Season 10 Live Thread

[The Crazed Spruce]

Ten seasons? Already?

[Bookworm13]

Only 5 mins in and I can already tell Jenny is gonna make me want to throw things at my tv this season 😂

 

[SweePea59]

That rendition was nowhere near as good as the original. 

[Bookworm13]

I could listen to Nicole sing all day. Producers, how about instead of your dumb recap shows that are a waste of time, we just get a 45-min concert by Nicole. I guarantee the ratings would be higher. 
 

Edit : I love Demi and only wish we had gotten more.  One song isn’t enough.

[The Crazed Spruce]

I missed the start of the show, so I didn't catch Anonymouse's performance. So I didn't even bother guessing.

 

[SweePea59]

ABC was fun.

[Bookworm13]

Off to a good start with Gazelle, though it was hard to focus on her performance when I was worried Jenny was going to have a wardrobe malfunction. 
 

Edit : OMG, someone in the costume dept must not like Diver because that crotch octopus tentacle is super distracting and awful. 
 

Edit 2 : S’More was decent but no guesses as to who it is.

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to take Rubber Ducky seriously or if he’s this episodes goner. Voice wasn’t horrible, but that costume seems like it’d be really uncomfortable for more than one show. 

I’m confused by Cow. That was definitely not the voice I was expecting. 

Also, am I the only one who finds it weird that we get 5 performances tonight? I got so used to only 3 with lots of filler the past couple seasons, but I’m not complaining. I’d prefer more performances per show.

More thoughts

[The Crazed Spruce]

...Yeah, I don't even have a guess for any of them so far this time.

 

[The Crazed Spruce]

If Rubber Ducky survived the vote, it'll amaze the hell outta me.

[Ladybugnine]

Cow'.s speaking voice sounds like Miley Cyrus. I know it's not her.

[The Crazed Spruce]

I was gonna say that Cow was Vivica Fox's kid from Independence Day, but I looked him up, and he hasn't had much of a career since the late 90s, so the rest of the clues don't fit. (Ross Bagley, just for the record.)

[NeenerNeener]

I forgot this was on until 10 minutes in. I didn't hear any obvious stinkers so far, just some that are better than others.

[Bookworm13]

Are we only getting rid of one tonight? I’d say it’s between Diver and Rubber Ducky. 
 

Edit : @NeenerNeener I was wondering where you were or if you’d given up on this show.

If it is David Arquette, I'll be very disappointed that they didn't mention the WCW championship.

[Bookworm13]

Holy shit, Ken got one right! Am I living in an alternate reality? 

[vibeology]

Based on the clue in the preview episode about Mickey Rourke makes me think Gazelle is Evan Rachel Wood. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Getting Ken's requisite "one correct guess per season" in early, I see....

I honestly think that he may be right about Tom Sandoval too. 

[NeenerNeener]

Those football heads on the dancers are giving me the creeps.

[Bookworm13]

Me too, @NeenerNeener. Though there are few performances where they aren’t creepy. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

I think it's the "stitching" on the football masks. Adds that extra creep factor.

[Bookworm13]

I’m not liking this nearly as much as the studio audience. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Y'know, I think Gazelle just might be Constance Wu.

[NeenerNeener]

I don't see an obvious vote off so far.

 

ETA: that pickle costume is hilarious. 

So, they got rid of the stupid ding dong bell for saving people who can't sing?

Edited October 5, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[The Crazed Spruce]

...Yeah, The Pickle's one and done.

I have a bad feeling that Pickle's Joe Rogan.

[Bookworm13]

As much as I was hoping the wildcard would be someone good, I think Pickle is going home. Wish it were Diver instead(the weird crotch tentacle is, well, weird and distracting).

Wow, was not expecting Diver to actually leave! 
 

2000’s night should be fun next week.

[The Crazed Spruce]

...Huh. Did not see that coming.

They can only use it one time the entire season. 

Wait, Ken is 2 for 2 this season - am I living in an alternate reality? 

[vibeology]

I agree with Ken about Constance Wu. This may be the season where Ken knows things. 

S’more didn’t sound as strong tonight. 

Spoiler

If Pickle isn’t Michael Rapaport, my ears are broken. Sometimes you can’t hide a voice. 
I think Cow is Ne-Yo and S’more is Ashley Parker Angel.

 

[NeenerNeener]

Hmm. I don't remember the fashion in the 2000s being as bad as Jenny looks tonight.

Yeah, Pickle sounds like Rapaport. If his costume wasn't so awesome he'd have gone home last week.

[The Crazed Spruce]

And Rappaport was on a couple of episodes of Friends....

[Bookworm13]

@NeenerNeener, I agree. I expected more out of Jenny tonight. Although, to be fair, wasn’t the early 2000’s when Lil Kim walked a red carpet with only a pasty/nipple cover on one boob? Those were some weird times. 
 
 

 

[NeenerNeener]

OK, somebody thinks Gazelle is 

Spoiler

Janel Parrish from Pretty Little Liars

And Jenny just guessed correctly for S'More, according to online spoilers.

Edited October 12, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[Bookworm13]

Ken, that is not Rob Thomas. I haven’t listened to Matchbox 20 in years, but he’s got one of those super recognizable voices that you never forget. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Yeah, S'More is definitely a boy-bander.

[NeenerNeener]

OK, according to online spoilers, somebody actually correcty guessed Cow is 

Spoiler

Ne-Yo

last week.

[Bookworm13]

So we’re all in agreement that Pickle is going home tonight, right? 

[NeenerNeener]

I hope so. That gimmick should only get you so far. It is a spectacular costume, though.

Edited October 12, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[NeenerNeener]

I will never forgive Robin for butchering Tiny Dancer.

[Bookworm13]

Yay, new people tonight! 

[NeenerNeener]

Hey, all the dancers have heads this week! Woo hoo!

[SweePea59]

I don't care for Elton John, but, that was a horrible rendition of Saturday Night. Vote that Hawk off now. Don't even wait for the rest of the singers.

[Bookworm13]

Why does Robin look like he’s going to the prom in the ‘80s? Seriously, that big boutonniere(sp?) looks so out of place, especially compared to the attire of everyone else. 

[SweePea59]

Husky must either be a rapper or a musician, he does not sound like he's a singer. 

[SweePea59]

They should have Shatner back to do his (in)famous version of Rocket Man.

[NeenerNeener]

Royal Hen should be going home tonight.  So far, Group A is much better than Group B.

Unless the last act is even worse....

 

[NeenerNeener]

So Royal Hen is a one-and-done. Gloria Steinem is a good guess.

[Bookworm13]

I have no idea who Royal Hen is, and they’re clearly someone huge, but this had to be a “for shits & giggles” gig because that was not good.
