The suck:
- Mike Myers, Mike Myers, Mike Myers. No amount of promotion will make me want to see that movie.
- Bryan Adams' hair, and the fact that he looks like Jeff Probst's dissolute older brother.
- Amanda Overmyer trying to sing Donna Summer. Or sing anything.
- You get a car! You get a car!
- Nothing was quite as awesome as Doug E. Fresh + Blake Lewis, except maybe the USC Marching Band.
- Jimmy Kimmel's obviously pre-taped monologue.
- Not enough Chikezie.
- The return of Matthew Rogers.
- David Cook with ZZ Top (or as they're known in Canada, "Zed Zed Top"), with the knee shimmy.
- Josiah Leming signed a recording deal today with Warner Bros.
- The parts of the Bryan Adams medley not involving Bryan Adams. This is the most talented group of guys the show has ever had, no question.
- Donna Summer handing her microphone to Syesha Mercado.
- Michael Johns + Carly Smithson = they should record & tour together.
- David Archuleta's grandparents.
- Okay, I liked the Tropic Thunder plug. I'm easy sometimes.
- Yes, it's safe to say Carrie Underwood has star quality. And a good seamstress.
- Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. George Michael. I know his voice isn't as strong as it was fifteen, twenty years ago (and something bad has happened to his face, and it ain't age), but he's someone who deserves a comeback. Seriously, that was a scandal?
Sepinwall kept a diary: "Seal comes out to duet with Syesha on 'Waiting For You.' After what Constantine Maroulis and other contestants have done to 'Kiss From a Rose' over the years on this show, I admire his willingness to associate himself with this show. Then again, Heidi and the baby Seals gotta eat. Not a bad number, really."
As did Dan Fienberg: "Jordin Sparks wants us to live her American Idol dream as some Disney theme park. The attraction will include having an underperforming debut album and being put on vocal rest."
