That '80s Show: An 'Idol' breakdown

Yeah, so, it's 80s night and the feeling right. Oh yes, it's 80s night, oh what a night ...

Let's get right into the guys on "American Idol."

"Idol" producers are asking all the singers what was their most embarrassing moment is. They are making made it all too easy for mockin'.

The plain brown Luke Wilson of "Idol," Luke Menard, thinks his sister dressing him up as a girl when he was a kid was his most embarrassing moment. Little did he know his most embarrassing moment would occur minutes later on the "Idol" stage when he sang "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." It was so bad-bad. Time for him to go-go. Sorry, folks, I couldn't resist.

Little David talked about his most embarrassing moment, but it was something lame and I already forgot it. I think he should be embarrassed that he picked such a boring Phil Collins song, the one about the homeless or something. Yawn. Randy said it was nice and Paula said it's good that he hit wrong notes (?) to show he's not perfect. SHUT UP PAULA! "Good job on not hitting the right notes." You are such a tool! Little David is so serious. I wonder if he's ever seen "Superbad," or does he sit around with good nanny Brooke and talk about how they've never seen a rated R movie?

Danny Noriega did "Tainted Love." It wasn't perfect, but that's why Paula should love it, right? I kinda liked it, because it was different. I still believe this kid can sing. I wish he would pick a song that really showed it off.

Gay stripper David says his most embarrassing moment was doing a photo shoot with a booger hanging out of his nose. Yeah, right. I'm pretty sure his most embarrassing moment is the story about the fact that he worked as a gay stripper that hit all the websites this week. Not that there's anything wrong that. He was trying to hide it, so obviously he is embarrassed by it. He sang "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" by Celine Dion. So, who didn't know he was gay? It was really uneven. He was so good last week, so this is disappointing. Honestly, the guy are suckin' it this week ... so to speak.



Hot Aussie channels his "Breakfast Club" on and sings "Don't You (Forget About Me)". "Hey Simon, does Barry Manilow know that you are raiding his wardrobe?" The singing is OK, and the guy has that rock star persona down. I won't lie, I love looking at him.

Funny lookin' rocker David straps on the guitar and sings a rock version of Lionel Richie's "Hello." Hello, he needs to singing the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes version! That would rule. David's take is OK, too, though. I'm not going to run out and download it, but I did enjoy it. I didn't love it as much as the judges, but considering how much the guys have been suckin' it tonight, it soars by comparison.

The dreaded one, Jason Castro, goes for his Little David "Imagine"-moment with "Hallelujah." Much like Little David's "Imagine," it lacked the power and the feeling behind it. It was pretty good though.

Chikezie takes on Whitney Houston's "All The Man That I Need" but seeing as how he's not Gay Stripper David, Danny Noreiga or Little David he changes the words to "All The Woman That I Need." It started out rough, but, as Randy would say, he worked it out. I've said it before, I like Chikezie because he's got that old school R&B voice that I love. I think he's good, dammit.

So, I think my faves of the night were Hot Aussie, Funny lookin' rocker David, the Dreaded One and Chikezie.

So, who's going home? Definitely Luke. Wake me up when he go-goes. The second one is tough. It could be Danny Noreiga, because it wasn't great. It could be gay stripper David because it wasn't great either.

Scotland is not Australia

Didn't anybody else notice Randy's goof when he seemed to think "Don't You Forget About Me" was an INXS song? He praised the Aussie for bringin' it back with the Aussie thing (or something like that) and saying how much he had the Michael Hutchence thing going on. Um, Dawg? The song is by Simple Minds. From Scotland.

Incidentally, I am so with Simon on the Danny song. I thought everything about it was awful. He needs to go.

I like Chikezie too, but I think he is in danger this week. Only once (last week) did he truly shine. I think Luke is definitely gone this week. I hope Chikezie stays, but I'm worried. I want Danny to go. He is ridiculous.

Re: Scotland is not Australia

Honestly, I hardly pay attention to Randy anymore. He's a big tool and doesn't offer any constructive criticism or interesting insights, so I didn't even hear that. I love it when the supposed experts get shit wrong.

Simon did something similar when he got into it with Chikezie about his song choice. The song was originally sung by Sister Sledge then Luther Vandross then Whitney Houston, but apparently that makes it a Whitney Houston song, and then Simon dinged him for singing a Whitney song. Also, none of the judges seem to remember that Chikezie sang that song in his audition and they liked it enough to put him through to Hollywood. Idiots!

Anyway, I definitely think Chikezie is vulnerable this week, but my guess is Luke and, most likely, gay stripper David are going home. Danny would be my third guess.
I didn't think the night overall was as bad as you, but maybe I was just in a good mood.

I agree with you that I think Danny might be in trouble, although I didn't mention that in my rundown. But I hope he sticks around. Because he's my favorite little train wreck.
I've gotten a few emails similar to your's saying maybe I was too hard on the guys. Perhaps I'm just not that into them yet. Maybe I will care more when we get into the top 10.
