LIVE BLOGGING: American Idol Disco Night (4/21/09)

Another week, another episode of American Idol to live blog! I’m Jillian Madison. Tonight, the top 7 performers will be singing God-awful Disco songs that no one wants to hear. Last week, the idiotic judges wasted their moronic save on Matt Giraud. $50 bucks says he’ll be gone tomorrow night, like he should have been last week. Aaaand, now that you’re all caught up, let’s get down to business.
Lil Rounds is up first with Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman”. She’s wearing a black spandex onesie that’s showcasing every unfortunate ounce of her cellulite. The performance was boring, and Simon said he thought it would be her last performance on Idol. Actually, I’d like to suggest we Americans just send ALL of these poor bastards home. This is the least talented, least interesting crop of people that have taken the Idol stage in the entire history of the show. Rating: 4/10.
Kris Allen is up next, singing “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer. Ryan asked him why he chose that song, and he said “because it’s a story about a woman.” WOW, REALLY? Jesus. Thanks for clearing that up, you moron. (Is it me, or does he look and sound dumber every week?) He’s on stage with his guitar, standing next to some dude with bongos, and I hardly recognize the song at all. The arrangement is bad, and sounds like something you’d hear in Starbucks while you’re waiting for your overpriced cup of coffee. And hold the phone, Paula Abdul just spilled the beans and told everybody that Kris Allen shops for clothes in the WOMEN’S DEPARTMENT. Sounds about right! Rating: 5/10.
Danny Gokey is singing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, and it’s terrrrrrible. This performance screams “eight o’clock cabaret show on the Lido deck” and no one will remember it in the morning. How many more weeks is this loser going to keep embarrassing himself on our televisions? He’s not a star. He belongs back home in Wisconsin, tipping cows and singing hymns at church functions. Can’t stand him. Rating: 3/10.
While Allison Irahetta is singing “Hot Stuff,” I’m wondering exactly how many gallons of Crisco the Idol wardrobe crew had to put on her body to slide her into that black pleather dress. This girl sounds exactly the same every week, whether she’s singing disco or R&B or a children’s rhyme. The judges are grooming her for the semi-finals, but let’s face it: she’s only where she is on the show because everyone else sucks so badly. Rating: 4/10.
Adam Lambert is singing “If I Can’t Have You” from Saturday Night Fever, and it’s one of the most boring, most self indulgent performance in the history of the show. Bottom line: Adam Lambert is overrated. His voice is mediocre at best. And frankly, he needs to cut his disgusting fauxhawk, because he’s starting to look like KD Lang. Rating: 1/10.
Matt Giraud is singing “Staying Alive” and, wow, it’s just laughably bad. America voted him off the show last week, and they’ll do it again this week. He’s grunting, riffing, and moaning, and I think this is probably his worst performance on the Idol stage. Simon agreed with me and called it “desperate and unoriginal.” Rating: 2/10.
Finally, Anoop is singing “Dim All The Lights.” He’s wearing his grandfather’s suit, and a bright pink Pepto Bismol sweater vest he borrowed from Paris Hilton. The arrangement? Weak. The vocals? Pitchy. The performance? Corny and boring. Simon called it “mediocre at best” – and that’s being kind. Rating: 3/10.
Let’s be honest – this entire episode SUCKED. There were no stand-out performances, and these seven contestants are dull and boring. The best part? Ryan Seacrest telling Anoop he looked like “Groucho Marx with his eyebrows” after his performance. Priceless.
As usual, we’ll bring you the results as soon as they go down tomorrow night. See you then!
WOOT! Ok just because Lil lost some much needed weight, does NOT entitle her to wear SPANDEX. EWWWW
Lil’s mom looks like she is going to HOST a beatdown. Seriously. BEATDOWN old school, wooden spoon, belts and all.
honestly i don’t get why they are hating on her so much. she’s no worse than any of the others. really.
And here we are again. Another dreaded HOUR of hell with my GF.
‘ROUNDS is alot better than Matt and GOKEY. I mean lets just be real folks…they pick who they want in the finals and GROOM the schmucky American Public to BUY into their opinions.
I think Kris, Adam and Allison will be in the finals together. Matt and Lil are GONE after tomorrow. And America’s love affair with closeted gay man Gokey is coming to an end.
Dear Kris,
This song is not working for you. At all.
Truly yours,
The American Public.
I hated Kris’ song choice. WHOA.
WAIT…did you see Kris’ wife? She keeps getting pushed to the back of the seating arrangements each week. She didnt look pleased. Yet she never looks pleased when he is on stage. She is VERY jealous. At least I have heard here in NY.
