AI 3/4/08 -- The 80's had some good music, at least

Okay, so last week I had the worst cold ever. Still do, in fact. I didn't even watch the show except for about half the boys. I'm telling you, if you're thinking about coming to Southern California, beware of this cold. It's nasty. Awful. Just plain miserable.

You know what's even better than having this awful cold? Having it while pregnant and being the primary caretaker for a toddler who just got over it. Suffice to say, I'm in a bad mood.

At least this show was only an hour. I was so relieved to see that, seriously.

Luke Menard -- "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" Going from talking about cross-dressing to a Wham! song? Right. Any joke I'd try would just be lazy. Luke sounded like a low-energy copy. Blah. He should have had EITHER the short-shorts or the crazy dancing. Both would have gotten him more votes, for sure. Simon called it "girly." Heh, right on Simon.

David Archuleta -- "Another Day in Paradise" I still don't get it. David's just not that good. WHAT are you people hearing? If you heard this in another room and didn't know it was the gaspy golden boy, you just wouldn't love it. Trust me. He's being sold as wonderful but he's just.not.that.good. And God, he sounds like a beauty pageant contestant with this homeless stuff. I wonder what his stance on world peace is?

Danny Noriega -- "Tainted Love" Sorry guys, I still love Danny. His singing is at least as good as Gaspy's, plus he can actually perform. Be honest, he's clearly the most entertaining of all the singers -- male or female. I really enjoyed him again. Maybe I'm just a fag hag, but I love him. AND, I love the purple streaks. Go Danny!

David Hernandez -- "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" Boogers are more embarrassing than the world knowing you were a stripper at a franks 'n beans bar? Good to know. You know who I hate more than Celine Dion? Meatloaf. So yeah, there was no way I was going to like this. Plus, why would you sing a Celine song if you had a big gay thing come out (so to speak)? David sings the horrible song I can't stomach just fine, if a little nasal. Once again, I really hate this song so maybe he sang like a fucking angel. I'll really never know.

Michael Johns -- "Don't You Forget About Me" Michael's voice is wiggly. I don't know what else to call it. I think it's just part of his greaseball affect, though. The song sounds okay, but the lyrics just don't seem to have any meaning when he sings. He could be singing the phone book and it'd sound the same. Simon calls him a wannabe rock singer. Yup.

David Cook -- "Hello" Isn't that hair his most embarrassing thing? Dude. I almost liked this, except I hate emo. And dammit, Randy called it emo too. I said it first, dog. David Cook's a faker tool, but I didn't hate him singing this. Progress? No, I still can't stand to look at him.

Jason Castro -- "Hallelujah" OMG, I love Jason Castro forever. Forever and ever. Plus, I'm crying. RIP Jeff Buckley. Leonard Cohen still rocks. This song is amazing. Jason did a really great job. It was perfect. WHAT is he doing here? I still want to see him do a disco song, but I hope he doesn't get crushed. Too bad Idol is going to own his soul for like ten years after this.

Chickezie -- "Al the Woman I Need" God, it's so easy to forget how bad music could be in the 80's. Passable. Boring. Crap. *meh* Can we see Jason Castro again?

Best: Jason Castro
Worst: Luke Menard
Going home: Luke & Frank 'n Beans
