After today’s frightening and exhausting panic attack, my roommate, John, gave me one of his precious valiums from his stash, and I took it and then a two hour nap. I’d never taken one before, but I’m not really sure it did anything, being somewhat significantly past it’s half-life. Nevertheless, I woke and felt as if I didn’t need to vomit anymore, and the pressure off my chest was relieved.
Inspired by some of the people on twitter on the East Coast live-blogging American Idol, I decided that an evening of completely mindless and low-key entertainment was in order, so I sat in the TV room and watched the Top 9 duke it out. Well, OK, I missed the first two singers, Anoop and Megan, but I watched them on the AI website, and I live-tweeted the broadcast, which was fun!
Here are my thoughts:
- Anoop: Beautiful voice, lovely eyebrows, nice stage presence.
- Megan: She reminds me of Sarah McLachlan, with that breathy sing-song style.
- Danny Gokey: as I tweeted, my iPhone kept wanted to rename him Hokey. Tonight he just wasn’t on.
- Allison: Too distracted by trying to play the guitar at the same time as sing.
- Scott: on the piano, sitting down, makes it difficult to sing and support one’s voice without a lot of practice. He kept singing flat, which bothered me to no end.
- Matt: why, oh, why couldn’t someone put a ball gag in his mouth?
- Lil: Don’t make an alto sing a song for a soprano. Also, she sings flat, too. Isn’t pitch control important to anyone else but me?
- Adam: Very Steven Tyler-esque, but considering he was re-arranging Wild Cherry’s “Play The Funky Music” it was completely appropriate. A definite winner.
- Kris: Another fantastic performance by a talented singer.
OK, so with that in mind, who do I think will be going home? Well, having not watched any of the season up until this point makes it difficult, but I’ll say in order of likelihood: Scott, Matt, Lil, Allison, Danny, Megan, Anoop, Kris, and Adam.
