Idol results take two
May. 8th, 2008 10:10 amI have to admit, last night I was so worried about what was going to happen, and what had already been going on, regarding the elimination and a lot of other things, that I didn't really watch the show itself, but just checked in from watching Top Chef on the TIVO—sort of like watching it through my fingers. I'm watching it for the first time all the way through this morning actually.
"Reelin' In the Years" was cracktastic. I really wish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had blurbs on these songs—not that I don't love me some Steely Dan, but I'm not sure why this song changed rock. On top of that, I'm not sure why we didn't get to hear any of the many 90s songs that are on the list. What is with the classic rock Idol, seriously? Anyway, the choreography as usual was perverse, but why on earth did they give the line "after all the things we've done and seen you find another man" to Syesha, and then change "man" to "plan"? Just give the line to Cook and be done with it, sheesh.
Adam Levine sounded in good voice but why was the the band mixed so far back—was it just that only his vocal was live? Given the set up they must have taped them earlier, not live, unless they did the phone-in questions earlier—Nigel, please to be hiding production details better. Ryan coming out and shaking many hands, very Dick Clark—he seems sort of birdlike tonight, tiny with his little chest puffed out.
OMG BO. Seriously, if you don't love Bo I don't even want to hear it. I mean, he was even wearing flared brown leather pants. I love Ryan's old-man hands-in-pockets toe-tapping dance; he looks sooo dorky in the middle of the kids. And the man hug! Oh, Bo is so honest and awesome.
I said what I wanted to say about the elimination last night, so I'll leave that, except to say that s/he seemed really happy in hir sing out, so good on hir!
