Ryan just wants to be your everything. (oops, wrong Gibb)

[jlh]

I was thinking just now that I should have something else to talk about in this post other than AI and then I remembered that I used to watch a Magical Elves reality show on Wednesday night but I don't care about Shear Genius. Sad.

Anyway, tonight's show. Yay for stubbly Ryan!

• That group number SUCKED. What is with the forgetting that the Bee Gees did the great disco classics and playing nothing but midtempo bullshit? Where was Jive Talkin? Who doesn't want to hear Blake do that "doobedoobedoo, doobedoobedoo, doo doo doo doo doo doo" section? What the shit was that? Could their energy have been more lacking?
• Barry, however, had sounded better when he was singing with the contestants than when he sang tonight. Also, his teeth aren't fitting all that well. It's amazing he can still hit those notes, but I wish he'd done it on a more interesting song. I'm over the movie promos, also. And Ryan pretending to perve on girls is always creepy and unfortunate.
• The baby pictures were completely adorable. Kid!Blake = drummer from School of Rock. I'm just like Jordin, btw: I looked exactly the same as a baby. Maybe it's a whole tragic mulatto trait?
• Since they can't get the rights to the Beatles songs, and they had three girls and a boy, the entire pimpmercial didn't work. Only Blake looked right, and we could only really hear him, even though I think Sanjaya and Ryan Starr have permanently ruined that song for this show, so even that was a weird choice.

As for the elimination itself, it was the first time that everyone on the poll agreed on who was going home, and we were all right. The huddle was adorable, not the least because it was Blake's fine ass we all got to stare at. And it went pretty much as we all thought, with Jordin sooo safe, Melinda totally safe, Blake barely safe, Lakisha not safe at all.

Next week, if it's the same as the last two years, everyone sings three songs, one chosen by Clive (who screwed over Elliott last year), one chosen by a judge, and one chosen by the singer. But which singer will each judge choose to work with?[Poll #982079]

I was really, really, really grateful for that.

I'm so glad he makes his own trousers, because there are no jeans who could do justice to that booty. I DO want to thank his mother for a butt like that.

I'm just sayin'.

Wow, totally. Also, in many of the close-ups of the singers, I could see them forgetting the words - Blake and Lakisha in particular. Possibly they were just that nervous about the vote?

I really enjoyed Pink's performance. My son LOVED her - he thought she looked cool and that she rocked. :) Though, I thought she looked a little like she felt awkward, right after she finished singing. Then I read today that she was bumped from the Very Special Idol episode, so maybe being on last night felt like a kind of lame consolation prize?

By the way, a couple of weeks ago you mentioned dl-ing the new Maroon 5 song from iTunes and that you loved it, so I went and got it and I cannot stop listening to it, and I can't get it out of my head. <3

I liked Pink. She was taped earlier, though.

I saw that! OMG my love for that song. Seriously, I have walked for an hour with just that song on repeat play. I listened to Maroon 5 all day today. I can't wait for the record!

The best part of this week is that Jacob will be recapping. The recaplet is already very interesting http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a13081/

I especially liked the "Simon kisses his(Ryan's) ass all night." I didn't really see that, but I'd sure like to know why Jacob thinks so. :)

I KNOW. That's why I'm not writing that drabble until I read whatever the hell he was talking about.

But how did you feel about Couch Baron's special guest appearance?
