Pretty much the only good thing I can say about the whole theferrett mess is that at LEAST I haven't seen anybody refer to it as "Boobgate". Yet.
In other news: Did I seriously just see Alison Janney in the audience at American Idol?
PREPARE FOR VITRIOL
- I don't think Syesha is as bad as everybody else thinks she is, and I think it sucks that the judges pick on her every time with this whole "why do you choose these songs WHO ARE YOU" thing when people like Proud To Be An American didn't get yelled at for their one-note country-fried jingoism. That said, she was off-key by a mile.
- I don't like Jason Castro. But that's fine, because he likes himself quite enough for the both of us (y'all, I still haven't recovered from when he nattered on and on about how cute his own baby pictures were). He limped and whimpered through that song. Also, HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THAT CATS WAS ABOUT CATS WTF
PS to Andrew Lloyd Webber: don't say shit like "i never thought i'd see that song performed by somebody with dreds ... oh and a boy" if you don't want to sound like a racist, clueless moron. Also, go to karaoke in Manchester or something sometime, and you'll probably get to hear your songs sung by boys quite a lot.
- AHAHAHAHA BROOKE YOU SUCK. The fact that she chose that shitty song written for shitty Madonna!Evita pretty much sums up what I think of her and her stupid "adorable" worried singing-face.
- David A ... have I ever mentioned how much I hate when singers throw useless, unnecessary runs into songs in order to substitute for actual human feeling and intonation? Have I also ever mentioned how much it enrages me when audiences lap up that kind of idiotic torturing of a songwriter's work, wrongly perceiving it as some sort of "talent" on the singer's part? I have? Okay, then I won't go into it again.
- Carly was a better Judas than the dude who actually played Judas when I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar last year. I am so glad she chose that instead of All I Ask of You, even if it meant I had to suffer through ALW lecherously going on and on about "Irish eyes" while secretly weeping inside over Sarah Brightman divorcing his ass.
[Aside to fellow Canadians: man, if the kids singing "Everyday People" in that Smarties commercial were on the show, the judges would have to send everybody else home.]
- ALW claims the Phantom is "sophisticated"! ahahahahah! DUDE LIVES IN A SEWER.
David C actually impressed me! I usually find he's a little too Creed and a little too nu-rock, but I was waiting for him to fuck up that big high middle note and he totally didn't. The end was kind of meh, but probably better than the way it is in the original.
Paula sounds exactly like how Carmen Electra played her in that Teen Awards skit. "You ... have a unique style. I ... wish you ... luck."
In conclusion: Happy Earth Day, everybody! We can do all our part by killing Randy Jackson; every time he brays, "Check it out!!!" we lose a square metre of ozone!!!!

The Smarties commercial made me cry a little bit. I DON'T KNOW. I'm blaming it on hormones.

David A needs to just fall off the earth and realize his true destiny of being an inert orbiting body.
The Smarties commercial often makes me cry TOO! I am with you there, sister.
