Well, it doesn’t look too good for a national Mike Huckabee campaign… i think i’ll sort that out in the morning, but from what i can tell, he’s pulled the plug… i didn’t really watch the results coming in tonight, but what i did watch is American Idol, and i decided to blog the show…

EIGHT MEN OUT…

(JOHN)-LUKE MENARD: i don’t like this guy’s voice at all… it just doesn’t even sound real… and not in a good way… it just sounds so plastic and fake and like a little girl is up there singing it… and i think he’s in danger of a-go-go-ing home… Randy says his timing was off and it was a little corny, but a-ight… Paula was so surprised that she can’t put her words together… she actually sounds like that political commentary guy on SNL last week… Simon didn’t like it either and thought it was “girlie”…

DAVID ARCHELETTA: thirsty AND he has to go potty… i hate when that happens… aw, now he has a new most embarrassing moment… it should disappear quickly, ’cause this kid’s the BOMB, right?… i know this song… i like that he’s playing the piano… Phil Collins?… yeah… that’s it… much slower arrangement… it works pretty nicely… now he’s standing and finishing up nicely… his voice is a little girlie, too, but he’s so young it’s alright… Randy thinks it was like a concert… Paula wants to shrink his head again?… perfectly imperfectly perfect for this competition?… Simon says it wasn’t as good as last week and it was a little gloomy…

DAN-UEL NOREAGA: TMTH? please… i can’t stand it when people actually talk like that… Tainted Love?… UGH… tainted love… well, the judges may like it because it’s up beat, but his vocal is very shaky… i’m not quite impressed… more showmanship than substance for me, dawg… Randy says, there’s good and bad - pitchy and shy? Rhianna did this song?… Paula says the he’s a bright light, sensitive and spicy… and he looks fabulous… SImon says what the heck?… it was horrible and “absolutely useless”… HATED IT… yeah, dawg…

DAVID (no comment) HERNANDEZ: i’m going to try to ignore the news stories that were flooding the web today… he sang really well last week… and his voice has a nice tone to it today… so these are 80s songs… isn’t this a girl song?… yeah… Celine, right?… what the… i mean, he did alright, but, jeesh, sing something manly, dawg… Randy says he overshot some of the notes… Paula says he has the best vocal of the group… Simon says that he should’ve had more soul, but he’s safe…

MICHAEL JOHNS (JACOBJINGLEHIMERSCHMIT):everyone knows that the kangaroo is supposed to win the fight… i feel like running down a school hallway… could you describe the ruckus?… okay… so he’s singing Don’t You Forget About Me, the theme song to The Breakfast Club… and HEY HEY HEY HEY… oooooooh… he’s alright… he’s not as good as he’s been… and now he’s pretty much just yelling… at least it’s pretty close to singing, but it’s still yelling… he should be self, but i don’t know that it was my favorite… Randy said he loved it dude, Paula said that she’s glad he’s defining who he is… Simon liked it, didn’t love it, thought it needed more soul…

DAVID COOK: hello? wow… it’s so far removed from Lionel… this is such a creepy song… well, the video was creepy and it has tainted the song for live… i get that he wants to be the “real” rockstar, but i really don’t get this arrangement… and i don’t think that his vocal is all that good to be honest… and if he talks trash to Simon again, he should be gone… Randy thought it was brilliant, Paula thinks that he’s a shining star and Simon thinks he’s brave and he loved it… oh well… maybe i missed something…

JASON (FIDEL) CASTRO: okay, his voice is weird when he talks… oh no… not Hallelujah… isn’t there a rule against that?… well… you know, i love this song and i’ve only really heard it sung well by three people… Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley and Kevin Max… but i have to say that, despite the breathiness, this is really, really good… very safe though, he didn’t go for any big notes on it… maybe he would’ve fallen apart… Randy says that it’s a high level of difficulty, but he worked it out… Paula says… i don’t know what she’s saying… something about being unique… Simon says that it was absolutely brilliant…

CICKA-CHICKA-CHIKEZIE: i’ve pretty much wanted this dude to go home since week one… since then, he’s done pretty well though… and this is starting out pretty well for him… it’s a pretty boring song for me though… oh dear… when he starts going off, he’s like way off… right?… ouch… i didn’t like it… Randy said it was a tough song choice… Paula said he switched it up and that his vocals were really good… Simon says why the heck are you singing a Whitney Houston song?… not a smart move…

tough call to see who goes home this week… i’m gonna go with Jacuzzi and Luke…
