Impossible dream - American Idol
That was rough, dawg.
Seriously, musical night on American Idol may have been the roughest show in the two years I've been actively watching the competition. (And yes, I remember Gloria Estefan night.) No one really shined, and there were some perfectly ghastly performances. Scott's opening number was embarrassingly bad, and Anthony's up-tempo reimagining of "Climb Every Mountain" was dreadful. Have you noticed that Anthony spends much of every song sort of sing-talking? Or that Scott only hits the notes he has to hold for more than a quarter note, leaving the rest of them in a tangle of flats and sharps that Paula's hearing appears to balance while the rest of us hear cacophony?
If they're not the bottom two, there's really no justice to this show. Otherwise, an indifferent week, in which Constantine was an unlikely hero, delivering the only really captivating performance of the night, though he did miss that last note. Vonzell was good, Anwar hit almost all the notes this time, Bo and Carrie and Nadia were consistent but forgettable, and Nikko chose a great song, then half-delivered on its promise.
Look for Nadia to end up in the bottom three with the aforementioned boys this week, but expect one of the boys--probably Anthony, rounding out this year's anti-teen revenge for Jasmine and John last year--to go home.
