Tonight better not be sad because I have used up my quota of “TV tears” on All My Children’s Jesse & Angie Reunion.
Looks like tonight the contestants are dressed up in 1960s clothes; at least it seems the girls are. Seeing Carly dressed like Audrey Hepburn is rather strange.
For filler fodder, Ryan jokes about how it’s just the funnest when they are live! They take this time to address a couple of the controversies that have been created, er, I mean brewing this season.
Controversy number one – is it fair that some of these kids are seasoned pros while some are straight from a sushi restaurant job? Paula answers noooo, they should ALL be pursuing a career in music; if not why are they here?
Controversy number two – does Simon use reverse psychology when judging the contestants, to somehow sway the votes? Simon denies using any Jedi mind tricks, but thanks for thinking that he was that sly.
Next we get to see the video set to Daughtry’s “What About Now” with the 24 contestants and a plane and paparazzi thrown in for a good measure. There is not a single ugly kid in the mix this year. This just may be the best looking top 24 yet.
Group Sing Time of a medley of 60s songs is up next. The 12 guys go first and they sound pretty good together. It looks like the stylists have already gotten a hold of them; they are all wearing black suits with ties. The 12 ladies come out next and they are all decked out in varying outfits from Grandma’s attic. Most of them seem to be having a good time, although Amanda is like WTH am I doing here?
Now it’s time to eliminate one of the guys. First a recap of Tuesday’s show showing the belting, the fussing, the rocking, the theatrical, the very boring, and the oh no you din’t!!
Without further ado, Garrett is called up by Ryan and just-like-that he is sent home. No commercial break, no last hurrah, just bye-bye Garrett Haley. Poor little we-never-knew-you guy takes the news well.
For all of the changes that they’ve made on the show, seems like they’d do away with the crappy singing of the Song That Got Me Voted Off. With all of the Leif/Frampton comparisons, I think Garrett looks a bit like the lead singer of Whitesnake as well, but then I am a gal from the 80s. If they do a theme week from that era, please someone do “Here I Go Again.” But I digress.
Now it’s time to send one of the girls home. We see the recap of last night’s show: the flu-infested, the lifeless, the divas, the folksies, the screamers, and mostly the blondes.
Ryan calls Kristy to the stage and she and her Faye Dunaway hairdo are safe. And we hope to goodness she is over that bad flu bug.
Amy Davis will be the first girl to go tonight. Paula says something about painting that door on the knob or some such nonsense. Poor Amy now has to warble that Connie Francis tune again. After two notes, My Kid says, “How did she make it past top 50?” My answer, “Bikini model. Google Amy Jean Davis.” Kid’s reply, “No thanks.” Hubby says to Kid, “Can I borrow your laptop?”
Because we have more time to mutilate, torture, and kill… we get to see the latest music video from Paula Abdul. The song was produced by our very own Randy Jackson, who also is featured playing guitar in the vid. Just when I had finally got this song out of my head, here we go again. It’s not horrible and Paula looks better than ever. My Kid reminisces that DJ on Full House had a poster of Paula on her wall; thank goodness for Nick at Nite, where Uncle Jesse will be young and gorgeous and mulleted forever.
Back to the eliminations… Ryan calls both Amanda and Joanne up to the stage; one of them is going home. They both look retro yet beautiful in the 60s garb. Joanne will be the one leaving tonight. Randy gives her some good advice while Simon snarks into his Coke cup. My Kid and I ponder if this means that Amanda was the one with the next least amount of votes? While Joanne sings, the camera pans the other girls hugging and crying and comforting, and we argue over which Random Blonde is which.
Chikezie and Colton are called to the stage. Keez cops a ‘tude while getting up, but no wonder. At least no orange suit tonight thank goodness. And could they make Colton look more like Clay Aiken?? Colton/Clay is the last one of the evening to go home. Another of the kids who did not have a snowball’s chance in the pits of Hades.
Now it’s montage time, set to that melancholy song for Garrett, Amy, Joanne, and Colton. Then Colton disguised as Clay does Elvis one last time.
So we are down two teenage boys and two girl models. I totally called the guys wrong (sorry Luke and Jason) but got the gals correct.
Gotta go get My Hubby off of Google now…
‘Til next week! Ta!
