We should probably preface this by saying that we have nothing against Joplinian (Janis, not Scott) American Idol contestant Amanda Overmeyer. For starters, she's like this bull-dykey, hog-riding, hard-rocking nurse. That's kind of awesome. When she was told she made it to the final 24, she did not dissolve into a weepy puddle of gratitude. Her "thing America doesn't know about me" is that she enjoys the activity of reading (i.e., not communicating with the other mongoloid contestants). And she chose a freaking Kansas song for last night's top ten girls' competition. Watching this performance, however, we couldn't help thinking that Overmeyer was one of those Angel of Death nurses, the song was the patient, and her interpretation was the fatal amount of morphine slipped surreptitiously into an I.V. when no one is looking. R.I.P., "Carry On Wayward Son."

she kinda looks like a zaftig Diane Lane. but aside from that, who the fuck is producing those packages? talk about useless and worst of all BORING. i've seen better shit on cable access.
keep rocking, my Sapphic Nightingale!!
i think she served me coffee at a diner once then beat me up in the parking lot because she overheard me diss "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues".
i'm still scared of her ahd her hairflames.
Watching a clip of a bad Idol performance that cuts off before the judging makes me feel cheated and sad.
I feel the same way when Baja Fresh forgets to include the little green onion alongside my burrito.
This song is like a mediocre burrito, and I sort of enjoyed watching it. But where's my zing?
I'm off to hunt...
Somewhere between the Harley, the copious amounts of black eyeliner, the skunk colored Elvira fright wig hair, and the white acid wash chaps, she forgot that "rock" and "rocker" sometimes refer to some kind of musical talent.
She was awful last night, totally off key, and I liked her from day. There is a Jodie Foster vibe to her.
It will be interesting to see how much of a fan base she has, considering the other 99 bland blondes sucked as well.
@Decebal: she'll pull they dykes in, much like the bears voted en masse for the chubby guys the last few seasons.
If the ugly hair was cut asymmetrical I'd be POSITIVE she's Rosie O'Donnell.
There goes everything that was great about my high school years.
I thought she might be paying homage to Spike from Degrassi Junior High with that hair. And the pants? I'm pretty sure those are leftover wardrobe from N*Sync's "No Strings Attached" tour, but don't quote me on that.
Is that a wig or a weave? A badger or a skunk?
I like her tone, I think if she took some voice lessons she might be good as a lead singer for a classic rock cover band.
That was craptastic!
She has a manic Grace Slick on coke vibe about her. Yum!
I predict - she'll be 'rocking' out Veterans Homes before you can say "Born in the U.S.A"
Really, who is styling these contestants? Someone needs to be fired. ASAP. Between this one and Kristy Lee Cook looking like an arena football cheerleader/ model for a Mervyn's Sunday mailer in her silver lame' on black lame' and Alexan'drea wearing cargo shorts and a sleeveless hoodie vest- its just too much.
That begs the question "Can you really ruin a Kansas song? Really?"
@Little Mintz Sunshine: Heh.
The thing that bothered me most was the shot of her bending her book's cover around its spine when she was "reading." Respect the binding, Whore Vidal!
It must have been Lillian Munster night on American Idol.
Interesting, but untalented.
She shrieks / looks like Elsa Lanchester!
Looks like she should be attacking Bruce Campbell after he saws his hand off.
I wish you could negative vote.
