For "Standards From the Rat Pack Era" week, Idol used Jamie Foxx as a mentor and I was honestly surprised at how effective and insightful he was. He gave really good advice to the contestants though I could have lived without him getting a whiff of Danny's breath. Too bad that it doesn't actually matter how well each of the contestants perform their song. The Powers That Be have worked the agenda for a Danny/Adam finale, which they will probably get. If they do, then the Rant will end in two weeks because I will refuse to waste any more of my time with American Idol (AKA The Raspy and Screech Show).
Kris Allen - "The Way You Look Tonight"
Despite the fact that Simon call him a Spaniel (WTH?), Kris gave a pretty darn wonderful performance. There wasn't special mood lighting and he didn't hit notes that would send all the dogs in the neighborhood running but it was solid. Unfortunately, that doesn't matter because most of the drones in America think that it wasn't all that great because the 4 bobble heads told them that it was just okay and he has no chance to win because the finale will be Danny/Adam. At least they didn't discuss whether or not he shops in the women's department again.
Allison Iraheta - "Someone To Watch Over Me"
HER BEST PERFORMANCE YET. This was not only beautifully sung but she enunciated well (sometimes a problem for her) and looked beautiful to boot. Kara made me take back all the mean things that I have said about her by touting Allison for the finals then Simon took the douche bag award for saying that it was only a 7 out of 10. What?!?!?!?! There has been talk of Paula or Simon not coming back next season. They should just fire them all and get new blood for next season along with a new producer that can meet the time limits by cutting out useless banter. I also recommend shock collars for the judges to keep their comments to a maximum of 45 seconds.
Matt Giraud - "My Funny Valentine"
I like Matt better when he is singing in his lower register. There were a few notes that were off but I thought he redeemed himself a bit this week. Kara hated it so she is back on my "useless" list. My good fortune towards her was destined not to last. Simon must have finally gotten a much needed cigarette or a shot of his favorite liquor because he was suddenly in a much better mood.
Go Danny Go - "Come Rain or Come Shine"
Come rain or come shine, I will finally get to see this smug sympathy-pandering tool shown the door. Oh, how I hope that it is this week. Much like every other week, he yelled and growled at us and then ate up the praise from Paula and the rest of those puppets. He also made sure to tell us that, like Paula, he can see the finish line. He is so full of himself that he stinks. He is the male equivalent of Lil. They have to remind us every week that he can sing. If he was actually that wonderful then we wouldn't need a reminder.
Screech! - "Feeling Good"
I was not feeling good about his suit or this performance. I don't care how long he can hold a note. I still don't like him and his singing voice, in the key of Mariah, grates on my nerves. This did not stop the judges from giving him a tongue bath and crowing him the eventual winner. The only honest comment made by the judges was made by Randy, of all people, who called him 'Broadway". Really? Did you just figure that out? He has been putting his previous Broadway experience to the test over the past few months while acting like a rocker. Jeez! The hilarious part is that they all talk about how wonderful he is and then Simon blows it by not remembering his name. If Simon was really that in love with him as an "artist" then he would put forth some effort to learn his name.
