Another week, another episode of American Idol! Tonight, the top 7 performers will be singing songs from movies. Quentin Tarantino, one of my favorite filmmakers, will be the guest mentor. I’m Jillian Madison and I’ll be serving up tonight’s live-blogging goodness. Now let’s do this!
8:06: We’re now getting Quentin Tarantino’s entire life history. I thought this was American Idol, not an episode of E! True Hollywood Story.
8:08: Finally! Allison Irahetta is singing “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” from Aerosmith (aka, one of my top 3 most hated songs of all time). The performance is really boring and safe. Even worse, her wardrobe is hideous. Girlfriend is wearing an oversized black art smock, with a pair of rejected pants from Avril Lavigne’s Abbey Dawn clothing line. The judges liked her performance, and Simon called her the “girl’s only hope left in the competition.” That’s not saying much, considering the only other girls in the competition are Lil’ and ADAM. Rating: 5/10.

Anoop is next, singing “Everything I Do I Do It For You” by Bryan Adams. Quentin told him to “rough it up” (translation: he sounds like a pussy). Why is his upper lip sweating so badly? Why are his eyebrows thicker than the rose bushes in my grandmother’s back yard? Why am I so bored? Ryan asked him who he was thinking of while singing the song, and he said he “couldn’t say.” Oh, be honest, Anoop. It was Adam Lambert, wasn’t it. Rating: 5/10.
Speaking of the devil, Adam Glambert is up next, singing “Born To Be Wild” from the movie Easy Rider (another one of my most hated songs. Lucky me.) And surprise, it’s more self indulgence and screaching and guyliner from Adam! This week, he looks like a Munster, complete with black painted fingernails that went out of style in 1992. And sadly for Adam, the 92 gallons of foundation on his face isn’t covering up his cratered skin – it’s accentuating it. Vocally, even the most die-hard Glambert fans will have to admit this is easily one of his worst performances so far. Simon agreed, and thankfully didn’t kiss his ass. Bottom line: how many more weeks will we have to watch this tool running around on stage, screaming like a bitch whose balls are being squeezed in a vise? Kill me now. Rating: 1/10.

8:30: Matt Girard is singing “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman” by Bryan Adams (officially one of the corniest songs of all time). Somehow, Matt’s rendition is even WORSE than the original. He’s off pitch, his timing is off, and his riffs sound out of place in a song like this. It’s like trying to riff Mary Had A Little Lamb. You can’t. It just comes out sounding retarded. The judges didn’t like it, either. Randy agreed with me that you just “can’t do a lot of stuff with a song like that.” Rating: 3/10.
(Random note: IS IT ME OR IS THIS ONE OF THE MOST BORING EPISODES OF IDOL EVER???)
Gross Gokey is up next. He’s singing “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie. Wow. Apparently, it’s CORNY ASSED DENTIST’S OFFICE MUSIC NIGHT on American Idol. There’s a freakin’ HARP on stage with him for Christ’s sake. Atrocious. Piss poor song choice. Awful arrangement. Judges hated it. Go the hell home, Danny. Rating: 3/10.

(Question: What the hell is wrong with Quentin? Does he have ADD? Why is there a huge scab on his knuckle? And why is he wearing PLATFORM SNEAKERS like he’s Stevie Nicks? Inquiring minds need to know.)
Kris Allen is singing some song I’ve never heard of called “Falling Slowly.” Wow. And I thought Danny Gokey’s performance was boring? I literally have nothing to say. Wake me up when he go-goes. Randy Jackson hated it, Kara Dioguardi loved it, and I officially need some No-Doz. Rating: 3/10.
Lil Rounds is the last performer (finally) and she’s singing “The Rose” by Bette Midler – thus completing the night of music to get dental work by. She can sing, and she sounds good, but it’s still THE ROSE and I’m not 74 years old. Simon slammed her performance. What else is new. Rating: 5/10.
And that’s it! We’ll bring you the results as soon as they go down tomorrow night. G’night!
