We also got to witness three "live" performances during the results show from non-contestants. Paula sang her newest dance single, and I have to quote Stephen Colbert (he was referring to the music of Kanye West)... why buy her album? You can basically hear it for free! Just put a tin can to your ear and lean against a Pac-Man machine! Daughtery was not my style.
And although this is a pretty whiny post, I must continue with a final gripe: the No Doubt performance of "I'm Just a Girl". Man did I love my Tragic Kingdom CD... I listened to it until it skipped around every scratched track. All I can really say is that my heart broke as I listened to Gwen's new, no singing more like vibrating-rapping version of this gurl anthem. Sad day.
Obviously, ditto on Hokey Gokes. He's useless. Also, I've got a theory that it is Obama's fault that we have three white males in the top three. Voters have this post-racial America mindset like, "Oh, we've got a black president, so everything must be equal now. No need to be concerned about any type of diversity anymore." This is only partly tongue-in-cheek.
ReplyDeletePaula Abdul's performance was just embarrassing. I only watched about the first half of it before I had to FF. It was like watching Curb Your Enthusiasm. I was cringing because I was embarrassed on her behalf. I'm shuddering right now, just remembering it.
I actually enjoyed Daughtry. I liked him a lot when he was on the show. I probably would like his CD, but I don't really buy much music these days. He is a little bit of a cocky SOB, but I like the music.
And No Doubt. Well, I've never liked them live, because Gwen can't really sing that well live, but they were actually way better than I thought they would be. I mean, I had already resigned myself to her lack of singing ability, so all I could hope for was wackiness and high energy, and they delivered on that. This is in no way saying that I liked it or thought it was a good performance, just that I was prepared for her lack of vocals.
oh what fun! i didn't know you had this blog :) i will definitely enjoy reading it, though i have no clue as to what's going on in the entertainment world right now, with my head buried in school :(
ReplyDeleteGlad you're reading! My entertainment media consumption has definitely gone down during law school, but I anticipate a very entertainment heavy summer. :o) So, there will be lots to blog about.
