IDOL HANDS: American Idol, Play Him Out, Harry

Filed Under: TV Idol Hands

We like American Idol. Too much. Tommy Button: I totally wanna go on a bro-date with Harry Connick Jr. Charming, hilarious and Southern. And Mom would love him. Not so much with Lady Gaga, bro-date or date date. When I heard Lady Gaga's name mentioned I vomited in my mouth a little. But that's normal. Then she performed and I'm pretty sure I coughed up a little poop. No really, she was terrible and epitomized why I don't like her. The whole Jodorowsky-meets-a-gay(er)-Midsummer Night's Dream escape was super pretentious in a really stupid way. Not to mention, bad choreography. I'm no Bill T. Jones, but I know things about stuff. Molly Eichel: Look, I love LaGa but what in the name of shitty performance art was that? But what are you gonna do? The chick has a Rilke quote tattooed on her body. I bet she also has books filled with lowercased poetry. I liked it better when she was just wearing Kermits and people thought she had a dick. TB: I was surprised to see Big Mike in the bottom two.

ME: Me too. It's a shame, considering he was at the top of the pops on Tuesday. But Powersox in the bottom three instead of Casey James?! I didn't want to my fave poor man's Seger to get kicked off when the Punxsutawney Phil's humanoid cousin still in the running, but even Casey thought he was going down last night. TB: I wasn't surprised to see Aaron Kelly get the boot. Tough break, kid but like the man said "Sometimes you eat the bar, and, well, sometimes he eats you." But probably the biggest shocker of the night was American Idol actually fitting their show in a two hour time slot.
