So apparently American Idol was on Sunday at 10 (does Fox even have programming at 10?). Hopefully that’s the last of the creative scheduling. Tonight we head to Aspen.
Jenni Schick is on something. Parents of Virginia, this is the person teaching your children. Annoyingly perky personality aside, she does a decent rendition of a Pat Benatar song.
Curtis Gray is in a 5 person band and has been singing in church from an early age. His performance of Yesterday impresses the judges.
Richie Law, Devan Jones, and Mathenee Treco join him in Hollywood.
Tealana Hedgespeth’s twin is no longer part of their sister act, going to school for performing instead. She tells us her sister is the better singer of the two. I doubt she’s worse. That and she has no distracting piercings.
Haley Smith seems like she’s lost and looking for the nearest 1970s. Steven says he’s honored to be listening to her voice.
Alanna Snare waitresses at a bar famous for selling rocky mountain oysters, which aren’t what they sound like at all. After an anatomy lesson about the reproductive organs about various animals, her singing falls flat.
Shelby Tweten is from Minnesota, don’t ya know? She was recently diagnosed as bipolar and has been suffering with depression for years. Carrie Underwood’s Temporary Home is the perfect sad song for her voice.
Jairon Jackson (no relation) opts to sing an original song. Not crazy about the song, but his voice at least sounds good, mostly.
Angie Zeiderman wants to be Lady GaGa. One’s enough, thanks. Once she’s done singing in a Swedish accent, I half expect her to start stripping. Her second song manages to win over the last hold out, Randy.
Magic Cyclops is the last performer of the night. This should be a complete waste of time. After one terrible song, the judges of course ask him to sing another. At least he proves to have some decent jokes to tell, unlike most of the idiots.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of American Idol Season 11 Episode 5, which airs Thursday at 8/7c on Fox.