Kris is wearing a Simon Cowell shirt.
The show is OVER rushed this week. Its kinda funny.
Id rather be listening to Alexis Grace than ROUNDS
Argh! My ears are bleeding once again! This must mean it’s Tuesday and the girls are watching AI…
Disco was a poor excuse for music in its time, and now they are forcing this talentless ass hats to sing it. Lil Mounds was hideous, and I can’t say more than that, and Kris, well, it’s obvious he was inspired by A(hole) Glambert “working hard for the money”. I’m actually surprised they didn’t get in a knock down fight over that song, I thought for sure A(hole) would want to sing it.
Paula’s extended comments on Simon’s choice of under garments was interesting. La Pearla? Really Simon? Does it make you feel good “all over”, or is it for the benefit of Ryan Seamanchest and/or A(hole) Galmbert?
What a mess, and it just keeps getting “better”….better is in quotes!
PaulE
hate him. hated his performance.
adam will probably reprise his ‘play that funky music’ shitfest
Danny Goat(se) is amazingly talentless. He sounds so much like Michael McDonald with a nasal passage problem it is hilarious!
Do any of these ass hats have an original bone in their body? Oh, I think A(hole) has had a lot of bones in (and out) of his body…
Goat(se) needs to shave, that look is so retarded and so over. He’s about as original as Randy Jackson’s “Dawg”, which is also annoying.
Crediting them for singing karaoke, for not being original, and for being over hyped and ridiculous, it’s so pathetic…
Danny is pretty much a loser PLUS David Cook.
Paula said he has a sexy voice, WHAT? it was so cabaret.
Chin Dent…I think you may be correct, but luckily I didn’t have the “opportunity” to hear it the first time. I can only imagine the screeching and squealing that will be coming out of him. Does A(hole) sing through his anal sphincter?
Goat(se) just made the “Goat.se” symbol, he KNOWS what he is!!!!
Just for fun, count the rolls on Allison! The clothes she is wearing, is like an inner tube.
If she was just a little older, I’d tap it though…
PaulE –yes good, nice.
As much as I hate this show, the only person Id like to see take the prize is Allison.
Goat(se) was amazingly, amusingly, and as usual…HORRRRRIBLLLLLLE.
OH YES, i agree that outfit is insanely DISGUSTING. –dont get me wrong.
Allison is kinda nast, like Brooklyn or the 6 train NAST
Hey, I thought Gokey was great! He is from my hometown.
whats almost as bad as this show is that BK commerical. SQUARE BUTTS
Having Goat(se) from your home town speaks volumes about you 454. You obviously have a lot in common!
adam is so full of shit
A(hole) looks like a character from a WII! What a freaking queen, and while I am NOT homophobic, I am A(hole) phobic.
He lookis like he is going to Iowa to marry his “life partner”, which is probably another character from Nintendo’s WII!
Wait, is this BROADWAY??? The ASSHOLE LAMBERT SHOW? or American Idol.
hahah oh no here come the cats in heat!
Shit guys!!! Thats not ADAM LAMBERT its KD LANG…DUH!
PaulE –he looks like a gay woman.
The crowd goes wild when A(hole) screams! What a poor sampling of American culture! I go wild when he screams too, wild with pain!
What a waste of human flesh. If he is performing on Broadway, he should go back, he should go away, FAR FAR away.
Flush him so we can get rid of the turd in the punch bowl!
He’s been raiding KD Lang’s closet for weeks!
More dick sucking for Adam, compliments of Cara, Paula, and Randy.
God his doughy makeupped face makes me dry heave.
this season is wretched. Adam and Gokey single handedly ruined it for me
I kind of like KD Lang’s music, but I can’t stand that A(hole). The pancake makeup is put on with a trowel, he is stoned (or stupid) and I could not believe he found a way to screech in that song!
This is horrible, and Michael Orland came up his what? I think he said Michael Orland came up his bung hole, but arranged his hair using the “styling gel” from his “special” dispenser. (Think “What About Mary” or whatever that movie was)….
HIDEOUS!
Jill, to save your soul you better rate LAMBUTT pretty low.
Someone in my office dowloaded Matt’s performance last week. I didnt speak to her for 2 days.
Matt only hopes he could stay alive on AI.
BYE BYE MATTTTT!!
going to check if adam has yet ended up on http://menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com/
Adam needs to be sent to the “men who look like old lesbians” blog.
Matt, your Timberfake act makes you suck even more than usual!
