Well? Posts: 1,439 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: February 13, 2005	Bye-Bye Anwar and Hello Millennium... Last Week On AI – Anwar went home instead of Scott. That’s all you need to know. My eye still twitches from that. Moving on... Ryan starts us off with the usual spiel, and moves on into introducing the song theme for this week. The lucky audience finds out that the theme is 2000 to 2005, but not before Anthony hints at having a little too much fun at a millennium party. Woohoo! Go illegal activities! This bunch sure seems to have an affection for them... Good Song, Bad Outfit We start the show off with Carrie Underwood, who sings When God Fearing Women Get The Blues. During her intro, she says that she grows up in a small town and we see her farm. That’s about all we find out about Carrrie, maybe because that’s all there is to her life. Hmm... maybe that’s why she’s so boring sometimes. Anyways, how was her performance? Bored says: Ok, first up, what’s up with the fiddlers on the steps? Talk about distracting... as far as Carrie’s performance goes, she went back to the safe-land that she found herself in during the semi’s with her performance. It was OK, but it wasn’t quite as engaging as I would have liked it to be. However, I will cut her a tad bit of slack, as she starts hacking up a lung as soon as she finishes singing. Randy says: I like your country roots, but it sounded like you were a little under the whole song. Paula says: Your performance didn’t show your amazing vocal capabilities. Simon says: Your fanbase will love it. After a commercial break is Bo Bice, singing I Don’t Want To Be. He’s also from a small town, and we meet his loyal band mates, his loyal family members, and his rather cool girlfriend. However, will that translate into a good performance? Bored says: First off... OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! Now that I’ve gotten the 12 year old AOL using preteen girl out of my system... I thought that he nailed the song, but the shirt makes him look like he’s been doing drugs in the bathroom. Or something like that. Randy says: You are a true rock star. Congratulations. Paula says: Your song totally described yourself! Simon says: You’re the strongest contestant so far, but those are some awful sunglasses. Good Song, Good Outift After yet another commercial break (why are they putting them after each contestant? The anguish! The horror! The money being made by FOX!) we listen to Vonzell Solomon, who has chosen to tackle I Turn To You. In her promo, we find out that Vonzell is peppy (duh), happy (duh), a postal worker (duh), and... a karate master. Hm. Not expecting that one. Well, at least she hasn’t tried to do any of those Constantine kicks... however, will her mastery of karate mean that she’s also mastered singing Christina Aguilera? Bored says: Part of the song seems to be a little bit too low for her, and I think I heard a sharp note or two, but once she gets around the bridge she does a rather good job considering how hard the song is. Randy says: It’s the most difficult song of the night and you nailed it. Welcome to the dog pound! Paula says: I was nervous about your song choice at the beginning, but you nailed it and you connected with the audience. Good job. Simon says: It was flat in the beginning. Up next is Anthony Federov singing Celine Dion’s I Surrender. During his introduction, his dad plays a tape of the first time that Anthony sings. I think I heard a little bit of his glory note obsession showing itself already. Will his glory note obsession show itself tonight? Bored says: The second diva performance of the night! Woohoo! After he got past the first verse, it got must better, and it was probably his best performance ever. And considering that he sang Celine, that’s quite an accomplishment. Randy says: You started off a little rough, but you brought it home in the end. Paula says: That was one of your best performances. Simon says: You are a very brave man... I personally hated it, but you fanbase will love it. And There’s The Suck! Second to last tonight is Constantine Maurolis, singing This Is How You Remind Me by Nickelback. According to his parents, he’s got this MAGIC when he performs. I think he’s got magic, too – he’s got the magical ability of annoying screeches and bad air-kicks, as well as the magical ability to make that damn pouting face at the camera. However, how will his ability to sing stack up against the others tonight? Bored says: Ok, I must do it again... OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG OH MY GOD. Too bad he entirely destroyed it. The bad notes mixed with the air-kicks and then that weird screech at the end... it was just disasterous. Randy says: Your performance was high on performing, but low on vocals. Paula says: It wasn’t my favorite song choice, but it was amazing performance-wise. I would like to note right now that Paula is considerably less drunk tonight – usually I would expect her to simply say “Oh my gosh Constantine, I love you so much and you’re so amazing and I hope you win!” Maybe this whole Corey Clark thing finally taught her a lesson.... Simon says: It came across as a bad imitation of the original. Ouch, Simon, Ouch. Finally, we reach Scott Savol, singing Dancing With My Father. Scott’s mom says that Scott is your average guy Scott says that everyone in Cleaveland is just like him. And Scott’s mom also says that he’s the heart and soul of America. If I lived in the altenate reality that they live in, I would have to kill myself. Or something like that. However, will this Average Joe pull off a better than average performance? Bored says: I think that the place where Scott has talent might have drifted off to the alternate universe that his parents live in. While this is another OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG moment, he did worse on it than Bo and Constantine. It was so boring I wanted to fall asleep at moments, but he’d hit one of those off notes that made me want to twitch. Violently. Randy says: That was your weakest performance in weeks. Paula says: The song didn’t do you justice. Simon says: I’d pack your bags if I were you. Please, let Simon be right... And thus, we end another magical, delightful and slightly repulsive (how can it not be repulsive with Scott on it) episode of American Idol. Final rankings for the night are as follows: 1. Bo Bice 2. Vonzell Solomon 3. Anthony Federov 4. Carrie Underwood 5. Constantine Maurolis 6. Scott Savol Bored’s Bottom Three: Constantine, Anthony, and Scott. Who Bored Wants Gone: Scott. Pleeeaaassseee, Scott... Who Bored Thinks Will Be In The Bottom Three: Scott, Anthony and... either Vonzell or Bo. Who Bored Thinks Will Be Gone: Scott. Please. Did you hate Bo’s outfit as much as I did? If so, drop me an e-mail at boredsim133@yahoo.com
	Insert saying that I think is funny here
