CI5 Episode 16: Top 9 Perform Songs from the '60s: "Who Cares...Montana's A Worster!"
It's time to flashback to when music wasn't one big generic cesspool, lip-synched by manufactured acts produced by phony crapfests like Canadian Idol, as our Top 9 does music from the Sixties. But unless The Beatles reform tonight, nothing's going to top the power generated by the joining of VFTW and the coolest Idol EVER...Montana Martin Iles!
Our host Ben's trying to get into the 60s spirit as he has massive bags under his beety eyes and looks as high as Bo Bice. And speaking of being high, Tyler Mullendore's in the house! Ben tells us that we're going back to a time when social upheavel had a great influence upon musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin...and Peter Noone! Ben tells Sass she was harsh last week, but not as harsh as her black eye liner tonight. Ben attempts (and fails) some humour about Zack being old, but Zack's glad that he comes from 1960 BC; Before Celine! (...and Martha Joy!).
Elvis Jaydee Bixby
CTV Producer John Brunton has fully submitted like some fat, hairless dog to the power of VFTW as he's not going to make us wait for our posterchild, Elvis Jaydee. Our boy has reached deep into Ben's alternative lifestyle closet as he's wearing a purple shirt with such a dainty flower. Elvis Jaydee's showing the chest tonight, and the white glare sends me into seizure. He's doing Runaway by Del Shannon and Ben caters to VFTW by YELLING that Elvis covered this song (VFTW Victory!). And instead of wondering why his love has runaway, Elvis Jaydee may want to worry about why his voice has runaway. And Elvis Jaydee's continuing to spend way too much time lurking at VFTW as he has become so conscious about his crazy legs, he's decided to lock himself in one spot tonight. But Farley and Sass are closet Worsters as they encourage Elvis Jaydee to walk around more and be a bigger spaz and show why VFTW's thrown our massive resources behind him. But Zack says I can be a bigger Worster than you as he says ...if you had black hair, you'd just be doing Elvis.
Tara Oram
Just in case you didn't get enough of some Aryan looking hick doing a crappy Elvis imitation, Tara's next. And she gives VFTW that special feeling down there as she does the same song Chris Daughtry did the week he got eliminated, Jaydee's Elvis' Suspicious Minds. And Tara harkens back to another hick, Tyler Lewis, as she's riding the horse all over the stage. She gives us a point that makes me want to grab into my TV and snap her finger. She's sort of ok on the fast first and final parts but is Newfylicious when she hits the slower middle part. Farley says she took herself vocally to different places tonight, like the Universe Of Sanjaya. Sass really likes Tara's stylistic choices, which is Paula for where you placed the missed notes. And Zack likes how it's finally no-nonsense Tara, save for the fake Newfyness, bleached blond hair, contrived Newfy references and pathetic pandering to regional voters. And just in case Newfoundland isn't enough, Tara panders for VFTW to put her over the top by yelling Oramutangs!
Matt Rapley
It's time to repent as Matt's going to bore us to death for our sins. He's setting himself up to be crucified as he does a song done by my favourite Idol ever, Bo Bice (1977-2006, RIP), The Allman Brother's Whipping Post, also done by Bo Bice 2.0, Tami Gosnel. And Matt's gained so much weight that he can't even move an inch away from the spot he's glued himself to. Matt's growls how some women done me wrong, but once again, the God Of Charisma has done him wrong. While the singing's ok, the acid the judges dropped before the show must be kicking in as they all have one collective orgasm for him. Either that, or they are trying reverse psycholgy to get this blob eliminated and are on Dave's payroll (again).
Dwight d'Eon
The holder of the record for longest time on an Idol show without singing is next in PWRH. He tries to move far away from screaming by doing the quiet Undone by The Guess Who and Guess What, he still isn't singing. After five weeks of screaming, Dwight has become hoarser than Rod Stewart with throat cancer. And the weight gain's gotten out of control as he's glued to a stool for the entire performance, despite that not exactly being the plan. And worst of all, his goatee looks like a vagina. Zack's got a death wish for Dwight (and VFTW) as he wants him to push his voice further. And Jake must have his own death wish as he utters the magic word that makes Worsters violent...Pitchy.
