I've Only Just Started Watching...

...but I need to mention that Luke Menard's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" makes me want to douse myself and my really attractive friends with gasoline and light a cigarette.

OKAY now that I've finished the hour:

-- 4 out of 8 songs performed tonight are among my most hated songs of all time. And the other 4 ranged from "inoffensive" to "played out." And I am totally queer for '80s music, what the fuck, American Idol?

-- David Cook (with the smart-assedness last week) and Danny (with the reminding me that he's just a YouTube/text-messaging brat like everyone else his age) were all set to totally lose me this week, but I really liked both performances, so I'm back. For now.

-- For whatever reason, I really, really hate Chikezie, so Randy Jackson refusing to acknowledge his one-nameification and calling him "Chikezie Easy" gives me joy. Plus, because I wasn't around to say it to Studdard, cut it out with the shitty Luther Vandross rejiggerings.

-- Simon's Lionel Ritchie story was beyond hilarious. If Joel McHale doesn't do a "Cool Story, Simon Cowell!" segment off that on The Soup I will be very disappointed.

-- Going home? Luke and Danny, I would guess. Unless Chikezie elbows his way into the loser's circle.

"Hello" has for decades been among my most loathed pop songs. David Cook caused me to pause and think: "That's not a bad song!" Sign of the apocalypse? Perhaps. But I's just saying...

And was Simon buying carrots?

I fergit.

Remember those Maxwell House ads featuring the loathsome Rockapella? Menard brings me right back there.

I've been referring to him as "Ki-cheesy," so you're preaching to the choir there.

I have to disagree with you on Menard, though -- that performance swung all the way around to completely hilarious. I'm watching the clip at the end again and giggling.

I may be the only one besides Simon, but I hated Noriega's performance tonight. I'm still twitching.

I'm with you, Sr. Baron. I'm hating on Noriega pretty hard these days.

And, Sars...Rockapella? Why did you have to awaken the one brain cell I have devoted to the memory of those guys? HATE!
