Love her or hate her, she looks really good here. We said last year that she was due for a sexier makeover, and it's interesting that she's finally doing it.
So, they're not infantilizing her anymore. But instead they're just making her look grown-up terrible.
I think he's the male Liza Minnelli.

Per Wikipedia, people once tested the neurological impact of her music on geriatrics. I... hope that worked out for her. Also, her name sounds like a Tolkein elf, and her outfit kind of LOOKS like said elf, if said elf were particularly saucy and hoping to charm the staff off of Gandalf.

Other than the fact that you can totally see the outline of her boobs, this is downright demure for a lady who once wore this and then OH MY GOD THIIIIIIIIS.
Then again, maybe it's not.

I love Amel Bent because, while on our honeymoon, my husband and I got addicted to Nouvelle Star (the French version of Idol), and Amel had just won the previous season and she came back and sang and the crazy judge who always fans herself (Xtina, you were not the first) was crying. Sigh. Good times. However, those pants are terrible.

This is Keen V. Somehow he looks both ridiculous and not that bad.
This is like a combination of Tron and Kanye West.
"Wait... which one am I, again?"
