American Idol

It's down to the Top Three contestants and the competition is heating up!  Each of our precious darlings sang 3 songs last night and the race was so stiff, I almost married it.  The first song was Judge's Choice, the second song was Contestant's Choice, and the third song was Producer's Choice.  Let's recap!

David Archuleta: Momo started the evening with a performance of Billy Joel's And So It Goes. I actually dislike just about every Billy Joel song because it just sounds like naff bullshit for fat frat boys to sing while homo erotically slapping each other's asses.  I will say Ms. Momo worked it out and I actually enjoyed his rendition.  His second song was Chris Brown's With You, one of my favorite contemporary R&B hits, and I will have to say while vocally, it was fine, everything else was a hot tranny mess.  Even trannies were screaming, "Bitch, at least I got some fuckin rhythm!".  Oh Momo, what did you do?  That dancing was atrocious and almost borderline, Clay Aiken heinous.  And who do you think you're kidding calling some lady "little mama" and "little shortie"?  Did you mean to sing "Hey little papa...hey stick it in me?".  Le sigh.  Luckily, Momo redeemed himself with Dan Fogelberg's Longer.  The vocals were clean and crisp and he always shines in this adult contemporary genre.  Work it out, Momo!  See you in the finals!

Syesha Mercado: Syesha started the evening with Randy's pick of Alicia Keys' If I Ain't Got You and it was a gorgeous delight.  Her vocals were impeccable and although it was a bit of a copycat situation (She sounded EXACTLY like Alicia), it was still an amazing performance.  Her next performance was Peggy Lee's Fever and although the judges gave her flack about selecting this song, I thought the performance was sexy, on pitch, and made sense with her musical theater background.  Sure, it didn't show off her vocals as well as they could have been, but it wasn't a BAD performance.  Syesha ended the evening with Gia Farell's Hit Me Up and sure was Rihanna chic, wasn't she?  It was very mediocre and lacked the energy that a performer like RiRi can bring.  We all know that Syesha will be getting the boot tonight so let's bid her well. She made it FAR longer than anyone expected.  Ciao mami!

David Cook: Buttplug's first song was Simon's selection of Robert Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and he did an AMAZING job!  His raspy rocker voice reinterpreted the song with such fervor and melody that I essentially leaked more than if I was watching She's the Man for the millionth time.  His second song was overly predictable yet one of my favorites, Switchfoot's Dare You to Move.  This is the genre and sound that he excels in and this performance was no exception.  He sounded great and I was impressed overall.  Buttplug ended the trio of songs with Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing and brought the mother fuckin house DOWN!  You know 40 year old women across the country had their Rabbits on full throttle and I think there may be a water shortage from all the showers taken at 9:01PM.

Next week is the finale and between Momo and Buttplug, I really am uncertain who will win.  I would think that the majority of Syesha's votes will go towards Momo but this country is so fucking retarded that it's hard to say.  And the anticipation swells!
