I did watch the whole show last night, I just didn't feel like live blogging since I watched it so late, so here are my thoughts the morning after.
Allison bugs me. I wish she wouldn't talk.
I like how Ryan emphasized that the finalists would be chosen in random order. My ass. They just weren't presented in order of most votes to least. They were clearly presented in the order that would create the most sensation. First, Kris is safe. "What?! OMG! How can that be! Those other three should be the top three." Blah, blah, blah. I totally called it right before Ryan said it.
"Well, surely the gay one will go home then since this is a popularity contest." Not so, Grandma. Adam was safe, too! "What?! OMG! How can that be! Those other two should be the top two." Blah, blah, blah.
With just those two left, I first said, "I hope Allison goes home." Then, "No, Danny." Then, "No, Allison." Then, "I can't decide which of those two I like the least." Allison it was. The least liked contestant by me and the rest of the country.
Next week, the finalists sing two songs each. They'll sing one chosen by the judges and one they choose for themselves. I am about 100 times more interested in what the judges are going to choose than I am in what the finalists are going to choose.
Speaking of singing, there was some of that last night, too. Paula sang. I posted this on Twitter yesterday, "Does anyone else feel weird about Paula Abdul singing her new song on American Idol tonight? I feel strangely nervous for her." I don't know what I was imagining, but it wasn't nearly as bad as that. The singing was that stupid electronic voice crap that I hate, but the dancing was straight up (ha) Paula Abdul. She didn't embarrass herself.
No Doubt also sang. Apparently they are going on tour even though they don't have a new album out. The tour is supposed to inspire some new songs. I am not sure I have heard them live before. Do not like. They even sang one of my favorite No Doubt songs.
Daughtry was the last to sing. I actually liked them. About 30 seconds before the end of the song, the husband said, "Ok, I am totally bored by this now." It was really samey.
So, that's it. More AI posts next week, of course. And, in the meantime, I am actually going to an opinion about a couple other things on this blog!
