Culturally Preconditioned

Ryan Semencrust is officially the most annoying reality show host ever. How he got his star on the Walk Of Fame is beyond me. Anyway, the theme for this week was 21st Century Songs. Gee.. how creative. Let’s get into this real quick.

Lisa - Because Of You

Wow.. No wonder Kelly Clarkson was hesitant to allow her songs to be sung on Idol. Lisa was good in parts but was also very bad in certain parts. She’s so trembling on thin ice right now. 5.5

Kellie - Suds In The Bucket

If I heard that on the radio, I would turn it off real quickly. I don’t like her performance, she sounded as though she’s screeching, but we all know she’ll be safe for this round, thanks to the VoteForTheWorse crew. A 4.

Ace - Drops of Jupiter

On the bright side of things, his singing wasn’t as bad as last week. But that don’t stop me from wanting to punch his pretty face though. He still remains the shittiest ’singer’ left in the competition, the scar thingy was so rehearsed and people need to realize that this guy is only skin deep. I’ve heard far better singers from any random boy bands. A 2.

Taylor - Trouble

I liked his performance tons better with the lack of his epileptic stage seizures. The song might showcase his voice range (although not as much as it could be) but the song itself bored me to tears. A 6.5

Mandisa - Praise You

Ooooh this reminds me of the Malaysian Idol 2 girl who got kicked off during the first week with Atilia (can’t remember her name, can’t be bothered to look it up). Mandisa’s performance was good, but not superb. Definitely not one of the best. If this was the first time I’m watching her, I won’t be that impressed. And Simon was right on target when he said he thought the song was ‘a bit of an indulgence’ for her. A 7.

Chris - What If

Hundreds of songs and he chose this song? A repetitive what if what if what if what if? He might as well be singing I shot the sheriff but I didn’t shoot the deputy over and over again.Seriously, it was boring.. there was nothing different about his singing and his style from previous weeks. I am so over this hyped up egg head. And I so fucking hate the show for over-pimping and being so damn protective of his status in the show. The only good thing about this performance is that the song was taken from one of my favourite movies ever (Scream3), and that. is. all. No, his performance was not superb, or great, or out of this world, and if you think so, you obviously haven’t attended any proper rock concert before. It was actually just below average. A 4.

Katharine - The Voice Within

Looked like the suckiness has rubbed off on her too. She started off really wrong, picked it up a little, but in the end, it was all awful. I was very very disappointed. I thought that was a really bad song choice. I have the McPheever but that was bad. I’m pretty sure the judges had a few doobies during the break to give such good comments. I am a fan, but that wasn’t anywhere near as good as they claimed it was. A 4.5.

Bucky - Real Good Man

I am a little embarassed to say this, but that was surprisingly okay. I still don’t get who’s actually voting for this guy, though. A 6.5

Paris - Work It Out

Princess Pee? Hahahahaha ROFLMAOASTC. Well, I thought it was okay for her to be extra tergedik-gedik like she did this time, because the song called for that. I’m kinda impressed but I still don’t like her though. And if she says ‘thank you’ once more in that annoying squeeky pre-natal voice of hers, I swear I’m gonna shove a douche down her throat. Maybe it’s not her annoying mouse-like speaking voice.. maybe it’s the way she says ‘thank you’.. It’s like ‘thaNK(emphasized) (followed by a half-a-second pause) you’. What the fuck is up with that? SHUT UP!!!! But to be fair, her performance was quite good. An 8.

Elliot - I Don’t Wanna Be

I love him and I want to plant myself a vagina and have his monkey babies. A 9.

All in all, it wasn’t that good of an episode. I don’t know what’s wrong with these kids.

Top Three - Elliot, Pee, Mandisa

Bottom Three - Acehole, Kellie, Egghead

Going home - Lisa
