so many hot dudes so little talent.

So what with Blogger being stupid, me being lazy and love being a many splendid thing, I have decided to cram two posts into one this week (kind of like some sort of kinky AI blogging DP). First of all, everyone has seen the boys final week of preliminary performance and has realized that most of these dudes are either blowing it because they are way too ambitious (Todrick) or way too boring (most everyone else). Here, in a proverbial nutshell, is what I personally thought of dudes night:

Lee: still don't get it.

Alex: so-so.

Tim: better than last week.

Garcia: a reach.

Casey James: unremarkable.

Aaron: not doing much for me.

Todrick: still too wacky.

Big Mike: totally kills it.

So there you have it. A whole lotta boring. At least the girls this week had equally spectacular triumphs and failures! This was basically just a bunch of really crumby opening acts leading up to Big Mike's legit performance.

And that leads us to America. How did America do this week? I'm going with average. On the one hand I do believe that Katelyn was super boring and Lilly didn't really belong on Idol but I honestly think Katie will continue to struggle due to lack of experience blah blah blah, and Paige really fucking blew it this week. How that croaky god-awful, make people run screaming out of the theater rendition of Smile didn't punch her ticket home boggles my mind.
As for the gentlemen, I am sad to see Todrick go but can't say I'm really surprised as he suffered from one of the most ill-concieved preliminary appearances in recent memory and even though Adam is arguably better than Tim, Aaron and (in my opinion) Lee, his mild retardation and creepy molester mullet were definitely not hot.

At the end of the day, this whole group is wildly underwhelming with only Bowersox, Magnus and Big Mike truly standing out. Will one or more of the other hopefuls decide to step it up, thus making the comp interesting? Or are we resigned to a three horse race? How many decent songs will be utterly ruined in the heinous group sing segment? Will Jesco's microsoft paint skills improve any time soon? Who's a buddy? All these questions and more (or possibly less) will be answered in the coming weeks as AI kicks into high gear and IT follows behind it picking up little pieces of wasted youth and broken dreams. Stick around... shit's about to get real. Or some such cliche.

And now... the moment you've all been waiting for...

BUDDIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how fucking adorable is that shit? So adorable you just came in your pants. Don;t try to deny it, either! That look on your face is a dead giveaway. Until next time, cumpants...
