Tse Me

Top 8 sings Queen

I went into this show with a bit of curiosity but with a preconception that this was gonna be a bad, bad night. But overall, I think they were all good. Well none stood out as bad for me.

Bucky rocked out with Fat Bottomed Girls. I was surprised as heck and loved his rendition. I think he's improving.

Then Ace came out with We Will Rock You and, while there were some off-key notes, he wasn't horrible either. However, it felt a bit disrespectful that he kept wanting to change the arrangement when the band so clearly didn't want to. I didn't love his arrangement. It felt like 3 separate songs.

Kellie shocked the heck out of me with Bohemian Rhapsody. I thought she was entertaining, for the most part, she really sang the song well. She definitely broke out of her comfort zone and took on rock like a pro. Now, I know Juanita will cringe at her running up to Queen and hugging them (she's say it was plannned to make her stand out, blah blah blah) but that's just the southern way. Why just wave hello when you can hug? Also, I know that she'll also comment that the 'on paper' thing was just Kellie pretending to be stupid. I think she's just stupid. LOL

Chris sang some obscure song. I didn't love the song, but his voice stands alone. I thought that he would be the one guy to really take over this theme. I wish he'd done a more well known song. Oh well. And the judges said the same thing. LOL

Katherine sang some Highlander song. I didn't love this song either. Apparently the judges all thought she was the best of the night. It was hard to tell, cuz the song was kinda Broadway, and kinda lame. Her voice was nice - it seems to go off key a bit in some parts. But then again, our digital cable was also fluctuating, too.

Elliot sang Somebody To Love. I expected more from him. I thought it was a good song choice and I was looking forward to hear him tackle it. I was a bit disappointed. But, Juanita -- I really think they gave him a make-over! He looks a lot better!

Taylor sang Crazy Little Thing Called Love - I like him, but I didn't love his rendition of this song. When I heard that he'd changed his song to this one, my first thought was, "good choice!" it was ehhh for me.

Paris sang some song that sounded like a soundtrack for a James Bond movie. Of course, she had new hair extenstions. I say... pick a look, man. Anyhow, while the song is unknown to me, I really thought she did a good job.

Lets see.... my faves for the night: Bucky, Kellie and Chris -even tho I didn't know the song
my least favorites: Taylor, Elliot, and maybe (at the same time) Chris - cuz he shoulda picked a better song.

and one more thing... the reason I didn't blog much last week, was cuz as soon as Idol was over, I had to call Flavia and find out about her new condition. She looks adorable, by the way.

I'm ready for her to hang up the parade of never ending ponchos and get her boots re-heeled. But she apparently only wanted to buy capris maternity pants - as if she couldn't possibly wear full length jeans in the Spring and Summer! And one additional thing to make fun of her for... My other theory is that she's gonna keep wearing her boots until the rest of Manhattan is well into sandles. You know how she used to go to Bryant Park in the dead of Summer in long sleeves, black pants and boots with socks. That's our Fla!
