Fail, Beeyotch!

By Stacy

That's right, Mufaletta, Moofalooto, whatever the hell your name is...you journeyed all the way to LV to force your faux-'hood tenor on the judges once again, and I watch the rest of the episodes with one single goal in mind: to see you fail miserably when the real competition starts. Son, if I had a catapult, and a wall to breach, you would be my ammo of choice. *splat*

Most in need of chaining to the bottom of the nearest reservoir: the lumpy *cough* psychic with the dipthong problem. "I can't help falling in love wit you..."? *shudder* No, thanks. Really.

And hurray for the fat girl with the torch singer voice! I hope she kicks arse when the actual singing gets started.

 

Comments

Are you talking about the brother? He should have traveled to Orlando, home of the boy bands, instead. HATE him and his wimpy, affected singing.

Loved the torch singer. Her voice is amazing. But how long before they tell her to lose weight? I notice they have a problem with overweight girls, but not with, oh, Reuben.

Yeah, the twin. Grr. Stupid tenor voice.

And yes, the double standard is AMAZING, isn't it. Of course, they mentioned Aretha Franklin, and that woman ain't never been skinny.

But the psychic was the bomb diggity.

"I meant the 10th chair not the top ten."

Even though she repeatedly said she would make it into the TOP ten. And then to get so totally owned by Kenny Loggins.

"I've never seen someone ruin two careers at once."

I loved it!

oh yeah, there's a total size double standard, big guys are ok, but they really frown on the (even a little bit) big girls. didn't they even rag on Frenchie (season 2), and she had the best voice the show has ever seen...?

you should keep running tabs on the people that you hope fail. let's see, there's the woman who sold her wedding ring, and the twin with the masculinity of the wimpiest backstreet boy so far, right?

Right. And fine idea...see top right sidebar.

The Failinator. I never cease to be amazed. In a good way of course. Just wishing I had thought of it first.

Seki:

Great site. Glad you had time to build it. :)

I agree--Jennifer Todd has great pipes and the talent to go all the way. The chunky part will make for good personal drama, and I think there are plenty of chunky voters out there.

The twin is getting set up for a crushing. No one likes a fake-ghetto-accent castrato.

Finally (and standard disclaimer: I am a homophile), is there a correlation between denial about one's sexual orientation and denial about one's ability to sing? Year after year, we see a parade of gaytastic young men who proceed to mangle every note they breathe. Is Clay Aiken really the only closet case with pitch?

I thought that the comment of self image to Jennifer had more to do (at first) with the way she presented herself when she walked in. Once she started to sing, she forgot her physical self and that was apparent. She had even made comments before going in about being overweight and her lack of confidence because of it. She is great and I hope she makes it to the finals!
