Now, if I could vote someone out, absolutely.

I've always thought that would be an interesting twist to the show. If you think Paris sucks vote 1-888-you-suck, if you hate Bucky 1-888-you-blow, Eliott 1-888-8go-home, Mandisa 1-888-get-lost, etc...

Kellie Pickler goes to the prom....

 

...as a stripper?

 

OK, she had me fooled with the "gosh, ahm jus' a simple girl from da country" crap early on but now I'm thinking she's just a ho from the middle of nowhere.

I'm not sure what's weirder...you finding and posting that site....someone actually caring enough about AI to make that site...or Kelly Pickler (or anyone for that matter) wearing THAT as a prom dress. (Or me making even ANOTHER post in a thread about a show I don't watch no matter what Rico thinks.)

 

She looks fine in it but...that is NOT a prom dress...is it?

[Rico]

Another week with no spazzing from Hicks.

He should've done A Boy Named Sue.

[Rico]

Country Night sure sucked... don't think it'll be getting much better any time soon, cause Queen night is coming up.

YOu know, I'm not the biggest fan of Country....but I KNOW there is better stuff to sing that that sh-- they were belting out tonight. To me the whole night can be summed up by Bucky's performance. In the video clip, you see Kenny 'beatin' my wife right now, call me back later' Rogers telling Bucky to OVER annunciate his words since people may not be familiar with the song. So out comes Bucky, all dramatic from offstage, and I don't understand a FRICKIN thing he's sayin'. Man that sucked.....McPhee kicked some butt on a REALLY weird and annoying song, and Daughtry proved he could do something other than just rock out. Overall I thought they really dropped the ball tonight.

 

As for Queen night, I hope somebody deserving gets 'Bohemian Rhapsody'......thank God Covais is outta there, lol.

The keith urban songs did him a terrible injustice. Me and the girl saw him in concert last month, and he was phenomenal (shes got as big a crush on him as i do on carrie underwood). The guy is an absolute rocker, and a hell of a guitarist. At the end of his show(it was the last tour stop), he played some classic rock songs for almost an hour, and he did a superb job on the guitar. I was amazed at his talent, because you dont see that too often anymore. He's a true musician. What those losers did to his songs tonite didnt do him any justice.

 

Pickler tried to come off as miss innocent country girl, like underwood, but kellie just seems to me like shes a trailer trash ho who made it big. That being said, i'd still do her nasty.

yeah, I agree....they're actually playing Keith Urban on like three different radio stations down here....he's got some sick talent for sure. And I'd split Pickler like a piece of wet lumber if given the chance too, but wow is she getting annoying......

My Bottom 3 predictions: Bucky, Elliott, Mandisa

 

Eliminated: Bucky

 

I can't believe that I am giving Ace a pass this week, but I have to admit he was better than he usually is.

 

Bucky was just forgettable, and his time is up.

 

Elliott to me is just above average, and I think his time will be coming soon too.

 

Mandisa was not strong but will still be in the show. Watching her shake it like she did tonight was a bit disturbing. Especially when in your mind it should be Shania Twain up there singing that song and putting her moves to it.

Morning, Sweetie!!

 

Taylor did not do well last night. No heart. No emotion. Just going through the motions.

 

Bucky should have shined last night, but failed miserably. KR specifically mentioned that he needed to enunciate. Kristy and I spend the entire song saying, "what the hell did he just say?"

 

Elliot was similar to Taylor. The emotion and feeling was just not there. Not good.

 

Picker should be alive for another week. Mandisa will be around because others sucked worse than she did. Ace did OK. Katherine did well, but the "showmanship" was a little staged and annoyed me. Paris was OK. I think Chris was the best of the bunch last night.

[LabattBlue]

Bottom 3...Bucky, Mandisa & Ace. In a surprise move, Ace goes home. He is a one trick pony. The same syrupy sweet ballads can only take you so far.

As long as Ace or Bucky go home, I'm happy....neither is going to win, and both are less talented than the rest of the lot. Buh-bye.

[Rico]

Ace's falsetto isn't going anywhere until the week after Queen night.

and Bucky & Pickler are safe after Country night.

Time to make some new faces sweat.

 

Chris won't be bottom 3 yet, & they made Katherine McFunbags sweat last week.

My man Spazz may have been the worst one of all yesterday, just horrible, but I don't think he's bottom 3 this week either... still too funny to leave.

 

That leaves Tootie, Mandisa, and Elliott standing out there tonight.

Tootie because her sorry ass deserves it, Mandisa because she sure didn't look like an Idol last night (i.e. HUGE), and Elliott.

And Snaggletooth Elliott gets sent home.

[bobblehead]

Are you f-ing serious? Queen night?

 

 

Is Ace going to wear a spiked leather strap on his arm? I'm surprised he hasn't already.

 

It's a shame that Kevin is gone, cuz I would totally peg him as the guy that would drill sailors in the dressing room after the show. (rock myth alert)

 

Queen night has the potential of putting Mandisa in quite an embarassing situation, If you catch my drift.

 

Also, I noticed that Ryan has been giving Pickler zero face time after the performance the last couple of weeks. Must be the dumbass bit got old on him real quick.

