My order for America was Alex, Caleb, Malaya, Sam, Majesty, Dexter, Jessica, Jena, C.J., and MK. That puts JennaIMeanGina in the B3 with the initial-ites, and Jessica on the bubble (in spite of Jessica's good performance).
Ryan
When he entered the auditorium, I thought he was going to crowd surf. It scared me. Thank goodness he was just going for a selfie.
Limo...
...is not a limo. They are in two different SUVs. Dislike. Like on the round(dinner)table discussion, though.
Dexter B3'd
I had him bubbled on my list, but not America's list. I thought he was more popular with country America.
Jennifer Lopez – "I Luh Ya Papi"
The "in the hood" intro was awkward. I know awkward is overused, but there's no other word. The harmonies were pretty good. Let's just do a checklist:
Beginning = awkward
Harmonies = good
JLo's shoes = uncomfortable
Sparkly hose = cool
Live singing = not happening
Chorus = I WANT TO KILL PEOPLE. The words "I Luh Ya Papi" repeated indefinitely MAKE ME WANT TO KILL PEOPLE.
Rapping Dude = also lip syncing
Dancing = good, but not overcoming the HOMICIDAL CHORUS
Bottom Line = If you like that song, we are no longer friends.
Wait A Minute
Some of those girls are former Idols. Oh... yeah... still hated it.
JLo's Quick Change
Rather impressive, especially the hair. However, SONG IS STILL DUMB. Bone chillingly bad.
Majesty B3'd?
Unfortunate. I really liked her. America, please start getting her. Understand her. Embrace her. Luh her.
How're Ya Doin', Jo?
Quite unwell, thank you. 0 for 2. And I've been doing so well this season. I thought I had my finger on the pulse of America. Unfortunate.
Royal Teeth – "Wild"
Why is that boy so skinny? Someone get him a hamburger and fries. The redheaded gal is pretty good, and her top is awfully cute. I was cool with the performance as long as she was being featured. The boy made me nervous, though. I was afraid he was going to break. I liked the percussion-full, confetti part... when there was no singing.
Group Songs
Where are the group songs? They were always canned and awful, but I found them endearing. They are like the carefree childhood you don't appreciate until it's gone.
MK B3'd...
...and likely B1'd.
MK B1'd
I really like MK. As I've said before, MK seems like the kind of gal I would like to get to know. I just think Idol is not the format for her. No way the judges Save her. It's kind of sad that she's preparing with the band for the song that is destined not to Save her. (Was MK changing her song when she was talking to Rickey Minor?) The judges are making a show of deliberating. Ed made a good point: the judges should listen to the singer sing, then huddle. It's a little rude to talk while the contestant is performing. Why are they still talking? The judges are just dragging out the drama.
And Then There Were Nine
Goodbye, MK! Do you guys think the right decision was made? See you next week!
