If you've watched American Idol this season, you're no stranger to the Steven Tyler crazy gram. In fact, lately, it probably seems like he's been sending you one every time a contestant performs well on the show. They're gushy. They're enthusiastic. And they're endearing. They may even have turned your grandma into an Aerosmith fan.
You know what I'm talking about. Re: James Durbin, "I'll join your rich vein of inner crazy." Re: Paul McDonald, "You're a cool dude in a loose mood."
At first, these sorts of comments have us nodding in emphatic agreement. It's only afterwards, as our brains sift through the odd diction - the zany logic, the wacky vocab - that we are left wondering, "huh?"
This week, Steven sent his crazy gram to us in a moment of sadness... a moment, when the tissues simply would not suffice...a moment, when we needed him the most.
Pia Toscana, the #1 seed of the singing tournament, was eliminated at the buzzer... not because she performed poorly, but because she shockingly received the lowest number of votes.
JLo was flabbergasted, "I'm shocked. I'm angry. I don't even know what to say."
Randy offered, "I'm gutted. You're one of the best singers in this, you know?"
But it was crazy gram Steven, who somehow seemed to sum it up best: "I don't know what happened with this. She's beautiful. When she sings, she's a bird."
Bye, Bye Birdie.
