American Idol
Dammit. I managed to miss the Erin and Trathena show. *pouts*

Gokey has always been a fucker and Sarver never really rubbed off on me either.

Erin I don't doubt you would have killed them both (or had them arrested on some made up charge, because that's how you roll)

You're on to something here.

The charge: Felonious Douchebaggery.

*snort* I love it.

And that is the best charge ever.

*high fives you*

Oh my God. If only . . . if only that was an actual crime in this country.

I know, right? This place would be so much better if being a tool were a felony. Then again, our prisons are already overcrowded as it is. Maybe we could just put a giant fence around one state and put them all in there. Would anyone really miss, like, Wyoming?

God, that would be great.

And I hope the board gets fixed soon, dammit.

HAHA! You're fantastic.

We just need to let the drug users go, and there'd be plenty of room left for the douche bags. But I like your other idea just as much.

Can I make a suggestion? Wyoming is too pretty. I pick Oklahoma. Most douche bags like Sarver and Gokey (when you really get to know their politics) don't have a problem with how we exiled the Native Americans there, so let's do the same to them and see if they change their tune.

*Snicker* I love your suggestion, Trathena! Great idea! Maybe we should shove them up to like, Alaska or something.

Nah, Alaska's too pretty, too. And think of the polar bears! (Actually, if they eat people....)

But no, I think Tracy's right. Oklaholma it is! Either that or Mississippi, I think. Do we really need Mississippi? I think not. We've already got to deal with Louisiana and Alabama as it is, and Mississippi is just more of the same with, like, fewer teeth. It's redundant and a pain in the ass to type out.

(And I'm from Georgia, so I've earned the right to make fun of my neighboring shitty states.)

Oh! Oh! Texas wants to secede!

And we're off! The final show! For the first time this season, I'm not recording it!

Adam: I'm so glad he picked this song to open with. And he's not just mimicking how he sang it last time; he's changing it and god it's beautiful.

Kris: He looks the same now as he did when he was a kid! hee! This was a very good performance, but not incredibly moving.  Spouse: “He did everything that he wanted to do. Not execution-wise, but conception-wise.” I don't think he outperformed Adam, but he did very well.

Adam, part deux: Wow. Brilliant song choice.  It's so clear that Adam pays attention to what he sings, isn't it?  Spouse: “That had to be a curve ball; it's so not his tradition.”  I agree, that song is fucking difficult, and he nailed it.  Adam is so calm, isn't he? He's in complete control and singing perfectly.


And Paula is so drunk, isn't she?  She's completely oblivious and behaving ridiculously.


Kris, part deux: OK, he seems kind of off-key.  Or more specifically, he became off-key in the middle of the song.  Spouse: “He didn't disgrace himself there, but something's wrong when I'm listening to him, but thinking: 'wow, that's a great bass player.'”  It's great that Kris can play two instruments and all, but he didn't blow me away here.  And he knows he lost this round.

Wrong, drunk-ass Paula! He wasn't as good as Marvin Gay!


Hey, Sarver! Do you have un-Godly love for Anoop's knee?  Sarver's all, “See? I can touch a guy!”  Spouse: "Scott disapproves of all of it. All of it!"


And it's Shitty Single Time.  Am I right that they can't rearrange the single? They have to sing it as it's written?

Adam, part trois: He doesn't sound very sure of himself here.  And the song is in the wrong key for his voice.  And the background singers sound horrid.  Spouse: “If he had only had Dokken behind him, right?”  I laugh and pretend to know who Dokken is.  I don't think that Adam is happy with this performance.  UnneededKara was quite gracious, however! Wow.

And Adam's done. Good for him.  He has nothing to regret.  What a fucking amazing kid.


Kris, part trois: OK, he's struggling too.  And he forgot some words.  So goddamn UnneededKara wrote a song that doesn't fit well with either of the finalists' vocal range?  Whatever.  Kris is doing better here than Adam.  But he's not happy with his performance either.

