American Idol 8 - First Two Go Home

I'm not going to post an American Idol recap, since that would be foolish, seeing as how I only watched it yesterday. I will, however, give you my thoughts, as the title of this blog would lead you to imagine I would.

First and foremost, I feel really close to this season's finalists. I think FOX is doing a better job of giving us a "glimpse into their lives" than they have in the past. Though reality show-esque, I appreciate the peep into the living style of these now-11 pimps. Their digs are unreal. Sure, we're suffering from a bad economy, but I'm sure FOX owns that mansion anyway, so it shouldn't really be seen as bragging.
Secondly, I'm ecstatic with who got voted off. Jasmine Murray, you have a great voice, but you still have yet to come into your own. You're only 17, and although Allison Iraheta is a year younger, she already has better stage presence. Personally, I don't think American Idol is the right path for you, but as I said, you have a terrific voice and everything will fall into place throughout your life. Jorge Nunez, you scare me. I'm happy you're gone.

From the group that's left, I'm partial to about half. Here they are, in order, starting with my favorite: Danny Gokey, Matt Giraud, Kris Allen, Anoop Desai, Megan Joy Corkrey, Alexis Grace, Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta. Hmmm, I guess more than half, since this only leaves out, in order, starting with my least favorite: Steve McIntyre, Lil Rounds and Michael Sarvers. I cannot STAND Steve McIntyre and I think people are only voting for him because of his visual impairment. You cannot convince me otherwise. Had anyone else performed as horifically as he did, they would be gone. Hell, Jasmine Murray was better than him. It infuriates me. I'll agree with anyone that Lil and Michael sing well, but I just don't want them to be in the running for the next American Idol -- not good enough.

I definitely think that a male is going to win American Idol this year and I think that Danny and Matt will go pretty far in the competition. There's a lot of rave around Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta, and although I really think they're good, I don't particularly get a good connection vibe.

Paula Abdul is officially on something. It's wonderful to watch her. She had copycat feedback, no doubt thanks to her overdose on pills before the show. At one point, even though it was Simon's "turn" to judge first, he insisted she go, to which she replied, "I wasn't ready to go first." Really Paula?? You're a judge, that's what you do. Who cares when you go? You should have constructive criticism regardless of whether or not it's your turn. That's why they pay you the big bucks. Another thing that pisses me off about her is the contstant accessory alterations. This episode, she changed the wrist from which her blinging dogtag was hanging, thereby flailing around each time she spoke with her hands. Um, Wardrobe, Aisle Nine.

Let it be known that Paula Abdul LITERALLY lives in Halluci Nation. Population: One.

Last night, after all was said and done with three hours of Idol-catch-up, Marissa and I discussed how hot Megan Joy Corkrey is. I believe the best way to describe it is Freakishly Hot. NOTHING about her is unhot. She has great boobs, is absolutely stunning, tall, chipper and all-around mesmerizing to look at. In her photo as a brunette, still hot. Sleeve tattoo all up on her perfect skintone, still hot. We began thinking of things she could do or ways she could be, where a "hot" status would still be appropriate. Collectively, we came up with many. Due to the effects of Sour Diesel, these are the ones I could remember.
Megan Joy Corkery would STILL be hot, even if she:
  • Had flourescent pink hair
  • Had Tattoos on face
  • Wore a garbage bag on stage
  • Had Boogers coming out of her nose
  • Got sick on stage and vomitted
  • Got sick on stage and vomitted while pooping her pants
Clearly, I have a girl crush. But not the "I want to do her" crush like I have with Angelina Jolie. No, I want to BE this girl.

And those, America, are my thoughts.

Z-Crest...OUT.

  1. Even if she got sick on stage and vomited while pooping her pants? Z, just say no to that Sour Diesel, it's gettin' to you man. Just send it to me, I'll make sure it's properly "disposed" of, yeah that's it. :>
