American Idol
Ok, did you watch American Idol last night? First and foremost, Paula reached a new level last night. The contestants sang 2 songs (the theme was Neil Diamond). The judges weren't commenting until after each contestant sang their second song. However, after the first round of songs Ryan asked the judges to just make a quick observation of the first songs. Randy make a few comments. Then we got to Paula. She seemed confused and thrown off her game (does she really have any game in this show???) and stumbled for words to describe Jason who was the first singer last night. She talked about his first song and then started commenting on what she thought of his second song. I was sitting there thinking, did I miss something? Did the judges watch dress rehearsal and she's commenting on that? But, no, she was just being her very confused self and Ryan had to cut her off. Wow. And she insists she doesn't drink. If you missed her comments click on this link and you can hear it for yourself. http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/04/on-the-scene-th.html Hmmmm.....
Also last night, David Archuleta actually seemed like he was having fun when he sang 'Sweet Caroline'. I think so many times he comes off like a little likable robot that you wind up and shove onto the stage each week. But when he sang 'Sweet Caroline' he had a genuine smile on his face and moved around like he was enjoying himself. I know it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that he's going to win this thing (and the judges keep seeming to shove him down our throats to tell us to vote for him) but sometimes I really wonder what HE wants.
The performances of the night, however, belonged to David Cook who so often steals the show with his talent. That guy is the one we're definitely going to hear from when this is all said and done. I'd go out of my way to listen to his cd and see what he can do. The guy is good.
Lastly, I have to comment on Brooke. She was totally channeling Carly Simon on 'I am I said'. And she actually kind of looks like a young Carly Simon. And, surprise surprise, guess who is Carly Simon's favorite contestant this year. Yep, Brooke.
