APPARENTLY, NOT EVERYTHING CHRIS SLIGH DOES IS MAGIC: There wasn't a lot to learn on Idol's tribute to the songs of No Doubt, The Police, Donna Summer And, Um, Other Folks. Gina Glocksen's take on The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" was great, but, dawg, if Gina couldn't rock the Chrissie Hynde, she'd need a totally new box for the producers to place her in.
Everyone else was safe and boring, except for Chris Sligh, who got outpaced by the wordiness of Gordon Sumner, and Beatbox Blake who managed to make The Cure's "Lovesong" depressing and languorous, and Sanjaya who just plain sucks, albeit with freakier hair each week. And Melinda was safe, but is never boring. When everyone's got the freedom to really do whatever s/he wants, it shouldn't be this "meh".
I don't know what you're thinking, so please start explaining in the comments. Don't tell me Sligh's going home, though, because it hurts.
e.t.a.: Totally forgot to mention this, but who knew that Gwen Stefani was the cutest Hogwarts student ever?