Carly Rae Jepson
The cutest ever three-year-old on Idol is next in Carly Rae. In her blue dress and tiny sweater, Little Carly looks like she's going to visit Grandma in the forest to bring her an apple pie. So sweet! Unfortunately, the effect is lost on VFTW as we've known for a long time that she's a big fake and whore who'll do anything the judges tell her to. Carly gets back to normal after last week's massacre of a song choice as she does Georgia On My Mind which allows for all the batty eyelashes, childish affectations and opened-mouth action that we're used to, while still allowing her to miss all the notes that everyone's become used to. And if there were any reason not to be completely annoyed by Carly by now, someone holds up a sign that says Carly Is Gnarly! Jake is still fooled as he says she showed her vulnerabilty, but nothing like the vulnerability she showed last week when she was in the bottom three! Zack's ready to add more drool but Ben cuts him off and gives him a Bitch Slap harder then when Ryan Seacrest slapped Quincy Jones upside the head.
Brian Melo
John Brunton couldn't give his love child the pimp spot again tonight so he's placed him before some unmemorable blob (see below). For tonight's peaceful Sixties theme, Brian's decided to wear a combat hat . My ears perk up as Ben tells us Brian's doing Axis: Bold As Love by Hendrix, and then immeditately kills the buzz by telling us that John Mayer also covered this song, making me think that Greg's going to flap onto the stage and steal the mic away from Brian. And at some point in the past 40 years, someone (John Mayer) completely destroyed this song as it's unrecognizable at points. Brian's singing ok but must be practicing with Dwight as he too is losing his voice. He seems to be getting angry, perhaps at VFTW for exposing that he's the love child of John Brunton, and the anger's building until...we get a poser mic stand throw that would make even Taylor Hicks laugh.
Khalila Glanville
This girl's been killing me all season as her benign performances and personality have given little for me to write about. I've challenged her to step it up, to no avail. Until you do, Khalila, no more blog entries (and free publicity) for you. If you want to get a blog entry in the future, you must do one of the following:
- Wear a ponyhawk
- Take a picture on a toilet
- Throw a phone at a pregnant person
- At the top of your lungs, yell "Hi Dave!".
Until you do Khalila, it's no VFTW love for you.
Greg Neufeld
It's-a-flappin'-and-a-hoppin' time as Greg's next. And he continues tonight's theme of Songs From The Sixties Which Were Later Covered By Crappier Artisits as he's doing Long Black Veil by Johnny Cash, which has been covered (and surely massacred) by Dave Matthews. And to get into the Johnny Cash vibe, Greg's all in black and looks like some ominous Bird Of Death. While we laugh at Greg, he deserves a break for admitting that someone else re-arranged this song, as opposed to the last loser who covered a Johnny Cash song and pretended the re-arrangement was his. Greg has become hyper-sensitive about VFTW's jokes about his wings and webs, so he's glued himself to the stool to start the song. But this bird must fly, as Greg takes flight. He's so focused on not hopping around like a spaz that he's forgotten to sing. It's very Sanjaya whispery and ends just in time, as Greg has completely lost his breath. Zack hopes it sounded better on TV, but let VFTW assure you Zack, it didn't. And any homophobia Greg may have will surely be exposed as Zack tells him he could be on Canada's Next Top Model.
Martha Joy
As John Brunton can't give the pimp spot to lovechild Brian again until next week, he's given it to another doomed Ontarian, Martha. Joybot's been programmed for The Sixties tonight and her programmers have tried to install a charisma chip. She's doing Love Child and bears a striking resemblance to its lead singer, Diana Ross. Joybot has been programmed to start out at the back of the stage, and then advance forward until it reaches a stool. It's then been programmed to sit down at the stool. It's also been programmed to miss every other note. And Joybot's inventors have added a new feature this week, an eye f*** option at the end of the song that unfortunately still has a few bugs. Jake knows that one thing that can't be programmed is groove. Zack thinks she's stiff even for a robot. And Farley's so grossed out that he tells Martha I can't tell you what I think. Let VFTW help, Farley...Martha SUCKS!

