American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 7… Round 2.

A M E R I C A N I D O L . Here. We. Go!

Ryan recaps Matt’s survival on last week’s elimination, and reminds us that two are going home. With flames a plenty in the background, we zoom in on Ryan’s mug and “THIS… is American Idol!” Huzzah!

Ryan is on the stage in an extremely snappy suit. He’s lookin’ sharp and recapping all the crap he just recapped before the opening credits. He welcomes the judges, who all look like regular people tonight, and says hi to our top 7. Here they all come, looking chipper and ready for action.  Continue reading →

Here we are. Same beginning, same Seacrest. Sounds like we’re doing “Music From the Movies” and Quentin Tarantino is our guest judge (he even says, “This… is American Idol).” How bad do I hope that somebody gets up there and whistles that haunting nurse whistle from Kill Bill Vol.1?  Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 8 live music

Okay, we’re opening just like we open every week. Ryan is telling us how the fate of the world is resting squarely on our shoulders, we pan the stoic faces of the final 8 contestants, and “THIS…. Is American Idol.”

Ryan talks about the jam-packed week we have before us (tonight’s show is only an hour long… thank goodness) and tells us our theme: “Songs that were popular the year you were born.” Hooray! Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 9 ELIMINATION

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 9 ELIMINATION tv shows

Alright Idol peeps. It’s time to jettison another contestant. From last night’s comments, the PMA consensus seems to think Megan is gonna be our sacrificial lamb, which I’m okay with. A few weeks ago, I woulda been bangin’ the drum for Scott to be on the outs, but Megan has just been too inconsistent and too snotty for me to care about anymore. At any rate, here we go.

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 9

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 9 live music

Welcome back Idol fans. We’re down to the bottom 9, and right on cue, Ryan begins his introductory speech. As he speaks, the camera pans across the contestants and we’re treated to Scott’s hair who is doing what his pink pants did last week: Make him look insane. Allison looks like she and Scott started sharing hair people and her hair is doing its best Flock of Seagulls impression. Anoop has this crazy chain thing wrapping down his arm through a lapel on his shoulder, and I’m trying to figure out if that’s his rosary or maybe his wallet is attached. Anyway, the judges are announced, walk through the giant gate in the front of the stage (Paula is not wearing a tutu tonight, but she is still wearing a pink cocktail dress that looks like it was made for a 16 year old. Here we go! We’re on to the final 9! Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 10 ELIMINATION

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 10 ELIMINATION music

So, last night was a pretty good show. And we’re back to make the people who didn’t make it great suffer (heads up Sarver).

Ryan comes storming down the stairs and tells us that 36 million votes came in (the most in any top 10 ever). He tells us that Ruben Studdard is here tonight and that Smokey is gonna perform.

Ryan introduces the judges, and throws a zinger at Kara saying, “I’ve got 3 words for you, Kara Dio… Guardi.” HA! It’s a bad joke that Kara doesn’t seem to get, but it doesn’t matter since the awkwardness is drown out by Randy’s lame booing of Simon (which was only sort of funny the very first time he did it). Seacrest reminds us about the judges save, which we all know they aren’t going to use (especially if Sarver’s last man standing). They cut to a video, and we get inundated with a rerun of last night’s performances. Continue reading →

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 10

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 10 live performances

Alright Idol fans. It’s that time of the week. President Obama may have harshed the A.I. flow last night, but we’re ready to go tonight. This… is American Idol Recap (think of it the way Ryan says it).

The idols are lined up and there are all sorts of backlights shining. Ryan tells us that these guys are the most talked about singers in the nation, but that may be a little hyperbolic for my taste. Either way, we’re introduced and on our way. Thanks Seacrest!

The judges come out from behind the stage, and… WHAT IS PAULA WEARING? It’s 50% prom dress, 50% tutu, 100% strange. No wonder she loves Adam so much (they shop in the same stores). Conversely, Randy looks like he opened his closet, picked his favorite sweater, and was ready to roll. Continue reading →
