So the biggest thing, I feel, about the AI results show was Paula's video. She looked awesome, and it's fantastic to see her dancing again. I'm not sure what that little end frame with the four of them was about, though.
I'd forgotten how much I love the crappy ridiculous medleys, and they're even better when there's 24 people wandering around the stage; it's like the opening number of a Miss America pageant. That said, ugh, "Spanish Harlem" remains an insipid little song, doesn't it?
Now for the auf'd:
Garrett: Wow, that was a little harsh, let's just pull you out and get you out of here. I mean, I didn't care about him at all, but yeah, the semis are kind of abrupt.
Amy: Well, everyone knew that would happen. I don't have a lot to say about her either.
Joanne: I'm sad, but she didn't perform well, and as she said herself during Hollywood week, America expects a curvy black girl to be, well, LaKisha, and she wasn't. If she'd been awesome she could have overcome that, but she wasn't.
Colton: I know this is controversial, and there are plenty that were worse than him—Jason Y, Luke, Chikeze, even Danny—but I don't think he ever would have made it to the finals.
honestys_easy had a great analysis of the splitting of the "tiny gay boy" vote that Garrett and Colton lost, and Danny won, and that David A took votes away from, and I totally agree. I thought Simon was harsh because Colton seems made for Broadway, and I was glad to hear him say on Ryan's radio show that he's headed this way next. He has "replacement cast of Spring Awakening" written all over him.
Thoughts?