Nice graphical references there, STP! *applauds*
I found a photo of Jayvis's family band, the Bixbys:
Vagina goatee?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Priceless work, as brilliant as always!

Another great blog entry, STP. I'd quote my favorite bits, but I loved the entire recap!

Thanks Smartie. This Jaydee character is priceless. Despite the fact that Runaway has been covered by thousands of artists, Ben YELLS that Elvis has sung it!

Thanks insane, but without Mounts, Tyler and Liam, I'm struggling like a dog. They were all my material. Earlier blogs had so much more to write about, and to think what could've been: The tranny hairdresser hadn't even gotten to Liam yet, Tyler REALLY opening 'er up and Montana, starting with Baby Hit Me One More Time, and taking it from there.
Hey Montana, we know you were going to do Britney. I also heard a rumour that you were going to do My Way tonight. What other songs would you have liked to have done on Canadian Idol? No Celine, I hope!

Hey, awesome photo, Montana, and thanks! Glad you're here!

Ah yes, the Sixties! The era that gave us some of the greatest musicians of the 20th (and the 21st) century. And it always make me cringe whenever I have to hear any Idol show announcing that as one of their theme weeks -- listening to the brutal murders of the classics of rock is so bad, that I had to watch it on tape.
And sadly, it was murder in the first degree for each of these "Idol" tweentards. Once again, it's time to summarize the charges. The defendants are charged, the defense's only argument is a loud pitchy scream, the Crown prosecution has laid out its case -- now, comes the Jury, and the Executioner...
First, Jake: what the hell does "in the pocket" mean? Are we playing a fucking game of snooker here? What, would you like a pool cue next?!
Let's open up each verdict:
JAYDEE (Del Shannon, Runaway): Del Shannon is one of my favourite artists of all time, and for butchering his best known work with your retarded Elvis twang, I find you GUILTY and sentence you to a Communist China-style struggling consisting of an endless loop of American Graffiti where they play the song so you can learn how to sing it properly.
TARA (Elvis Presley, Suspicious Minds): Same old Tara, the music was bad, and today she even looks like that picture of Nikki Hilton that my coworker showed me during a down time at work tonight. And she sounds like Shania doing Elvis...creepy. GUILTY! Sentenced to be Big & Rich's bitch...oh wait, that's Gretchen Wilson. Dammit!
MATT (Allman Brothers, Whipping Post): Sounded to the equivalent of a baby giraffe on ice skates...to sum it up, boring and awkward. The jury sadly is HUNG, due to the part that the jury has never heard the original.
DWIGHT (Guess Who, Undun): The Guess Who are another one of my favourites, and Penis with Hair has turned Undun into something that sounded like it came out of the mouth of David Bowie and Mika's love child. GUILTY! Sentenced to be beaten to a pulp by Randy Bachman's guitar.
CARLY RAE (Ray Charles, Georgia On My Mind): Dull, dry and sadly like Ray Charles, devoid of sight -- or anything else for that matter. GUILTY and sentenced to kowtow at Ray Charles' grave at gunpoint until Ray accepts her apology.
BRIAN (Jimi Hendrix, Bold as Love): Boring, bland and crap. GUILTY! Uh...just have the tar beaten out of him. (The jury's having a tough time coming up with any more creative punishments...it's late)
KHALILA (Aretha Franklin, Natural Woman): First person of the night who didn't make me reach for the remote control to fast forward the tape. Once again, Khalila does an acceptable job. The jury finds her NOT GUILTY.
GREG (Johnny Cash, Long Black Veil): GUILTY. No more needed. Forced to hula hoop a real ring of fire until he screams uncle, aunt and the name of his second cousin twice removed's pet gerbil's name.
MARTHA JOY (Diana Ross, Love Child): An all around piece of emotionless crap. You're singing as a love child, not Britney Spears having lost her little doggie! GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY! Sentenced to be Montana's bitch for all eternity.
