thats right america, the calls you make will not only save your favorite contestant, but they will also save lives....this...is idol gives back.
we are conspicuously sans mentor tonight, bono was billed, but he doesnt seem to be present at all. wtf?
simon and seacrest made a trip to africa to see the horrific conditions that millions of children live in, people dying all the time from malaria, a disease that can be prevented with something as simple as a net (i learned that from bill gates)
'songs that inspire' is the theme tonight, and c-rich picks eric capton's 'change the world' which isnt really about changing the world. dude, just because the title sounds nice doesnet mean its about helping anyone but yourself. in fact, its all about if he could change the world he'd make one person love him, not about helping millions of starving children. that was lame, a bad choice and not a good performance either really. randy thinks hes "in it to win it", (plus he had a fly jacket) paula thinks chris' journey is exciting, and simon liked it too. i thought it was underwhelming and cheesy.
where is bono????
oooohhhh FOUR hours of voting time tonight?
big shout out to myspace from seacrest for their support and the idol gives back friend space, dig it.
idol gives back will spread the loot to the poorest regions of america, including katrina stricken areas, poorfolk in appalacia, indian reservations, and homeless people in atlanta.
melinda doolittle will perform faith hill's song 'there will come a day' and although her heart is in the right place she is a lame square and i just dont like her.
blake is up next with john lennon! thats my boy. now here is a song that inspires. 'imagine', in my book, is one of the most inspiring, humanistic, and prolific songs that have been ever written. the judges recognize it as one of the greatest songs ever, but somehow question whether it was the right choice. well hey dipshits, its inspiring songs week, what do you expect? at least simon will say that it was sincere. i say well done blake.
lakisha is up with 'i believe' by fantasia. what a suck-up, but she could sing the phone book and it would be good. the judges, however, clearly preferred fantasias version and were not impressed. its a tough theme this week.
phil is asked what he misses most about home, and naturally he says his two daughters, man what a set-up that was for him to say hes gonna sing 'the change' by garth brooks, which apparently was written about the oklahoma city bombing. phil is such a fucking patriot, the judges cant argue with it without being labeled terrorists. yeah he's got a good voice but hes no american idol. hes's gotta go.....soon???
america's second harvest is great but conagra foods is not.
jordin sparks is last with 'youll never walk alone' and she looks phenomenal. her song, however, is generically 'inspirational' and didnt do a thing for me. "one of the best vocals ever from any contestant, ever" says randy. "glorious" says paula, and simon says "fantastic...i think you'd have a hit record with that, brilliant." ugh.
two hours of idol gives back wednesday night and everyone under the sun will be there. hopefully we'll say adios to phil. unfortunately we may lose lakisha.
