American Idol Guys - Round 3

1. Scott Savol - I Can't Help Myself by The Four Tops
   I love this song. I did not love his version. I would love for him to go away. Please go away!
   
2. Bo Bice / Blow Thrice / Ho Mice / Throw Dice / Flow Nice - I'll Be by Edwin McCain
   Sorry about that up there, something about this guy turns me into Fezzig and I must rhyme. I can't help it. Look, it's Bizarro Edwin McCain! That's all.
   
3. Anthony Federov - I've Got You by Marc Anthony
   Vocals were strong, he has a Clay-like voice and therefore I like it, but the song choice was not so good. And he should not dance, ever, anymore. Should not. Ever. And I still want to sneak up behind him and smack him on the back of the head. I don't know why. That reminds me - last week, I said that I know someone in my real life that I just want to slap for some reason. It's not that they annoy me at all. Anyway, just so you know, it's not you. It's not you either.
   
4. Nikko Smith (or, Nikko Fedora-off? Heh heh heh. Look at me, I'm so funny.) - Georgia On My Mind by Ray Charles
   When he took off his beef jerky hat, I was afraid that he would then saw off the top of his head, so that we could see that Georgia was, indeed, on his mind. That was the only reason to take off the hat that I could think of, except that it looked kind of interesting hanging beside him on the microphone stand. I think he and Anthony made their own "buy one, get one free" deal at LensCrafters by sharing one pair of glasses. Randy's are also similar. Hmm - I only wear glasses at night when I take my contacts out, but still, someone with a giant face like mine can't wear wee little glasses like that. If that's what all the kids are wearing these days, I guess I'll have to be uncool. Back to Nikko - smooth, dude. I liked it. And finally, I wonder which family member suggested last week's Marvin Gaye song? Nikko's grandmother?
   
5. Travis Tucker - Every Little Step by Bobby Brown
   I feel like I'm watching an episode of Kids Incorporated and heyyyyy, he ended with the famous pointy pose! (I miss Shack.) But Travis is a cutie-patootie and I like him. And he didn't say, "it blows my mind that you would even talk to MAY", like Bobby Brown does. That's good, because I hate that. (I'm sure Justin Timberlake will be crushed when he finds out this bit of information, because he does it as well.) "Maye" is my grandmother, "me" is an objective personal pronoun. Which one makes more sense in this situation?
   
6. Mario Vasquez - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart by The BeeGees
   I started to nod off at the beginning, but then it got better. I think it's just because I'm not a big fan of this song. And possibly because with this song comes an mental image of Ruben Studdard's giant tongue.
   
7. Constantine Maroulis - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
   Ack. That was NOT magic. That was the kind of magic that happens when the magician skips every other class in magician school and ends up really sawing someone in half. Also, dear Randy & Paula - when someone doesn't sound/look like Sting, that is actually the definition of a "bad impersonation of Sting". If he sounded/looked like Sting, that would be a GOOD impression of Sting. Make sense now? Thank goodness for Simon, I was beginning to think Paula & Randy were deaf. And I won't even mention the c**st ha*r and the chain. Ew. At least I didn't have to see two displays of that tonight, thanks to the voting off of Joe Murena, the other contestant who holds a degree in How Not to Button Stuff from The Tom Jones School of Skeeziness.
   
8. Anwar don't-type-Sadat-don't-type-Sadat-don't-type-Sadat Robinson - What a Wonderful World
   Wow, very good. I think this top 12 will be much better than last season's, which I was not interested in at all. That's a great outfit for him, too. I hope he's in the competition long enough for me to figure out who he reminds me of. The only thing missing from that performance was the little cartoon bluebird that should have gone twittering by.
   

Huh, I guess whoever caught Travis's hat gave it back, because he was wearing it at the end. It's too bad Nikko didn't throw his hat, because it would have made a nice little mid-show snack for someone. Looked like pretty good jerky.

Edited because I got poor Anthony's song wrong. Ooops. Sorry that I had you singing Richard Marx twice!
