This week we get Slash of GnR fame to mentor Rock and Roll week. Of course it is too bad that slash now wears a hat to cover his balding pate.
Adam Lambert is singing Whole lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Whether Robert Plant would be pleased with the song he would definitely applaud the Guyliner. Ricky Minor and the band certainly rock out this week and when they stop they let Adam strut his stuff. Randy Jackson says this proves he is rock star, Kara Diogaurdi one ups it with Rock God status. Paula and Simon love it.
Allison Iraheta is about to rock out with Janis Joplin and I am questioning whether this is a good idea. Janis is most certainly not rolling over in her grave. Slash says Allison has the Rock and Roll Swagga. What will the judges say? Randy Jackson didn’t love it. Kara says Janis is the right singer, but the song wasn’t the best. Paula Abdul says she she could play Janis. Simon Cowell has criticisms and Allison gives him a big understated, ‘Fuck You!’
Our first duet of the evening gives Kris and Danny. Singing Renegade by Styx they start out really well. Almost immediately Kris Allen flubs followed by a Danny Gokey failure. This is rock and roll not rock and sing the chorus well. Randy Jackson says they harmonize well, which means they sucked well together. Danny is trying to work the bling.
Kris Allen is attempting Come Together by The Beatles. I give him props for asking Slash to play during the rehersal. He flubs several times right up. This isn’t worth commenting on so i will just go get a beer. Back with a beer and have to say he most certainly didn’t live up to Carly Smithson’s performance last year.
Danny Gokey is going to try Dream On and frankly there is no way he will be as good as Michael Johns was last year. WTF is this coming out of his mouth. Bring back Michael, or at the very least someone bust his jaw so he will quit shouting. Someone needs to remove his wedgie. No one liked it. Kara says Rock Roll is about being bold and grabbing the chance. Tell that to Gary Glitter…
With the Duet I have been waiting for since i heard about the change we have Allison and Adam bringing Foghat’s Slow Ride. For the record I will be seeing Foghat with Steppinwolf later this summer, in fact I will be doing it a week after seeing Billy Squier and
Blue Oyster Cult. I am a great big name dropper now aren’t I?
