'American Idol' Recap: Night Full of Apologies

Well I'd say in general they're not so much weak as raw.  Some of them are still learning that just because you can hit the big notes doesn't mean you should through the whole song.  But they're all very young and to varying degrees inexperienced.  I tend to find the judge's comments almost entirely useless which is frustrating because I have a lot of respect for Steven Tyler as an artist and for JLo and think they both could be good judges and I think Randy was for years between Simon and Paula.  Jimmy is refreshing because it at least expresses an opinion that has some credibility, but I don't agree with him half the time no matter how adamant he is.  So aside from listening to my 70 year old mother who Always hates on Elise, at the time I'm left to form my own opinion(and later I can take a look on here and see what others think)

 

I mostly read though typos anyway though if I had to guess I'd say semi deliberate(when I make a typo and decide I like it that way so I'm not going to bother changing it)  I seem to recall you being a proponent of spell check so maybe just lazy?(hardly anyone is going to bother reading any of this anyway.

How could they accidentally have food poiosoning anyway?

Yeah it seems to have gone pretty quiet which seems to have been the case all yea but not last week.  I guess the Jessica save(and particularly the way it was done) was more controvertial and kept people posting through the week. 

 

Yes it's the brother of the other Skylar who Should be on the tonight show.

 

Yes, ideally people don't need shows like this and it would be good to think that talent wins out in the end, but despite all they have to go through just to reach the voting it's still a major shortcut over "doing it the old fashioned way" and they can get on TV in front of millions of people that's amazing for a kid just starting out(or on shows like The Voice and X-factor for someone for whatever reason just hasn't been able to break through.)

 

I have mixed feeling about pitchy.  Sometimes I actually agree with him and sometimes it seems completely made up.  I would tend to go with a less technical(and perhaps less fictitious) question of whether the singing is pleasing to the ear.

 

I was wondering if you'd pick up on that.  Armenian Idol is(I assume) fictitious, though a lot of these shows have versions in Britain and perhaps other countries though I tend  to doubt Armenia is one of them.  I doubt there's an Albanian Idol either.  Moe Sislak(the bartender on the Simpsons) was offered a judging job on American Idol.  He misheard and thought he(the judge talent scout) said Armenian Idol.  He was disappointed but he accepted anyway and joined Simon, Kara, Ellen, Randy, and (I think) Paula.

So then its the brother of the other Skylar who it looks like wont be singing on the Tonight Show all hour at the station breaks?

Got this all to ourselves, unlike last week.

Now they have it lower. The controversial ones don't seem to have pictures.

How do you know which number it is?(silly me I hadn't even noticed those tabs) 

 

That's a tough call, people have made it on their own for years without these shows, but there's no denying the huge shortcut in making it deep into one of these shows.  Ideally there's 2 components to making in the music business.  Talent and getting noticed(though some people skip the talent part)  For most people getting noticed is a serious grind and getting on tv and showing some talent is a major boon.  So they can always try and make it on their own and see if maybe the exposure has helped, but with American Idol's age limits the window can be pretty narrow.

My most controversial one is number sixty in that and I got a 9-8 on it. I always wonder why they would need another year or actually two years after they show up to try out if they need this to get famous. And I wrote down the names of some singers who had fans like Nick Boddington. I wonder if they'll be back next year. Or if they're that good could they make it on their own.

And you know the singers have reasons for looking so gloomy. The food poisoning. The guy who's maybe trying to reform. His singing wasn't good, he was very screechy, so I guess it was just to give him and the listeners a bad time. And people complained a lot about the judges dropping singers they liked. Yet all these people do is keep hating on the brave singers for looking angry and it isn't from getting voted off. Maybe it's because they suffered from food poisoning.

And I still don't know why everyone had to miss that performance or give me thumbs down. I will discuss everything if I ever get any feedback. So, there was a big electricity shortage in California. I think I heard it blamed on people in Texas. So Arnold went on with Leno and announced a recall election. There were I think a hundred candidates or so, Republican and Democrat and otherwise, including Arianna Huffington, the ex-wife of the guy that spent millions to try to get into the senate instead of Dianne Feinstein. They had to vote for Arnold because the lieutenant governor was named Bustamante and they said no way, Jose. And no way Gray.
