Where the frak is Kenny and what have you done to him?So I know I've been lax on this recap for the past two weeks. The only excuse I can give you is there's much better TV out there for me to be talking about. My roommate and I mostly watch this show on fast forward. Basically, the rundown is this, Ace sucks, Elliott is good but needs some stage presence, and Chris should win as long as he stops cocking his head to one side while he sings. Two weeks ago was country, which I've really tried to block out. Simon didn't like it either, not even Katie Holms, I mean Katharine, and I was right there with him. Kenny Rogers was the guest and Holy Hell, what has he done to his face? His plastic surgeon needs to get beat with a wooden bat, dragged out to the bayou and fed to the gators and then thrown up and burnt at the stake.
Girl... that does not look cute
That week we saw the beautiful Mandisa kicked out. I know, shock right? Not really though. Although when she got into a song she could really blow, the two weeks before she chose the wrong song. The beginnings were all talkie and didn't show off her gift. Plus, that last outfit she wore. Good God that was awful. I have no fear Mandisa will get some sort of recording contract, probably to sing gospel. As personalities go she wasn't my favorite anyway.
I never thought this sweet girl from North Carolina could be this scary
Last week we saw the adorable Bucky booted. My ears bled as I was forced to listen to the remaining 8 sing Queen. I like Queen, I do, but it's a very specific genre, and listening to these people sing it was just awful. I was surprised I didn't want to rip my hair out watching and listening to Paris. She did a great job. Poor Kellie did Bohemian Rhapsody and looked atrocious. Of course Ace sucked. I actually thought Bucky didn't do so bad. The past two weeks I've also tried to vote and it's been busy, for at least an hour after the show goes off. All of the numbers. I just gave up.
Hopefully the next few weeks will be the quick demise of Ace and better songs. What bothers me about this show is they continue to talk about how they're looking for someone to be the next award winning singer, but they force them to sing in genre's that they would never sing if they had a normal recording contract. You wouldn't see Mary J. Blige singing a country song any more then you'd see Trisha Yearwood singing an R&B song. I don't know why I'm so mad at Idol right now. I like the show, I do, but I'm really bored with how pretentious it's gotten. Give me The Amazing Race over Idol any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
