUT! Felt a little sorry for them. A little. That first girl was standing there like she was strung out on something and didn't even comprehend what was going on. Poor thing...

Oh well. Glad it wasn't me.

Actually, I found some good moments on this results show. Usually that isn't the case. It's an hour of this and that and that and this and soon we'll be watching freaky group numbers and shots of them in a Ford car performing weird skits. Count your blessings, cause we still have it made right now.

ANYWAY ... back to the good moments... Some from the results show, some from the performance nights:

America got it right. Those that sucked the most got the boot first. And that's actually not saying too much because I really wasn't impressed with too many of them. The boys in particular better step up their game or all my favorites will be out real fast! I was scared for David, Travis and Janay.

Speaking of Janay... come on girl. You are NOT 35 you are 17 and young and very cute and do not have to be so blinged out every time we see you. Let it go honey. Let it go. You know what I noticed though? The nice full weave she paid all that money for during the auditions in Hollywood was much better than this weave. I mean this girl is suffering from a bit of EDD (not to be confused with ADD) Extension Deficit Disorder. A little thin looking honey. I'd ask for a discount on that. But hey, such a cute girl with a powerhouse voice, if she pulls it together we may forget all about her hair.

Hhmmm... what else... oh yeah... SCOTT I think I'd better start looking a little more fly SAVOL! Come all ya'll... did you see my boy in his hat and glasses. Isn't it amazing what a simple ball cap and pair of glasses can do for your image (that's code for: big 'ol head)?? You go Scott. Go on with your bad self. Now just like Janay you have got to get your act together and pick better songs and blow all those other wannabes out of the competition. I'm still stuck on him ya'll. Say it. I don't care. Talk to the hand.

And you want to know what else? Thank you to all those that have written in to put a name to that irritating Mikalah chick. The consensus seems to be Fran Drescher. You are absolutely right. She does remind me (more horribly so) of the nanny herself. So let it be written, so let it be done. Fran Drescher from here on out she shall be.

Loved Carrie Underwood. Stylists are already chomping at the bit to get a hold of her in the finals. A makeover is coming. That I will put money on.

Loved Anwar. Those stylist are up all night dreaming about his hair too... but I don't see him letting that happen.

GO MARIO! Love this boy's voice. HOT, HOT voice. I don't want to hear it. I love him and hope people don't grow tired of him like they did Ricky or Trenyce for instance in year's past. Two others with phenomenal voices but not enough personality to sustain them.

And bringing up the hot girls performance category is Vonzell. We have a saying around here: You have got to be a card carrying diva to do 2 things - One is sing Whitney Houston Bodyguard. The other is to use one name. Vonzell honey... you're close... show me a little more fire and I'll give you the one name thing. (Trencye earned it with a Bodyguard song by the way... )

A few of those girls don't belong there and I hope the judges are kicking themselves for getting rid of Tammy Wynette Nash and Gina McFadden who would have been far more interesting at least. I don't have to name names. Ya'll know who you are.

Alright, that's my 2 cents for this week. I have no real predictions this week since no one really pushed me over the edge this time around except Mario and Anwar. This is shades of group 2 last year in the semi-final rounds... very promising... until they choked and shocked us all with how bad they were. (Was that last year? The seasons all seem to run together after a while don't they?)

I'm out.

You go, Sandie. I'm comfortable with America's choices so far. I'm especially glad they got rid of that curly-haired big-eyed girl who spent too much time flirting with camera and not enough time SINGING. Can't wait till next week.

Absolutely Sandie. And it's a baaaad Fran Drescher too. Oy. I want her gone. Yesterday.

And, while I'm at it, I want every stylist in Hollywood working on Scott so they will stay AWAY from Anwar. Scott needs some help in that department and Anwar is perfect as is.

OK, I don't know where Sandie & Shonda are -- I hope they're OK -- so maybe while we're waiting we can get the party started down here. First off, big props to Fox for making the elimination show only half an hour, and for bagging all that your're in-you're out stand up-sit down BS. Did America get it right? Joe Murena Portuguese Night Club singer and Celena Rae Forgettable both were good to go -- they were both just aiight -- but I was impressed by Joe's diva ego saying he didn't do anything wrong & America's just not ready for him yet. David Brown, sad to see what happened to him. Where'd the talent go man? Two weak performances in a row, that's a killer. And then Aloha. I'm going to miss her. She really has something going on. This week was just a slipup for her, same as it was for all the girls except for Jessica Sierra. And Aloha's a lady too -- her farewell speech was the best. Now what do you all think???

Dave said...

Of the eight people who have been eliminated, six of them we had never heard before the final 24 (Aloha, Celena, Jared, Joseph, Judd and Melinda). The other two, Sarah and David, we hadn't heard much from since the auditions, and I believe both were in week 1 in Washington.

This does not bode well for Jessica, Travis and Bo, who we also did not get to see, although Jessica and Bo have really brought their game.

I think this is at best negligence and at worst outright bias towards some people who have either been outright bad (Janay), underachieved (Private Pyle), or are downright annoying (Mikalah) and have been given lots of face time on TV.

I think Janay needs to go; she's way too young for this.

You can read more of my comments on my blog.

We miss you Sandie and Shonda!

Sounds like some good people are getting cheated of a fair chance. All that pre-live-competition stuff was a waste anyway. And yes, Janay is too young and not good enough -- she should go, along with Fran Drescher. When the judges talk about Fran D's performances, I think we watched different shows!! Paula: "You nailed it." Huh?! Out of tune, shaky, poor phrasing -- in what way is that nailing it? Don't get me started.

Alot of interesting comments on this blog, I was searching for some doctor related info and some how came across this site. I found it pretty cool, so I bookmarked. I'll really liked the second post on the front page, that got my attention.

My site is in a bit different area, but just as useful. I have a six week body makeover diet related site focusing on six week body makeover diet and mens health related topics.
