Idol Gives Back
I don’t like the intro this season. I liked that big green stage that looked like a peacock tail.
Is this a new Paula Abdul number? Oh, good it’s just some of the cast from So You Think You Can Dance. They are very impressive dancers. I don’t know about the hot pink spandex tights though. I recognize this song but I don’t know what it is.
I like Syesha’s peacock earrings, but my drama teacher would have a fit if she saw her wearing them in a theater. There’s a theater superstition that peacock feathers are bad luck, and the only time my teacher was ever in a play with them, she broke her back doing a stunt.
Oh my, is Brooke wearing some horrible imitation of overalls?
Nice Exxon Mobil logo at the bottom of the screen. Nothing like a little extra advertising.
Clearly Ryan ignored the producers’ warnings against dancing on stage.
Who’s ever heard of Jimmy Johnson? Obviously a fake name.
I personally think Maria Shriver should hyphenate her name. Wouldn’t Shriver-Schwarzenegger be a cool last name? And doesn’t she have some good stuff to say: Let’s all start believing in hopi prayers, whatever those are, and then we can all be American Idols in someone’s life.
Ben Stiller kind of freaks me out.
Now some hip hop. I’m not even sure which one of these guys is Snoop Dog, if that tells you anything about how much I listen to hip-hop. Nice mic bling. Some of these kids think they’re really cool, don’t they? That one in the middle is putting some funky style into it.
I didn’t realize Paula was dressed as a rooster tonight.
This whole Carrie Underwood thing doesn’t seem staged or anything. Teri Hatcher singing Carrie Underwood should be interesting though. I have to say this is sort of a stiff performance. Is this the whole cast of Desperate Housewives? I like Carrie’s shirt.
Oh, Mary Murphy, please don’t scream. Too late.
Oh, the Jonas Brothers. Maybe they’re here to invite David Archuleta into the band.
I like the blouse on Miley, but is she wearing a black jacket, and brown boots? I think they need more material to fill up 2 and a half hours, because this little scripted exchange between Billy and Miley is dragging on. Oh good, the boots are actually red. The lights are making it hard to tell the difference.
Fergie looks uncomfortable in her leather pants. I’m so sick of this long layered swoopy curled hair style with the stupid bangs. John Legend looks vaguely familiar, but I have no idea who he is.
I have a feeling Heart is an eighties band my parents liked. I like their hair. Fergie’s pants look even sillier without the jacket and skirt. She’s just creeping me out now. The cartwheels are kind of showing off, but still impressive.
Please tell me Celine Dion isn’t going to perform. She’s much more entertaining when she’s playing with kids in
Jimmy Kimmel is making some nice comments about Simon.
Does Irene’s disease affect her eyebrows, or did she do that on purpose? And who names their kid Macho? Not that I don’t feel bad for them and stuff.
I have to say I’d rather hear Carrie sing her songs than Teri Hatcher. I’m not really a huge fan though. Country isn’t my thing. She looks good tonight, and I really like her dress, except the color is a little too close to skin tone.
Has anyone else ever noticed that Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t have eyebrows?
Gloria Estefan should get better hair. I need to vent a little about ballroom dance costumes. Are they always in neon colors to make the fake tans stand out even more? And why do they show so much skin? Hmmm…You’d think the drummer would’ve checked to make sure her drums weren’t going to fall apart before she went on stage.
Reese Weatherspoon’s dress is ugly. I can’t say I’ve ever heard a name quite like Calviniqua or seen hair quite like her mom’s. I hate to hear about 4 year olds committing suicide.
The top eight’s performance is just aw’ight for me. Wrong song choice. And I don’t really like choirs. Why is Kristy holding the mic so far to the side? I won’t critique their outfits, since they’re wearing all wearing t-shirts for charities.
I have no idea who Dane Cook is. Alicia Keys seems to have morals and keep a wholesome image compared a lot of singers. She’s really pretty too, and those cornrows are pretty amazing. Cute little kid dancing.
Miley Cyrus is a pretty big deal these days, hence two performances. Not a big fan of the outfit, but the sequined stuff is kind of her style. These people in
I thought they were actually going to show the Russian Idol. Quite the shirt. I have a friend who is playing a Russian in a play, and I’m thinking maybe he should watch this for some tips. I think they’re letting him go on too long here. The completely stereotypical comments from the judges: Randy says it was pitchy in places; Paula only compliments the shirt of course, Simon thought it was brilliant.
Tyra Banks needs to get a new hairstyle. I especially don’t like the blonde-ish color.
Speaking of bad hair, David Spades’ isn’t great either. Brad Pitt’s stylist clearly missed the memo that he would be digging and building and stuff. The white shirt was not the greatest idea. Oops, he lost his mic. I thought that was Angelina coming to join him for a minute.