Idol followed up last week’s colossally terrible hour of TV by curling out another steamer this week. What did they expect when they caved into corporate interests and killed off The Most Dangerous and Complex Contestant this show has ever had on two weeks ago? Add in the fact that my wife abandoned me and Idol this week for the pop-culture rope-a-dope of The Gilmore Girls, and AI was going to have to really bust out the big guns to get me interested last night.

 

So imagine my horror when the featured country artist turned out to be Kenny Rogers? What!?!?! The Fried Chicken guy?!? The guy who played Brewster Baker in the movie Six Pack?!?!….Spoiler Alert via Wiki….

Stopping in a small Texas town, race car driver Brewster Baker stops at a local diner to eat. He sees someone stealing his parts from his race car. He chases after their van. The van goes into a river. Brewster discovers the victims are just kids. He saves the youngest, who was trapped. Later, he discovers they are orphans. The kids are stealing auto parts for a local corrupt sheriff, who throws Brewster into jail because of speeding and not tipping the waitress at the diner. The kids help get Brewster out of jail. Brewster reluctently takes the kids along and later they form a friendship and bond. The kids become his mechanics because of their great mechanical skills.

As expected, he offered little useful help, and the suggestions that did come out of his mouth were totally ignored by the contestants who were wondering who this homeless man was that smelled like fried chicken.

 

Taylor Hicks:

He’s done. Last week wasn’t an aberration. The Old Shoe Patrol (let that one simmer in your brain for a few minutes, return, and then laugh your ass off at the genius of it) was a one-trick epileptic pony. No jumping around like an idiot means you have to have some other talent, like singing (ahhhh, nope), or looks (ahhhh, nope), or charisma (ahhh, nope).

A horrible, horrible start to the show. (Wife laughing out loud in the other room while watching another show)

 

Mandisa:

If you’re slightly overweight (and who couldn’t stand to lose a few pounds) there is only one thing worse than wearing horizontal stripes on a light-colored blouse…and that’s wearing horizontal zig-zag stripes on a light-colored blouse. The way it clung to her boobs combined with the horizontal pattern and her gyrating around on stage made it look like two giant bulging eyes blinking and threatening to explode out of their sockets. I was reminded of those fat drunk guys who paint faces on their bare torsos and run around in giant hats, only in this case it was one butt-ugly hat with fake eyebrows. She’s probably safe, but I’ll never be the same.

 

Elliot:

Another dull performance, more praise from the judges. What are they hearing that I’m not? Are all the dentists in America watching this show and stabbing at their cell phones keeping him on TV? I never made a dime in the music business after years of rolling around in broken glass, and to think all I had to do was stop brushing my teeth. If I knew then what I know now….

(My wife is laughing at another pop-culture reference in the other room)

 

Paris:

Little miss hair extensions went with a bob this week. She totally nailed her song just to spite me, and I loath her for it. Best line of the night from Simon…. “She reminds me of a young Dionne Warwick!” Silence and scattered golf claps from the teenagers in the AI audience. Uproarious laughter from the jaded viewer watching on a spare TV in the office. He might as well have called her a young Anita O'Day.

 

Ace:

Looks but no talent earns another trip to the bottom three. More worried shrieks from teenage girls and used up, manic-depressive, alcoholic, pill-popping dance choreographers. He did enough pouting to get through another week, though.

 

Pickler:

Another shameless attempt by FOX and AI to rehab the image of one of their contestants. It’s too late, because the bag is already over the head of that cat. Sixty percent of the respondents in an US weekly poll (I read it for the articles) think Pickler is faking it. But that’s not an altogether bad talent to have for where she’s going to end up… “You’re in the bottom three.” Get used to hearing that phrase, La Chica Estúpida.

 

Chris Daughtry:

He sang so soft you could almost hear Bo Bice cackling from beyond the grave. You stayed a week to long, buddy. Welcome to hell.

 

Katherine:

I loved every minute of it. How about you?

 

Bucky:

YESSSS! I was looking forward to this performance for six freaking days (writer’s embellishment). This was theeee night for Bucky Covington! The rest of these hacks didn’t know a damn thing about country music. Bucky’s been painting cars, training in honkey-tonks, drinking unflouridated water, all leading up to this…the moment that he was put on this earth for! What song would he pick?!? What would he wear!?! How much solid ass would he kick!?!?! Like this review, the show has completely sucked up until this moment. But the kid from North Carolina, who may or may not be speaking English, was going to bring the freaking house down!! (Me shouting into the other room: “Bucky’s up next!!!” Wife shouting back from the other room: “Who cares.”)

 

Whoa….Bucky comes out singing a ballad in Cantonese, with a stupid grin on his face. What a total and complete let-down. I sat through that tepid hour of entertainment for absolutely nothing, much like you just did in reading this horrible piece of journalism.

 

So who gets the boot tonight?

Bottom three…Ace, Bucky, and I’ll go out on a limb and say Taylor. Bucky’s gone.

Again, I got 2 out of 3 and again, I was wrong on the elimination.

 

I certainly did not think Mandisa would get eliminated before Ace & Bucky.

 

It looked like Katharine was going to McPhaint again. She looked terrified. Hey, can you blame her? She was in the same group as Ace & Bucky. However all is right this time and she was not in the bottom 3.

 

My current standings:

 

1.Katharine

2.Chris
