American Idol Vegas Night And Chair Part 1 Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Kittens, there are things to be said about this mad mash up of SYTYCD Vegas round plus Group Night, Part Deux plus the Chair.  So many things.  Let me explain.  No, no . . . it is too much.  Let me sum up.  We'll break down the episode tomorrow, but for tonight just mad respect.  Mad respect to Cecile Frot-Coutaz and the SiNi for their diabolical genius inventing new ways to torture these kids.  Hale and well met to Jimmy IV for bringing it raw like it should be broughten to those fools in his Beatles group night critiques.  I look forward to his mentoring sessions each week which seem like they will mostly be Home Truths with Jimmy IV in which he takes it to the little famewhores on the regular.  Byrd, the Bitchy Vocal Coach can be his trusty sidekick.  Let the church say "Amen".  Pure love to the judgery for . . . well, just for being.  Family, I know there will come a time, not too far in the future, when I will call JLo a tone deaf cow.  I will proclaim in the strongest terms that the Dawg is the most useless waste of a sweater in all of creation.  I may even turn on my dementedly perfect Steven Tyler.  But for this one, shining night, well they were damn near perfect, noodles.  Sending Hollie Cavanagh and golden haired Deandre home because they were not ready?  Oh my.  Bagging Lakeisha (who we never even knew before tonight) because Idol does not like big girls?  Say what now?  Turning out singers who were never going to be power players like Molly the White House intern?  Well, shut my mouth and call me a lady!  And most of all, for closing the palace gates against Gokey 2.0.  I just don't think I've ever.  Family, I didn't think it was possible to love this show more than I already do.

It's a long way down, noodles, but right now I'm high on AI life.  5 up, 5 down, 30 to go.  I'm not happy with everyone they put through tonight, but I get it.  Even the ones I wouldn't have chosen, I get it.  I'm spent and happy and just, no Gokey 2.0?  Wow.

  1. Kat, so glad I'm back on US soil and able to bask in the AI goodness and your commentary that comes with it.

    DeAndre is in my mom's hula group, so it was a pro-Brackensick campaign at home. Le Sigh on his cut. My mom says he's very quiet and modest, which explains why he got less screen time than that psycho pleather wedding. But on the whole, aside from the mighty Iraheta, teens on Idol are bad news in the long run.
