AMERICAN IDOL-Week 7

*Shout out to Marissa for picking up my mistake last week. Marissa informed me Robin Hood was released summer of '91 not '92.

So let's see tonight was disco night which I was dreading being that disco is not one of my fave genres. Let's put it this way-it does not make the preset station in my car. But before we get into tonight I have an observation which I have been confirming on the web-no Idol Gives Back show this year. (I think I just heard Bono faint). I must say I am totally disappointed. This was a great idea, a huge money maker and last time I checked Africa didn't become a budding metropolis and the kids in Appalachia still can't read so I am not quite sure the reason behind this one. Very very uncool Idol. Very uncool.

Second announcement: After the You Tube explosion of Susan Boyle, Shaheen and the dance group Flawless, I am stunned as to why an American network won't pick up Britain's Got Talent for this season. Just for those persons alone you would get through the roof ratings. Literally I get goosebumps listening to Ms. Boyle. If you have not seen any of these ads get over to You Tube immediately! (After reading my blog of course).

My Randy-ism tonight deals with fashion. What in the hell was Randy wearing? Seriously- a spray painted, fluorescent tee-shirt with fake graffiti? What is this 1988? Who are you -the Fresh friggin Prince? )You are all totally singing the theme song right now aren't you? I mean it was, in Simon's words-God Awful! It was as bad as those plastic ring clips that you would attach to your long t-shirt over leggings and slouch socks. Not to mention it looked like it had been through the wash quite a few times as it was clinging to Randy and Randy is no A-Rod body wise. I love my dog Randy but come on! (*Disclaimer-no offense to Will Smith either-the Banks family was a fab way to kick off Monday night sitcoms-right before Blossom).

The whole show was on fast forward-literally Ryan would quickly usher off the performers during their final note as to get the show over so Fringe didn't "infringe" on the 10 o' clock news. Here goes:

Lil-Well at least she was able to get the public humiliation out of the way immediately. I love Dia-loser's comment how she does not see Lil's true artist come through-the girl has been performing for seven weeks and tried seven times to appease you. Doesn't mean she is not an artist, you just don't like her. You knew it was bad when the comments started off with Randy sucking air through his teeth.

Kris-Loved him! Loved the Santana/Dave Matthews Band type performance. He did a great job but I cannot comment much further because this was the point in the show when I was struck with the reality of Randy's t-shirt so I was a little flummoxed for a bit.

Danny-Here is my problem with the 70's. It pretty much will all sound like karaoke. Pretty much every wedding band you ever see really showcases their 70's flavor. I mean everyone has their bridal party get introduced to "Celebrate." We all get down to "We are Family." That's why Danny I think did really well, because at least he showcased his voice a bit during the performance. And speaking of wedding bands, I did not notice Danny's tonight. Simon wanted him to do something more on stage. Not quite sure what he would like to see-back flips perhaps?

Alison-Awesome. She has such an amazing voice. The only thing not amazing were the leather control top pantyhose she was wearing. I hate pantyhose-you take it out-it is the size of doll pants. It is a true testament to acrobatics in my room when I have to get into pantyhose. It's a sight to see let me tell you. Forget it if it is control top-those are the size of a lima bean and somehow they are supposed to fit on my body. Moving on...Alison did a great job and her hair was styled cute!

Adam-I don't even know where to begin. The song sounded nice. Then he had his Axl Rose impression which just does not work. Paula cried which pissed me off. Then Adam did it-thanked the composer for the arrangement he supposedly wrote for Adam. I guess Adam did not get the memo that this was the seventh week of Idol, not the acceptance speeches at the Grammys. That is where I can't stand Adam. It's the cocky, obnoxious attitude. And I liked him all through the elimination rounds and then I don't know what happened. And to my friend Bobbi-you know I love you girl, but Taylor Hicks was also crowned the Idol once. And Sebastian Bach? No one can do "18 and Life" like Sebastian. And he was H-O-T! (O.k. so we totally agree on Skid Row).

Matt-I think Matt would like to morph into Justin Timberlake to the point I was waiting for T.I. or Ludacris to join him on stage for some fabulous duo. He was pretty awful-especially since he was saved. I like him voice, I think he is cool, but "Staying Alive" will not keep him alive this week.

Anoop-My Idol fashion plate. Rocking the pink sweater that I would do anything for in size 3T for Preston right now. Who else digs the Desai's? I think Anoop's parents are super cool. I really liked his take on Donna Summer. Everyone did Donna Summer proud tonight. I actually saw Donna Summer in concert at Jones Beach back in the day with my high school boyfriend. She rocked!

My picks are Lil and Matt for the ceremonial booting tomorrow. I think Anoop might hit bottom 3, but he should last at least one more week. Watch this go completely awry and Alison goes-sometimes that is just how it rolls on Idol.
