'American Idol' Recap: Only David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado Fab Enough On Second Beatles Night
Michael Johns flubs lyrics this time, while Brooke White brings more crazy.
Like a bitter ex-wife, "Idol" producers decided to wring every last dime out of the Lennon/McCartney treasure trove and presented viewers with yet another Beatles-themed episode Tuesday night. And although the parameters were expanded this week to include all four Beatles' contributions, nobody elected to sing "Octopus' Garden."
So why the double-dipping? Seacrest claimed it was due to overwhelming demand. Too bad the top 11's haphazard offerings and ill-informed song choices left me feeling like a Blue Meanie.
Amanda Overmyer
What She Sang: "Back in the U.S.S.R."
What She Should Have Sung: "With a Little Help From My Friends" (Joe Cocker arrangement)
Verdict: Red scare
I'm officially over Overmyer. Amanda took Paul McCartney's tribute to the Beach Boys and performed it like she was the Vince Neil in an all-girl Mötley Crüe cover band. The aggressive seizure-inducing strobe lights didn't add anything to her performance either, other than fresh bite marks to wooden spoons across the States. After the judges responded with a shrug, the nurse got all WWE Diva on Simon and barked that she treats each weekly performance like a chance to sell concert tickets. Poor thing doesn't realize that nobody's purchased a ticket to a sleaze-rock hair-metal show in almost 15 years. Right, Bo?
