And making tonight more palatable than other audition rounds was special judge Doogie for adding humor into the show...from his joke on RuPaul's (Julie Kevelighan) sign to speaking to how Erica Rhodes grew up to be a "dirty little girl" after starring on Barney. NPH would be a great replacement for Randy should they ever decide to get rid of that useless larda--.
Lloyd Thomas who has been sitting on the dock of the bay for years channeled the great Stevie Wonder and impressed all of the judges to set up himself to be this year's Ruben Studdard. And like Ruben, apparently Jesus had everything to do with his continuing onto Hollywood. Way to go Jesus! I guess Jesus must hate all of those folks who failed to make it further.
Kimberley Carver sang an original and while solid, I found her voice grating...and apparently Simon is most likely correct as her name does not appear on the preliminary list of top 24.
Just as the gay movement seemed to take a step forward with Obama seeking to repeal the ridiculous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the military, Dexter Ward took the movement a step backward with his ridiculous performance (well that and Seacrest not owning up to who he really is).
As for the sexiest performance o f the evening, there is nothing sexier than a dominatrix singing America's favorite purple dinosaur Barney's theme song...Erica Rhodes would definitely make watching Barney more palatable if all of Barney's friends were dressed up like her!
Whore. Slut. B-tch. Sorry, Tourette's got the best of me. In all seriousness, glad to see someone like Dave Pittman overcome his disability to make it to Hollywood. It is actually nice to see Idol to follow in the footsteps of Idol by recognizing those with disabilities.
Okay, enough serious sh-t.
On day two, we unfortunately went from great talent Neil Patrick Harris to Mickey Mouse alum Nick or Joe or one of the Jonas brothers who like the majority of special judges provided nothing of value.
Todrick Hall provided perhaps the best performance this season with an original song that had just what it takes to make it on the radio. This is one guy who I am disappointed not to see on the top 24 list and for the first time I hope that the list is bogus...it wouldn't be the first time.
And I am not sure I shared the excitement for Maegan Wright whose spastic brother ruined it for me. Little bro needs his Ritalin.
Overall, Dallas may have provided some of the best talent this season...but of course we won't know until Hollywood as Idol gets to choose who we see and who we don't see. Thankfully only one more week of this crap.
