Top 9 results: Caw Caw edition
April 1st, 2009
This over-produced nonsense is getting worse and worse. Seriously, Ken Warwick, this has to stop. Nigel wouldn’t go for this. The opening video is just too much for a reality show.
Simon predicts Anoop, Matt, Megan will be in trouble. I concur, but I fear Allison is in the bottom, too.
The Ford Commercial was earlier in the episode than usual and was “Mixed Up.” *Yawn* unimpressive.
The group song is Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ - I think they are getting better at lip-syncing, because I have to say, this was the least painful group song yet. Except Scott, who looked terrified the whole time. Way to go, producers! The group number has gone from sucking, to royally sucking, to this week? Slightly better than sucking. Maybe by the finale it will be adequate!
The filler video du jour is “A day in the life of the Idols.” The best part was getting to see Kris’s sexy face, and Matt’s impression of Gokey.
Ryan eggs on more live impressions out of the idols…which get a little out of control. I was disappointed, however, that no one did the Megan!! I do a pretty good impression of the Megan dance, myself. It’s helpful for loosening up the shoulders.
On to the killings: The kids are divided into 3 groups of 3.
Kris, Matt, and Megan in group 1.
Allison, Adam, and Lil in group 2.
Scott, Anoop, and Danny in group 3.
I’m pretty sure they will pull one from each group (Megan, Allison, Anoop).
David Cook is up next, singing his new single Come Back To Me. I am reminded how last season spoiled us. David, come back!
Back to the results, Kris is up first, and he is safe. Matt is up next, is faked out by Ryan, but is safe. Megan is the last from group 1. And she cawed her way to a stool.
In group 2, Lil is up first, and is safe. Allison is up next and is headed to the stool as well. She appears to flutter in homage to Megan. And finally, Adam is obviously safe.
Group 3 has Danny up first, who too, is obviously safe. This leaves Scott and Anoop. Anoop gets a stool, while Scott heads to the couches.
Lady GaGa (She wanted her name to be able to be pronounced by the infant population?) performs with smoke, a pink transluscent piano, and seizing dancers. Yikes! Even Megan, aka CawCaw, was pointing in amazement.
Sending one back to safety: Allison. There is justice! And the one with the lowest amount of votes is Megan. Anoop is safe. Thank the Idol Gods!
Simon is over the whole “act” of the judges contemplating their save, and they give Megan a big fat no.
Megan sings her swan song just as awful as last night, and bawls throughout her exit montage. And with that, Caw Caw to you, too.
Next week is “Songs in the year you were born.” In other words, 80s week, with one 90s song from a certain pink-haired girl.
Caw Caw.

Yup, we didn’t know how good we had it with Nigel. I long for the good old days.

I’m also glad Simon dropped the act of deciding whether to use the save. Last week you could hear Kara saying “He did do a good job,” or something to that effect after Michael’s reprise. Give me a break. Did anyone honestly think they were going to save Michael? They need to stop treating us like we’re stupid.

I think last week they were actually close to saving MIchael and Simon called it.
What did he say to Megan? “with the gretest respect?” or “with the great disrespect..”? Because it sounded like “greatesTEST”, lol.
Anyhow, WHY DO THEY LIP SYNC THE GROUP SONGS?? ARGH!
And yeah, this was finally just. Just send Scott home now, please.

I thought this group song was good, for once. And I’ve watched it several times and I don’t think it was lip synched. I’m not sure, but it was it was pretty accurate. I did enjoy the banter between the contestants – it’s great to see that they’re having fun.

Gretchen, it was lip synced – just compare how they sound when they sing live to this overproduced crap. Look for Alison’s mouth, you can clearly see and hear it’s not live. And especially look for Scott’s part where the mic isn’t even pointing at his mouth.
Every group song so far sounded perfectly, and every and each one of them was, of course, lipped, because no sound technician can sync 9 different mics so perfectly and nobody can bring so many voices in such perfect unison like it sounds when during group song you have Megan, Alison and let’s say Lil sing one verse together – they just couldn’t sound like that live.
And besides, the producers confirmed somewhere they lipsync the group songs.

No doubt the group songs have all been lip-synced this year. It’s pretty silly, as far as I am concerned, and I don’t really understand why they waste time on it. It also looks like Ford cut their ad budget to the bone and told them to figure out some way to get commercials without spending a fortune in travel and setup. So much of what they are doing with the commercials now is just a bunch of studio editing. Not much meat there.
Finally, I have had it with the AI pimping of Gokey and Lil. I mean really……if they keep it up they might as well put them both in a big white Caddi and drop them off at the stage for a little “sing sing” before their next trick. Sheesh.

Can we send Kara home next week, too?
Anyone notice how Megan’s brother, CJ, called her out on Tuesday? “BROKEN RECORD!”

I searched “Megan Joy caw” and found your blog. What’s the back story on the crow / cawing act? Sorry I’m not up on this one…thanks!

Btw Laura, you wrote “next year” :D:D:D:D

Beckaboo, The cawing started when Megan ended her performance of Rockin’ Robin during Michael Jackson week. The camera was in a wide shot, but she said “caw caw” at the end. Ever since then, various blogs and sites have caught on. She must be reading these blogs and websites because I think she ‘caw’ed to poke fun at herself. I’m pretty sure she knew she was on the way home.
Miljan…lol on next year…this has been a long season! It is now corrected.
