The Top 9 performance night of American Idol last week had Lennon-McCartney for a theme. Everyone did a Beatles song and somehow managed to add something to their usual repertoire. What I mean is the bag-piper coming down the staircase during Lee DeWyze’s “Hey Jude”. If Siobhan Magnus is most remembered for her screaming and Adam Lambert-like drama, Lee was able to leave a mark to remember him by. Most people will remember him now for bringing in a bagpiper to the show. Good tactic no matter how ridiculous it was. But who cares?
And of course we know that Big Mike survived the ax that night. The judges ruled to his favor and he was given another week more.
After American Idol came Glee. The last two episodes leading to the sectionals were simply about scandals and revelations. While the plot was pretty predictable (I always knew it’s going to be Emma and Will in the end, and Sue will need eye cream for wrinkles as she would never cease on plotting Shuester’s downfall), the show choir performances were great. Better than High School Musical in a lot of ways.
I just love Wednesdays.
