Boys came to Conquer

Last night's Idol show featured the top 12 boys doing 60's Night. Here we go again with the themes. Theme nights would not be so bad if the singers would mix it up and do something creative with the material. The theme thing works in that it weeds the non-creative, non-original singers out. It's just hard to sit through the ones who are just mimicking the oldies.

That being said, I thought overall, last night's show was pretty durn good for the first night. There were really no stinky performances and a few exceptional ones! How the he11 am I going to make fun of these guys if they are all good??? I'll find a way...

First of all, although time consuming, it was pretty cool to get a glimpse of the performers before they went out to sing. Some of the guys that I didn't know from Adam were shown, and they all got a fair shake of airtime. I hate sitting there saying to myself, "who the f*** is this guy?" At least now I know who the dude who is getting belittled and insulted and what his background is.

Without further ado, your top 12...

1. David Speedy Hernandez: Wasn't too bad, but the song was boring and slow. It was forgettable, as Simon Scowl likes to say a lot.

2. McCheesy Easymac: All I can remember is that tomato soup colored suit and how blahhh this was. I really hated this song and the performance... Then he argued with Charcoal shirt man for an uncomfortably long time. You are on the chop block, Cheezy!!!

3. Dave TwoTone Cook: The redhead rocker provided some spark finally. Unfortunately, he ended his song on a whimpy note. He's safe.

4. Skunkboy Jason Yeager was next--thanks a lot for the sapfest PePe. Good gawd, that had more syrup than a Waffle House.
5. Rockin Robbie Carrico: The one true rocker out of the guys did a fine job on Three Dog Night's "One." This stood out for me, but then again, I am biased. He is Bo Bice with a beard and stocking cap.

6. Davey Boy Archuleta: Is this kid for real--he is a bundle of youth and infectious enthusiasm. He is both giddy and silly, but boy, the kid can sing! Great job ya little whippersnapper! He even made a Cap N Tenille song sound decent!!!

7. Danjaya Noriega: This guy takes the cake as far as attitude goes and his sass is just FABULOUSSSSS!!!! I think he is much more talented than Sandorka, but the song may have been the wrong one. I think he will stick around, at least for entertainment purposes.

8. McStubble Luke "save big money at" Menard: That song and performance was about as flat as warm Milwaukees Best. This was the lamest and most forgettable song of the night. Too bad for him because he is a good singer. FOOL!!!

9. Coldsore Berry: The little engine who couldn't. This was the blond kid who went head to head with Harry Potter at the end of Hollyweird week. Another tame performance, but it wasn't horrible.

10. Leif Garret Jackie Earl Haley Scarnato: Another hobbit doing karaoke. He looks like Barry Manilow and Robert Plant's long lost little brother. The song was slow and tender like roast turkey, but forgot the gravy!

11. Dreadlock Fidel Castro: Could be this year's Blake,but instead of beat boxing, he has the guitar and the voice vibrato to add to his game. Pretty good performance and kept it interesting.

12. Outback Mike Johns: Best for last? Perhaps, and it was good, but probably not his best performance--I think he has potential to do much better. I'm willing to bet he has bronchitis or pneumonia. He still did better than most regardless of his health.

Overall, pretty good first night for the dudes. Nothing was really bad, and there were a lot of good ones. Even the slow, sappy, forgettable songs were sung well.

Ratings for 60's Night:

Davey Boy Archuleta
Dreadlock Castro
Rocker Carrico
Outback Mike
TwoTone Cook
Speedy Hernandez
Skunkboy Yeager
Danjaya Noriega
Leif Garret
Colt45 Berry
McStubble Menard
Mayor McChezee

Voted off the island: I think McCheese will get another shot. So that leaves McStubble and either Speedy, Skunky or Colt45 as the other one.

Girls wrap coming up later!
