I Don't Want to Spoil the Party … but someone has to go.

[jlh]

Oh, elimination show, you gave me everything I want. A medley, a pimpmercial, an inexplicable performance, and a drawn-out bottom three—plus, even more Rymon!

I wonder what crappy theme we dodged for another week of the Beatles? I wonder if anyone gave small David an ipod full of the Lennon/McCartney catalog?

I love the medleys, as you know. LOVE THEM. And what I really love about this one is the really horrible choreography. Can't they put Paula to work on this shit? I felt like I was watching the opening of the Miss USA pageant. By the screaming in the audience it's all about David Cook and Jason Castro isn't it?

As for the pimpmercial, I love me some Cake, but you don't actually sing those songs, do you? So that was really weird.

Oh, Ryan and Simon, you're so adorable, blushing like that about that question. Ryan is made of win, or as dollsome says, he wins everything there is to be won.

In my little heart I wish that Kat and Elliott were singing their song they did for Randy, for reasons I can't disclose, but I'll take Kat very nicely singing "Something" and apparently winking at Simon. But I feel that appearing with Foster, not a good sign, though it's nice that she'll be recording again, at least? Also I wish her skirt had been a little longer and I could have done without the effects on her voice at the end. But at least George doesn't have to feel left out.

It was totally the right bottom three, and apparently America has decided that cheesy is even worse than boring—though boring, still worse than bad. (I guess they had to stretch a LOT if they could get through all that business AND extensive movie pimpage AND have time for three sing-outs, but I don't think Fox has a half hour show to pair with them right now.) I worry that Kristy Lee will be the singer of mysterious longevity. Ah well. locumtenens, mahoni, ali_granger and axis2cluster_b all get cookies as we say good bye, cheesy David Hernandez.

The caller's quasi-skipped "you are sexy" comment to Simon owned, hardcore. And the look on his face to Ryan was so very "you did that on purpose". But -wow- was there a lot of filler. Is this normal?

[jlh.livejournal.com]

When the results are an hour, yeah, this much filler is normal. It's more up to Fox than anyone else, and it can be a little random how long the show is. But they only actually need a half an hour to do the results.

OMG, I was screaming at the horrible, horrible choreography. Let's make Jason Castro run needlessly across the stage to stand on the stair and sing at this camera! And then let's have everyone freeze weirdly and awkwardly! Wheeeeeeeeee!

[jlh.livejournal.com]

And not know when they're supposed to step touch and when they're supposed to just stand! And have people scrambling to find their mark and/or light!

That was a my favorite moment in a host of ridiculous moments. It was like choreography inspired by that moment in Grease where the cameras roll and the kids all rush to them and start waving.

I said the EXACT same thing to honestys_easy right before the show started tonight. *sigh* It should have been her night but I think David H suffered from being to middle of the road, not good enough to make people vote for him, not bad enough to have people freak out that they needed to save him. Happens all the time.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

And as Ari said, she's the only one around to pick up the sizable country vote. Whatever, if she doesn't become Sanjaya then it doesn't really matter much to me—by which I mean, notorious for not doing well. I fear that David H wouldn't have done much that would be interesting anyway.

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

I think she's a little too bland as yet to be Sanjaya. He was a cute boy--I don't know if it'll be as...whatever the enjoyment of Sanjaya was...with a blandly pretty girl, you know? There's something meaner about it with a girl--I think it would seem too much like a junior high gang up.

I think there might have been a little of that because it was such a train wreck I'll bet some people thought "Well, if she did that every week that would be really funny." It was the difference between just sucking and sucking in a totally unexpected and bizarre way.

i am BEYOND ftf this season 'cos i've managed to miss every rymon moment of note :( hopefully kinds folks at flaming_potato will continue to upload!

[jlh.livejournal.com]

ftf? managed to miss? And yeah, I'm sure that this week in rymon will keep going, because it is MADE OF AWESOME.

But my god, like, there's rymon in almost every segment of that show now. I love them.

[consumedbywords.livejournal.com]

Don't worry! I've got This Week in Rymon about half done. I'm going to try to get it posted sometime tomorrow.

[akari-hayashi.livejournal.com]

I am upset. David H is good! But damn... I am so sure they are trying to pull Baby David down. :/ One week is not enough, they want two??

[ziggy1278.livejournal.com]

At first I was kinda bummed for David A too, but then it hit me... it's not like they stuck him with "The Complete Milli Vanilli". I mean if you can't pick a winner out of the Beatles catalog, maybe you just need to goooo.

[akari-hayashi.livejournal.com]

Well, he did sang Imagine well which is half a Beatles song? Lol. I just don't like another Beatles week, because I thought it will just give him more pressure to do well this time, since he flopped. It could be a blessing or a even worse disaster.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

No, I think that whether he pulls himself together or not has very little to do with the theme. He either can handle the pressure and the varying themes or he can't, and that's the whole point of the show. And clearly, clearly the powers that be want him to win this show, because they pimp him so much, so I really don't think they're trying to pull him down in any way. And Z's right—he should be able to find a good song in there. I think he just panicked.

[ziggy1278.livejournal.com]

Three singouts = awful.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I fast forwarded through them and the Horton pimpage and the "how their lives have changed" package so it took me about 20 minutes to watch the show.

[cricketnyc.livejournal.com]

Aww, now David H can embark on a new career- celine dion impersonator. While I liked his tone, the weird english-as-second-language-quebecquoise-eventhoughhe'snotfromCanada pronunciations made me craaaazy.

Also, I realized who Aussie Michael reminds me of. With the political hair in the pimpmercial, and the body movement when he starts the line stepping forward with their signs especially, he totally looked like Michael Ian Black. I called the boy in from the other room to confirm and he agreed. Or maybe we're both insane.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

It's true, except for his weird wide mouth and thick lips and strange slightly crazy grin. He's so off putting in such subtle ways.

Mmmmm, cookie.
