American Idol Without The Singing

Because I can't actually watch this week's show, am trawling Google News for as close an approximation as I can of how the show went. Apparently Constantine tried 'How You Remind Me' by Nickelback, and came off sixth best (five of course being better than him). Hmm, risky move, Nickelback isn't the type of original band that I would expect would garner a huge amount of votes from the Idol audience.

First good review comes from this site - I like the comment about Constantine's choreography coming directly from the 80s hair bands ('Poison called. They want their choreographer back.'), and especially recognising that Constantine wasn't a real rocker. Bo, now he is southern but you can kinda with a bit of imagination see him fronting Metallica or Deep Purple or something. Constantine always came across to me as more a David Bowie kinda character, morphing to suit the times and audience.

Sorry, was just caught for about fifteen minutes or so in blogcritics.org, commenting on what I think of the final six/five on Idol. LOL will see if my two cents is worth a hell of beans in this crazy mixed up world :) If anyone is interested in what I actually think, I'm comment 52 from that link - rather than cut and paste it all here.

Eh am too distracted at the moment, will write more later
