Well, the Hollywood Round was having its annual group night fiasco. I'm never a fan of group night as you could be a good singer stuck in a terrible group and that could seal your fate.
Idol was painful to watch this round. They spent 28 minutes of the show showing people forming groups and such nonsense until we first got to hear them on stage. Most of the hour was spent watching Tatiana Del Toro cry and tell us how much she wants it and how great she is. She makes me want to puke. She' snot that good and she's such a drama queen. I want to throw her on the ground, take a plunger that was just used to unclog feces from the toilet, and start plunging her face. She annoyed the living shit out of me when we first saw her and last night I was ready to punch a hole in the TV screen every time I saw her get airtime which was about 50% of the hour show.
There was 104 people that was broken into groups and again, Idol did a terrible job showing them sing, who advanced, and who got the boot. One thing that pissed me off was that my audition early pick to win - David Osmond - who was great in his audition and great in his first Hollywood audition got the boot. Why? Did he go from amazing to horrific overnight? Probably not. It was probably the result of him being in a horrific group that picked a horrific song. But, they spent so much time in the auditions giving us his back story on MS that I'm sort of confused why he had about a second of airtime yesterday where we learned he was going on. This is a guy they should have at least let us see what happened to him.
So, with Osmond gone, there are three standout guys - Danny Gokey, Matt Giraud, and Michael Sarver. Right now, I'm gonna ride the Gokey train (Note: this is NOT a sexual comment....I'm just rooting for the guy) and see what happens but all three should be locks for the Top 12. I guarantee you'll see each of these three in different groups of 12 once the Top 36 is revealed so they'll each have a good shot to make it.
I'm very happy that Rose Flack is gone. Her voice was just okay but I couldn't look at her. She was such trailer trash with her messy blonde hair and bad teeth. She probably has B.O. on most days and she just skeeved me out. So, I hope she goes back home and at least takes a shower.
And Bikini Girl is gone. They spent too much time talking about her and her group. First she quits. They, she's back to sing. She does an OK job but nothing fantastic. She's had enough screen time this season already. Look for her soon in a 2009 edition of Girls Gone Wild. At least Rose and Bikini Girl didn't screw things up for Jasmine Murray who did a good job despite being around train wrecks.
And seriously, enough of Nathaniel Marshall. Between this dude and Tatiana both crying and bitching and moaning, I had enough. Stop being such a drama queen and just sing your song. Did we get more than 15 minutes of actual singing if we added it all up?
Jorge Nunez and Norman Gentle advanced but we really didn't see much of what they sung.
Ann-Marie Boskovich and Alex Wagner Trugman advanced but poor Emily Hughes flopped. She was one of the first good people we saw on the first night of auditions and she was just horrible last night. The more I saw of her, the less I liked so I'm actually glad she's gone as there are too many girls left that sound just as annoying as she sounds with that same raspy voice.
The best performance of the night was by "The Rainbow Coalition" with Gokey, his best friend Jamar Rogers, and Taylor Vaifuana. There was some other person in that group but I don't know who that was. They went acapella and it was the best performance of the few performances we saw.
A few other standouts were Michael Sarver who now is using Jeremy before the Michael for some reason, Adam Lambert who looks like he should be in Fall Out Boy, and Matt Breitzke who looks like one tough dude.
And why are so many groups singing Duffy's "Mercy?" I hate that song as it annoys me when I hear it on the radio and listening to other people sing it makes it even worse than the original.
It would also be nice, after two nights of Hollywood to see Blind Guy - Scott McEntyre - and also Joanna Pacitti, aka the chick who also had the recording contract. Let's see what these two have?
And that was basically the show. We really didn't see much last night but now they are down to 75 people and just 2 episodes left to get that number to 36.
Now, with all the drama gone, they really need to show them sing on Tuesday night. Enough of the crying. Enough of the nonsense. Let's see some singing. Let's see the talent. If I wanted to see an hour of crying, I'd just rewatch Monday night's "The Bachelor."
But until then, Birdman Out.
