miamisammy29 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 They completely butchered some of the greatest tunes ever written. The only one that even sounded somewhat decent was that Chaccuzzi dude with "She's A Woman". Oh man, I can't wait for baseball season to start! In my best Paul McCartney voice.... Blimey, John sure is lucky; HE's dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 We always forget that it's the performance of the song that counts. Of course it was a "butcher the song fest", how could it not be? It's Beatles songs! I think these themed nights of strictly one artist sets all the players up for people to just hate them. For me, Chekezie/Chacuzzi absolutely owned the night. The arrangement of the song was brilliant, just the right amount of "changing it up" and the guy was downright joyful in his singing of it. Jason, the guy with the dreads was ok... sort of. He's set himself up as the Heartthrob, and he did pretty well with that. I want to know what the weird thing is that he did with his mouth though, each time he went into falsetto. It looked as though he was having some sort of small seizure each time. "Eleanor Rigby" sounded as though it was being done by a Billy Idol impersonator. The judges liked it, and I guess thinking of it as a performance, it was ok. Brooke, on the piano with "Let It Be" was pretty good I thought. That's such a melodic song, that if you have a good voice (and her's ain't bad) it's hard to mess it up too much. Performance wise, the tears were a nice touch. Everyone else sucked, royally.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I watched a bit of the clips...OMG!! I just cringed, what a nightmare. They should not have sang Beatles tunes, no one should for that matter but wannabe singers??? It scared me basically!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Not only does the dreadlocks-dude look like John Travolta with a wig, he has the same voice. Holy crap, John Travolta is so desperate to revive his career, he's entered American Idol with a wig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I hate watching Amanda. She's no expression on her face. Ever. And she sings with an almost-closed mouth. It's disturbing. I have formed a grudging respect for David Cook. But my favorite is still Brooke. I hope she goes far with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I don't like the way David Hernandez raises the one eyebrow... David Cook is alright, but I don't like that one lock of hair that curls on the side of his face..and his hair looks like it has major static cling....

Shawna Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 and his hair looks like it has major static cling.... I think this is yet another case of closeted male pattern baldness. He's combing over already, and it looks like a plaster cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 More Beatles this week. David A brought it strong, and Brooke will probably get a free pass based on last week. Maybe the end of Kristy Lee? Here were the tunes: Amanda: Back In The U.S.S.R. Kristy Lee Cook: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away David A: The Long and Winding Road Michael Johns: A Day In The Life Brooke: Here Comes The Sun David C: Day Tripper Carly: Blackbird Jason: Michelle Syesha: Yesterday Chikeze: I've Just Seen a Face Ramiele: I Should Have Known Better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I missed the first half. If it was as bad as the second, I didn't miss much. They should have left the Beatles songs alone. A second week was overkill. I thought they were all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Of course they vote off the rocker chick I just read on the internet...this show just sucks! They'll pick a pop-tart or no talent wanna-be....AGAIN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 They did The Beatles again?!? AND they voted off the rocker chick? I'm glad I'm not keeping up with it this year. If they vote off the pretty boy with dreads, it'll be a worthless season. How'd he do by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I will say that I am slightly disappointed with seeing the gruff chick with the oddly colored hair being whacked so early. I think she could have wowwed the crowd (and the judges) with a wicked cool version of "Mercedes Benz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Kristy Lee found the song she'll be singing at state fairs next year, and David C had his biggest moment. Here are the American Idol songs from Tuesday. Ramiele: Alone - Heart Jason: Fragile - Sting Syesha: If I Were Your Woman - Gladys Knight & The Pips Chikezie: If Only for One Night (Patti Labelle and Luther Vandross) Brooke: Every Breath You Take - The Police Michael: We Will Rock You + We Are The Champions - Queen Carly: Total Eclipse Of The Heart - Bonnie Tyler David A: You're the Voice (John Farnham, covered by David Foster with vocalist Jeff Pescetto in 1990) Kristy Lee: God Bless The USA - Lee Greenwood David C: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Not sure who's going home this time, but I don't think Carly has a lot of support.

Elvish Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Wow! David C performed the hell outta that song Looks like our Missouri boy is doing good I only watched his, Chikezie's, and Jason's performances on You Tube - should I bother to look up anyone else?
