In the late 18th century, America kicked England's butt in the Revolutionary War. Now they're finally getting their revenge because it's British Week on American Idol. It makes me wonder if Pop Idol in the U.K. ever does American Week. I also wonder if Hollie Cavanagh is actually a mole sent from Liverpool to steal our nation's singing competition secrets. To make tonight's episode even more enjoyable, sing "For British eyes only!" from Arrested Development every time Hollie walks on stage.
Anyway, as you may have noticed, BuddyTV's American Idol expert Carla Patton is out for the week on vacation. I'm filling in for her to recap the Top 5 taking on British songs as well as music from the '60s, two themes that have nothing in common. Maybe next week it will be Broadway musicals and the Tupac songbook. Or country songs and music by artists whose names start with the letter "P."
And who better to mentor the kids for this week than Little Steven from the E Street Band, a man who is neither British nor a '60s musician. But he was on The Sopranos, so it's probably best if I don't insult him.
Now swap out your beer and pretzels for some tea and crumpets, because THIS is British American Idol!
