idol5 final, part 1
Oh boy oh boy. My first idol final. But listen, since they both have record contracts, what exactly is the point of picking a winner? What will he or she get that the so-called loser won't? More promotion, I suppose, plus the hip-hip-hooray factor, but I'm not sure it matters. It's a choice between a slightly paunchy slightly goofy lounge singer (did you SEE the purple jacket and silk chantung tonight?!) and a slightly goofy gorgeous-hair-beauty-pageant contestant who sings fantastically in low registers but keeps singing trills in high registers instead. And what was with Simon's mismatched grays (t-shirt and jacket)? And why do Randy and Paula keep talking about the "bad song choice"? As if the kids choose their own songs for goodness sake! The contestants should start saying "tell that to the producers!!!" instead of nodding pleasantly. Yeah, and I'll be tall thin and blonde in the morning. Anyway I hope Katharine wins because (a) I find Taylor silly, throat-singy, boring and monotonous and (b) I like Katharine's voice, although I wish her facial expressions were less superficial, and I like how she moves around a lyric. Wednesday night's show promises to be a good old fashioned variety show what with all the people coming (to perform?). Could be loads of fun. And the winner, tie though it really is, is . . . .
My prediction:
Taylor
Dial Idol's results:
