Thank God for Adam

This week was flooded with poor song choices.

Jasmine “Love Song” – I had high hopes for her. I really liked her through the “audition” process and she was one of the ones I was excited to see. Not good.

Matt the pianist “Viva la Vida” – I think this is a difficult song to sing. I was slightly impressed that he could sing it at all. I just think it would have been better for him if he sang it well. I do like him though. I wouldn’t hate it if he makes it through. Another one I was super excited to see that let me down.

Leggy Bartender “This Love” – I fast forwarded. And then apologized to my husband because those legs really are magnificent. I told him I should have just muted. He wasn’t that bothered by it though.

Nick/Norman – wasn’t even funny this time around. I wish I would have found it entertaining since this show is such a joke anyway. Oh well. Let down #3. I’d say #4 but since I had no idea who Legs was before this, it was hard to feel let down by her.

NPH was there again? Is he dating Ryan?

Allison “Alone” – I said last week that certain songs should be retired. This is one of them. Carrie blew me away with this song. I do like Allison though. I’m pretty sure she’s the coolest sixteen year-old in the world.

Cute boy “Man in the Mirror” – I don’t know if I like this song. I do know that I don’t like this boy’s choice of song. Husband thought it was good. *shrug*

Megan Corkery “Put Your Records On” – Good God she is gorgeous. I really liked her from the auditions. I’m not sure I was crazy about this song choice but she’s a favorite of mine.

Matt the welder “If You Could Only See” – He has a nice, smooth voice. This song was slowed down too much. I haven’t heard Tonic’s version of this song in years though because I favor PNH’s (a local band that went national and then broke up… idiots) so maybe the original is that slow. I’m not sure I felt let down by him but I was underwhelmed.

Jesse “Bette Davis Eyes” – I loved her. I loved her song choice. I loved her vibe. I loved her being all WTF? to Randy. LOVE her. I’ve loved her brother since “Lie to Me” (What was that 1997?) so she gets bonus affection by association.

Kai “?”– wrong song… that I don’t remember. Shame. I was excited to see him. And hello? He’s gorgeous. He could use some work on his hair (including facial). Ah well.

Mishavonna “Drops of Jupiter” – meh. I didn’t hate it.

Adam “Satisfaction” – y’all are going to tie me up and torture me but I love him. I wouldn’t buy a CD (I don’t think… well, maybe I would after a few more months of brainwashing) but I would LOVE to see him on stage. He owns it. His range is incredible. He is in a completely different league than anybody on this show. Anybody that’s ever been on this show. I’m not saying I like his voice better than I’ve liked anybody else’s voice. (I tend to like my singers to show emotion when they sing.) I’m saying he belongs on stage and I’d pay money to watch him. My only complaint with him was… not with him at all. My only complaint is that the stage was way too small for him. He’s out of place on American Idol. Maybe I’ll get sick of him, because Lord knows I’ve never favored a theater-type performer on any of these shows (Rockstar INXS comes to mind. What was that one guy’s name? and MiG. Which brings Marty to mind. Which brings Ryan to mind. Which reminds me why I shouldn’t ever bother getting invested in anybody on American Idol. Because hello? Nobody can touch Ryan.) but right now, I can’t wait to see him perform again. I am highly anticipating the “top” twelve show because Adam is fabulous. Ooh! We’ll get to see him sing again tonight, right? Yay!
