American Idol Interlude: What’s Up With the Crying Girl?
You know how I am, I just love me some American Idol, and this week didn’t disappoint. I was pretty on board with most of the performances, which was a nice change. But why all the focus on the crying girl? And what was she freaking out about? I swear, you’d think Ryan Seacrest had killed her dog or something, because she was in hysterics pretty much the whole night.
And AI and So You Think You Can Dance producer Nigel Lythgoe, who was sitting behind her, looked less and less amused as the night went on. Who could blame him? I was sitting at home with my DVR and even I wanted to smack her. Get a grip, kiddo. It wasn’t that bad.
Except for Sanjaya, of course.
He was terrible, as per the norm, but at least we could hear him this week. That’s always a nice change. Except somehow not, because he’s just not good, and now he’s not good but loud and clear. It was nice to see him make an effort to actually perform, but the bottom line is that he simply does not belong in this competition. And despite what they’re saying over at Reality TV Calendar, I don’t think little Ashley’s hysterics are going to be enough to save him, set-up or not. We could see her crying solidly throughout the episode, and her crying harder during Sanjaya’s performance did indeed say it all, as Simon pointed out.
Haley Scarnato is another one who I think is on her way out the door. I hope she is, at least — if she does that “Stop in the Name of Love”/”Yessssss” hand motion one more time, or throws her right hand up like she’s found Jeeeeezus in a gospel church in the deep South, I’m going to have to beat her with her microphone. She has an okay voice — a not-bad voice, even — but she needs some new moves.
And speaking of needing new moves, Blake, I know you’re my boyfriend this season and all, but baby, the I’m-so-hip thing is getting old. You don’t look as though you’re enjoying it anymore, and I have to be honest, neither am I. Just sing it straight, maybe without any oh-so-cool dance moves (or maybe with just a few less), and at least pretend to smile. You’re one of the best ones, but you’re losing my support. I know you can do better.
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to the results show tonight. Who do you think is going down?
