I like Carly. I think she's often overpraised, and her glory-note O face makes her look like Steve Perry, but I guess that gets her over with Randy, which is fine; she's, you know, fine. She'll make the top four, no doubt, and I have no problem with that.
But the stylists have just GOT to stop putting her in flowy, tenty tops with frilly nonsense on them; yes, it's the style right now, but it doesn't suit everyone, and between the gacky floral appliques on tonight's schmatte and the overdone hair, she often looks like a drag queen. A chunky one. She literally looked like Divine from several angles tonight, and it's just not necessary. This woman's wedding ring is a tattoo; stop girling her up for every performance, and if she's asking to get girled up, talk her out of it, because I don't have anything good to say about Amanda Overmyer except that she's clearly refused to have anything to do with dressing "cute" or taking her hair down a notch or any of the Delia's-catalog fooferaw Carly has going on. Her voice is annoying, her shtick is tired, and I wouldn't buy tickets to an Amanda Overmyer show if they came with a free pair of Blahniks, but at least the sow's ear is still a sow's ear at the end of the day.
Carly: You're striking and you have a decent figure as far as I can tell. If you have to knock Cook down to borrow those leathers, do what you have to do, but enough with the pleated satin. It's called "a belt." It will give you what is called "a waist." Send Seacrest out for one pronto.
Linda: I still love Jason Castro.
Four years of regretting that Ramiele Malubay pick.

And straighten that hair, by God!
Yeah, that's the other thing. She doesn't have the face for that big-rollers look.
For me, what's amazing is that in the last two weeks, Carly has looked like a 34-year-old trying desperately to look like a 24-year-old. Which is not a good thing at whichever age she is.
I have discovered a new way to enjoy this show. Okay, you know how the music goes, "Bow, NOOOW! (wah-nah, na-nah, na-nah, na-nah)"? Okay.
So often, the music kicks up right after the judges talk, so my new amusement is imagining that the words to the music are, "So THERE! (wah-nah, na-nah, na-nah)"
When Simon was like, "You suck!" to Amanda Overmyer, it was a perfect example. "You suck!" "So THERE!"
But seriously, I have two days of work left. My brain may be affected.
