He’s Ain’t Heavy, He’s Neil Diamond! (And he’s on Idol Tonight!)
Carly talks to EW’s Michael Slezak (and Missy Schwartz) at what looks like a bar and discusses Idol stuff. He even brought her flowers! Carly discloses that during Dolly Week, her first song choice was Jolene (which was subsequently butchered by Mormon Brooke). Oh and that her online fan bases were called the Smithsonians and the Mindblowers. Yeah. I think I still miss Carly. And Michael Johns.
There is also a new edition of EW’s Idolatry in preparation for tonight’s big Neil Diamond night!! Michael Slezak and Dawnie Walton wonder, like the rest of the people who watch this crap, when these people are going to be able to sing something current. Or recorded since people stopped using Dial Up. They think Supermercado or Stoner J should do Red Red Wine. And David Cook should do Girl You’ll Be a Woman Soon, which I totally called in my last Neil Diamond posting.
Tonight could be horrible karaoke. And since Mormon Brooke is still hanging around, here’s hoping her inevitable meltdown is nothing short of curling-up-into-fetal-position AMAZING.
Spoilers to come as I find them…
(I never even thought about this being the point in the competition when the contestants sing TWO songs, but the time has arrived upon us now.)
Jason Castro will be singing Forever in Blue Jeans and September Morn
Chosen Eunuch is reportedly making Sweet Caroline one of his choices, which is just wrong b/c this song called for a horrific group number. No one should sing Sweet Caroline. Never. America might be his second choice, even though he’s unfortunately not in danger of getting booted (Patriotic Song = Another Week).
David Cook is doing I’m Alive and All I Ever Really Need is You.
Mormon Brooke is going to make us all vomit with I’m A Believer and I Am…I Said (accompanying herself on piano) which also means we may hear her start a song a total or 4 times this evening.
Syesha is doing Hello Again and Thank The Lord For Nighttime. She also might be singing last with Stoner J going first. Hmmm, AI, want to get him out next just in case he poses a threat to your All-David finale?
(BTW, this show still REALLY sucks.)
