All of the contestants on American Idol decided to butcher some country songs this week. Any time there seems to be a theme that I get excited about they butcher it. Just like 50’s night, country night was no exception. I thought maybe they would actually sing the songs in a country style but they just turned them into Idol garbage. Kenny Rogers wouldn’t have been my pick as guest singer either, then again I wouldn’t have had Barry f-ing Manilow on for 50’s night. Kenny is no Willie or Dolly. I wish they could have had either of them on. The kids did awfully and the judges didn’t make much sense.

I was also wondering who dressed Randy and Mandisa this evening. Mandisa was wearing some awful brown print that was not very flattering. It was horrible, she looked like she found it at a Sears. Randy had on pink stripes with a red vest. It looked like he was part of the circus. Yikes! Seacrest also needs to do something about that George Michael stubble. Everyone also got really catty with each other tonight.

As far as people who may go home. Taylor Hicks’ performance was completely lacking of any of his normal spark or personality. It was a drastic change and I wasn’t sure he put all he could have into it. I have a feeling he’ll be next on the chopping block. Katharine McPhee knocked it out of the box and Kelly Pickler looked great. Speaking of Pickler there have been rumors of her personality being false. If that girl is faking it she’s a damn fine actor. I wouldn’t care either way. Her voice did sound kind of tired though.

Paula still seems kind of fucked up to me and I hope that she fixes whatever it is that’s wrong with her. It is amusing but also worrisome.
