The shame - Idol opinions
I usually just watch the painful auditions, because I like to be reassured that there are people on this planet who are worse singers than I am. And that's how they get us, isn't it? The promise of seeing people who are stupid or lame and full of unwarranted arrogance get taken down the few pegs they sorely need to be taken down.
Last season they roped me in for the whole run with a hottie. So far, have seen no one hot enough to make me watch all the way through.
Tuesday:
Oh Derek. You make me wince with your cluelessness and awfulness. And yet! NIGEL NIGEL NIGEL! *wipes away tear of mirth*
I thought Assyrian!Boy was a cutie and had a nice voice; I was bummed they didn't at least ask him to sing something in English.
It deeply distresses me that our culture has degraded to the point where 16-year-olds think Paris Hilton is worthy of emulation and can leave their houses tarted up like her without being stoned to death by townsfolk.
Mandisa, Just Mandisa was awesome.
Poor Ukranian!Girl. She was a terrible singer, but she had such a cute personality. Surely someone that hot and engaging can get some kind of job in showbiz? Has a live-action Rocky & Bullwinkle already been done?
I like seeing all the young guys doing old classics.
Delusional!Cussing!Ho!Girl. Oh dear god.
"Staaart spreadin' th-"
"THANK YOU!"
Hee hee hee hee.
The most shameful part of all... one Binky29 on the TWoP forums said it best: I have a confession to make. When Ryan was talking to the grandma (the one that said she'd physically hurt Simon), and she asked if Ryan wanted to help, and Ryan was all "God, you don't know how badly..." in that breathy sex-voice, my mind immediately went somewhere naughty. Me too. So. Much.
Oy.
Wednesday:
OMG, the little cowboy who's only ever sung for turkeys! He was adorable.
Apparently Ace had been hyped pre-show such that people are already thoroughly sick of him. I thought his voice wasn't that great, but day-um, was he cute. Floppy hair gets me every time.
I would have felt sorry for Zach, whose parents clearly had to decide at some point whether to raise him as a boy or girl and picked the wrong one, except that he was such a whiny bitch about the whole thing.
I read that the girl who sang Bjork was a TWoP regular, which just makes her that much cooler. She had a great retro style, and she could sing.
I was ready to hate AboutToBeEvicted!Girl because she seemed like such a dumbass at first, and I was rolling my eyes at her sob story... but then she sang, and came across all sweet and humble, and I was happy that she made it through after all.
I was also ready to hate the 16-year-old girl who's been the example of "the good" in every single preview for four months, but she also came across like someone who just happens to have an incredible voice but hasn't let it turn her head in any way, so I ended up liking her too.
I forget which of my friends posted the link to Vegan Lunch Box, but man, that site is 32 flavors of awesome. I'm going to make the vegan fishsticks for dinner tonight.
Mona has gotten on top of the bookcase three times and asked very politely for help getting down three times. I think she just likes to make me get her down. It's so funny how she clearly asks a question with her meow when she needs help.