And Kris is done.  And he's done incredibly well.  Well done Kris. Spouse: "Kris deserves to be there. And he should get props for his instrumental skills." Indeed.

This has been fun!  Adam deserves to win.  However, I do think that for the first time in AI history, I'll be buying the finalists' albums.

Ok.

I thought that the coronation song sucked ass. Honestly. It was too high for Kris and Adam I thought screeched through it.

But I loved Kris and Adam and I love them both. I'm happy with whomever wins. And on that note, I can't get through on Kris's lines at ALL.

How much do I hate that the contestants weren't allowed to close the show with their own personal song choice? Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis muuuuuuuuuuch.

Round 1: Adam was great, but I kinda agreed with Simon here. The production was too much. I liked "Ain't No Sunshine" more this time around, so I agreed there that Kris won round 1. They were both fantastic, though.

Round 2: Of course, give Adam the "moment" song. *rolls eyes at producers* See, I have this thing about Sam Cooke. I think he's the most perfect singer EVER, and I really wish Adam had dialed this one back a bit and restrained himself, because I felt like he oversang a song that didn't need to be oversung. The lyrics and melody are enough, and Adam could have KILLED this, but I thought he overdid it. Kris did as well as he possibly could have with a song that is not well-suited to this type of competition. Personally, I preferred Kris, but objectively, this round is a tie. I thought Kris performed better, but Adam had the better song. Call this one a wash.

Round 3: Neither of them could overcome this steaming pile of shit. Arrrrrrgggggg. Can't judge it fairly, here. Both of them seemed a little off, for good reason. Suck it, Kara.

Overall, I'll be happy with either guy winning. Great final 2, HORRIBLE coronation song.

Quote:However, I do think that for the first time in AI history, I'll be buying the finalists' albums.

Same here. Though I must highly recommend any of Kelly Clarkson's albums. Catchy pop-rock by someone who can sing her ass off? Yes, please.

Yep. Perfect description. Sucked.Ass.

Yeah, Kris sounded better than Adam, true. But he didn't sound all that great either, and he forgot a word or two, I believe.

But none of this reflects badly on either of them (or at least it shouldn't).  The song was written in too high a register, and if they weren't allowed to arrange it to fit their individual voices, then that's Kara's fault.  Hell, all the judges gave both of them a pass, and even Kara said it was too high. Now, whether or not the audience will understand this is another thing altogether.

Quote:I can't get through on Kris's lines at ALL.

Oh, that's a bad sign for Adam. I'm tellin' ya, Kris has the Christian vote, and that's huge. And it's not simply because Kris is religious (like Erin pointed out, he doesn't wear it on his sleeve), but rather that Adam is out and proud. That simply won't sit well with the Gokey crowd.

Y'know, I almost think Sam Cooke would have been a better fit for Kris, strangely enough. They sound nothing alike, but they're similar in that they rely on relative simplicity of their singing (I know Sam was "showy" for his time, but by today's standards what he did was downright tame) and just let the absolutely gorgeous tone of their voices shine through instead of relying on vocal acrobatics.

"Bring It On Home To Me" as the Adam/Kris duet for the finale, anyone? I'm fairly certain Kris is a baritone, so he could take the Lou Rawls part. Seriously, if you asked me to name my favorite song by anyone ever, that would be it. Our boys would kill it.

David Cook: "I don't know that America can get this wrong."

Well said.

OK, is it just that I'm drunk or do the Black Eye'd Peas kick fucking ass?

Ryan to Bikini Girl: "I was gonna as you what's new, but I think I know." hahahaha!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Katrina? (aka. bikini girl?) Playboy, followed by porn, followed by disappear forever.

Heh. So true. And yes, the show is barely half over but Ryan gets the line of the night. Genius.

I've really, REALLY enjoyed the show thus far. I didn't hate Lil and she rocked with Queen Latifah! And Kris/Keith Urban was WAY better than it had any right to be. I actually kinda loved that. And David Cook was awesome, too. So far, so good.

WHOA. I'm kinda shocked. Heh.
