Whatcha Say: The Good, The Bad & The Evancho In This Week’s Reader Comments

During the past seven days, we posted our 10 Out Of ’10: Idolator’s Favorite Albums Of The Year list, Nicki Minaj got catty (maybe?) with Chelsea Handler, Avril Lavigne revealed her “What The Hell” single cover, Jackie Evancho wowed the masses with her Tonight Show performance and news came that Eminem will once again be gracing the silver screen. And just how did our readers react to this blustery blizzard of pop snow? Read below!

:: failburdy thought we needed glasses on Nicki Minaj Looked Like She Was About To Get All Roman Up On Chelsea Handler: “You have to understand that Nicki was first an actress over a rapper/singer. So it could just be that Nicki is acting like she could be offended. Not to mention she has an awesome ass so I don’t know why she would be offended :P”

:: TV Watcher also spun things in a more positive light: “Love Chelsea Lately show and watch it every nite… This show is all about fun/silly and if you take anything on this show seriously, then you are stupid!… Laugh on and enjoy life… Go Chelsea!”

:: Shag didn’t seem to excited over Eminem Returns To Acting, Will Star in Boxing Movie Southpaw: “Has anyone ever seen this clown smile?”

:: Lisa wasn’t feeling Avril Lavigne Looks Bored As Hell On The Single Sleeve For “What The Hell”: “I’m still waiting for Avril to grow out of her punk girl phase. Sure, she doesn’t wear the ties anymore, but she still has the black raccoon eyes, the long, stringy bedhead hair, the aforementioned dazed ‘I don’t care if you like my music’ stare, and the see-through blouse that says, ‘I may not care what you think, but aren’t I sexy?’ Actually, I guess that’s sort of a cross between an emo girl and a scene girl. In any event, she still looks like she could sing ‘sk8er boi’ un-ironically, which, at the age of 26, she really shouldn’t be able to do.”

:: Dee, on the other hand, seemed eager for new material from the Canadian pop singer: “I really miss Avril, I can’t wait for her to make a comeback. I am so sick of the currently popular female artist that are charting in the last four or five years, most of them are so boring and I seriously doubt anyone will miss them when the go away, It is time for some new Avril, I can hardly wait.”

:: Mark Daniel Snyder agreed with our roundup on 10 Out Of ’10: Idolator’s Favorite Albums Of The Year: “You all are right on with these picks. I loved Kelis, Scissor Sisters, and Robyn the most!”

:: Vertigoshtik also thought we got it right: “I don’t always agree with you folks critically, but I have to say I’m surprisingly pleased and impressed with this list. Your support for/appreciation of Robyn (rare among US mainstream media) has always been great, and it’s awesome to see the Kelis and Scissor Sisters albums here, plus it’s the first 2010 albums list I’ve found that doesn’t end with gushing, predictable Kanye worship – refreshing!”

:: Steve D. had a religious experience on Jackie Evancho Lights Up The Tonight Show With “O Holy Night”: “Ask yourself this question: Can any other vocalist on the planet sing this song as good or better than than this 10 year old? My answer is no. This little girl is ‘other-worldly’. A phenomena the world has never seen before. Unbelieveable, unexplainable, and there are no words in any language that can explain how she can awaken the emotions of millions to the point of tearful joy! We are witness to a miracle!”

:: Jackie even sent Len back in time: “Every time she sings the song, she gets better. Her learning curve is phenomenal. So park your jealousy in the corner and enjoy genius as it blossoms. In the depths of the Great Depression, another little girl became a beacon of hope during a dark time. The president of the time said it best, ‘thank God for Shirley Temple.’ Maybe, lightning does strike twice.”

:: COMMENT OF THE WEEK: Grandmother Willow knitted up the ultimate zinger of the week on Jackie Evancho Lights Up The Tonight Show With “O Holy Night”: “When are we all gonna wake up and realize this 10-year-old isn’t an angel from heaven who will cure all the evils of the world with her warbling? Sure, she’s a great singer, but let’s honor the REAL heroes who do Christ’s work on Earth. Like Ke$ha.”
