More like Yoko Ono, I’d say, for Adam’s screaming on Idol! And I miss the Spock/Diamond look.
Seems like the contenders are now Kris, Adam, Danny, Allison, and maybe Scott. (Although I was not as impressed with Danny as the crowd and judges were.)
Matt, Lil, and Anoop are blowing it. I’m sorry, but Megan sounded like a goat–where’s the old vaudeville hook? And Lil looked like Oprah’s friend Gayle King.
Ah, Megan . . . Megan. Poor thing on American Idol had to live up to this performance:
about those haystacks. I bet Phillip Fulmer could learn to yodel like Franzl Lang! And what would Adam Lambert do with “Einen Jodler hör i gern”?
I’m glad to know that I’m a “dipstick” by Samford association.
In case anyone knows not of what I’m referring, click HERE.
Was that Randy Travis or Lyle Lovat with bleached teeth? (Randy Travis should give master classes somewhere like Belmont University; he had some good advice.)
As another AI week grinds on: Anoop scrambled up a rung, Scott down. Danny still hasn’t quite pulled it together, but I would like to hear more (one week, I’ll be tired of writing that). Megan’s still on Lawrence Welk. And then we come to . . .
Adam “Spock/Diamond” Lambert. As Joey Lawrence would say, “Whoa!” “Arab Dance” from Nutcracker meets June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore (“Ring” co-authors) with Starlight Express and jazz hands thrown in?
All ho hum, really. Do I have to say it? They’re making last year’s winner look like a genius!
We seem to have four groups:
Nice Guys: Scott, Danny, Michael
Heart Throbs: Kris, Matt, Adam
The Girls: Lil, Allison, Megan, Alexis
Thank You (Bye, I’ve heard enough): Jasmine, Anoop, Jorge
Was Lil best, perhaps? I actually liked “Rockin’ Robin” Megan (I was expecting Mary Lou Retton to do a tumbling run in the background during that). And it pains me to say that I like Adam, a little bit (even if his voice has the sound of crumpling cellophane when he pushes it)–hard to image him doing slow ballads, though.
Oh, Kris looks like Archie + Michael Johns.
that must be it, for AI to have gone stark raving wild-card nuts?!?!?
I can see the rationale behind Megan and Matt, I suppose. Ricky Braddy got the shaft, again. Von blew it. Jasmine and Anoop–I just don’t get it.
And Matt . . . David Cook has the sense to only wear that hat out in public, not on stage! Please cease and desist.
When enthusiasm raises our hackles, up-jump we swift from life’s tackles.
–CAP’N WHOOK
Was it just me, or were most of performances that the judges were ecstatic about not so good?
As far as singing, voices, and performances go, maybe it should be No. 1 Von Smith, No. 6 Kristen McNamara, and No. 10 Kendall Beard.
But, I think the public will vote No. 12 Lil Rounds, No. 11 Jorge Nunez, and No. 9 Scott McIntyre. No. 8 Felicia Barton (the “scandal sub”) will probably be a wild card.
Oh, Scott McIntyre looks like Barry Williams (Greg Brady) + William Katt (Greatest American Hero)!
The Dashboard on Apple computers will give a translation for user-supplied sentences. If you know anything about French, the one that follows is a nightmare.
He took the floor to say, “Tomorrow evening I will have boiled water to make my old former teacher an egg to serve with beef for lunch after playing the piano, playing tennis, and finding a water closet.”
And it comes out (not quite correctly, but close enough) as . . .
Il a pris la parole pour dire, « demain soir j’aura bouilli l’eau pour faire à mon vieil ancien professeur un oeuf au service avec du boeuf pour le déjeuner après avoir joué le piano, avoir joué au tennis, et la conclusion d’un cabinet d’aisance. »
If only I had had this 30 years ago in junior high . . .
Wonder how it does with German for something like the following?
Let every goal be a lump of coal firing the locomotive pulling your personal train of success.
