American Idol: Pialess with Eight

American Idol movie night is in the hizzouse! This week always cracks me up because they pick songs that just happen to have been in movies, but it's not like all of these songs are thought of as movie songs. So just for fun I will note the songs that actually are movie songs as they perform them. Guessing that it's probably 3 of the 8.

Paul: Old Time Rock & Roll (MOVIE SONG) - Stairs. His voice sounds way too thin for this song. No one wearing that outfit likes old time rock and roll. He's first to perform and he will likely go home.

Lauren: The Climb (MOVIE SONG) - Loved the video piece with Laurel and Hardy. I have to say that I felt like the arrangement didn't allow her to show that she's a better singer than Miley. But she is.

Stefano: End of the Road - It's hard to hear this song as a solo when it was so effective as a vocal group number - but the key change was boss.

Scotty: I Cross My Heart - (MOVIE SONG) He is such a pro. I am getting tired of having to move my head slightly to the right during the whole performance to see him (george) straight…

Casey: Nature Boy - Unbelievable. Seriously, did anyone foresee that such a musical performance would appear on the AI stage? Again, thank goodness the judges save worked.

Haley: Call Me - The Partridge Family Bus is suing her dress. I still like Haley but this was not a smart song pick. This song does not align well with what she does successfully. The dress on the other hand…

Jacob: Bridge Over Troubled Water - I might download this one. Wowwwwwwwwww. I think I'm ready to be rebaptized.

James: Heavy Metal - (MOVIE SONG) I loooooveed the video piece with Jimmy and Will.i.am. Remember when everyone thought Constantine was a rocker? James makes him seem like the Fantasia of Heavy Metal. That was like a circus act on the flying trapeze.

Can I have a new TV show starring Will.i.am. and Jimmy Iovine please? I need that right away.

Who's in the bottom three with Paul?

I agree on everything except Casey. He seems to think every phrase ends in "yah." Between that and the growls, I'm ready for him to leave. So very glad Jacob changed his choice from his original picks. Those 2 songs would have been a disaster!

another spot-on summation, EB & thank you for the actual Movie Song clarifications too, LOL. I think Haley is going home, unless people voted like crazy after what the judges said. Sure wasn't her best performance. However, the fact that Jason needed that much input as an artist, and that they showed two other artists (Casey & James) who stood up for themselves (and they won) ... hmmm. That does not bode well for Jason, I think. Yes, the choice he made was wise - much better than the Velveeta he was planning on - but he came across defeated in the video piece before he sang. Know what I'm sayin?

Jason ... Jacob ... Jacob ... Jason .... It's a bad sign that I can't even get his name right. :/
