The Idol stylists must HATE Siobhan cuz that nest hair, crazy dress and short boots were a hot mess. And can somebody tell me how in the devil you get "Shavon" from S-I-O-B-H-A-N????

Still the ones...
Looks like they made it... Look how far they've come my baby...
The fact that they liked Leigh's performance of Still the One makes me smile... He sounded exactly like I sound when I sing that song in the shower. Exactly. Maybe I should go for it and enter Electrolux' Mom Idol. lol
And if you're paying attention... yes, I AM a Shania fan. Yes, I DO have a one or three of her albums.
I wish they could do duets cuz I'd love to hear Crystal and Mike sing From This Moment a la Bryan Adams. Or a la 98 Degrees on Shania's Christmas special 10 years ago.
But Big Mike still made a good choice. And Ellen even compared him to Luther Vandross (R.I.P.) ... and Simon echoed the sentiment. Now personally, I think that's a bit of a stretch but we'll take it.
The judges have to get the banter under control. At 7:30, there were 4 out of 6 performances left. Sucks for unlucky #6. That poor guy (or gal) will barely have time for the voting number to flash across the screen.
Casey's performance didn't suck. He's definitely getting better...
I wanna wash Crystal's hair so bad.....I think the backup singers and band are outshining her a little bit. Maybe she should've had them a little further back on the stage. Simon was on point-it really did sound like a coffeehouse performance.
These 'new' Lane Bryant commercials are the opposite of sexy.
Without even watching the rest of this show, I predict either The Wyze or the screamer goes home tomorrow.

What Idol needs are some "Good Times"
I was watching this episode of Chappelle's Show last night when a lightbulb went off .... wouldn't it be cool if Idol had a "Theme Songs from 70s Sitcoms" night?
Big Mike could channel his inner JJ Evans and sing the theme song of Good Times
Crystal Bowersox, who already has a Jan Brady on the Hawaii episode thing going on could strum her guitar and do a hip(pie) version of The Brady Bunch song.
Lee DeWyze could rock out the theme from Happy Days. Go Opie! Go Richie! Get busy!
We'll let Aaron Kelly just hum the tune from Sanford and Son. Dun dundunnun duh duh dunuh dunnunn ...
Casey James -- do I really have to say it, Mr. Kot-ttter?
And Siobhan, aka the Screamer, could belt out Edith Bunker's verses of the All in the Family theme song

Can WE Give it Back??
What's worse than Beatles night on American Idol? Idol Gives Back. We get to sit through an hour of tunes like Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" -- sung with passionless unoriginality by Casey "Don't Call Me Buckey" James.
I don't doubt that these songs were once inspiring to many, but now, most of them have been relegated to cheesy political campaigns. Remember this one ...
Speaking of uninspired -- I miss the days when Idol mentors really mentored -- really coached -- the contestants rather than stroke their fragile egos. Cheesy line of the season: "You are that boxer. You are that fighter." Allicia Keys to Lee DeWyze
And when did Lee DeWyze become "brilliant?" Remember this?
Zac Efron -- I mean Tim Urban -- sang a song that could have been straight out of High School Musical 4. I think Zac Efron better watch his back.
Seriously, Aaron? "I Believe I Can Fly?" If you look up cliche in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Kels cheesin' holding this record. And then he butchers it. What did we, the loyal Idol viewing public, ever do to deserve this? Stay tuned for R. Kelly's next hit "I Believe I Can Lie" from his upcoming album Jailhouse Rock.
Seriously judges? "I believe you CAN fly." "This performance was like a plane taking off ..." Seriously? What are we going to do without Simon's realism and frank if not apolitical correctness? He's absolutely right -- this kid is not even radio-worthy. And we all know how little talent you have to have to be on the radio.
Seriously? OMG, ODB, ASP .... just list the whole damn alphabet. What I can't BELIEVE is how big this chick's ego must be to think she can take on not one but TWO dynamic divas in the same song. And the butterflies on the arm -- was that supposed to be an homage to my dear Mariah? How tacky. And THEN she says the meaning of the song is "why she's here." So .... being on American Idol is the equivalent of Exodus? Yeah -- I get that connection.
And is it just me or are Ellen and Kara smoking that Whitney Houston crack? They seem to be falling over each other to give the biggest compliment to the least deserving performance. Reminds me of when Whitney Houston crowned Bobby Brown "the Original King of R&B" at an awards show. It was so ridiculous, people almost missed it.
Was it a requirement this year that contestants had to know how to play an instrument? Isn't their voice their instrument? Isn't this still a singing competition?
My prediction -- it's about that time for Big Mike to go ... He doesn't have Ruben's "velvet teddybear" appeal. He's too good to get a pity vote. He doesn't have great hair or boyish good looks. And 13-year-old girls don't daydream about him. And the people who might have voted for him have stopped watching.
Crystal Bowersox takes it all -- unless she gets sick again. (Check your sugar, girl. And take your medicine.) OR cry at the end of another song... What was that about??
Oh well, amateur hour is over. Time for some serious singing. Madonna is on Glee! Woohoo! Show 'em how it's done Madge!

Easter Wednesday
The judges played Idol gods and raised Mike up from the dead tonight. But as much as I like Mike, I think keeping him around (only to be voted off next week) is a really lame attempt to save a really lame season-- that they (and the producers) created. You can't blame this on the a-aaa-ca-hol OR the voters.
In an era of tea partiers and
'you lie,' surely no one expects America to use reason or good judgement in casting its votes.
All I can say is thank God Glee is back next week so we can hear some real talent on Tuesday night.

Slam!
Duuh duh duh duuh duh duh... Let the boys be boys!
Whose idea was it to let the contestants "share" info about each other? Like do you think little Aaron wanted the world to know about his fascination with Yoda? Not, I think.
And isn't it a little early in the season for Beatles night? But I guess producers had to pull out the big guns to save this season. You can't really fudge Let It Be. ... unless you're Kara trying to impress Simon.
