Tonight's Idol gave a lot more ammo to the "no one's exciting this season" whiners.
No one was exciting tonight, but I'd say it had a lot more to do with the most boring group of songs ever picked by Idol contestants than with actual talent or ability.
This probably should've been Carrie's week but she's sounded far better. Which is a little unfortunate because she looked more comfortable than ever before (maybe just because she was singing her kind of country).
Mixed results also for Bo, who proved two things by performing Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want to Be" (aka the One Tree Hill theme song): he can definitely hang with the "NOW" music crowd and contemporary pop rock songs sure are b-o-r-i-n-g.
Everybody else was bad, bad, worse and even worse. Vonzell retreated to her earlier shaky vocal days, even if only Simon noticed, and Anthony needs to give up trying to power sing and stick to the dance tunes.
But whoa, was Smeagol knocked down a peg or what? Going back to his faux rocker beginnings only underlined how awful he is. (Seriously how hard is it to improve on a Nickelback song?? It's freakin' Nickelback!!) If only the producers had the guts to put him on immediately following Bo, or immediately before, so the gap between the two would've been even more obvious. At least all the judges noticed his complete crappiness (even Paula!). This will be the biggest test of his fan base yet.
He could escape the bottom three though thanks to Vonzell, Anthony and... boy, oh, boy...
I think Defamer put it best last week by asking:
When is America going to vote off the off-key singing fat guy who looks like a giant, scary baby?
But it's anyone's guess what will happen when the two best contestants perform first and second and everyone gets a teary clip package with family members all but pleading with America to keep their baby in the running.
Even the giant, scary one.
