The other interesting thing I noticed was how once "I slept under the air conditioner" girl hydrated her voice, she was FUCKING INCREDIBLE. She kind of blew her friend away. Also, they only showed her singing for about 3 seconds, but based on that Red is the best pop-mezzo in the competition.

Rodesia was very disappointing. Bonus points for gettig back into the key so quickly, but BIG MINUS POINTS for intonation. Likewise 9 did so well up to this point, then turned into a fucking Whitney-clone. This was somewhat forgivable, but to go on and say that "I Will Always Love You" was Whitney's song???? OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, YOU UNEDUCATED FOOL.

Nikki was sobbing so hard partially because of relief and partially because she didn't feel like she sang better than R.J. I think she's a little too tender-hearted for this competition, actually. Still, I love her look and her on-stage charisma is overwhelming. If Justin doesn't stop fucking around, she could very well knock him out of the competition next week.

thank you Adele
― Call me at **BITCOIN (DJP), Thursday, 18 April 2013 14:02 (twelve years ago)
Okay, didn't even realize Adele had covered this. I've heard surprisingly little by her, considering her ubiquity. Cuz I was gonna say, if Candice actually thought up the rearrangement, it's pretty brilliant.
― New Authentic Everybootsy Collins (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 18 April 2013 14:08 (twelve years ago)
yeah the Adele version is baller, excellent choice for Candice:

Dude have you heard Megan Joy's solo stuff? She went off on a Portisheadish tangent for a while and was fucking amazing:

She shot herself in the foot at every turn on Idol, but I still think she has a great voice. (Untrained, but getting there.)

I haven't watched any of it, but my town of Amory is having a "local boy makes good" moment – Trent Harmon, one of the contestants who advanced tonight without having to qualify, is from here. He's 3 or so years younger than my daughter – he played the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (as a freshman) and she was in the production as one of the brothers' wives. Apparently he's, like, really talented.
― Mars Capone (WilliamC), Thursday, 25 February 2016 02:24 (nine years ago)
I watched my first full episode in like forever last night. Holy crap, can we just crown La'Porsha now? This was amazing.

Welp, the local guy won it. There was a big watching party downtown in the park and I could hear the roar from my house when his name was announced.
― Honor thy pisstake as a hidden intention. (WilliamC), Friday, 8 April 2016 02:10 (nine years ago)
I didn't watch any of this season (really I'd only seen a few La'Porsha clips here and there). Trent seems like an ok guy, decent voice, traditional Idol-victor type. Hopefully, La'Porsha has a multi decade career tho. She was the truth and the light.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 8 April 2016 02:15 (nine years ago)
I didn't watch any of it until the winner announcement tonight but yeah, I would have been happy with La'Porsha winning – maybe happier. I know my daughter was actively rooting for her.
