I'm really surprised by the number of certifiable wackos that have been let through on "American Idol" this season. Not just in the audition process, but all the way to the performing for America and being judged stage of the show. One, maybe two at the most get through every year, but usually they're just kind of...odd, and not completely insane. Like Tatiana.
I don't want to give this chick any more publicity that she's already gotten, but I just couldn't resist posting this clip if only for the reaction to her histrionics at the end of it. Look for Nathaniel, the guy in the headband. Watch his reaction at about the 24 second mark. And then rewind and watch it again and again and again. You won't be disappointed.

TMTH!
Oh, Danny Noriega, I'm gonna miss you.
(If you can't bear to sit through the whole thing, at least skip to the very end and watch his reaction to Ryan Seacrest's "not noticing" his hair color.)

They Who Have Something
Let's discuss some "American Idol," shall we? Last night was British Invasion night, and who better to teach those kids a thing or two about 60s pop than the "singer" of one of the most asinine groups of all time? No, not Lulu, she's cool. I'm speaking, or course, about Peter Noone...And that's about all I want to speak of where he's concerned.
Now for some of the singing. I thought the judges were totally high when they dissed Lakisha's "Diamonds Are Forever." She rocked it. And she didn't look "old," Simon, she looked mature, which is to say, she wasn't wearing something gaudy, tacky, or too short for her own good. Sheesh!
I also thought Jordin did a good job with "I Who Have Nothing," a song I love, (and a song title that always looks like it's grammatically incorrect). They said it was popularized by Shirley Bassey and then covered by Tom Jones, but I think the best version of the song was sung by Ben E. King, (followed closely by Sylvester's disco version). As for complaining that the song was depressing, I hardly think that should matter, as long as she sang it well. And I think she did.
Sanjaya....oh Sanjaya....
And what of the Zombies portion of the evening? Chris Sligh disappointed me with his utterly boring rendition of "She's Not There." Blake's "Time of the Season" was a'ight, if a little whiny, and I guess it was a good choice for the addition of some beat boxing since, if you listen to the original, there's kind of some of that in the mix, (although it sounded to me like he didn't even put those parts in).
Finally, Melinda had to end the evening with a song I have always, for some unknown reason, absolutely loathed, "As Long As He Needs Me" from the musical "Oliver!" I hate the song so much, I had to fast-forward through most of her performance. It sounds like she sang it OK, but I'd still have to knock a few points from her for song choice alone.

Ryan Seacrest Is All Hands
Mario Vasquez, who recently quit "American Idol," to much speculation and controversy, appeared on Letterman last night, and read his Top Ten Reasons Why He Left American Idol, thus becoming my favorite "American Idol" constestant, ever.
