American Idol Rewind

I won't write a full post on this week's episode - I've watched Lost and 24 since then, so I can't possibly remember what happened. So here are some quickies to whet your appetite for a full post next week

1) The hardest working person in Hollywood right now is the poor choreographer that has to create a large dance number incorporating a blind guy each week. Until dude gets booted (next 2-3 weeks), this person is earning their money and then some.

2) Recipe for getting to top 4 if you are a guy: Eye makeup and bangs. It seems to work the past few years.

3) Recipe for getting to top 4 if you are a girl: Unexpected combination of girl next door, and freak next door. See pretty blond with full arm tattoo who picks horrible songs.

4) America loves a 16 year old girl that can sing - but they all get voted off eventually.

5) If you dress like Justin Timberlake long enough we will catch on. You know who you are.

6) Playing an instrument is good, unless you are the 2nd or 3rd best at it. Sitting at that piano knowing you aren't the best is a lonely, and temporary place to be.

7) Guys are aloud to shout into the microphone. Girls aren't. Be careful 16 year old rocker girl.

8) No matter who you are, if you are at the center of the stage, you can't celebrate and then hug the person who was just voted off. You look like a dick. Hug, then celebrate. Please.

9) This new rule about judges saving someone is stupid. But in the final weeks it will be worth it. For now it is obvious they aren't going to waste their one save on a week 11 amateur.

10) New judge is already on my nerves a bit. I don't like how she emulates a person's race / ethnicity when she speaks to them. I'm frankly surprised she doesn't close her eyes when she talks to blind dude.