All verdicts and setences rendered -- Court adjourned!
__________________________Anytime I hear something bad, I hit myself with a mooncake tin lid.
...Now why does my head hurt again?
Smarter Than a Pickle, I am so glad you got the priorities straight this week. The big news was NOT about the craptastic nine.
Montana is now with us! Whatever CI dishes out in the remaining weeks, who cares? They can never take away the greatest gift of the season.
Mounts!!!!
__________________________I just sat thru this crapfest whilst enjoying a delish meal of roast lamb, salad and potato salad with some crusty bread. The meal was lovely, the entertainment was not.
Jaydee - you need to be backhanded for relentlessly doing that Elvis voice, but it's too funny for words trying to picture you singing Queen, so you get a pass. Wow that was awful - flat, off key, off beat, just off. And pull the pole out of your arse, you have no rhythm at all. Ironic considering you're copying the king of pop music and rock n roll dancing, the man who was filmed from the waist upwards due to the gyrating of the hips that drove the girls wild.
Tara - why were you charging around the stage, gesticulating like that? Were you waving in light aircraft? That was horrid too, and you looked angry and confused. Too many large words, dear?
Matt - I don't know what the applause was for. You were screaming incoherently and rasping away, murdering that song in a very peculiar way. I thought you were about to shit out your intestines halfway thru, they appeared to be causing you a lot of pain. Stop eating 6 boxes of donuts every breakfast and you might be able to sing without wheezing. Shitful.
Dwight - WTF was that? Nevermind, STFU. And the deliberate positioning of dog tags annoyed me. However I will now and always think of you as Vagina Chin ahahahah!
Carly Rae - S T F U. I hate you. You are so contrived and full of shit. Fake little prima donna. Worst version of Georgia ever, and the fake emotion makes me gag.
Brian - since when is Jimi the fare for coffee shops? That was the most boring crap rendition I have ever hear someone do of a Jimi classic. Have you even HEARD the original? And please, sing in English. I couldn't understand most of that.
Khalila - this was a surprise. She was
-on key
-in time
-on the note
It was actually really good. I thought she was the pick of the night for singing a classic well, unlike everyone else. Lovely!
Greg - did he spend 30 minutes before his performance screaming in the car park? His voice sounded like he'd been licking sandpaper. That was awful. And away from the donuts for you too, porky.
Joybot - I've never seen such a loveless, angry version of Love Child before now. She looked like she'd fuck you up with the mic if you crossed her. So so so so wrong a choice a song.....utterly painful. Flat, pitchy, off key, off beat, just aaaaaaaaaaaaawful!
Weakest of the nite - Joybot, Jaydee and Dwight.
Joybot, pack your shit.
I think the judges are suffering from Idol Syndrome, a distant relation to Stockholm Syndrome. After a while, so much shit music starts to sound ok to them.

Yay! I love that picture of Montana!
Hmm... Yet another boring night of Idol. The only high point was seeing Tyler. <3
Wow. I sound like a fantard.
Anyways. I hate to say it, but I didn't like Jaydee tonight, I forgot most of the competitors. Why did Joybot ever choose to butcher that song? It was scarier then Zack thanking Jaydee for showing "chest hair" and before that saying that he put teenaged boys into the top 22 because thier cute. Your much scarier then that, Martha. Hmm... Yet again the judges skip over that Carly messed up a bunch of notes. *Sigh* They never get bored of her. Greg must read VFTW because he didn't jump or spaz. I hate to say it but I was looking forward to see him dance after all of the boredom I was put through. And again, they rave about his "good" looks. *Eyeroll* Who would think this guy is good looking anyway?! O.o
Ugh. This T9 is such a bore. BRING BACK TYLER, LIAM AND MONTANA!! DX
What freaked me out most is that Tara, Greg, Martha Joy and Dwight seemed to have the exact same eyebrows... CREEPY!!
