Jailhouse Schlock


American Idol just keeps the train at full steam, shitting on more revered rock n' roll staples by taking it back even further to publicly defile the music and memory of Elvis Aaron Presley.
The song choices ranged from predictable to forgettable, the performances were all kinds of boring and the judges commentary was anything but insightful. So pretty much par for the season 9 coarse I guess. What follows are my lowlights and lowerlights of the episode:

Lowlights

  • Big Mike is pretty much back in fighting shape. If America tries to send him home again then America is either on crack or totally racist.
  • Ellen is funny. "Horny" jokes in the cradle of family programming are always okay in my book.
  • Tim Urban's dark powers are growing. He was honestly one of the best three of the night.
  • Bowersox is like, pretty much the only contestant that made a non-retarded song choice.
  • Seacrest's "talented tongue" joke was actually pretty good... on a lot of levels.
Lowerlights

  • Magnus is slippin' big time. Wtf? Maybe Urban is sucking her talent and using it for to his own evil ends. It's a theory.
  • Katie continues to not impress me.
  • Same goes for Lee.
  • Casey James needs to step it up too. He has been skating by on looks and somewhat decent performances but his song choices are horrific.
  • Andrew Garcia sucks. I'm sorry but he does. I thought he had potential too! Looks like we were all wrong.
  • Idol is obviously running out of famous people to be mentors. I have nothing against Adam Lambert but isn't tapping last year's runner up to come teach the kids how to do Elvis kind of a cop-out?
  • Season 9 blows.
So there you have it. More classic rock n' roll shat upon by a group of marginally talented ass clowns. *yawn*
