'American Idol' recap: Got Any Aspen?

Angie Zeiderman, 25, announced that people sometimes call her Lady Gaga when she walks down the street, and at that point I basically tuned out. Bleep, bloop, bleep, done. Next. But there was no next! Magic Cyclops, who was not even smart enough to pull off "delusional Russell Brand impersonator" convincingly, got the final segment of the night. Angie was the end of the road for us! Excuse me for a moment as my eyes slowly fill with tears.

The self-proclaimed "vintage glitter queen" made a just-shy-of-heroic effort to almost reveal her underpants to Steven Tyler in an extremely misguided Broadway number. Some of Randy's better instincts kicked in and he dismissed her (and the whole concept of THE STAGE) with one tired diva hand, but J. Lo would not stand for that. "How many people came in here and could do what she just did?" she asked the Dawg, and if you really take a moment to think about the answer to that question, you'll realize it's one of the most meaningless questions ever asked. Randy obviously hated it, so…..

So. Angie got to sing a "real song" ("Blue Bayou") and sounded much better but still not that great. So what did Randy do? He suppressed every fiber of his Dawgged nature that was trying to bark at him that "this is kind of not the right show for a vintage glitter queen," and had a change of heart. "I LOVE HER!" decided Randy. So it's settled! We will (probably not) see Angie soon.

See you tonight for Texas -- think that crazy girl will show up? (WHICH ONE?)
