Boys Night Out

On another note: American Idol! Lindsay and I were pretty pleased with the guys last night, some of them really stepped it up. Paula was incoherent as usual, and Randy decided to bust out the ol shiny multicolored shirt. What was he thinking? I've forgotten the order so I'm just going to make it up. Rebecca: First is David Archulletta, aka puppy, Little David, fetus, etc. I'm going to call him puppy, although Lindsay would probably argue against that. His preformance was a little weird, I wasn't really digging his suit and he looked a little creepy to me. I'm still a fan, but I think his shtick can get old fast. Simon's right, puppy needs to lighten up a little and not sing songs that are too old for him.
Lindsay: I have finally figured out what creeps me out about him. The way he gasps for air between words/sentences and licks his lips every 5 seconds makes me insane. Also, his interview packages the past two weeks. Something we dont know about him: he sang for Kelly Clarkson and the rest of season 1 finalists and they thought he was amazing. Something embarrassing: He sang for a large crowd in Honduras on some charity mission and forgot the words or ran our of gas or whatever the embarrassing part was. Come on, we know you can sing. Regarding last nights performance...

Rebecca: Luke bores me to death. Although he looks like a cross between McDreamy and Orlando (McDrando?), that's not enough to make up for his lame song choices, and yes, Simon was right, a girly voice.
Lindsay: I wanted this lame-o gone in week 1. He has s-u-c-k-e-d it up every week so far, and the only thing he has going for him are is so-called "good looks." Probably one of the worst song choices in the history of American Idol, and I am not exaggerating at all. It's not a bad song in general, but it was just so cheesy and lame.

Rebecca: David H. sang while doing his striptease routine, just kidding, but that would have made it more interesting. He has a good voice, but the song was kinda lame.
Lindsay: David H. actually put a smile on my face when he performed. I hate Celine Dion, but this is one of those songs that for some reason I just love. I've never heard a guy's take on it, but it was actually really refreshing and he just has the most amazing voice and really picked an awesome song to showcase that. And I don't care if he was a stripper, the boy was poor and came from a broken home. You do what you can to get by.
Right. Lindsay wants to see those pics! C’mon Perez I’m counting on you to find them.

Next. Aussie Michael Johns, who revealed to us used to dress up like a kangroo and get beat on by the cool kids, sang Don't you forget about me, which was ok, or in the words of Randy "aiiight". couldn'ta said it better myself. I like looking and hearing him talk more than i like him singing, but i still want him in the top 12.
Lindsay: I think this was his best performance of the top 24.. I liked the song, it was actually the perfect song choice of the night overall because it totally encapsuled the 80's, at least for me, and brought back some memories of some of the best 80's movies that encorporated that song into their soundtracks. I am still waiting for him to blow me away, much like the judges, because it is very clear that he has the talent and the capability. It was also interesting that his story was about dressing like a kangaroo and then Paula commented on how he hopped around on stage (which he so totally does but it is seriously cute) and it just makes me love his Aussie-ness so much more. He shall here on be known as Kanga.

David Cook, rocked his way through a Lionel Richie song. I liked it- he can sing and he knows how to make things current, which is obvi needed in this competish. I still think he's a little weird and hate his hair but he should move on easily.
Lindsay: knocked it out of the park. I really love this guy. I think his quirkiness is cool, and I love that he plays a pretty mean guitar. His voice is probably my favorite of all the guys, i like its slight raspiness and it pretty much just mellows me out.

My favorite right now is definately Jason Castro. I think he' s so cute and I love his vibe. His take on Hallelujah (great song) was simple and affecting. He doesn't have the most powerful voice and I know he messed up on the last note, but I like that he doesn't try too hard and he doesn;t go over the top and he's different. If I had to choose any song from last night to waste money on, i mean buy on itunes, it would def. be Jason's. Just saying.
Lindsay: Jason C. has my vote. If I were one to call in and vote, that is. Like Simon, Hallelujah is one of my favorite songs so when I heard the first notes and recognized it, and immediately fell in love. I like that he took the judges advice and left the guitar at home, but it would have been such a great touch on that song and would have made the performance even better. My favorite part of his performance was how at the end when he went so totally off key and his voice cracked, he knew it and smiled sheepishly. This guy is awesome, plain and simple, and his shyness and surprise when he is complimented rubs me the right way, unlike someone else in this competition who will remain nameless. Your totally dissing on puppy, but its ok I’ll forgive you cause at least we agree on this dude. I also wish that I was on that date with him he talked about in the interview. Just throwing that out there.


Anyway on to Danny, or more appropriately, Daniella. He is funny, but more suited to a reality show or hosting some random VH1 show than singing on American idol. His facial expressions and head movements make his performance seem like a joke.
Lindsay: I seriously thought he was wearning high-heeled sneakers. I kept checking to make sure. I love his "spicyness" and yes his mmmmmmm comment to Ryan was f-ing hilarious, but his flaming homo drama queen act is only going to be entertaining for so long. He has a shot at the top 12 based on his personality, but thats pretty much it.

Jacuzzi closes the show with a another bore snore song. He also has a good voice but his song choices are a little eh. So my picks for elimination are Luke and Danny/Chickeze. Personally I would like to see Danny go before Chicky, although if he does stay he'll probs be voted off next week.
Lindsay: I wish he wouldve been kicked off week 1, but then he kind of rocked it last week. Well, this week he brought me right back to my original feeling of indifference. I don't dislike him, because he actually is talented and has a good voice, but he picks the most snooze worthy songs. It was sung pretty well, but it was so boring and forgettable.


Tonight is the girls, lets hope they don't suck it up like usual.
Lindsay: Out of 8, I'd say I loved 4, hated 3, and liked 1. Who do I think is going home... Luke for sure. If he doesn't, I call mutiny. Second goner is a toss up between Eze and Danny, although I personally think Danny has a better shot because he has so much personality that love him or hate him, you'll definitely remember him. And he has the votefortheworst contingency behind him.... I hope not!!
