One Lee to Rule Them All
Aug. 28th, 2010 10:02 amLast night, I ate meatloaf for dinner, and saw American Idol Live
a)Take that terrorists!
b)Dontcha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
c)What? No trip to the 24-hour Wal-Mart?
Very cool, 4-tron set-up with pretty graphics and poor execution. The pictures didn't line up between trons so Crystal's sunflowers and Lee's stars and Siobhan's gothy hearts were cubist terrors.
10. My darling Didi. She opened with an original song and it was bland and radio friendly and went on for like, 18 minutes. Then she sang a song that wasn't Rhiannon. Also, she wore a horrible Vegas sweater.
9. Andrew Garcia. Did "Straight UP", of course, and it was freaking awesome. He did another cover, (I forgot which one) and did a fun, funky job it as well. Much better live than on the show. Easily the 2nd best of the night.
8. Katie Stevens. Her dress was so age-inappropriate, I half-expected the FBI to swoop in and arrest me for viewing it. She was awful. Sound v. amateur compared to everyone else.
7. Tim Urban. That thud you heard around 8:20 CT was the collective ovulation of every 14 yo girl in the arena. The joint SCREAMED for him. Though I was not as enchanted with his Peter Brady good looks, I was v. enchanted with his singing. Tim is 1377589089484056 times better live than he ever was on the show, and he pwned Hallejuah on the show. Also, he, Andrew and Siobhan were on the only ones with stage presence. That stage was super cheap-o anyway and everyone else just stood around and left water bottles everywhere. Lastly, Tim was the only one who didn't demand "Minneapolis, give me some noise!" (not only did all the others, but they held our first attempts in contempt and demanded we go louder-- look, I paid you to make the vocal box noises, not vice versa)
6. Siobhan Magnus. Shine on you crazy skinny diamond. She was dressed Lolita, and a lot of the crowd didn't know what to do about that. She rocked the fuck out.
Medley timez! Sadly, Siobhan changed outfits. Also, they sang "Climb" by Miley. Then intermission timez. I don't get the need to eat cotton candy at concert. I don't.
5. Aaron Kelly. Homervoice BORING /homervoice
4. Mike Lynche. Douche.
3. Casey James. Mike Lynche called him "Mr. Pretty". He also got his rock on, and he was enjoyable, but it was honkey tonk, wasted on cheap beer, wearing short-shorts music and I was in an arena with my tweener niece.
2. Crystal Bowersox. She will live forever on the Lilith Faire and festival circuit. Good for her.
1. Lee Dewize. Eh. Liked him better on the show.
Uber medley to finish up, during which most of the audience left.
