EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!!
So with the aid of “the freaks from table 9” who were watching AI with me last night, we actually made a keen observation about this night of performances… it was ‘tongue’ night on American Idol. Was it particularly dry in SoCal lately? Why is everyone baring their tongues so readily?
It’s an established fact that Danny Noriega makes us want to throw up in our mouths anyway… but whoa, this tongue shot is too much to handle!
David was dubbed ‘Jabba-the-hutt tongue’ by Cornfed, because of his huge sweeping slithering swipes of the tongue to wet his lips. This happens multiple times per performance! (go watch it back)
And when Simon said how much he “loved it” during Jason’s performance… we couldn’t get enough of his ‘Danny Noriega-ish tone (and tongue work).
Danny Noriega is perhaps more tormenting in the still photo than he is to watch in person. At least when he’s on stage you’re certain it’ll be over soon.
Not so with this picture of him which is now indelibly seared on my memory. IT BURNS!!!!
It actually looks like David is after a fly on the microphone…
