The Sonia Show

Yeah, so, I was kinda disturbed by Paula’s “critique” of Jason Castro’s second song on “American Idol” last night when the Dreaded One hadn’t performed his second song yet.

I have no idea what was up with that, but I don’t buy for one second Paula’s excuse that she had mixed up her notes and was reading her thoughts on Rocker David’s performance, especially after she went on to say who great Rocker David was.

The two theories are:

1) Paula watched the dress rehearsal and wrote down her comments, which I find difficult to believe since Paula’s comments are usually incomprehensible, “You have so many colors, blah blah blah [passes out and bangs head on table]”.

2) The show’s producers watch the dress rehearsals and write out comments for Paula in advance, which I also find difficult to believe, because, well, see No. 1.

In other words, I don’t know what to believe. “Idol” producers need to be careful. The ratings are slipping and people are complaining that the producers have favorites (Little David) and that the show is rigged.

So anyway, let’s break it down …

Overall, Neil Diamond night was BORING! Note to “Idol”: This is probably why the ratings are down. Andrew Lloyd Weber? Neil Diamond? Meh.

Let’s start with the Dreaded One. You know what? Paula’s possibly scripted comments about Jason were actually right on. The guy obviously doesn’t give a shit about the show anymore. He’s not really trying. He’s not trying to make the songs his own and his stoner act is getting old. I could care less if this guy got the boot tonight.

Brooke’s first song, “I’m a Believer,” was totally karaoke and lame. The second song, “I am, I said” was better. Classic Brooke singing behind the piano. I think she needs to stay behind the piano. She looks more comfortable there. I still like Brooke, but she’s not going to win this thing. I’m pretty sure we are headed for an all David finale.

Syesha needs to go directly to Broadway. She’s not a great singer. She’s a decent singer/actress and she reminded everyone of it again last night. Simon was right when he said she could be in trouble tonight. She’s was rather unremarkable.

Bad Hair Rocker David did his usual rocker thing. The performances were fine. I realize that Bad Hair Rocker is a front-runner, but I still don’t see him as a solo artist. I’m sorry. I just don’t see it.

Little David sang “Sweet Carolina” and “America” and both songs sounded exactly the same to me. Technically fine, but no heart. Also, does anyone else think Little David looks like a monchichi. You decide …



So who’s going home? I really have no idea anymore and, honestly, after last night’s show, I’m kinda too bored to care. However, if I HAD to pick, I would guess that the Dreaded One and Syesha are in the bottom two with Syesha going home.

Libra: You might believe that you are missing something important. It's not that love is less accessible now when sensual Venus visits comfortable Taurus. It's just that you are more sensible about your desires these days. Even if you consider yourself artistic, don't forget to pay attention to more practical concerns, too.
