Halos and Horns!

For the first time on American Idol, Country night was worth watching. It took a legend like Miss Dolly Parton to bring out the best in country. Having said that Country night was not without those that sang with Halos and those that sang with Horns.

The show opens and Ryan delivers an April fools prank, introduces American Idol and dumb, dumber and dumbest. However, Ryan introduced Randy Jackson as the legendary Randy Jackson. I do not know if this was Ryan’s idea of a further prank or that he just wanted to get under Simons’s skin. I think the latter prevailed and Ryan successfully did get under Simon’s skin.

 

 

Simon seemed to be in grim mood. Ryan should have introduced him as Simon Scowl. What is the matter Simon did you get up on the wrong side of the bed, has life got you down, depressed, or did you finally realize you need an overhaul on your wardrobe and beanie haircut. Speaking of haircuts Ryan, while you did look dapper I need to ask what is that lump on the top front of your head! Did you have a fight with your hairbrush or what! If you did your hairbrush won the battle.

 

 

 

 

 

The competitors who sang with Halos were. Carly Smithson delivered “Here you come again” beautifully and with a golden voice.  Simon of course had to make her perfect performance into mincemeat. He stated that he did not know who was dressing her but!! she needed to do something about it. Excuse me Simon; I beg to differ here for a couple of reasons. First you are the one that just recently bragged to the media about how much you are worth. Since you have so much money you could afford to spruce up your drab, uninspiring wardrobe. In Carly’s case she lives according to her financial budget. When are you going to fathom that not everyone you meet have money! I really think that was a low blow and quite crass on Simon’s part. He could not find fault with her performance so he had to find fault with her attire. Hey Simon you the man and you got millions of dollars, you can very well afford to dress yourself better.

David Scott- The next person singing with his halo on was David Scott. As usual David brought it, he never falters, never disappoints. David gave a pure gold and solid performance. ( Last night I had this in my article, but the net was glitching, somehow my impression of David was elminated). Was not done intentionally. David can blow my  appreciation for his steady and unwavering performances has not faltered.

The next performer that sang with a Halo was David Archuleta; the kid brought it home, and sang ” Smokey Mountain Memories: like gangbusters. David gave an outstanding performance. I thought it was hysterical when I heard a young girl scream out to David “I love you”! Welcome to fame David.

Syesha Mercado gave a copasetic wonderful performance singing ” I will always love you”. Once more Simon wanted to water down the great performance she gave. Simon can you explain to all of us how for years you would tell competitors not to try to sound like the original artists. Syesha goes for it and then you make the dumb comment that in contrast to Whitney Houston Syesha paled. Excuse me! What! I can remember you treating a competitor of the past like you are treating Syesha her name is Diana Degarmo. No matter what way Diana sang you would put her down and always found fault with her performances. I see history is repeating itself with Syesha.

The last competitor to sing with a Golden Halo was Michael Johns. Tonight Michael did try the one o’clock jump singing “It’s all right, but it is all wrong. He not only proved he can blow, but that he was a competitor to be reckoned with.  Michael Johns blew it out of the ballpark no question and was by far the best performance of the night!

The rest of the competitors were not up to par, they were bland, boring and stagnant in their deliverance of their song and performance.  

The best performance of the night was Michael Johns, followed by Carly Smithson and David Archuleta.

The worst performances of the night were: Brooke White, Kristy Lee Cook and Jason Castro.

Who I think will be going home: Brooke White

The Dumbest Award is given out to Simon the Labyrinth Cowell- For his crass, rude comment on Carly’s attire.

Do not forget that American Idol will be hosting its second Idol Give Back Charity Event. This is for a good cause the money raised will help children and families worldwide and in the United States. One dollar per household could raise millions alone. The money you give can potentially save lives. Give and give generously folks!
