Sydney Spy Classic
Six Of One.. Plus 5... huh?
The second batch of girls is hot out of the oven, but who will be too hot to handle? Who will stick to the pan? Who will only have half of their dough cooked while the rest is charred?
Sara Lloyd - “I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” (Jennifer Hudson)
Sara gives a breath-taking rendition of this Dreamgirls song… she wasn’t taking our breath… she was taking her own as she gasped for oxygen at the end. Mark Holden’s prosthetic jaw crumbles as he blabbers some gibberish about poor song choice while Marcia says “You cut that” before insinuating that Mark is made of plastic and should have appeared alongside Paris Hilton in 2004’s “House of Wax”… ALL insinuated with one head flip. She sang well, but isn’t very striking and has a Jacobbutleresque loser story line.
Morgan Hosking – “You Learn” (Alanis Morrisette)
She looks like she could bring something to the table, but all that she brungeth was cold potato salad. She copied Alanis’ donkey calls too much in the song. I felt like I was back in high-school.. not my own high school 2 ½ years ago… but my brother’s high school from the mid-nineties. Very mediocre Morgan.
HIGHLIGHT: Her and Andrew doing their happy-happy-joy-joy jig.
Holly Weiner – “I’m Easy” (Stone Temple Pilots)
Dedicated to STD-transporter and best-friend, Jesse Corran, “I’m Easy” was sung very well. Holly was a luminous presence who has a quiet confidence. Her sloppy diction didn’t smear the song too far off the page and onto the bare table of Morgan Hosking and her pitiful potato salad. Plus she’s a handsome woman. The judges loved her.
Madison Pritchett – “When You’re Gone” (Avril Lavigne)
Screechy, unpleasant and hollow. She looks like she tail-chastised that horse in her video package and wore it on her head for good luck. Dicko said that he couldn’t figure out how to market her since she’s a little girl who acts like a little woman. And I don’t think he was referring to one of those Maury Pauvich little people.
Marcia quote of the week: “You belong to the Australian public now”… let’s do an autopsy on her :D
Brianna Carpenter – “Fidelity” (Regina Spektor)
Her gamine mode de “Le fableux destin d’Amelie Poulain” was superb and tout ce qu’il faut comprendre dans cette phrase, c’est TDK eyes. She flirted with the stage using sulky stares, backwards shuffling and the giant red buttons on her smock. It was overall a refreshing piercing stab amid the prior bludgeonings. Mark put on a stripy Dr. Seuss hat and said it was “kooky, quirky, perky”. Her comment to Kyle was the real vital-organ maiming.
Kyle: I don’t admit to understanding what you do
TDK Carpenter: Well, I didn’t expect you do…
Marcia: Oh no you DI-ENT (Marcia pulls out boombox blasting: I never knew there was a .. love like this before" ) Marcia ba dunk-a-dunks.
Well done Brianna Carpenter…
Rosie Ribbons – “Everybody Hurts” (REM)
I expected more from Rosie Ribbons. She was as stale as that despondent potato salad at a Morgan Hosking picnic. I scrawled “boring vibe” on my notes but reading it back it looks like “bony vibe”. She had potential, but she can’t choose such a droning song which doesn’t work for idol. Then I got a phone call, so the rest of the time she sounded like a person talking into my right ear out of sync with her own lip movements.
To go through: Well I’m 5/6 so far… but this I time I’ll say Holly Weiner and Brianna Carpenter. MAYBE Sara Lloyd.
Brianna: freak or genius? Add a comment...
