"AI 10 Top 2 Performance ECST" |
No I'm not crazy, it is on Tuesday this week. Gotta get the Finally in before sweeps ends after all!!!You got changes to the PTTE, get them in before the deadline! So who will win the ratings battle? Lauren vs Scotty or a rerun of last night's DWTS? Gotta give it up to the DWTS band, they tried to make the music so bad that AI's final 2 will seem a-maze-ing by comparison. Way to help the people in the sound stage across the way! Scotty won the coin toss but let Lauren pick, so he goes first. We've got Thunderstorms and Tornado warnings in the area, and at least some of the time they will let live TV actually air, and since one of them is an NC boy they may decide not to peeve off all the people with shotguns in the pickup truck ready to go.

21. "Judges comments" |
R. America did a fine job choosing. So hard, so even, dude they are both incredible. Scotty your reprisal of Gone great, George Strait, I think Round 1 sounded good, Pam Tillis, I love that too.Round 1 slight edge to Scotty
Round 2 slight edge to Lauren. J. Thought the same thing such an explosive start from both of you. Gone best way to start the show. Flat on the floor, attacked it, crazy. Second song for Scotty not as dynamic, Go with Randy on the Round 1 and 2. S. I'd like to say if you sang that better you might be in the finales but you are already here. Gives Lauren Round 1 and 2 because she is prettier. R. They are both in it to win it. And there goes 1/2 the audience from alcohol poisoning.

I completely agree about the crossover - he could be a new Toby Keith. Although he has to get a whole bigger and a whole lot manlier (sd?). I'm fairly certain I could help him along.

Piano on stage with other instruments. R. Wow man marveling in the fact two youngest finalists both country. The range was great, sung low and high, you are in it to win it. Game time. Dude I am proud of you. Brilliant vocal. J. It really was, a story teller, have to do that, when singing a new song, amazing job. S. Come a long way. We were worried about that range, you can make a three point shot you nailed it again.

Walks out with help of Ryan down the stairs to sing in her Mom's face.Why did the camera shake? She's in tears Mom is in tears. R. I gotta give some mad props to Jimmy, get song, ode to your mom, love that support, love how at the end it is the Lauren we came to love in Nashville. Has arrived. Stands up and claps and says amazing over and over. J. Very tight race, you may have just won, that was beautiful. Perfect for you. Everything it needed to be. Heart, emotion, feeling. S. Mom's are the bedrock, gave it up to your Mom like that. I thought you were my American Idol when we first saw you think America will see it too.

Honestly, I don't think J LO was very happy pimping Lauren. Lauren didn't seem very comfortable with all the tongue-bathing either. I hope Scotty wins, but I feel for Lauren. They really got her hopes up and she is so young. We'll see how she reacts tomorrow night.

They wanted it over because it was total crap. Cahaya was right - J Lo was so uncomfortable saying what she needed to be saying. Stevie was easier because everyone expects him to be the horndog but you could even tell with him he was fed lines (and I'm not talkin' 'bout the good feelin' ones)

Watched the show.I feel like a weakish Lauren Alaina was force fed to us. J Lo could not smile when she turned to Steven T after giving comments on Lauren's last song. Because she did not believe what she just said? Scotty seemed subdued ... did someone tell him to let Lauren go last and now he realizes what that means? Scotty went the whole season without the pimp spot. IMO he's been that far ahead, or they wanted to keep Lauren in the mix, whatever. Will they have phone line problems with his votes? Hmmmm. Obviously they want Lauren to win. Country music fans...is she worthy? More than Scotty? BTW, David C's song was prerecorded.

