This week's "American Idol" in 60 Seconds video recap, embedded below, deals with all the missed opportunities and crushing disappointments our nation faced while watching season 10's "Birth Year Songs" episode.
Casey Abrams' underwhelming "Smells Like a Bad Imitation" Nirvana cover hardly seemed worth the pomp and circumstance it received. The Nirvana on "Idol" seal has been broken, yes, but it was done in an unfortunately inept way. The only thing that would have been more misguided was Scotty McCreery warbling "Rape Me" with his signature smirk.
Instead, Scotty sang his first love song to any teenage girl who has a deep-voice fetish, while Haley Reinhart channeled Miss Yvonne's makeup meltdown with a deranged Whitney Houston cover that ended with Seacrest rubbing his saliva all over her face. (Haley's diabolical plan to steal Seacrest DNA worked.) Jacob Lusk rubbed his "stank" all over Heart's "Alone," meaning he sang in a register that drove cats in the greater Los Angeles area wild.
James Durbin's tail grew back but it was his cajones that were truly enlarged this week, when he somehow convinced Steven Tyler to rock with him at the finale. No wonder Tyler cursed live on the air. He'd been hoodwinked!
Paul McDonald continued his headlining "Shake and Baked" tour with a sickly "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" that was so confounding, even he shrugged afterwards. Naima also retreated with a generic and pitchy "What's Love Got to Do With It?" And Thia Megia sang that "Pocahontas" song. Obviously.
Pia Toscano and Stefano Langone proved that Italians do it better. "It" referring to singing power-ballads really loudly and dramatically.
The results show included duets with Lee DeWyze and his facial hair, Pia Toscano and her s---zu, as well as will.i.am and his cockapoo, Fergie. Then America said, "No me gusta" to Karen Rodriguez.
