Week 10 Standings

Okay, I just watched the whole thing, and I just have so many questions. Almost all of them stemming from that "Staying Alive" music video. When did Teri Hatcher become Lara Flynn Boyle? Why do you have to be a British male named Hugh (Grant, Laurie) in order to emerge from something like this with your dignity intact? Why was Kirstie Alley dressed up like a priest? What the hell was Helen Mirren doing there?

Anyway, Idol Gives Back was not the inspirational song bonanza I anticipated it to be. Points only to Celine Dion for showing up, I think. Oh right: dead Elvis. Congratulations to Kristeen for getting the weirdest two points of the whole season. Jack Black came so close to singing that Whitney Houston song, too, you guys. So sorry. Hey, did Gwen Stefani really not show up? Or did I miss her. Let me know in the comments -- I honestly don't recall her being there like they said she would be.

Points this week:
Blake: +5
Chris R: +7 (+5, +2 for singing first)
Jordin: +8 (+5, +3 for singing last)
LaKisha: +5
Melinda: +5
Phil: +5

Sanjaya should get points for his celebrity shout-outs, right? Also, Gwen Stefani was on while you weren't looking, and she said the words "Sundance Head" 52 times. Please adjust your scoring accordingly.

You're not helping.

Last night, Stephen slammed my hand in a car door.

This is not relevant to anything, but I really felt that you should all know.

Stephen Thompson said...

Don't worry, everyone: She had it coming.

Sarah D. Bunting said...

If anyone has it coming, it's John.

The funny thing is, Sarah, I was going to pick Chris Sligh instead of Chris Richardson, but your brother talked me out of it.

Sarah D. Bunting said...

He talked me *into* picking Sligh, so clearly the kid is getting his hand slammed in a car door.

David Bunting said...

Okay, weak, Sars. I liked the guy initially, because he was funny, and I thought that his sense of humor could propel him past his mediocre singing voice.

Also, you need to stop hating on Melinda. She may be "boring," but her singing voice is leagues above everyone else's. Well, maybe not Jordin. I'm starting to completely fall in love with her.

Also, is it wrong that I thought Kelly Clarkson completely ruled that song she sang with Jeff Beck noodling in the background? Even when her voice gave out she sounded bad-ass. I totally loved it, and even rewatched it about 4 times. Although I don't totally agree with her choice of wardrobe, I still think she's awesome.

Dude, I've never denied that Melinda has a great voice. She does. So does Christina Aguilera and she bores me too. As a singer, Melinda is the best in the competition, except for Jordin, who may actually have the bigger voice. As a performer, in my opinion, Melinda is boring, and believe me, I wish I didn't think that, because I'd be doing a lot better in this damn pool instead of sitting in the middle of the auditorium telling Mr. Stephen Head to shut up.

But I do. She's boring me and she's costing me money and I want her out.
