Yeah, he's always on 11, even when he's trying to be on 4. He would fit right in with a full compliment of rock dudes, sharing the stage and the sonic spectrum.<br /><br />"She sounded like that nasty old codger in the neighborhood" named Casey Abrams. Tee hee.<br /><br />"How he managed to get the Navy SEALs to take out Osama bin Laden to make this song even more timely is impressive!" You are just sooo clever. :) Well, if it were true that he did that, he'd certainly get my vote. But it ain't, so he won't.<br /><br />"She's adorable, talented, and totally unaware she possesses the first two traits." That is absolutely the best description of Lauren I have ever read. Though she seemed like she was aware at her audition, without her best friend and family around, she seems so... sad.<br /><br />"She's a little bit Dolly, but also a little bit Carrie." I love 'em both.<br /><br />"I'm sure God already got the memo on Gaga, kid. No worries." Ha ha. That reminds me of when Calvin and Susie were in class (April 4, 1989) and she was caught writing a response note to the nasty note he had just written and she had to go to the Principal's office and once there, the Principal told her not to worry because "We've got quite a file on our friend Calvin." Heh.<br /><br />"I don't like seeing sweet, seventeen-year-old girls romp around the stage telling us how evil they are." You must not like current pop music then. And I must not either. Big surprise.<br /><br />"Lauren didn't even feel comfortable with the lyrics." Good for her. I wish she would've just asked for a different song. Was she not allowed to change it? Did she not have the courage to request a song change? Or did she not know she could make such a request?<br /><br />"The guy can control a stage." That's the awesome thing about him. I seriously hope he has a metal career after all this. He'll fit right in with the scene.rar745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-70134835582100667312011-05-14T13:44:59.972-07:002011-05-14T13:44:59.972-07:00I think that the judges were deliberately harsh on...I think that the judges were deliberately harsh on Haley in order to influence the viewers against her and it backfired. Instead people who may not have voted otherwise, came out in droves and voted for Haley in standing up against the unfairness of the judges and in sync with Steven Tyler!<br />Tragically, it is James Durbin who became the victim. He is the most talented contestant ever on Idol, and I have no further desire to watch Idol now that he is gone. He did say that he learned a lesson as a result of getting so emotional about a particular song that he was unable to sing effectively. And I agree with Shari that going for the high note is not what its about. James has amazing power in his voice, and can sing anything. In the duet with Scotty alias Howdy Doody, on the results show, James sounded more country than Scotty. James Durbin has a gift like no other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-72338662653405563592011-05-12T10:10:32.065-07:002011-05-12T10:10:32.065-07:00Just a comment or 2 and maybe a quick math lesson....Just a comment or 2 and maybe a quick math lesson. First, the lesson:<br /><br />AI + MJ = 0. <br />Believe it or not, there are still millions and millions of MJ fans out there who go all OJ on us when anyone even thinks of singing one of his songs. Haley did a respectable job, but JLo (in keeping with the OJ theme) had a field day. If I'm ever in prison with this woman, I want her in my headlights at all times. Q.E.D.<br /><br />Scotty's first tune was a nice safe choice that contained enough apple pie to put Sara Lee in jealous attack mode. Wow. Log Cabin, eat your heart out. The 2nd tune was another marching hillbilly nightmare led by Slim Pickens and the Sons of Muscatel.<br /><br />James did the Journey tune that was played in the final episode of The Sopranos. It resurrected old memories how much I hated the writers for that lame, cop-out ending. I paid extra for the premium channels and dammit, don't set me up for a blood bath and then give me Archie and Veronica in an ice cream shop. James did well on his 2nd tune, but it seemed out of place--like a Russian in a wool suit trying to infiltrate the Arizona CIA in July. It was okay and he should be safe.<br /><br />Lauren's first song was excellent. "Trouble", however, was so bad that it most likely had Elvis spinning like a corn dog. It was completely unbelievable and a very slothy walk-through at best. <br /><br />The AI buckboard seems to drop another wheel each week. What's that? A shocker you say...just to keep it interesting? Okay, how about Scotty and Lauren in the bottom 2 with Lauren putting them there boots in the street.<br /><br />DrScanlonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
