Well, that was a big, fat failure for Dial Idol. They had KLC squarely in the middle and safe. Based on performance, though, I thought she was probably the worst, right there with Syesha. I'm still stunned Jim ranked him #1 and a lot of you thought she was good. Apparently all that warbling dazed you, and you were unable to distinguish which notes were in tune and which ones weren't!
Andrew Lloyd Webber next week. Oh joy. Perhaps this will be the week that Carly pops a vein in her forehead straining so hard to look like Devil Woman, and there won't be the need for an elimination.

Mrs. E is very happy that KLC is gone. Also, she said something very similar about Carly. She predicts the song that will do it for Carly is "Superstar." |

Ya.. AI pays attention to dialidol though. You had Cook in the group with KLC and Brooke so, you're thinking dialidol screwed up on Brooke, but then you figure they screwed up on Castro though in the other group. Then they changed Cook/Syesha it and it was pretty clear cut then.

It is unclear whom you are referring to in this because neither Kristy nor Syesha is a him and you referenced both girls either. Kristy was far better than Syesha in almost every way this week. I have no idea what on earth the judges saw in Syesha's performance, but it was horrific. Kristy was fairly well in tune, surprisingly. The low register was just a touch rough, and when you combine that with the fact that the song she sang had kind of an awkward chord progression when the melody dips into the low register, it sounded kind of strange at first. The clip of her rehearsing with Mariah showed her singing that little section and it was awfully out of tune. Her actual performance was much better in tune, though, and she pulled the whole thing off surprisingly well. After the rehearsal clip I laughed and told my wife "there's no way I'll make it through this one." Turned out she did much better than I thought she would. SORRY FOR TEXT WALL |

Yeah, I meant her, obviously, since Jim ranked her #1. And I disagree about her vocals, it was terrible three ways - rehearsal, performance, and sing out last night. She may have hit some notes warbling through them to get to the off-key stuff, but it was painful to listen to. Syesha wasn't any better, and may have been worse, but I had them as my bottom two anyway, so either of them leaving wouldn't have been a surprise. My surprise was that some of you thought KLC was actually good, as opposed to mediocre or bad.

The goofy look on Simon's face when KLC was singing at the end while sitting on the table was laugh out loud funny.

I actually felt sorry for David A. when Ryan asked him to side with the group he thought was safe. That's a tough place to put a 17 year old kid in on national television, especially when he's going to be working with those people on the Idol Tour one way or the other.
I was impressed with the way he dealt with it, though. Selecting his "own" group, which he already knew was safe was a smart move. Still, it made me want to punch Seacrest in the nuts. |

First season of Idol? They've been doing this for a long time. Only contestant that I can remember actually selecting a group was George Huff who went to the side of the 3 'Divas' (Fantasia/Hudson/Latoya London) and didn't go to Stevens/Barino/Trias. After he went to the group, Ryan said "I said the top 3 George" Bo Bice started the next year by going to the middle of the 2 groups.

Hmm. Shows you how much attention I usually pay to the results show.
(Honestly. I'm really hit and miss with the results show. I usually end up checking here to find out who gets booted, or I just watch the last two or three minutes to see who's singing themselves out.) |

Kristy Lee is all about confidence. When she has it, she sings with a rich, in-key voice that country fans will be hearing on albums for a long time.
When she doesn't have it, she makes faces, looks uncomfortable and sounds pretty bad. When the competition started back in February, she was sick, and that threw her. She made it to the round of 12, barely. She was considered the weakest in the group, deservedly, at that time. About four weeks ago, she found her confidence and started sounding a lot better. There are long pieces of her last two performances that are as good as anything we've heard on the show this season. The confidence thing is crucial for her. At the start of her song this week, she had to dip into her lower register with a bit of a trill. She couldn't do it right, and, each time, made that familiar grimace. She knew instantly it was off, which is a sign that she will develop as a singer. Then she found that confidence once she was out of that lower register, and it was night and day. I don't know if she will mature as a person, as she seems awfully young for her age. But I could see her becoming a huge star if she works hard at this over time. |

Normally the dumbness makes them hotter but in the case of KLC I find her personality a huge turn off. I can't think of a more uninteresting and drab personality that she projects.

i dont think the fact that KLC is gone hurts her one bit...she was never going to win, but she got enough attention and showed what she was capable of becoming that I wont be a bit suprised when she "drops" a pop/country album...she was different enough from the rest of them that she didnt need to win to get a contract.
i will miss looking at her though. |

So this means Castro is going home next week, since its been boy/girl since we got to 12. Then, the ladies get picked off for 3 weeks until Archuleta wins... and half of America commits suicide.