From the comment section at MJ's--this tells you what you missed, lol! :"Kirsten says:
05/25/2011 at 2:12 am Performance Comments: Round 1: You Pick 1) Scotty – Gone
Ryan – “Here kid, go stand in the audience to start your song. Back. Back. Back. Okay, that’s far enough. And with no intro: GO!”
It seems weird not starting with an intro clip. A lot of people picked this song for Scotty since it was one of his best and uptempo (plus, he did not sing it last week). He wanders up the aisle like somebody looking for their seat, spends some time behind the judges being corralled by Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew and some other musician before escaping and finally making his way on stage. I think his vocal may have been better than the first time he sang it, but the dynamics of his moving around the stage were a bit off. Still, strong finish (8.5/10). 2) Lauren – Flat on the Floor
First we get Carrie in the intro. Then we get a Carrie song. What next, Carrie will pick a song? Nigel likes him some Carrie and thinks Lauren should be associated with her. Look, it’s Lauren rising up from the floor. Nigel’s Violin Play Nephew must have gotten lost trying to find his way off the stage because he is still there. Might as well play along with Lauren, eh? Both kids pick up beat numbers for their own pick. Must mean we are in for some dreary ballads coming up. I think she did better than the last time she sang the song because she didn’t seem as out of breath. (7.5/10) Refreshingly, the judges do nothing. It’s not really different than what they’ve been doing all season, but in this instance it takes up less air time. Round 1: Scotty wins. His song is better and he had more energy. Round 2: Some random person who has no clue who you are picks 3) Scotty – “Check Yes or No”
For reasons known only to George, he picks this song for Scotty. We don’t know if he likes Scotty. We don’t know if he hates Scotty. We don’t know if he thinks Scotty should stay in his lane or stretch. We don’t even know if it is the real George Strait who picked this song. For all we know, Ken and Nigel just contacted some random George Strait who is sick and tired of people calling him up thinking he is the real George Strait so now he just plays pranks on the people who call. Once again we get no intro clip and no judgery. I miss the intro clips. I feel for Scotty. You kind of expect to lose your luggage once in a while when you fly commercial, but you’d expect them to do better when it’s a private jet. Poor kid has been wearing the same shirt for two weeks now. Every where he goes, same shirt. And for this leg of the race, he obviously only got $1 because he can’t afford to buy something new. I bet his Mom helps him rinse it out every night and hang it in the bathtub to dry. Whatever, I’m not flying Idol Air because they don’t ever find your luggage once they lose it. Or maybe they sent it by bus. I think I hear one coming. Isn’t this the same song he sang last week, but not quite as good? It’s like a slightly stupider, more childish and drearier version of that song Jimmy picked for Scotty last week. I know George is King, but I don’t think he watches the show or he’d know how redundant this song choice really is. Although it fits the theme of Scotty’s recycled shirt. Scotty makes a game effort of it and Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew is there to help out (Nigel’s VPN kindly stands next to Scotty so that sometimes Scotty is in the frame while the camera man is filming Nigel’s VPN). It’s a fine song if not all that special (7/10) 4) Lauren – “Maybe it Was Memphis” At first, I thought that Lauren’s vocal chords had packed it in and Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew was going to give us a brief musical interlude while the Quack in Black operated on her some more in the back room. But, no, suddenly Lauren is there too looking like an escapee from a music box. This is another unspectacular choice and we don’t know why Carrie picked it. Maybe Carrie is tired of Nigel phoning her too. (7/10) The judges blather some nonsense and pretend they are Simon Round 2: Tie. Nothing special. No trainwrecks. Meh songs. Round 3: Songs Jimmy picked that are nowhere as good as the songs Jimmy picked last week. Did Jimmy get help last week? If so, maybe whoever helped Jimmy should be the big music exec. Just sayin’ 5) Scotty: I Love You this Big because this is Big and Jimmy is Big And I can’t say No Because I’d be in Big Trouble Jimmy uses the word “Big” about 20 times when introducing the song. That should have been our first clue. I suspect that Jimmy might have written the song. Don’t quit your day job, Jimmy. I’m kind of outraged when this song starts. Like look who is hogging the screen? Scotty, that’s who. Just who does he think he is? It takes at least 30 seconds before we get our first full shot of Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew. Sure, we heard him playing away, but we need to see him. He is what this show is all about. It’s nice that somebody found a suit for the kid to borrow for this number. I think his plaid shirt must have gotten mad and walked away on its own after Steven said it wasn’t as pretty as Lauren’s outfits. Steven can be so cruel. Even Simon would never have been that mean. Anyway, Jimmy thinks this song will be Big. He seems to be easily swayed by lyrics. You know, this song could probably have been fixed if Mr. Shue had given the writer his Rhyming book and a Thesaurus. The melody isn’t bad. It’s just all the “Bigs” that make it insanely stupid (7/10) Judges: That was amazeballs, but we’ll change our minds in a few minutes. 6) Lauren – Ode to Stage Mothers aka KLC reject song aka “Like My Mother Does” Jimmy doesn’t seem to realize that Lauren is a minor and that’s why her Mom is always hanging around. Now, I can kind of see how he might at first think she was a stalker who dresses like her Idol, but must have realized at some point that she was Lauren’s Mom. Anyway, because she’s always around and Jimmy is so literal, he decides that Lauren should sing a song to her. Why not? He doesn’t bother to find her an original song, but that might be a good thing. Sometimes songs are originals because they aren’t very good *cough*Love You This Big*cough. The song starts and I immediately know that something is amiss. I do not hear the strains of a violin. Instead, there is a mandolin. I spend the entire song worried about Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew. Is he ill? Did he fall off the stage? Is the Quack in Black conducting medical experiments on him. Or did the Evil Mandolin Player stuff him into a tuba case? Should I call 911? Does Nigel Know? This is a disaster. Despite this, Lauren soldiers on. She is wearing the nicest outfit that she has ever worn. The Department of Workers Safety, having gotten up in Nigel’s grill last week about Haley’s tumble, makes sure that Ryan helps Lauren safely navigate the stairs (just where was he when Scotty was capering up and down the stairs?). Lauren finds her Mom (good thing she had her arm up in the air), gives her a hug without missing a note and gets back on stage to finish her song (7/10) Judges: More nonsense. Basically, Scotty lost. Ryan has Scotty come back on stage so that the judges can once again tell him he lost in case he didn’t hear them the first time (maybe because Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew was banging to heavily on the lid of the tuba case trying to get out). Round 3: Lauren because her song contains more then 4 words Who won: Nigel’s Violin Playing Nephew, where ever he may be. Who lost: The Audience (and Scotty’s luggage)"

