American Idol - Dolly Parton Week


Dolly looks good, in a scary way.

Simon has a problem with songs named after birds. He takes them a little too literally. First he was disturbed by Carly's performance of Blackbird Singing and picturing all the contestants as broken birds, now he's complimenting David Cook for making a song about a sparrow interesting. You know, Simon, the songs are not really about birds.

Simon says Carly needs to have a word with whoever is dressing her. I couldn't agree more. She's dressed like a sack of potatoes week after week. She's got this tattooed bod and wears what looks like home-sewn-frump-wear. Part housewife, part rock goth chick. Actually, looking at this picture of Carly in the audition process, she was dressing like a sack of potatoes before she was on Idol. Even with that great voice or hers, the star quality just is not there.

Ramiele Mulaby needs to go. Shes extremely dull and dresses like a school girl.

Jason Castro didn't pick the best song and so he didn't shine this week.

Everyone else did okay. I don't know why Syesha took on a song that was done and retired by Whitney Houston, but she did anyway and should not have been surprised by Simon telling her it paled by comparison.

Is it over yet? Yawn. I wish they were booting them off four at a time. We'd be done by now. I felt the show was really lacking without Chikezie.
