5/18/10 – C&C throw the competition for Lee

Ohio, Illinois, and Texas are the three towns we will be visiting tonight, after Ryan tries to be as tall as Casey and then has them say “this is American Idol.” I almost said, “has the boys say”, but then I remembered Crystal isn’t a boy, but still, it might have been fitting anyway. I wonder if any of you would have noticed.

Ryan’s hair is adorable tonight. He makes the audience yell for their favorite and every single person yells Lee’s name.

Casey is up first. He’s singing something by something. I don’t know. I can’t even concentrate on his words, because why is he still here? Ryan’s looking at him as he talks like he gets what he’s saying, but you know in Ryan’s head, he’s thinking, “Why is this guy still here?” God, I hope he’s not in the finale. That’ll be like when Katharine McPhee was in the finale and when I tried listening to her album recently, it felt like glass had fallen in my ear. Randy giggles for a few minutes, because he hated it but doesn’t want to say so. Ellen makes some funnies. Then everybody agrees his performance was awful. Because it was.

JuleahFaye: shut up that lady was for real!
roarimaraptor; what lady? casey?
JuleahFaye: the one who was in the audience watching him
JuleahFaye: i can see why you may be confused
JuleahFaye: she did look a little drag queeny
roarimaraptor: so does casey now that i think of it

For reals. Casey is a pretty lady. But that’s about all.

Ryan is on the drinking fountain stools with Crystal. She’s holding her guitar and wearing a harmonica around her neck. I’m over Crystal like woah, but if she sang ‘If Only’ by Hanson, I’d vote for her all night. But she’s not. She’s not cool enough for that. She’s singing ‘Come To My Window’, which is awesome in it’s own way, I guess. Just not this performance of it. I’m underwhelmed.

Randy liked it but didn’t like but liked it. Shut up, Randy. Have something to say or say nothing at all. Ellen and Kara say the same thing as Randy, basically. It was good, but it wasn’t good, but it was still good, but not good. Crystal is all like, “I love that song and I have a guitar and I love my baby.” Is Casey rubbing off on her or has she always been this way?

I have such high hopes for what Lee’s song choice will be. I hope he doesn’t suck it up by picking something stupid.

He’s doing ‘Simple Man’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I would have been disappointed cause it’s a song I don’t know and therefore can’t already love… but he’s awesome. So no worries there. The camera spins in circles around him, like I love. Randy talks stupid talk in his stupid sweater. Ellen loves him and compares him to a baby lamb and a gazelle. I missed what Kara said, cause I was IMing someone about how I want Lee to shave that junk off his chin. Then Simon calls his performance “on the money”.

Back from commercial, Ryan and the judges are all hanging on each other like we’re catching the tail end of a big orgy they had.

Casey’s hometown, blah blah. Kara and Randy chose ‘Daughters’ for him to sing and Kara’s all like, “Women and girls are your only fans, because you’re hot and that’s all you have.” I’m paraphrasing, but ya know. I’m not lying. The only two John Mayer songs I’ve ever liked are ‘Your Body Is A Wonderland’ and that ‘Beat It’ cover he did with Fall-out Boy, but this song is pretty. I’m not gonna look into the original, but his version was pretty. It’s not gonna win anything for him, but it didn’t send me running away screaming either. Ryan gives Casey’s numbers and nobody writes them down. Except Randy. He has to vote since he picked this song.

I hate Katy Perry’s proactive commercials. Her face looks like a frickin’ water painting. I want to jump into it like Mary Poppins and kick her ass. I’ll yell, “Kiss a girl now and see how you like, Katy! Kiss a girl now!!” while I punch her in the face.

Crystal’s hometown had a lot of people screaming in front of an AT&T store and then “Ellen” texted her that she’s singing ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’. I am not familiar with this song, but she sounds pretty good to me. Her vocals are strong, better than the performance before. Randy freaks out that she’s “in it to win it”. Ellen loves it. Kara loves it. Simon loves it.

Ryan and Crystal talk about how she’s dressed. She thinks she looks good, I think she looks like she’s from Resident Evil, and Ryan has no opinion on it. Or at least, he doesn’t vocalize it.

“Simon” texted Lee on his flight to Illinois to tell him he‘s singing ‘Hallelujah’. Which he does wonderfully, with a full choir behind him. The judges all love it and Kara is like, “This season would have sucked without you!” Again, not verbatim, but close enough.

OMG, as they were going through the numbers, I almost typed Casey’s into my phone. Good thing I caught it before I hit send. They confused me with this three numbers per person thing.

GASP! Beiber tomorrow night… I mean… nothing. Nevermind. I’m out. Glee’s on.