Definitely. Although...Pickles may be dumb, but at least she's got personality.
Here's some KLC aftermath stuff... Kristy Lee Cook got engaged Wednesday night. So that’s some good news for her. Kristy was planning on singing “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” next week.

Yeah, I never found Pickles to be attractive at all. KLC is attractive, but not sexy (I still don't think so, even after she got better on the show). Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see her do well. Country seems to be the one genre that AI contestants succeed in regularly. Carrie Underwood, Pickles, Josh Gracin, and I think Phil Stacey has an album coming out soon, too.

Do you remember that opening dance she did when they introduced the top 24... I have a feeling KLC can be very sexy on stage and Idol was holding her back in that department (or maybe some other external factor was holding her back.) She is definitely attractive as well and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see her do well as a country artist.

KLC was sexy in her audition and then it was steadily downhill from there.

Of course I remember that. I also remember that Darrin Erstad hit .350 one year, too. I think what I've seen since both of those things occurred tells me a lot more about them than that one brief, shining moment in the sun. That said, I think she could definitely make money. I just don't think she's sexy, outside of a 4 second clip. Aside from her beauty, there's nothing alluring about her at all. The difference between her and, say, McPhee is like night and day. Although she went and married a guy as old as her dad, which drops her a few notches, but you know what I mean.

If AI producers didn't play a different clip of her (but not everyone else) when introducing the top 24 in future shows, I'd agree with you. Everyone else had their original clip, but she had a much tamer/lamer clip. I'm convinced they told her she was being too sexy for the show and to tone it down, and she just went WAY too far overboard in doing so. I guess we'll see in the next year once she is free of Idol's clutches.

It's possible. But I really can't believe she'd abandon that angle entirely, both in song choice and performance style throughout the season. I don't think she was holding back anything in those performances - I just don't think she can perform very well. But she can certainly do enough to sell a record, I'll give you that.

Oy... too do this to the contestants is just wrong. First Mariah, then Andrew Lloyd Weber and I think next week is Neil Diamond. (Although, I will give ALW credit though as he seemed relatively honest in his assessments of the singers)
Bottom 3 this week should be Brooke, Jason and either Carly or Syesha (just because someone has to be in the bottom 3) although, David A should be in the bottom 3 just based on the week. Brook or Jason should go, but they won't. It will probably be Carly or Syesha.

Castro or Brooke on this one...they were clearly the two dogs this week. I thought Castro was horrendous. Thought Syesha was once again good, but this week I thought she was great. David C. showed he can sing something different. Carly was very good as was David A. To me, it's between the two Davids with Syesha and Carly behind them.

yeah sadly I think that's the end for Brooke. I'd much rather see Jason or Syesha gone over her, but I can't see her overcoming that gaffe. I would put Carly in the bottom 3 with Jason and Brooke, but it will probably be Syesha again, though she doesn't deserve it this week.
I would have bet good money this week that David A would do Music of the Night, so I was very surprised by his contemporary spin on the song he did choose. Never thought David C would do Music of the Night or that he had been in musical theatre at some point. But that seems to be theme with him, very unpredictable song choices that he mostly does well with. |

Football Frontier rankings are posted for tonight. I'll take some heat for the Brooke ranking, but remember that during a normal week at this stage of the competition, she'd probably be near the bottom with that score.
http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/?p=250 Overall: The Idols tried their voices at acting this week, and, while those who lost themselves in the spirit of the week were generally mediocre-plus, one came out with one of the top performances of the entire season. Those who tritely stuck with the popification of the musical were left exposed as artless pretenders. Also, watch for some real football content on the Frontier this week. I've been working on a study of NFL officiating. The first three parts have been posted. |

I didn't think it was possible, but David Archuleta is making Doolittle look like she sang a different genre every week last year. That guy can only do one thing. I know he's good at it, but come on - enough is enough.
I thought Carly was bad - shouting once again, and the Aretha/Freedom version of JCS was yuck. I was actually singing Freedom along with the song. I was impressed that David Cook sang that in such a theatrical manner and pretty much pulled it off. Syesha was excellent, and I think she's safe, but too bad she got stuck singing first. Brooke and Castro were bad, but Castro was worse.

Mrs. E and I were also very impressed with David Cook's versatility and we both thought he was the clear best singer/performer of the night. Castro was horrible and should definitely go. Brooke should also be in the bottom 2 with either Carly or Syesha (just based on cumulative performances not to mention the dreaded 1 spot)

That's one of my frustrations with American Idol, the requirement that they sign stupidly different genres every week. Seriously, how many of these people are going to release an album that has that wide a range of songs in it? How many of them are going to sing 60s songs/opera/etc as a career?
Let them sing whatever they want each week imo and if they can't get people interested enough in them to keep voting for them after 12 weeks, that's why they should lose, not because they are required to sing out of their comfort zone. |