I cant believe we still have to listen to ANOOP.
lol anoop trying to be sexy
I can’t believe we listen to any of this crap.
Matt’s mole was singing this week…it’s taking over!
What’s with the beards? Are they trying to make themselves easy to identify for A(hole) Glambert? It appears that the men are all wearing the “5:00 Shadow”, apparently because Glamberina likes smooth boys, so they are working on keeping him away, or it’s because they tickle his taint with the fuzz…
Anoop thinks he is great, but I think someone needs to tell him his friends lied to him, and let him know he sucks.
Anoop is horrid tonight, same as the last few weeks. Who dressed him in that horrible SEARS ROBUCK suit. –This song is horrible DIM THE LIGHTS…how about hit the MUTE.
ewwwww facial hair.
PaulE…I hate Anoop more than anyone, hes pompous and maybe he and GOKEY and LAMBURP are a three some.
Paula likes his teeth. His teeth look like CHICKLETS.
shits over…go to bed.
Saul, bad dreams after seeing these lame twenty-somethings. Time for a stuff drink.
AhPoop trying to be sexy is like Simon trying to be heterosexual! Neither has a chance! The new woman judge (I don’t know her name) hasn’t had an original thought all season. She just mimics the others words, so she must be a parrot.
AhPoop needs to go back to the frat house, get his education because he will NEVER make it in music.
He’s attempting to look like Don Johnson, or is it Don’s Johnson? Whichever, he is as hideous as the others. Check You Tube to see AhPoop fisting “Glamberina”…and Goat(se) applying the lube while Matt’s Mole is in his pee hole and Kris is getting the strap on from Lil. Allison is innocent, she has school, so she only gets the see the pictures. Simon got to clean up, with his tongue!
Sorry, that mental picture may stunt your growth….
Thank Gawd that tomorrow TWO of these turds go home, or where ever it is that talentless people go to hang out, maybe Nashville?
It will be a joy to watch two people getting depressed enough to take their own lives, if only Glambert would be so kind as to take his….
Until tomorrow, we have peace and quiet!
ahahah PaulE you crack me up!
I hate y’all(copied from Anoop) who hate Anoop..Don’t you realize he really is cute?!?
Okay, so like I’m a mega Adam Lambert fan but tonight my faves were Matt and then Lil. After that, major train wreck. Well not Adam. He sung beautifully tonight but I was bored. Anoop. Same story. Kris, what on earth happened? And Allison, sounded like an animal in pain – in truth, she should be euthanised after murdering that Donna Summer classic. Oh and Danny, it was nice to see him smile but he sounded like a wedding singer – and not a good one.
Beech, I like you and I respect your comment. You’re a fan of Lambert, and yet you have the ability to admit tonight was not one of his best performances. Thank you for not being one of those obnoxious “Adam can do no wrong” fans – whom only serve to add more fuel to the Adam-hating fire.
We all have had bad days, right? But OMG, I can’t believe how tone deaf these wannabe idols and the judges are this season! I hope like H-E double hockey sticks Glamboy Adam , Goatboy Danny & Moleboy Matt are sent packing VERY SOON! No I donmt have to watch this excruciating crap, but gee I wouldn’t want to miss out on seeing which ONE of the untalented will prevail. Besides, this screeching they do on AI covers up the neighbor dogs howling. YES, the poor thing howls from the time American Idol begins until it ends. Do you suppose the dog is trying to tell us all something?
Alex, thanks. I still think he can and should win but being a fan should not make you blind or deaf. Tonight was not the best of his performances and the obsequiousness (blind devotion?) of the judges (and, perhaps, the more obsessive fans) towards him is off-putting. I wish Paula would sleep with the guy and get it over and done with. I also find it difficult to reconcile Simon’s praises of the man when he condemns that of a similar artist – Mika. And Kara & Randy – is there an echo in that studio? Anyway, Kara likes Miley Cyrus – so I’m guessing that an endorsement by her is not really an endorsement of the man’s talent. And Randy is a good advertisement for gastric banding but not much else. I just hope that the American voting public vote for the people they think they would want to buy CDs from. Oh, and turning a disco song into a song to use as background music for a candlelight dinner is not “artistry” Kara. It does not make something “current”. It just makes it boring. And I wish they would lay off Lil. The woman pisses me off too but the poor thing is obviously stressed. She must have lost about 100 pounds already. Maybe I should enter AI. It’s better than Jenny Craig!
I couldn’t stop staring at the disgusting mustache on Anoop’s face. Gross.
