Goodbye Blindy, Goodbye

I do not recall if I called the contestants out for lip singing before but they were. This week they decided to go raw dog and actually sing the ridiculous song the producers chose for the 8 contestants to sing. First off, it's almost always horrible to have 8 'amateur' contestants sing a non-group song together while prancing around the stage. Not that I would prefer the fake singing, that's just as horrible but even more insulting. What I want is either the entire segment canned completely OR live singing to songs that better suit multiple singers. AND each of them have a part of the song. I don't need to see them, or hear for that matter, sing together. Must I once again remind everyone that this is a competition!? An individual competition, so the fact that you can sing with someone else is not important to the show, right? So why are we forced to see these weird minutes of group song time each and every week? I understand the stupid Ford commercial, they are sponsor whores, but what is with this stupid group song thing? It ain't working no mo!

So long Scott MacIntyre, it was a great run. We'll miss you but like Simon said, the sofa held a bit more talent. I give you mad props you for causing Seacrest to be embarrassed TWICE! In case you have forgotten this awesomeness here's a couple of photos to jog your memory.

Here we see Seacrest trying to give Scott a congratulatory hi-five, not remembering Blindy is Blind, Seacrest is left hanging...


Just when he thought the painful embarrassment was behind him, Blindy comes at him with a stationary hi-five. You go Blindy, America Loves you.

P.S. You're brother/lover is a hottie!!!

One of my favorite moments of the night was the awkward one shared between Miss Pickler and Miss Seacrest. Miss P is not the sharpest pencil in the throat, but Miss S totally made that situation confusing for the poor girl! And how rude! Seacrest basically was all, "It's not all about you Pickler! Get out da stage!" I think he was just jealous over Simon's affections. Understandable. Her singing was kinda awkward as well, it seemed that everytime she tried to open her eyes wide then went crossed.

....!!!!!!BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!....

Kelly Pickler just gave birth to a baby monkey! Congrats to the new mom!

Despite boyfriend Bix yelling, "Worst week ever," it was a good week. We are getting down to the wire and only 2 more chances for a save. INTENSE!
