Idol Recap, "Little Dawg"
With the lights down low, the drum beats throbbing in the background, Ryan Seacrest is rockin' a black suit, tie and one of my Dad's 80's tie bars. Nice.
The judges make their way out on stage. Simon is obviously charged with keeping Paula from face planting herself.
Ryan then descended the stairs like Frankie Avalon in Beauty School Dropout.
It's a theme night, kids! Not just country, but Grand Ole Opry country - that's like country on steroids! Heeee Hawwww!
Michael - hits up some Garth Brooks and nearly runs outa breath. He finished with a smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
Allison - Blame It On Your Heart. He opened her mouth to sing and I could have cared less is she were wearing every item from the Paula Abdul QVC Collection and a read dead cat on her head. The girl is fabulous.
Kris - To Make You Feel My Love. He's a doll but did he have fishing tackle around his neck? I dug his verson but I doubt Garth was at home wailing "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy"!
Lil or "Little" (lol) - Independence Day. This girl BLEW my doors off. Goosebump city!
Adam - Ring of Fire. The performance was certainly out there and a bit freaky but....I liked it! Adam is who he is!
Scott - Wild Angels. Thankfully his hair is no longer channeling Art Garfunkel. He is still Muzak with words to me. Clearly outpaced vocally.
Alexis - Jolene. Wonderful voice and glad she scaled things back a bit instead of trying to peel paint off the rafters.
Danny - Jesus Take the Wheel. LOVED IT. Love him. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Even though he was wearing a skydiving outfit from the Flying Elvises. Adore him!
Anoop - You Were Always On My Mind. He killed it! This is why I dig Anoop. Every hideous memory of Beat It was erased as he simply stood there and sang the song. Heartfelt and strong.
Megan - Walking After Midnight. Quirky and odd notes sneaking in to goose you when you thought you knew how the song was suppose to go. I just couldn't take when she kept going falsetto. Reminded me of Baby's sister in Dirty Dancing singing Hula Hana.
Matt - So Small. Sexy 7 o'clock shadow. No question the guy is talented but could he win??
Bottom 3: Megan, Scott, Michael.
Thoughts???
Hula Hana!!!!!!! That is the best part of the whole movie - not only did they find a drag queen to play Baby's sister, but they made sure she had a voice that would rival the talents of future geniuses such as William Hung...

I KNOW! That ghastly scallop shell bikini top, the Cleopatra style black wig and the screechy voice are clear as day embedded in my memory!!
I actually just googled the words to the song. God bless the internet.
Who’s this Hula hana, of kamana whala hula bay, she will hula when you have a lovely gift she wants, you’ll hear her say, bring me a pineapple that doesn't sting a bird that swims a fish that sings, I wanna I really wanna, bring me a volcano that blows up all the molten jama and a blue banana,
I canna canna bring me a pineapple that doesn't sting a bird that swims a fish that sings, I wanna I really wanna,
bring me a volcano that blows up all the molten jama and a blue banana, I canna canna and you can wackle all you wanna, while I hula all the day away, and you can wackle all you wanna, while I hula all the day away,
All the boys of okakokanoka island, gather all the gifts that hula hana asks, they have combed their island home, fulfilling each one, and its worth it when they watch her shake her grass, three, four, five
Bring me a gentle breeze that I can keep, an ocean that’s oh so deep, I wanna I really wanna,
she will hula when you have a lovely gift she wants, you’ll hear her say, bring me a pineapple that doesn't sting a bird that swims a fish that sings, I wanna I really wanna,
bring me a volcano that blows up all the molten jama and a blue banana, I canna canna
and you can wackle all you wanna, you can wackle while I walk away,
and you can wackle all you wanna, you can wackle while I walk away, away, away, away!

Sounds like the wackle-wacko writer had a high does of wackle-weed before penning this piece of literary genius. I'm guessing they got the cast of dirty dancers together and played mad-libs until this sacred aria emerged. Eesh.
