Who's your daddy?
This season of American Idol has been very disappointing. I probably say this every year, but this year it seems like I hate more people than I like. With any luck, Whiny Chris and Alien Phil will leave this week and we will be left with only talented people. Out of the other four (Blake, Lakisha, Jordin and Melinda) I don't really care who wins, because Blake is so much better than everyone else that he has already transcended American Idol and doesn't really need to win. It's not that he's a better singer than the other three (he's usually "pitchy"), but he is comfortable on stage and commands the audience's attention in such a way that he makes up for any vocal weakness. Plus he wears a lot of plaid and argyle.
Here are some of my favorite performances:
The first time I really noticed Blake standing out from the rest of the gang:
Blake making love to the camera (which doesn't gross me out the way it did when Brandon Rogers, Sanjaya and Constantine did it). He also does an awesome little moonwalk thing:
He may be dressed like he came from a bad sci-fi movie, but he will always love me (isn't that nice of him?):
Last night's Bon Jovi extravaganza (as I IMed to my sister, "He can do some impressive things with his mouth. That's what she said."):
(Unfortunately I can't show you the video of Blake singing "Power to the People" during the "Idol Gives Back" episode because he sang the wrong damn John Lennon song. Last night's performance made me forgive him for not following my commands, but I will not forget.)
Blake could make it without Idol, but I would rather he stuck around another few weeks and came in second or third (not first, because then you have to be The American Idol and that's a kiss of death to anyone who is not Kelly Clarkson). Unfortunately, I got my numbers mixed up and accidentally voted for Phil last night, and that makes me worry that Phil will beat Blake by one vote tonight. Blake will go home and we will all have to wait until his album comes out to see him again and we'll have to watch Phil's strange head for another week. Sigh.
