the grand finale of Idol performances and it just kind of (yawn)...
first, there were the repeat performances.
why?
why on earth, after (a) America and the judges have already given their opinions on the songs long ago, (b) it is the year 2009 and there are a freakin' gazillion crazy wild songs out there to chose from, and (c) with these two guys being as awesomely talented as they are at song choices and interpretations there of, would they ask them for a repeat performance, hmm??
why wouldn't they ask the contestants to pick their all time favourite song and do that instead?
a further glimpse into who they are, what they're capable of, and what we might expect to see on an album.
I'm just saying!
then there were the songs chosen by Simon. not Simon Simon, the other Simon.
I thought they were both ok, but just ok. no fault of the boys though.
both contestants did a great job on their songs, regardless of what the judges said, which brings me to what the judges said.
lol, this is rich.
"didn't like the songs. they weren't lively enough or good enough for this level of competition."
...bah, hahaha, you're kidding... right?
certainly they must realize they had no choice in the matter. that the songs had been hand picked... by a television producer. (a businessman, but I'm sure he's very musical)
I suppose someone had to crash and burn once the blunder was exposed.
and who's gonna bite the hand that feeds them.
last but certainly not least, the dismal DioGuardi song.
next to letting Paula get up on stage and lip sync her new single, that was one of the lamest things Idol has ever done.
poor Kris and Adam.
it wasn't right for either of them, the judges concurred. hmm, and yet somehow...
even Kara's face read clear the unsettling drudgery of the oversight, droning home the element of confusion that clung like hair to a glue ball over the night.
the boys must have been laughing their heads off when they heard that song for the first time.
that's probably where Kris' comment of Adam and him deciding "it wouldn't be a competition tonight, and instead, a great performance" came from.
"well, there's not much we're going to be able to do with this one" (high five)
after tonight, I really don't care much who wins. I love them both, and I think they both deserve record deals.
so, with that, I'm hoping that Kris wins tomorrow.
not because I think he's a better singer, but for this:
if humble, quiet Kris wins, he'll get an Idol record deal and have an entire entourage of people helping him through the transition to stardom.
He'll need that.
And there will be no doubt in my mind that someone will sign Adam as well, immediately, if Simon Cowell doesn't get to him first. Adam just stands out that much.
now if Adam wins, I'm not 100% sure that would work the same way for Kris. it should, and it'd be insane if it didn't, but I think there would be a good chance he'd get lost, like so many Idols in the past regardless of their awesome talent.
I'd like an opportunity to buy both their albums.
moot or hooey?
American Idol is going to let Alexis Grace go one tour with the others.
