I am reaaaaaally unimpressed with this season on Idol so far. Bad song choices are killing some talented people--haven't they learned yet? It's season EIGHT. You don't know by now not to sing Whitney, Mariah, Michael Jackson, etc.? Don't you know to pick a song that shows off your range and is age-appropriate? Le sigh.
One dazzling beacon of hope, however, is Nick Mitchell (AKA Norman Gentile). He's a comedian of sorts who surely tried out initially as a joke, but he made the judges laugh so much they put him through once, twice, three times. He will almost surely make it through to the top 12 based on last night's dramatic performance of "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls. Most of the contestants last night were boring, pitchy, and overall awful. He was the most entertaining part of the night, which does not say much about the quality of contestants this season.
On a side note, I HAAAAAATED Adam Lambert's performance. I didn't like him in Hollywood week, and I like him even less after last night. I can't find a clip to it, but it's just as well. Self-indulgent, shrieky, melodramatic...go back to musical theater!!!!