Why do the judges keep raving about how this is the “best talenet ever” on this season of AI. Frankly it is one of the worst. And to criticise only some performances as being “karaoke” is absurd…the whole concept of the show is karoake! but lets look at whos left
1. Lil: Ironically not as bad as the judges make her out to be. She is no worse than any of the others, yet the judges hate her more. Not sure why.
2. Matt: Whatever…Justin Timberlake with moles
3. Danny Dorkey: Overrated dork. Would appeal to old ladies in a nursing home.
4. Glamber: The man loves himself. Too screechy.
5. Allison: Probably the best singer of the bunch…but her mother annoys me. Plus there is something unlikeable about her…can’t put my finger on it.
6. Kris: Sorry dude, you suck. Your weird facial expressions are just not worth putting up with.
7. Anoop: Sorry dude, I will call you when my computer breaks down and need someone from IT to fix it. You can hum quietly while you fix my hard drive or something. Seriously, you have ) star quality.
WoW I hope Lil dosen’t get sent home, cause looking at that a$$ is the only reason i’m watching this season! PoW!!!!
These are the songs of my time. Those morons last night totally disrespected every song they performed. Disco is fast. You can dance to it. YOU DON’T SLOW IT DOWN!!!! I need therapy after listening to that crap last night.
“If I Can’t Have You” is a great song with a great melody. To gut the melody out of it is unforgivable.
Craterface is a talentless hump.
why does adam scream like his balls are in a vise
OMG!! Adam Does look like KD Lang. So this explains why all the girls like him, the are all lesbians!
Anoop…YOU WERE THE BEST!..Peace..
@KickAdamAss hephep hooray!! We both liked Anoop and hated Adam..hoothoot to all Adam haters!!! Anoop..YOU WERE THE BEST!!
may anoop have jennifer hudson’s career (oscar and grammy), who finished seventh on idol and not fantasia’s career (doing a reality show on VH-1)and she won. may anoop be more like daughtry (multiplatinum recording artist and opened for bon jovi), who finished fourth, then taylor hicks who won the whole thing and was dropped by his label and released his second album independently. heck, even kellie pickler, who finished sixth taylor’s year, is better off than taylor.
a small consolation, but maybe it’s better if idol is no longer crushing anoop’s spirits and he can regroup.
Ok so I take it you guys hate idol?? Why sit around and talk about how much you hate it? Go out and do something productive like plant a tree or read a book you freaks. I don’t care who you are, Adam, Danny, and Kris CAN sing. I admit the others are iffy. Can’t you just leave it alone? If you don’t like what’s on, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!!!! There’s only 1000 more things to watch in that time slot. I’m so sick of your type knocking everything you don’t agree with. I’m sure some of you will bash me for this but I don’t care. It’s an entertaining show and most of us LOVE it. So please shut up! IDOL ROCKS!!!!!!
And the only reason I’m even on this stupid website is because I wanted to see what types of people actually put time and effort into things like this. It’s exactly what I suspected. Shocking…….
Anybody hear a tiny ass violin playing for some whiny ass bitches?
Yea! It’s people like you’s who make America so disfunctional! Go Adam! =D
If you love Idol so much, why come to a website called “We Hate Idol”?
I TOTALLY agree with Meg but apparently everybody gets all defensive when the truth comes out..i definately agree that Adam didn’t do his best but he’s is really good, and hopefully he’ll pick a song that will knock your socks off so all you haters can shut the hell up… even tho you guys hate people who tell the truth i don’t care i think Allison and Adam will be one of the ones that will win.
Losers, all of you. Don’t watch it if you hate it. Morons, if you have an hour of your life to voluntarily spend doing something that you loath then there is certainly something wrong with you. Adam is amazing you all can SUCK IT. Your jealous, and I bet some of you just hate on these people so for once you can feel accepted somewhere, anywhere. What lowlifes.
Also, at “KickAdamsAss” (shit painful to write cause that’s just stupid) first comment, he “screams” in tune. So just shut the hell up. retard.
I know this drives you crazy and keeps you up at night, nikki. Psycho much?
ahahahaha I love Internet fights; nothing ever gets accomplished.
I love even more people who come on this site and think they’ll actually change anyone’s mind. Nikki, I now see the light of day!! Adam IS truly great and not some egocentric overrated asshole with greasy skin and a pitted face!! Thank you SO MUCH for helping me!!
:)
Nikki-Losers, all of you. Don’t watch it if you hate it. Morons, if you have an hour of your life to voluntarily spend doing something that you loath then there is certainly something wrong with you.
