205 > 919: My instanalysis of the American Idol final eight:
Clay: There's a lot more emotion in the song ("At This Moment", Billy Vera and the Beaters, from that Family Ties episode) than what he brought out -- the whole falsetto ending that he didn't sing. Meh.
Kim Locke, Trenyce: Two different takes on Celine Dion. Kim made it her own, and it rocked. That thief Lashundra did another impression instead of singing the song with her own voice. It's a great talent to be able to impersonate Whitney and Celine, but it doesn't make you a singer in your own right. Also, drop the spirit fingers. Please.
Josh: Fine performance, wrong show. Nashville Star is Saturday nights at 10p. Go trade places with Brandon Silveira.
Carmen: Sang Blondie's "Call Me." Here's 35 cents. Call your mom instead, and tell her you're not going to be the American Idol. I can't listen to her without thinking of the Stevie Nicks/goat bashing on the "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" episode of South Park. The song requires a dirty-girl sound, leading to...
Kim Caldwell: who should've sang Blondie instead. Instead, she did a Bryan Adams song derided as "that codependent shit" on NS, and rightfully so.
Rickey Smith: Does it matter? He ain't beating Clay or Ruben, who...
Ruben: Thank you for picking a great song for your voice -- "Kiss And Say Goodbye" by the Manhattans. Finally snapped out of his laziness. Smooth. Wonderful. Still looks like a coronation.
