American Idol Week 4 Recap
If you have ever gone to the movies and ordered a big tub of popcorn, there is that point where you know you've had enough, but you keep eating. Then later, you feel sick.
This is where I am at with Idol this week. I've had too much of the auditions, and now I am starting to feel sick. I am ready, and I suppose most of America is as well, ready to move on to Hollywood where we might finally get to take stock of the talent that have been awarded the coveted Golden Ticket.
Can they sing, can they dance-can they do both at the same time? Most importantly can they connect with the judges and the audience? We'll have to wait and see.
Even Ryan had to admit, after all those cities and all the signers, the most memorable performance was Pants on the Ground. Not a good sign.
Good news for some is Ellen DeGeneres joins the cast next week, taking over for who has proven to be an entirely forgotten judge. What was her name anyway? Hopefully the dancing-daytime-talk-show-host and star of Finding Nemo can be a counter balance to the increasingly annoying and soulful bobble head Kara.
The one redeeming quality of this past week of Idol is that Randy didn't say "a ba-zillion percent yes!" We did however get to see Avril Lavigne's devil hood again - so I guess these negate each other.
For a more complete analysis of the previous week (and every week), trust the Gold Standard for Idol coverage Michael Slezack from Entertainment Weekly. His Idolatry is much watch on the web.
We're goin' to Hollywood.
