This week they have some Randy Travis guy to mentor. I keep thinking they're talking about Randy Jackson when they say Randy. I wonder why they didn't invite Michael Jackson last week to mentor them. Could be preempt measures, but I don't see any young boys around, unless they count Kris Allen.
Michael Sarver is up first, and he's attempting some sort of a tongue twister. Randy (Travis) says that if he misses even one word, it's gonna be completely over for him cause it's impossible to jump back. He has some harmonica player sit on the stage to play (play the harmonica, of course. Not play games.), and manages every single word of that song. Randy (Jackson. See? I told you it was confusing) thought it was good.But according to Simon, he might as well been singing in Norwegian 'cause he couldn't understand a single word. Sarver said that if they were perfect then they wouldn't need the show. Exactly, Michael! That's what
eliminations are for. Looking forward to seeing you and your imperfections there!Kris and Allison should seriously stop touch each other. They're always doing some sort of pre-commercial skit that involves touching each other. C'mon, Kris. You're a married 23 year old and she's a 16 year old high school student. How's your wife gonna feel about that, huh?
Allison kept doing the 2 finger up sign that Brits seem to hate so much during her
performance. A very shouty one again, and she's doing some weird moves. I wonder how Simon feels about her 'flipping' him off like that. Kris performed without his guitar (I know! Outrageous!) but did it very very well. Randy called him a tender-dawg and Simon called him a puppy. Not sure if it's meant to be taken as a compliment. But it was a really charming performance he gave. Simon also said it was terrific, which I assume is a compliment, unless he was saying that it was terrific that he was a puppy.The weirdest thing today was Paula. The suddenly seems like the grand matriatch of the judges, the most serene and confident one. Randy and Kara were like fidgeting, going here and there with their comments about Lil (no, Simon. It's not short for Little), but Paula just came in, slapper her hand on the table and went "All right. Look! I don't care about pitch problems (anyone who's heard her sing would know that for a fact). You look great." She was so confident about her delivery that the other judges just went silent and looked at her as she delivered her lines of wisdom.
Adam did something a lil weird today. Country mixed with middle eastern flaver tinged with a little bit of goth, with some Adam-patented yelling thrown in here and there. Kara was completely confused and finds it weird, but said it made her happy(Made you happy where, Kara?). Paula says Adam is true to himself, and did a Led Zeppelin "Kashmir,". Simon calls it indulgent rubbish. Uh-oh, Simon. You used that line before when dealing with Von Smith! I know it's your own line you're quoting from but please be original now..
And then we have, of course, Danny Gokey, who's decided to GoCarrie this week. He's singing the princess of country's (you may have never heard anyone refer to Carrie like that before, cause I just came up with it. Trust me, it'll catch on) Jesus take the wheel. Finally there's no mention of his wife this week. Unless the woman mentioned in the lyrics ("She saw both their lives flash before her eyes / She didn't even have time to cry") was her. In that case, he was more brutal than I thought. Singing about your wife losing her life? Please, Gokey. There's more honorable ways to win. Anyhow, Paula loves it (silly woman), Simon hates what he's wearing, and Kara and Randy thought the vocals were weak. Finally someone sees the light!
