Idol Ruminations
I can’t believe Diana Ross said ‘pronunciate.’ Ugh.
For all the money Simon is getting paid to do this show, why does he insist on wearing Fruit of the Loom undershirts?
Sanjaya. How he made it into this competition is the Eighth Wonder of the World, but at least he provides some much-needed comic relief (especially now that the BJ girl is gone). If Sanjaya wants to steal Chris Sligh’s ‘do, though, he should avoid using home perms from the Dollar Store.
Separated at birth?
Last night’s episode showcased three different strategies for what to do when you forget the words: (1) freeze up (Brandon); (2) make ‘em up (Stephanie); and (3) break into a song that sounds strikingly similar to Rednex’s Cotton Eyed Joe (Haley). Stephanie wins the Unintentionally Funny award, though. In explaining why she cut out the best part of the original song during her performance, she said that the disco part of the song involved a lot of “ad-libbing” and she wanted to “sing the verses” of the song. Uhm . . .
My picks:

Perhaps Sanjaya should wear a loincloth next week and sing someting from Jungle Book. Because he’ll probably still be there.
what about lakeisha and sundance?!
Sanjaya is terrible. He does not have any power in his singing for such a big song. I also keep saying that Blake should sing a Sting song.
I agree with your picks but would also add LaKisha. I love that Melinda girl though. Sanjaya sounds like he’s in a jr. high musical.
I had a dream this morning that one of the reasons Sanjaya made it in was because he’s an illegal immigrant.
wtf
yea i have to agree with ya on the sanjaya thing…he must have some chica goin googoo over him cuz idk why hes still in this competition.
im not too impressed with any of them but the obvious african american belters….
I long ago stopped pretending to care about American Idol and now just go who? whenever someone brings it up. I’m starting to think the idea is old. In terms of…who can remember all of them and besides Kelly Clarkson who was first how many of them have super successful “idol-like” careers. I can’t even remember their names.
The “pronunciate” thing totally made my day. And the Sanjaya thing is making me crazy! I love how he did his hair (and earrings! ack!) like Diana Ross. ::shudder::
We’ve nicknamed him Mangina the Dream Killer. You’ll notice that people are starting to move away from him during the selection show. Every single person who has stood next to him in the final moment has gotten axed. My brother wants him to make the top 6 (or win) just for comedic value.
Don’t count out Jordin and Gina. I think they might be sleepers. Melinda and Lakisha have hands down the best voices, but Lakisha doesn’t show enough personality (which is what will probably kill her in the end) and Melinda might have trouble appealing to the pop music crowd. And she’ll have a career reguardless of winning Idol.
I was willing to give the first “pronunciate” a pass because, let’s face it, most of us have mangled the English language like that at least once while speaking on the fly. But she kept saying it! It was absoludicrous, as she (and Mr. T) would say.
Haha, Sanjaya is adorable. I’ve only seen one episode but in it, whoever did his hair really fucked it up into a pseudo afro sort of deal. It was quite ridiculous. Too bad he’s not that great of a singer.
I’m an Idol fan as well! This year I can’t seem to remember their NAMES; maybe it’s because I’m older or perhaps they just don’t “trip my trigger”. I do remember Sanjaya’s name tho; I use it in a sentence almost daily. PLEASE SEND SANJAYA HOME!!!! I don’t even think he’d make a very exciting “boy toy”!!! -Niles-
Weird as it is, “pronunciate” is an actual word! (Though it would have been cool if she intentionally mashed “pronounce” and “enunciate”…
