Sorry We’ve Been “Idol”
We’ve been busy: spring cleaning, Netflix, and living at sea for awhile. Anyhoo. Tonight is part one of the 2-night season finale of American Idol, in case you’ve been living under a rock.
Last week, prior to the Top 3 show, we tried to share our predictions, but Meatloafing had apparently been hacked and we were unable to post. Nonetheless, we were right:
Anne: i thought archuleta would win all along, but i honestly think cook has a chance
Anne: syesha better get dumped tonight
Meatloafing: i think america wants the davids to have a face-off
Anne: syesha has clearly not been that popular all along—she’s almost always been in the bottom 2
Meatloafing: she’ll get shat on tonight i think
Tonight, the obvious choice is Archuleta. But here at Meatloafing, we’re partial to Cook.
David Archuleta is tiny and has weird mannerisms. After Andrew Lloyd Webber criticized D.A. for keeping his eyes closed while singing, I started to notice other oddities: he doesn’t move his mouth very much when he sings, his tongue sort of lays there like a dead fish. But Archuleta is obviously the crowd fave—the audience goes wild whenever he performs, and last week’s footage of the Top 3 Idols visiting their hometowns clearly showed his overwhelming popularity. Also, while the visits were very organized and basically fake, Archuleta’s tears were the only ones that seemed real. America loves that shit, and even I found it touching.
However, we’re hoping David Cook is the next American Idol. For one, he’s refreshing. Aside from Kelly Clarkson and Fantasia Barrino, the other Idols have been sort of weird. (Clay Aiken, we love you!) Cook, while slightly Scott Stapp–esque, seems like a sweetheart and frankly has more sex appeal than David Archuleta (ew). He could use some style guidance, but whatever. The moment he sang “Teenage Wasteland,” he won me over for good. David Cook, tonight is your night to shine!
