American Idol 8 - Wild Card Show

"Tonight...the last three places will be filled. " .... and tonight, I'm writing AS I'm watching and not editing. Sorry.

What in the eff is Paula wearing?? Flourescent colored cheetah print with a matching pink scarf.

Jessie sings Tell Me Something Good. At first glance, she appears to be quite edgy with her fashion. After hearing her sing, I think she's imagining herself on a karaoke stage, after having had 9 tequila shots

Matt Giraud sings When I Have You and does a really great job. He's sexy, soulful and I want to get up and grind him. I'm literally picturing myself as his future backup dancer. [Insert Justin Timberlake's HBO Special Here] He NEEDS to make it. Ooooh Kara just compared him to JT!

Meagan Corkrey singing Black Horse and the Cherry Tree a favorite of mine. She has a nice tune to her voice, but I think she doesn't open her mouth and project her voice. What is with her shimmy?? I think she's gorgeous and needs to be a model, not a singer. Simon thinks she's current. He just wants to bone her. He says "wasn't the best vocal, but it was perfect." Is that not contradictory?

Von Smith is lame. I really can't take him, actually. He's singing ---- wait, what is he doing? This is terrible. I don't even know what song he's "signing." I actually feel SORRY for him. If I was one of the contestants who didn't get a wild card over this guy, I would be throwing TV's against my hotel room walls right now. This guy wouldn't have been good enough to make it into the Fair Lawn High School musicals, and believe me, they are really well-produced. I absolutely HATE him and he shouldn't have even been a Wild Card. I'm raging. Also, what is Paula talking about?

Jasmine Murray sings Reflection by Christina Aguilera. Didn't they tell her to sing Rhianna? Why is she singing a jam that would only be cool on the Disney float during the Thanksgiving Day Parade? Look, she has a great voice, don't get me wrong -- but song choice is a very big deal, and this just is not the right one.

Why is Paula's scarf tied differently in after each contestant?

Ricky Braddy fits into skinnier jeans better than I ever would. Singing Superstition, he appears to have climbed out of the slums of Williamsburg. Though his voice is not terrible, his "look" is not something I'm a huge fan of. The judges are praising him, aside from Simon - with whom I always agree, so ...

Wow, Ryan is SO tan next to Ricky.

TATIANA DEL TORO!!!!!! Her Video is Amazing. She's singing Saving All My Love For You by Whitney Houston. She does an amazing job. I can't tell you guys how much I like this girl. With a makeover and a little media training from Jocelin Martinez, this girl could be really good. Wait, she needs to a. shut up and b. NOT try and get the Jorge-Puerto-Rican vote. Why is she going back and forth with the judges. She's somone I can't figure out. Also, is FOX using Tatiana to make people watch the Wild Card show?

Anoop Dogg!!!!! He calls himself Noop Dogg!!! I'm giddy. He's singing My Pregogative. The crowd is going crazy for him! And, it's not just the song - it's like HIM. Aw, Kumar! I have a huge smile on my face. My roommate Alison is actually really upset he didn't sing Jai Ho, since it's extremely current. Noop Dogg's parents are adorbs.

Simon talks about "Casting" the top 12, and it's interesting how they are thinking -- it's not always ONLY about your voice. Your personality and persona has a huge influence on a GOOD season.

JUDGES DECISIONS JUDGES DECISIONS JUDGES DECISIONS

Jasmine Murray MAKES it through! This is not the way I wanted it.

Ricky Braddy DOESN'T make it through. This IS the way I wanted it.

Megan and Tatiana are head to head. Megan MAKES it through and cannot even congratulate Megan. She then goes to pray to the judge's shrine.

Right now, I'm upset because it's going to between Anoop and Justin Timberlake and the truth is, I wanted them to BOTH TO MAKE IT ------OOOOMMMMGGGGGGG MY DVR JUST CUT OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. wait wait wait this is LIVE --- Jillian Riegger just told me that Matt Giraud makes it through but they make it a TOP 13 AND TAKE BOTH!!!!! I just screamed out loud with glee.

I'm going to bed happy. Wait, am I for real right now?
