American Idol Top 12

Goodness, I keep missing the boys!

So now, it's Top 12 time!

The theme is Rolling Stones. Wow, that's a lot of hits to pick from. (I can't believe I've never seen the Stones.)

I always wondered about Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (and, come to think of it, Joe Perry and Steven Tyler). Are they friends or lovers? They have odd overtones in their relationships. Either that or I just have a dirty mind.

Michael - Miss you. Giving it his all. I give him an 8. Ryan is getting in Simon's face. That was funny.

Didi - Playing with Fire. I really hate this. I don't even recognize the song. This is tortured and annoying. Well, judges liked it, but not me.

Casey - It's All Over Now. Eh. Nice, I guess. Why is Randy so fat after gastric bypass?
Simon said it was like an audition. I agree.

Lacey - Ruby Tuesday. I still think everything Lacey sings sounds exactly the same. I hope she goes home, I'm really tired of her. Simon agrees with me, naturally.

Andrew - Gimme Shelter. Well, at least I can recognize it. I just don't see Andrew as a star. I also hate the neck tattoo. I don't like tattoos in general but I firmly believe that the face and neck should be completely off-limits.

The ad for Human Target looks good, but I refuse to watch any more tv.

Katie - Wild Horses. She does have a beautiful voice. I liked it. I didn't love it, but I did like it.

Tim - Under My Thumb. Tim looks like every teenage boy I knew in 1970. What's with the retro hair? He reminds me of Bobby Sherman. Bobby Sherman singing Under My Thumb? Oh, God, no! Seriously, this is a bad choice of songs. Why is it reggae? Oh, this is bad...... It's a shame that That 70's Show isn't still on the air, he could have a job.

Siobhan - Paint it Black. Dare I hope? I totally loved it, including the scream! The only interesting performer so far tonight. I'd still love to know what that tattoo is. Oh, I looked it up. Good 'ole internet. From Celibrifi: The Ink: Siobhan currently boasts three tattoos. On her right shoulder (middle inset) is the cover image from Edward Gorey's book "The Gashlycrumb Tinies." Now you know.

Lee - Beast of Burden. I just like Lee, he is cool. He has a radio voice. He'll have a career no matter what. I like this. I just have to say that my friend Stef's husband thought the song said I'll never see your pizza burning. I love when people get lyrics wrong. For years I thought Carlos Santana was singing, "Jeannie Jones and her bulldog, too." No, really.

Paige - Honky Tonky Woman. I find her very pedestrian. I really hate this. I didn't understand the juxtaposition of the lyrics.

Aaron - Angie. I like him. I like the performance. Even though he doesn't look old enough to be out by himself.

Crystal: My favorite! Can't Always Get What You Want. Loved it, no surprise! You cannot buy what this kid's got. Not her best, but her almost best is better than most.

Whew, that's done!
