Week 2 AI – Boys

This
Is American Idol.
Guys.

Dear Lord – let it be better this week than last. Ugh. I hope it’s a good freaking theme. Meh. Don’t look, Daniel! Don’t look! (;

No, really, stop looking, Daniel.

Randy: Bring it to win it. (No, really?)
Paula: Growing into their own comfort level
Simon: Be better tonight

Classics from the 70’s – fuck. I hate the 70’s. >__< Michael Johns – Go Your Own Way
It’s – okay. The beginning sucked and now it’s better after the chorus. Just a’ight for me, dawg. Judges?
Randy: Good singer. It’s okay.
Paula: Consistent (Paula likes this guy too much. >__<)
Simon: It’s okay. Weakest perfomance so far. Coasting.

Jason Castro – I Just Want to Be Your Everything
Hrmm. It’s not bad. He’s got the guitar again. Can he perform without it? Or is it going to be a thing with him? Just wondering. Judges? (Huh. Look at that. They want to know if he can do it without the guitar too. Nice. (; )
Randy: Guitar is cool as an act. Vocals weren’t that great. Just okay. Kinda karoke
Paula: Wasn’t that bad. I think he’s cute. Clever song choice. See you without the guitar
Simon: Horrible. Too smaltzy. Vocals weak. Didn’t go together.

Luke Menard – Killer Queen
I couldn’t understand the beginning of this at all. I had no idea what he was singing at first. Man, you should never massacre a Queen song like that. Bastard. I want him to die for that. >___< It got better. Yeah. But - yeah. Ugh. I'm pissed about it now. :/ Judges?
Randy: Tough song. Like you better this week. Pitch problems. Pretty good.
Paula: Glad it was a great week. Perfect song.
Simon: It was a mistake. Judged with original. Original singer had charisma and personality. You didn’t. (HA! Simon! XD )

Robbie Carrico – Hot Blooded
Isn’t this song supposed to be – hyper? Bouncy? Something? It seems – slow. I don’t know. Something seems wrong. :/ Maybe I’m remembering the song wrong. I don’t know. The vocals are pretty good. I just – the tempo seems wrong. I’ll wait for the judges for that one. The vocals are probably the best I’ve had all night. Judges?
Randy: One of my favorite songs – waiting to be wowed and nothing came out. Just okay.
Paula: How does anyone know who you are but you? Played it safe this week. Lose your personality.
Simon: Don’t get defensive. Vocal was okay tonight.

Danny Noriega – Superstar
(So flaming. Sorry, Daniel. >__< )
I liked it. Best one so far. The perfomance actually seemed to match the song. Judges?
Randy: A fan. Thinking too much. Let it go and just sing.
Paula: Amazing vocal skill. Don’t overthink it. Forget about us.
Simon: Better this week. (I missed the rest, trying to get the damn song name.)

David Hernandez – Papa Was a Rolling Stone
I’m digging it. Of course, it’s a good song to start. But, I have to admit. He’s doing a good job with this song. I mean, the Temptations? Not bad for a white boy. (; Judges?
Randy: This is the David Hernandez we fell in love with. Dat’s how to put it down. Hot.
Paula: *standing ovation* (jesus, woman) Your voice is so pure. Personality came out this week. Perfect.
Simon: Best vocal of the night so far. (Totally agree, Simon. Totally.) You rise to the challenge of criticism.

Okay, apparently, they are not picking Disco. These songs are – good. DAMN good. Maybe I don’t hate the 70’s for music. (; (As much as I thought, anyway.)

Jason Yeager – Long Train Running
What the hell is this? O_o I – don’t like him with this song. At all. The vocals are okay. But – wow. I do not like him with this song. Ugh. Mleh. Stop. Just – stop. It’s not Amy Davis from last week (That was painful) – but I just dont’ like it at all. Judges?
Randy: Aw, god, dude. Wrong song. Pitchy and karoke. Didn’t get it.
Paula: Fun to see this side of you. Doesn’t show your vocal range. Wrong song.
Simon: Last week was boring. This week was awkward and ordinary. Horrific ending. Disappointed.

Chikezie – I Believe
Dude. If I can’t understand you – I don’t like you. Enunciate more. Jeez. Vocals are – okay. Not feelin’ it, dawg. Meh. Mostly because the beginning turned me off when I couldn’t understand some of the words. Stop screaming at me, too. >__< Judges? (Guess it was just me. Oh well.)
Randy: Chikezie is back. I’m happy you’re back. Having fun. Dat was hot, baby.
Paula: Very clever. Brilliant. Fun.
Simon: Look better, sounded better. Clever choice of song. Million times better than last week.

David Cook – All Right Now
My toes be a’tapping. So – hrmm. Course, the song is damn good, too. (; Now, how is HE doing with it? Not badly. His electric guitar is – turned up a bit too loud, I think. It’s distracting. I dig the a capella (mostly) part though. Judges?
Randy: Love throwing the picks out into the crowd. You are the real rocker this year. Smart song choice.
Paula: Band’s on fire tonight. Real deal. Got it. Very smart.
Simon: Solid. Believable. The film in the back was boring. You don’t have a lot of charisma.

David Archuleta – Imagine
Smart of them to put him last. He’s good. I like the rendition of this song. It’s good. Really good. Damn. Judges?
Randy: Dawg. One of the best vocals I’ve ever heard on this show. Brilliant. Hot!
Paula: You are ridiculous. (I think she cried. Looks like tears on her face.) One of the most moving performances.
Simon: Very risky to do John Lennon. It worked! You are the one to beat. 19 very missable contestants after that.

All in all – much better than last week. Some of them I hated. Some I liked. But – definitely better than last week.
No. I am not voting. I don’t care that much. And yet- I blog the show. What is wrong with me. (;
