Archive for April, 2007
It was country week on American Idol and Liza Persky wraps it up for y’all.
- Don’t wear disco clothes
- Don’t wear an argyle sweater
- Don’t wear gold boots
- Don’t wear Barbie doll dresses
- Don’t go into the audience without a plan
- Don’t talk back to the judges
American Idol viewers finally came to their senses and Sanjaya went bye-a. But we haven’t seen the last of him, says a shocked, disappointed and relieved Liza Persky. Stick around until the end of the clip and see what the future holds for Mr. Malakar.
It was Latin week on American Idol and Liza Persky is muy caliente!
The delectable Jennifer Lopez tried to help the Idol contestants get their Latin rhythm on. She did a good job but the contestants struggled. Fortunately, the Idol Critic never struggles. She reviews this week’s show and wonders:
- Can Melinda Doolittle do sexy?
- Why was Micky Dolenz in the audience?
- What exactly are goose pimples?
- Why doesn’t LaKisha listen?
- Where do Haley’s legs take her from here?
Contestants come and go, but in the refrigerator of life the Idol Critic is a magnet of joy.
The American Idol contestants tackle the classics and Liza Persky swings.
The venerable Tony Bennett stops by and gives the Idol crew some pointers. Most of them don’t listen, but no matter.
The Idol Critic’s questions are what matter:
- Why do Blake’s teeth disappear when he sings?
- Who doesn’t believe in Mindy Doo?
- Is LaKisha displaying a bit of a ‘tude?
- What in God’s name was going on between Ryan and Sanjaya’s father?
The competition is heating up, but the Idol Critic is as cool as the other side of the pillow.