57. "RE: AI 10 Top 2 Performance ECST" |
Hi CTG!Kirsten cracks me up. Here's a post she wrote in the comments section before she wrote the one above. More snark! "Kirsten says:
05/25/2011 at 12:30 am General Comments
——————— 1) In all the years that they’ve had kids with vocal problems, this is the year that they bring out the doctor to explain in detail what is going on? Usually they ignore it. Nice he came dressed in scrubs like he’d been operating on her in the back room. Love how they made Scotty stand between Ryan and the doctor to hear the diagnosis and he had to look all concerned even though she was probably talking his ear of 20 seconds ago. And then, Ryan confirmed that Scotty was at 100%. The cheat! How dare he! Scotty has not business being healthy when Lauren is so sick she needs some backroom quack experimenting on her. Did none of you see what happened to Michael?!?!?!?! 2) Did they replace our usual Ryan Seacrest with Folgers crystals? Man. Did. He. Ev. Er. Ov. Er. E. Nun. Ci. At. Ev. Ery. Thing. To. Night! Either that or he fried a microchip. 3) Is that violin player one of Nigel’s relatives? Because he got more air time than the contestants. 4) Epic Fail 1: The judges. First, we forget about them. Then Randy sputters catch phrases, JLo dithers and Steven picks the pretty one confirming the real reason why he is there. 5) Epic Fail 2: The Legends. What kind of half-a$$ery was that? If the legends are picking the song, they can darn well explain why. A nice little intro clip. What did they do? Text message old George: Nigel and Ken: “Dear George. You don’t know us, but we run the highest rated show on television. We want to use Carrie to pimp TCO. Could you please pick a song for that other kid so it looks like we aren’t busing him?” George: “Who are you and where did you get this number from?” N&K: “Um…well, you know Jimmy Iovine? Well, um…while he was in the loo, we pinched his phone and went through his address book. Um…what do you say, can you give us a so-so song for some kid to sing as a sop? You’d be doing us a favour. Hey! Pick one of your own songs and you’ll at least get some royalties!” G: “If I give you a song will you promise to delete my phone number? I hate changing that damn thing! And tell Jimmy if he ever leaves that phone unattended again, I’m going to take that phone and his stupid hat and run over it with my Mac truck.” K&N: “Done and done. Now about that song?” G: “Eh. Have him sing that song about the check boxes.” K&N: “Great. Oh, one other thing, can we borrow that truck? Our bus seems to be on the fritz”. 6) Epic Fail 3: Opening intro drives home that Nigel wishes to forget the last two years of Ken’s rein. Sorry Lee and Kris. The last winner was Cook. 7) Epic Fail 4: Jimmy Iovine’s song choices. That is the best you could find? A KLC reject and some goofball song? Jimmy, I hate to tell you this, but while you were busy playing music mogul on TV, the rest of the music biz pranked you. 8 ) Epic Fail 5: Scotty’s single. Did Jimmy pay the songwriter by the word? Because that song reminds me of the stunt I used to play in Grade 6 when I didn’t have enough pages in the Journal my English teacher made me keep. I’d scrawl some crappy a$$ story where the characters would keep saying the same thing to each other “It’s Big because it’s Big and it will always be Big because it’s Big and Big is all it will ever be.” 9) Epic Fail 6: Nigel because he fails to understand that people don’t seem to really like Lauren’s Mom. I’m not sure it’s fair that the world doesn’t like Lauren’s Mom, but on the whole, we do not, so he shouldn’t have built the finale around her. Also, he should have saved the song for coronation night because it broke up the flow of the song tonight. 10) Epic Fail 7: Whichever idiot (probably Ken) who decided to run the “Your Journey Ends” video behind the kids while they sang their singles? Eh? They totally did not go with the songs and totally distracted us from them. Hmmm…on second thought, maybe it was a brilliant idea (in which case it was probably Nigel). 11) Epic Fail 8: Those itty-bitty screens they played the death reel on during Cook’s songs. Seriously, I almost got motion sick from all that panning around and I don’t think I saw much of anything. Hmm…I haven’t even gotten to performance comments and this post is too long."
