After a couple mentor-free weeks on "American Idol," the competition gave the contestants another guest coach this week -- Quentin Tarantino.
Wait, what? What's a movie director doing telling people how to sing? (Aside from promoting his upcoming film "Inglourious Basterds," [sic]that is. We got a couple of clips from filming, but the movie's title was never actually mentioned. What up, FOX censors?)
Given the night's theme -- songs from movies -- the care with which he chooses songs for his movies and his own self-professed "Idol" fandom, though, Tarantino was a pretty decent choice. Tuesday, in fact, was his second "Idol" appearance; he previously served as a guest judge during season three. Here's a sample of what he was like as a judge back in 2004:
Tarantino's advice to the top seven wasn't all that technical, but it seemed relatively sound for the most part. We just wish he could have dissuaded Anoop and Matt from singing Bryan Adams songs.
