American Idol Viewer's Guide - Sinatra!


Well Idol Pool fans, we've made it to the top 5. It's Sinatra week! Let's hope none of the contestants end up like this:


Since our dear Blue Eyes isn't here to mentor the remaining contestants, we at Idol Pool Headquarters have come up with the advice we think he'd give if he were with them before they take the stage. And since our beloved Seeohbhaan left, it’s a toss-up as to who will sing "Jeepers Creepers".


Casey
Casey: Hi. The ladies call me "ol’ blue eyes" too.
Sinatra: No they don't son. You got smog in the noggin, and there ain’t no chicks in skins boppin to your beat.
Casey: Huh?
Sinatra: Exactly - sing for me then blue eyes. Make it hip.

Song choice: ‘Blame it on My Youth’ or ‘Bop! Goes My Heart’.


Big Mike

Sinatra: So Big Mike, tell me something about yourself.
Big Mike: I don't like to be called Big Mike.
Sinatra: Oh yeah, I get it. I saw 'The Blind Side'. So, Big Mike, you wanna work out and play some football?

Song choice: ‘Love Me Tender’ or ‘I Love You Just the Way You Are’


Crystal
Sinatra: Well, Ms. BobbySoxers, I've heard all about you.
Crystal: Actually, my last name is Bowersox. But it's okay.
Sinatra: You really should change it - bobbysoxers wore the hip look - I think it might catch on again. Do you think you can pull this off?

Sinatra: Oh, and stop toying with your boy you saucy lass. ‘Don't marry me, I’m not ready, I have the ring so I’m ready, I’m not giving him the ring back yet, He'd better propose but I still have the ring, Why hasn't he done it, No pressure at all’. Seriously woman, I've seen less torture in war times!

Song choice: ‘Both Sides Now’ (Joni Mitchell version) or ‘Everyman Should Marry’ (to be proudly dedicated to her ready-to-run-the-opposite-direction-because-she-made-it-awkward-in-front-of-millions-of-viewers boyfriend)


Lee
Sinatra: So, you’re the rocker.
Lee: Yeah.
Sinatra: Think you’ll win?
Lee: Yeah.
Sinatra: What’s on your chin?
Lee: Hair.
Sinatra: You look like a fool. In my day your Dad would have popped you one and you'd have shaved it right quick.
Lee: Cool.

Song choice: ‘Bad, Bad, LEEroy Brown’ or ‘LEEavin’ on a Jet Plane’ or ‘Mrs. Robinson


Aaron
Aaron: Hello Mr. Sinatra. I was thinking of singing ‘Makin’ Whoopee’. Just like last week, I’ll be singing it for my Mom.
Sinatra: Well, gee, okay.
(He sings)
Sinatra: I'm sure you have a good voice son, but every time you sing all I hear in my head is cookie monster telling me 'One of these things is not like the other - one of these things does not belong’.


Song choice: ‘Come Fly With Me’ or ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’.


Enjoy Sinatra week!

Harry Connick Jr. = yummy. He needs to be on the show every week. He is Lee's cool Uncle Jessie.

I have a couple thoughts - 1) Harry Connick deep-sixed my boy Casey tonight by being honest when Seacrest asked him about the bad performance. It's one thing for the judges to criticize you. It's another for the mentor to do it on live TV.

2) The "That's Life" arrangement was horrible. Why was Randy Jackson giving it props?

3) Crystal's back tat is GINORMOUS.

To summarize Frank - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain....Casey's going down in flames and my time atop the standings is done.
