ain't no sunshine

just returned from the happiest place on earth... and no, i do not mean a taping of american idol - i mean disney. a little spring break fun in the sun. the kids are happy and i am a hero mom. walt - you are a genius. go me. On to idol for this week.

i was too busy watching mickey's greatest firework show to watch idol last night so I rushed home to my tivo remote tonight to see what i had missed. and much to my dismay i found that last night the kids sang some whacky song choices again. this won't take long...

anoop dawg - usher?!?!?! ok son, you got some cool, ghetto funk to your voice i'll give you that. but you are no usher. i thought this could be a cool performance for anoop and that he might finally show us some more personality. well...no, i was wrong. it was ok. but just ok. and just ok won't cut it now.

megan - you know what? if i thought she'd be around long enough i'd give her a name - lawnmower. Her voice reminds me of an irritating motor whining on and on. PLEASE, make it all stop. i don't even know what the heck she was singing because i was so busy trying to tune that voice out that i couldn't hear the words! no joke. but i will say this - spanx are your friend megan when you have that little pooch in the front and muffin top on the sides... we all have it... i love my spanx and you should find some you love too if you plan on spending more time on tv.

soul train - at first i was like RASCAL FLATS??? You're killing me. but then he put a little soul train spin on the middle like i hoped he could and brought me around. don't write me - i LOVE some rascal flats ya'll... i just thought it would be tough for him to turn that into a danny song. i was wrong.

allison - really?!?! honey, you do not need that crazy get up for us to know you are a wild rocking teen! We hear it in your voice. It's all good, great voice like I've always said, but this week she does not get the best of the night shout out from me at all. and the judges were right, the crazy getup was all very distracting for me. unnecessary.

piano man - speaking of piano man...anything billy joel should be good right? i loved billy joel back in the day...sigh..... what can i say - I'm just an old school kind of girl. ok look, scott was admittedly better than the performances we've seen lately. he wasn't all that to warrant all the gushing by the judges though. and another thing, that new look is just horrible. if he could see i can't imagine that he would have looked in the mirror and said "dang, i look gooood". it's like a cross between patrick swayze in dirty dancing and michael jackson in beat it. both good looking around 1987. neither good in 2009. thank you very much.

JT - funny, but i liked what my boy JT did tonight. apparently I was the only one who did cause all the judges slaughtered him. yes, the boy can sing some Awra & B (that the way some of us like to say R&B for those that don't know) but shouldn't we be applauding the versatility? every artist today is dying to find the crossover niche for themselves. I disagree with the judges completely.

lil rounds - she looked really, really good this week I will say that. and even beyonce's booty has never looked like that in a dress! what?!?! bootyliscious is an understatement. having a stylist has been good for her and she should consider keeping him or her when this is all over. ok the song... sigh... i want her to do well... i love her voice..... but i honestly did not like this performance. the judges were right - she is having trouble picking songs each week. but how adorable were those lil' girls?!?!

rock star - i don't know this week. play that funky music white boy... play that funky music... this is a solid hit by wild cherry back in the day and this did not work for me at all. i still got mad love for ya (as randy would say) but that was a hot mess to me. a hot mess.


kris - said he was trying to make one of those moments... hhmmm... great voice... but nothing special to "make one of those moments" for me. sorry. with a great song like ain't no sunshine when she's gone - i gotta disagree with the judges a little here. he could have made that an incredible bluesy r&b moment yes, but he didn't. too "pop sounding" for my taste for that song. what he did was ok - but i certainly do not think it was all that. not a great moment in AI history and not one of the best of the night not any of those things.

you know, i'm too tired to even give you a tivo moment. maybe the best moment would be the end. thank you very much. sorry. not sure i'm still writing coherently as my head is now very foggy and sleep deprived. must disappear for some sleep. did not watch the results show yet so DO NOT go telling me all day tomorrow who got voted off!

whatever. peace out everybody.
