The Top 12: Just Some Quick Thoughts

So I'm still a little burnt-out from writing my Idol Epic over the weekend and because of that I will just be giving a few quick thoughts on last night's performance.
  • "Man, they really laid it down man." Randy said this about Sir Paul MCcartney and effing John Lennon. Does that seem just a little silly to anyone else? He's talking about, arguably, the greatest songwriting duo of all time as if they're an Idol contestant who just finished a rockin' rendition of "Midnight Train to Georgia." You can't talk about The Beatles in the same way you talk about Clay Aiken, Randy! You just can't.
  • Does Amanda Overmyer wear her hooker make-up and Elvira hair everywhere?! Idol followed Amanda on one of her "respiratory nursing" trips and bitch had her face on. "Are you breathing OK", Amanda angrily demanded to know of the unsuspecting elderly patient, who could have only been thinking, "Why is Zombie-Priscillia-Presley concerned about my respiratory health?"
  • I thought Chikezie was great in the same way I thought Taylor Hicks was great.
  • I thought David Cook destroyed my favorite Beatles' song. Seriously, I actually watched it again after Simon was so effusive to see if I had been wrong...I'm sticking with my guns on this. Loved his song last week, thought this was a musical abortion
  • Kristy Lee Cook was not just awful, she was hilariously awful. Liz's description of that song is EXACTLY what I was thinking. It reminded me of that episode of Saved By The Bell when they join the glee club and suck so they lip sync over a different pre-recorded chorus. But then the tape messes up and they have to sing really fast like chipmunks. Yeah, it was just like that.
Lat night I enjoyed the performances of Brooke White, Carly Smithson, Michael Johns (surprisingly), and I guess Amanda Overmyer, and Jason Castro.

I'm actually thinking someone boring and NOT someone awful will be going home tonight. I am predicting the exit of Ms. Syesha Mercado who will be in the bottom 2 with D-Nandez. Yes, I do think Kristy Lee will live to see another week, hopefully it'll be Mariah Carey night and she can turn "Vision of Love" into a country ho-down!
