First off, the song choices for the one-hit wonders
section: um, in what universe were any of those songs one-hit wonders? For
every one except Cry Me A River I could name at least two artists who’d covered
it (and a brief foray onto Wikipedia told me that at least 43 artists have
covered Cry Me A River). That was some major reaching going on, Idol producers.
And I think it is official that Amber is after the gay vote, with her choices
of a Celine Dion song and MacAthur Park (love that song). So who’s going home?
Or is anyone going home? Because they did not use the save there are now more
weeks left until the finale than there are contestants. So is the surprise
twist that Ryan spoke of at the end of the show last night something to do with
no one going home tonight? Will they send no one home tonight and carry over
this week’s votes to next week’s results? That is my prediction. But if they do
decide to send someone home, I think it will be Kree. She is officially my
favorite, but history, her performances last night and the judges’ critiques
all point to her ouster.
Stupid Category picked by the public - Criteria was the song was the only hit for that artist.
ReplyDeleteI get that, but Amber's version of MacArthur Park was way more like Donna Summer's than it was Richard Harris'. And it was certainly not Donna Summer's only hit. Very stupid public-picked theme!

ReplyDeleteOkay, so replying works. I wanted to tell you that I watched (or tried to anyway) that awful show last night and want them to all go home. Hated Anja-bang the most, then Candace, then Amber, then Kree. Didn't see or have to hear Blondie. Kree may be my favorite but was waaaaayy too stiff and unidol-like. Also, I personally own 'Cry Me A River' by at least five artists. It's a wonderful song. How is an Adele or Celine Dion song a one-hit wonder? Splain please.
DeleteWell, neither the Celine Dion song nor the Adele song were in the one-hit wonder section; the first was in the personal choice section and the second was in the duo bit.
DeleteRay Charles, Diana Krall (the best), Joe Cocker, Michael Buble, Shirley Bassey
