Well, here goes another week of Idol, sans Megan, oh Joy! Tonight's theme - celebrity look alikes. Everybody is born with innate talents and one of mine is casting celebrities to play real people in the movie version of things.
8. Scott McIntyre - Art Garfunkel, circa 1968. I thought long and hard about Josh Groban, but in the end had to stick with Art. This dude has the knack of making every song sound like high school theater. Awful again. And what's with that guitar? While I hate his singing, at least I could count on some decent piano... Have a nice life. (BTW. Did you see his parents' pad? They must have major coin).
6. Kris Allen - Brandon Walsh (aka Jason Priestley). His favorite cellist must be Yo-Yo Ma because he yo-yo'ed back down tonight with his weird version of a danceable song that was, well, undanceable. And what's with his now prop guitar? If you are not going to play the thing, then don't wear it.
4. Danny Gokey - French Stewart. I have come to a conclusion about old Danny. He's a bit of a dork. He is Soul Patrol without any real soul (just the like the (un)original Taylor what's his name). As usual, Danny's performance was serviceable. And it was a tale of three songs. The first was slightly off key and bad. The second was a decent ballad of sorts. And the third was typical Michael McDonald-esque belting. Good not great.

7. Lil Rounds - Tootie (aka Kim Fields): I agreed with Simon a bit here. She is a bit lost. I never liked her, but I thought she was better than this. She sounds less and less good each week and now sounds like she'd be a good front person for a wedding band. Not good at all. Nope. Not good at all.

5. Anoop - Ray Romano (Indian version). Solid in parts. Dull in others. Terrible dresser as usual. And Simon stole my yo-yo line. Yawn...

3. Matt Giraud - Justin Timberlake (super light). Not great. Pretty good at times. WAY overrated by the judges, but can you blame them, especially when compared to the ones that came before him.
2. Allison Iraheta - Kelly Clarkson. I really, really wanted to cast Miss Piggy, but I don't want to be mean, so I'll cast Kelly Clarkson from her Idol days. I kept waiting for the power that never came, but this was a great overall performance.
1. Adam Lambert. And finally... wow. Maybe the best performance of the best contestant of this, and maybe any season on Idol. I mean, who is better, more original, more versatile, and has more star power than Adam Lambert? Nobody. I am completely converted. I have been completely won over by this guy's massive talent. Incredible. And who would play him in the movie? At first I thought Tim Curry circa Rocky Horror. And then I thought that little horror, Joe Jonas. And then it hit me like a bolt. Stay with me folks. Ready, because I am dead on here. Warren Beatty circa Bonnie and Clyde.

Uncanny...
That is outstanding. You should get this one seen by more than the 3 people who read this blog. It's actually good.
HEY!!! I'm reader number four. Don't forget to count me! With the number of readers going up this fast, soon there will be so much traffic on this site we won't be able to get in to read it. The effects will be similar to that of urban sprawl... Loss of community spirit and values, less leisure time, traffic congestion and longer commuting times, reduced worker productivity, loss of a sense of place... oh, the list goes on and on. We will all suffer...
