Don’t get me wrong. I am a huge fan of Dolly Parton. There are few people in the music industry to stay relevant as long as she has and she has contributed more to music than a lot of people recognize. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like her music translated well to American Idol last night.
The favorites were good and the mediocre were mediocre. My man, David Cook did well considering he had to transform Dolly into rock…and honestly, the performances of the night for me were David Archuleta (admittedly, I was disappointed when he did so well) and Michael Johns.
Its hard to say who will go at this point. Of course, I am hoping for Ramiele to get the screws put to her, but America keeps surprising me. Kristy Lee Cook could have taken better advantage of a country genre week, in my option. Brooke White rushed Jolene too much. Syesha and Jason Castro were pretty boring. Carly actually did well and sounded pretty, but Simon was right - who dressed her this week? Did she come straight from tending bar?
All in all, I was pretty disappointed this week. I know it was a tough theme but still, I was hoping for some killer performances that we get 2-3 of each week. I guess David Cook can’t be sheer perfection every week. Again, I hope it’s Ramiele. She is the least talented of the group. Her and Kristy Lee. America…I hope you did the right thing. It’d be a real shame if I had to kick everyone’s ass in America, one at a time. I am a busy, important lady and that would take a long ass time.
NOTE: David Cook was rushed to the hospital last night with heart palpitations. Word is that my soulmate…I mean uh, Cook, is fine now. I think he shouldn’t be looking at pictures of me. That tends to do it to the guys.
Man, Michale Johns sounded fantastic last night. Did you hear that poor DAvid is worried so much because his brother is rather sick. Poor thing!
