"Lesbian Idols Journal - Big Band Week" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-09-04 AT 07:17 AM (EST)Lesbian Idols Journal – Week Eight (Big Band) In reverse order…
5. Diana DeGarmo
In terms of (manufactured) performance and (slightly robotic) spunk, Di can do no wrong. In terms of clothes poor little girl never seems to do any right. Her silky purple satin nightgown was lovely, and would have been perfect on someone longer and/or thinner… but the cut-off-just-below-the-knees dress made her look short to the point of stunted, and that silver strip of material (which functioned as a belt) located just above her puppy fat belly… well it turned eveningwear into maternity wear. I’ll spell it out for you Diana fans – she sang great, but looked like a mildly pregnant hobbit (with store-bought blond extensions) throughout both her songs. Female, talented though she is, has got to start learning how to pick clothes that will actually look good on her (and not just on the clothes-rack) if she wants to win this thing.
4. Jasmine Trias
When Jasmine first appeared onstage to sing The way you look tonight I was like: what the crap is Miss Under-18 wearing? A pair of jeans and a lime-green blouse that looks like it was stolen from Camile Velasco – and on Big Band night! The inappropriate casual-ness of it all was completed with her hair in a simple ponytail held together by a plastic flower (ew), and little chain-link belt thingies strung all over her too-boring-to-be-trendy but not-boring-enough-to-be-butch pair of jeans. I’m sure she meant to be brave in dressing non-fancy on a fancy night, but it just didn’t work, and her unremarkable vocals didn’t help any... looking and sounding blah at the same time, like the way you did this week Jazzy, is simply unacceptable.
3. George Huff
I really, really, really, really expected much more of George this week. The Big Band theme could have offered him a wide range of material for him to show off his vocal range and versatility, while Big Band week is arguably one of the few times where male finalists have the rarely-given opportunity to out-dress their female counterparts. But George chose to perform what were possibly two of the most boring big-band songs out there, and he chose to perform them in one of the most blah-looking black suits I have ever seen. The polka-dotted tie couldn’t save the outfit from looking, at best, funereal; just as George’s attempts to sound spirited – as he plowed his way through (eugh) Cheek to Cheek and (yuck) What a Wonderful World – couldn’t save him from elimination.
2. Fantasia Barrino
We’ve come to expect inventiveness and originality and a lesbian kinda chic from Fantasia – and this week female did not disappoint. She wore a sexy black vest which showed off her shoulders and hinted at her boobs while allowing her lots of free movement in her upper body during her energetic re-working of a Queen song; and fitted black pants that combined with her top to look funky when she moved around (during Crazy Little Thing Called Love), and classy when she sat down to do her subdued, elegant rendition of What are you doing the rest of your life. Her white heels were perfect as well – the only problem I had was that the golden-bronze choker she wore around her neck did not match the silver bracelet she had on her right hand. Otherwise… I love you Fantasia, I love your bare-footed craziness and your silly bo-bo dance and your ability to move people to tears at the most unexpected of moments. You’re probably not going to win because Diana DeGarmo’s fans phone-vote for two hours non-stop every week; but don’t let that stop you from achieving the greatness you deserve.
1. La Toya London
Now if you’ve ever watched the idols lined up side by side closely, you’ll notice that La Toya and Jasmine are almost exactly the same height, while Diana is a little taller than both of them. How is it then Jasmine almost always gives off “demure/petite” vibes (which is probably what she wants to give off anyway), Diana can only manage to pull off “squat”, while La Toya is always, always an imposing stage presence, and can even, like in this week’s Fashionable-Dyke performance, sometimes manage to look “statuesque”? I suppose shape has a little something to do with it, but it’s most likely because La Toya knows exactly what clothes, what colours, what cuts, what accessories, what make-up, what hair, what shoes will go with what performance to give off what effect, week after week. For Big Band Night, woman wore an orange costume that emphasized her beautiful skin-tone, the ever-present chandelier earrings worked well in conjunction with her hair, which was gelled to conform exactly to the curvature of her skull (without those earrings her head with that hairstyle might’ve looked disturbingly egg-shaped), the length of her skirt was cut just above the knees so it was modest yet sexy and allowed her to move like the practiced, polished, stage performer she has always been. If I sound a little disinterested and unmoved by her efforts it’s because I am – La Toya’s stage perfection, week after week, can really dry up one’s appetite for her after a while. But there’s no denying her costume + performance was top-notch this week – let’s hope she can somehow magically up the ante and excite the audience all over again come Disco night.
The Sum Of All Fashions
Fantasia Barrino (1+2+2=5)
Diana DeGarmo (6+6+5=17)
La Toya London (4+3+1=8)
Jasmine Trias (3+1+4=8)
The dearly departed
Jennifer Hudson (2)
George Huff (7+5+3=15)
John Stevens (5+4=9)

I think George looked great for Big Band week and as for the reference to his songs, heard an interview over the weekend that said George was suppose to sing "Unforgettable" and a Frank Sinatra song which the producers made him change.
So now lets face it, you are not going to tell me that this show already has its winner picked from the start and thats how they base things around them???

George himself said it on his interview with TV Guide or one of those shows. He said the producers changed it last Friday becasue they did not think they were good fits. He was going to do "Unforgettable" and "Minnie the Moocher".
Plus this woman Donna who is an entertainment reporter from syracuse New York confirmed they changed his songs.
Now lets face it, producers changing songs??? I guess that is part of the end that says they can change rules and procedures without notice.
The woman also said supposedly there was only a 200 vote difference between George and Jasmine and the producers held a behind closed door meeting over this.
Ryan Seacrest never mentioned a word about the closeness Wednesday like he did with John Stevens the week before.
They totalled something like 2 million less votes this past week.
She also seems to think that since everyone is figuring Latoya to win they are trying to promote Diana fast. I guess to keep viewers. Their commercial now says, if you think you know the winner, don't count on it.
This show is so fixed, I am convinced now. However the contestants cannot talk because they face monetary damages and I guess a career on the line.

Mildly pregnant hobbit BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
BTW, since I missed this (time zone kerfuffle) can anyone point me to a picture of Diana's outfit? The idol sites I visited were at least 2 weeks behind.
Love and warm fuzzies to y'all
 La Vida es un Tango!
