Althouse: "'I Have Nothing' always seems to work, and 'Against All Odds' just doesn't. Ever."

"'I Have Nothing' always seems to work, and 'Against All Odds' just doesn't. Ever."

It's Songs From Movies night tonight on "American Idol," and Throwing Things has all sorts of advice for Adam Lambert et al.

Can Adam sing Time Warp?; 4/14/09, 9:00 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Her name isn't an abbreviation of "little," but other than that. I agree. They've oversupported a boring singer. Boring and annoying.; 4/14/09, 1:05 PM
Trooper York said...: Anoop Dog is out. Unless he is smart and does a full blown Bollywood production number. Now that I would like to see.; 4/14/09, 1:31 PM
Trooper York said...: I think Adam should sing "I feel Pretty" from West Side Story. Or Evita.; 4/14/09, 1:32 PM
Trooper York said...: Allison should sing that song from the "Rose" which I forget. You know the one I mean.; 4/14/09, 1:33 PM
Beta Conservative said...: I think Adam should sing Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered from Pal Joey:

"I'll sing to him
each spring to him
and worship the trousers that cling to him"

He already has my vote though, no matter what he sings.; 4/14/09, 1:41 PM
PJ said...: Professor and MM: I agree that Lil has consistently underperformed, but I thought the judges duly and pointedly (and jointly and severally) blasted her last week. Did that not count because they started off by saying "I know you can sing, but . . ."?

Adam doing Time Warp (or I'm Going Home) is a great idea.; 4/14/09, 4:34 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Trooper, I'd say that's only out of desperation to preserve their credibility.; 4/14/09, 4:42 PM
