AI does Queen. I’m very, very ….. concerned. Yes, concerned.
Well, nothin’ I can do about it. Here we go.
Hm…. Bucky is not really feelin’ the Fat-Bottomed Girls. He looks vaguely embarrassed to me, as if he’s thinking Hee hee …. I just said fat bottom. He doesn’t seem a real FAN of the Fat-Bottomed Girls, which I believe one truly needs to be to sing “Fat-Bottomed Girls, you make the rockin’ world go ’round.” I mean, just a thought.
Oh. You know which Fat-Bottomed Girl DID make the rockin’ world go ’round? MANDISA.
Ace (*KA-POWW*!): “We Will Rock You.” Sighhhh. You know that permanent scar baby-face Ace has? I’m pretty sure I now have one, too. On my eardrums. And …. um …. what was that let-me-walk-my-voice-down-the-stairs moment?? The bottom just fell out right there. Guess it was NOT a fat bottom — which is something he coulda used to cushion that spanking he got from the judges. (Simon: It was We Will Rock You Gently. Hahaha.)
Kellie: “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Aggghhh! The lighting on her!!! Sweet Moses!! You know, I once worked in a funeral home and, lemme tell ya, I’ve seen that face before. Blimey. All I can say is “Nothing really matters to meeeeee ……” And Simon’s comment is quite beyond her understanding so he has to simplify: “Okay, it worked.”
Chris: “Innuendo.” I didn’t like the song, but he sounded great. ‘Nuf said. Oh, wait. Not ‘nuf. May I say this? His voice could possibly get a bit wearing after a while. His vibrato-o-o-o-o-o is very wi-i-i-i-i-i-de. NOW ‘s ‘nuf.
Katherine: She loves herself, you know. “Who Wants to Live Forever.” Oh, my. She’s having a Celine Dion moment. And I. don’t. like. Celine Dion. I’m sorry. There’s just something about her. You know how we all have foods that we think we’re supposed to like, but we don’t, we JUST DON’T? No matter how hard you TRY to like that food, you just can’t? She’s that. And for me, it’s cheesecake. She’s my personal cheesecake. I feel I’m supposed to like it, people are surprised when I say I don’t like it because they LOOOVE it, but, well, too bad. More cheesecake for them, I guess.
Elliott: “Somebody to Love.” I love this song. And I like Elliott. Bring it, baby!! Oh, dear. I like his voice, but he just doesn’t have it for this song. Again, with the non-connection. But it sorta works, I guess.
Taylor: “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” What’s happening?? He missed the mic kick-down. WHAT are you DOING, Salt’n’Peppa Elvis?? WHAT’S with the tippy toe on the stairs?? You know, lately, he’s begun to make me verrry uncomfortable. I’m constantly worrying that he’ll throw out his back with his cra-a-a-a-zy, hunchy monkeyshines. Or worse, that he’ll split his pants, revealing smiley face boxers. Stuff like that makes me wanna cry. Randy and Paula like it, but, thank God, Simon says, “Taylor, ARE YOU DRUNK??”
Which gives me an idea: Next week, maybe I’ll watch and blog while drunk. And I don’t really drink, so that’d be somepin’, I’m tellin’ ya. One glass of wine, basically, and I’d be “hee hee ….. he just said fat bottom ….. hee hee …..”
You know, I may be onto something here. What if we all blogged AI drunk? Just a thought, really. (No, don’t start drinking NOW.)
And last …. Li’l Hattie McDaniel: “The Show Must Go On.” (Okay. I gotta admit, this is the least Hattie McDanielly she’s looked.) I don’t like this song. Or her outfit. And I could swear those are her old-timey stable wench boots from last week. Oh, bleah. Let’s just go with Simon’s comment: “I found it all a little weeahhd.”
Oh, I don’t know. I’m tired and cranky. So, yeah. It was all a little weeahhd.
Update: Cullen give his thoughts.
Oooh, snarky snark Tracey 😉
I thought, surprisingly so, that just about everyone gave really good performances last night, except for Ace. It was difficult for me to pick the other bottom two.
I wasn’t as down on Kellie’s performance as I was on her wardrobe and look. I thought she did a karaoke-contest winning performance, but she wasn’t top 3.
Where we most diverge, I thought Elliot, Taylor and Paris were phenomenal last night.
i know what you mean about Celine Dion. i mean, i love her. but my cheesecake is Elvis. i want to turn my ears off permanently any time he comes on the radio.
Thank God someone else doesn’t like cheesecake. Thought I was the only one.
My sister had cheesecake at her wedding because she and her husband don’t like regular cake(!). But I digress…
My cheesecake =
The Rolling Stones
Rod Stewart
Elton John
The Grateful Dead
James Taylor
Elvis
Want to like them… Just… Can’t…
But Queen rocks.
And I’m apparently the only person in the universe who doesn’t watch AI, so I can’t comment on anything else.
Stage my intervention at will.
WG, interesting that you put The Grateful Dead on the list. I agree with you that they are a band I want to like, but just can’t. Now, this will be blasphemous, so cover your eyes if easily offended, but I feel this way about a lot of the Beatles’ music — I want to like it, but just can’t.
I am, however, a big fan of both cheesecake and Elvis.
I just noticed – you added me to your blog roll. Thanks Tracey! 🙂
//old-timey stable wench boots//
I am HOWLING!!!
No, I can see that, Cullen. I don’t really *obsessively* like much of their music up until right before they broke up. But the White Album/Abbey Road stuff? Mmm…
Oh, I am so sad I missed it, I was too busy seeing Queen w/ Paul Rodgers at the Rose Garden in PDX. They rocked the house. Not bad for some old guys.
Thanks for your weekly AI updates… they make me chuckle. Love your blog.
Brian — Thanks! I’m jealous that you got to see that!
i don’t have to watch the show to enjoy your commentary!
“my personal cheesecake” is also celine dion, i hope the girl on AI didn’t beat her chest also. yikes!
