Awesome randomness, random awesomeness!
Ok so I was out for most of Wednesday (presentation early in the morning, lunch with my presentation mates, lecture and then dinner with my secondary school friends before having to trudge up 24 floors worth of stairs because all three lifts servicing my block broke down) so I didn’t get to do this before the results came out. So, since the results are out, I’ll just combine everything into one long entry.
This week: Billboard #1 hits!
Boo for no group song! David Cook really showed why he won two seasons ago. I mean, there isn’t a single guy this year who can match his raw vocal power (much as I love Lee, he’s a pale shadow of him, for now).
Anyway, Spoiler alert!
And…it’s the first live show on the huge stage (and whoa, is it HUGE) this season. What’s with the X-Factor-ish introduction, with the cheesy announcer? Well, this week’s theme is Rolling Stones and, although I thought I didn’t know many of their songs, I saw the performance list tonight and I actually recognise like half of them so woo for me not being a musical doofus!
So, before I ramble on (and I will be prone to that tonight as I’m really tired from having to use my brain a day at school) too much, let’s head to the performances…
Spoilers (duh) for those who haven’t watched the results show.
Last week, I thought the girls improved from their disastrous first week and it actually felt like a real American Idol semifinals ep. Crystal and Siobhan were the clear standouts and Katie Stevens continued her downward spiral to bland obscurity. So, how did they do this week? Let’s find out!
This is hilariously late and, as such, since nobody’s going to read it, probably, I’m going to try to keep it short (although, wiht 240 people, how short can it be?). These are my song-by-song recap of the past two weeks of American Idol performances, the first of which I can only label as probably the worst semi-final in Idol history last week’s shows (tried to do both top 24 and top 20 but it took forever).
Continuing from yesterday’s episode, tonight saw the announcement of the last 17 slots in the top 24.
