American Idol 8 - Hollywood Round 3

Aww yea! The suspense is building. Rooms are being setup. People are going.home.

Here we go:

• Adam Labert sang Cher's "Do You Believe." You want to know what I believe, Adam? I'll tel you. First of all, I believe that listening to you was more painful than Cher. I believe you were whiny. I'm sorry, but I didn't like that performance.
• Matt Giraud sang "Georgia on my Mind." - not too shabby, Matty. I think he has a deep soul in his voice and really dug on his rhythm. In fact, I want to call him Kool Kat from now on.
• Jamar Rogers tried to sing "Hey There Deliliah." Don't get me wrong, Jamar is my homeboy, but cousin's gotta bring his GAME if he wants to survive out here. This was not a good song choice for him, nor was it a complimenting rendition.
• Danny Gokey sang "I Hope You Dance." He had me thinking, 'you hope I dance?? ... shiiiit, I hope YOU dance your little way right into my heart!" I think you're AWESOME. I'm going to go ahead and give a little TOP 12 ALERT RIGHT HERE.
  
• Anoop Desai - aka Snoop Dogg - sang "My Pregatative" and it was a pretty good vocal performance, from what little of it we were able to see.
• Jorge Nunez - I was over you last week. You'll be in the room that goes home. C-YA.
• Scott McIntrye - aka Blind Kid - He's good with a piano in front of him and not too bad without one there, either. My roommate thinks he'll get the pity vote and I don't entirely disagree with her. He's good, but not that good. Um, Dear Paula - you didn't get the memo from Seacrest and his high-five incident? HE'S BLIND - Standing Ovation Unnecessary.
• Kendal and Stevie Wright - aka What-I-Think-Claudia-From-the-Babysitter's-Club-Looks-Like: You both were not good. Sianora.
• Lil Rounds - Damn girl, you GOOOOD.
• Kristin McNamara sang "Because of You" and was really good. I loved her going with the flow about Ryan's prank on her, too. She seems chill. I might put her in the Top 24.
• Mishavonna Henson chose to sing a bad song. Over it. Next.
• YESSSS!!! TATIANA NICOLE DEL TORO - this girl is soooo on drugs DRUGS. You know when there are people that are SOOO bad and annoying that you can't even bear to look at them? Right - well, I'm the opposite of that for Tatiana. She's so BAD and annoying, that I cannot get enough of her for some reason. She hasn't struck my "fuck off" bone yet, and I just LOVE to watch her act like she's watching herself on TV. Literally. Love. Her. Shenanigans.
• Alexis Grace, Kenny Hoffpauer - I like ya'll
• Jasmine Murray - Get out of my face
• Joana Paseda, Casey Carlson, Anesha Young, Stephen Fowler - Whatevz. I can take you or leave you
• Norman Mitchel - He's not bad, but I can't take him seriously with his multiple personality disorder. I'm going to start calling him MPD.
• Ann Marie Boskovich - see you on Top 24
• Ju'not Joyner sang "Hey There Deliliah" in what I thought was a so-so performance.
• Kaylan Loyd - First of all, I hate your first name, since it also pertains to Blondie in my previous blog, And you thought Thanksgiving only comes once a year (how many people just picked up on that?) - second of all, you're as White Trash as Blondie in my previous blog, And you thought Thanksgiving came once a year, since you're CHEWING GUM whilst auditioning. Get that shit together. Get out of my face.
• Lenesha Young - I didn't like you in Louisville and I don't like you now. Goodbye.
• Kai Kalama - What are you even DOING here?? David Osmond was let go last week, but YOU'RE here?
• Michael Sarver - you're not bad, but you messed up the lyrics. Not sure how I feel about you, really.

Here's where they get broken up into rooms and the judges do the whole fakeout thing. At this point, I think it would be funnier to have the judges fake out the contestants by saying YES and then really meaning NO -- I mean, after eight years of this bullshit, we all know you're crying wolf.
This also seems like a good point to mention Paula's jewelry yet again. Her necklace? Um, what the HELL was that. We recycle for a REASON Paula - and it's for the betterment of the environment, not for you to construct a necklace out of these resources. C'mon man. And WHO is her stylist?? Rachel Zoe would DIE [insert necessary anti-infringement code here, now that's she's copywrited that phrase]

Room 2 Makes It.
Room 3 Doesn't
Room 1 is Through
Room 4 Makes it.
By the way, why did they go in this stupid order?

Few more thoughts: I'm sad that Jason Castro's hermano was in group three. I would really have liked to hear/see him a bit more.
People are mad Tatiana is through. I get it. You hate her. I, on the other hand, am thrilled.

Tomorrow - Judges Mansion?? WTF is that? Last year, we were in a studio straight off the set of "FlashDance" with the long room, laden with wood floors just begging for someone to run around on it to the tune of "What a Feeling." Now, we're in The Bachelor's pad? I thought we were in a recession?? You're affording to film at a mansion?? Puhlease. Get me out of reality land here, FOX. American Idol is serious shit.

See you tomorrow. After Dodgeball. Yea, that's right. I play dodgeball.
