What can I say about this? American Idol is trying to kill me. “Goodbye, hot Aussie man.”
*mourns*
I haven’t blogged yet today. And. And, I never really did an Idol post. What? Am I feeling well? Actually I am. I am just a little unmotivated this week. I attribute it to working the weekend. That is mentally exhausting as well as physically.
You believe that, right? That excuse flies? No? Aw, hell. So what if I have been lazy! Sheesh…
Anyhoo. Idol was grand last night. It was a bit on the Jesus-y side again tho. The theme was songs that ‘inspire you’. David Cook sucked, while Kristy Lee Cook was.. not horrible. I still hate her though. Michael Johns looked and sounded amazing. Our hosts this week (we were off the hook last night) did a great job. I gotta say tho, watch out for the blueberry martini. It’ll get ya if your not careful!
That brings us to tonight. American Idol Gives Back. I loved this one last year. I know, it’s a lot of fluf, and a bit corny. I can’t help it. I insisted on watching it this year. We had Fred over for dinner and then we watched the entire program. It was just what I wanted! I laughed, I teared up, and I think I fell in love with Miley Cyrus. Even though she doesn’t watch Idol… Srsly tho. For 15 years old, this girl has got it going on. I was a bit shocked when she crawled on the floor. Her dad must be so proud. I love her! Other highlights included Jimmy Kimmel’s intro for Simon, Fergie, Heart, OMG FERGIE AND HEART!!! The Idol’s group performances were really good too. I loved the opener with my dancers from So You Think You Can Dance… Actually the SYTYCD kids were all over the whole show! Very nice.
It was great. But I really am tired, so good night…
Okay hi. American Idol is giving me stress! Why am I sooo into it this year? It literally stresses me out..
So we jump right into the show with the usual Sofa or Stools. Michael Johns gets the sofa! (He is sooo hawt.) Next up is David Archuleta.... guess what he got! You are correct. The boy goes to the sofa. One more before the break, Carly Smithson. She’s on the sofa!
Back from the break for viewer calls. *yawn* I hate viewer calls. Ryan never picks the funny ones I see up on the board either. What’s this? Aband performing? From the ‘Next Top Band’ or something.. they seem suck-y to me. Not my thing maybe. Time for commercial. FORD commercial! Very cute! Do they ever air these again?
Okay, more Sofa or Stools.
So I knew that yesterday was April Fools’ Day. I even wrote about it here. Yet when I was sitting in front of the TV with a house full of people ready to watch Idol and Ryan said that tonight’s broadcast was going to be preempted I totally fell for it. Omg.
As usual with guests for American Idol, I ended up putting the blog on a back burner. I figure it would be rude to keep pausing the show so I can run upstairs to review each performance. Heh. Right. So that being said, I should also admit that we talked over most of the show too. Good thing Idol blogging isn’t my job, right? Anyway, it was country night. Blech. At least that’s what I thought it was going to be. Dolly Parton totally saved us. She was mentoring the kids this week so the songs were from her career. Who knew there were so many Dolly songs? Great songs, too.
I thought David Cook and Carly Smithson really did well. Kristi Lee Cook sucked again, which surprised me during country week. Ramiele I think is in danger, but I am always wrong… BTW David Cook was hospitalized after last nights performance for heart palpitations! He was released shortly after and is fine now.
Do you know what sucks? Writing your whole post and having your browser crash. I think that has happened to me once before. Us Mac users are just NOT prepared for that sort of thing… *hates*
Anyway. Crap. Where was I?
Drama, drama, drama. These American Idol results shows are just too much. The buildup. The group song (always kinda lame), the recording studio montage which was really an iTunes commercial. The Ford commercial. The previous Idol runner up singing. Stool, sofa, sofa, sofa, sofa, stool. Gah! The tension! I love it! The official bottom 3 was Syesha, Chikezie, and Jason. (Has anyone else noticed Jason’s really tight jeans every week? Just curious...) So wait, we are keeping Kristy Lee Cook? *gouges ears*
Wow. Chikezie is going home. See? I am always wrong. This last time I didn’t mention even one of these folks. Heh.
American Idol… From my bed. LOL. Okay, so far Ramiele kinda ruined that Heart song, and Jason did a Sting song. Ugh. Jason. I keep waiting for him to do Smelly Cat for cry-eye… Syesha next. Now this is promising! Randy loves it, stellar even. Paula thought it was brilliant. Simon is more critical. Ouch.
(Side note: I miss skipping comercials...)
And we’re back with Chikezie. If Only For One Night. I like it. But Randy is picky tonight… He didn’t love it. Paula disagrees, she liked it. Simon thought the performance was cheesy, unoriginal. Brooke’s turn. She’s weird. I want to like her, but I don’t. She’s doing a Police song. I don’t love it. I think it’s the piano thing. I don’t like when the play instruments. Distracting. Randy thought it was alright. Paula and her drag-queen gloves thinks Brooke is consistent. Simon agrees with Randy.
Another break! Sheesh already…
Oh my gaaawd. Srsly. Wow.
Okay, where to start? It’s so weird to be home to post the results show. I got used to it being on Thursday. So this one, I have to admit… I used the fast forward function on the ol’ DVR. There was just soo stuff. I think we need to cut the results show down to like 30 minutes already. The American Idol Ford commercials are bad enough without the ‘making of’ thrown in. Am I the only one that thinks so?
So the bottom 3 were kinda predictable to everyone but me. Of course Kristy Lee Cook was a no-brainer. But Carly Smithson? Amanda Overmyer? I was shocked. I figured Chikezie or Ramiele maybe… Sheesh. As it turned out, Amanda is going home. Was I wrong! But really tho, Amanda is out and we have Kristy? Ugh. That is retarded. What are the ‘Vote For The Worst’ people up to anyway? (Okay, I just peeked over there and apparently Amanda WAS who they were voting for. OMG. So America really likes Kristy??)
Bah. What can I tell you about American Idol last night? Not doing a one by one run-down as I watch makes it tough. I can say that it overall did not seem like a good night. First off, it was more Beatles. Bah. Not my favorite, and I feel bad for these kids that have to sing songs they have never experienced first hand. Heck, I didn’t even experience them first hand. Anyhoo, David Cook and Amanda Overmyer stood out for me. I thought they were perhaps the strongest of the night. I think the group I was with also enjoyed Carly Smithson. It was hard to tell, cause when you are in a group, if a performance sucked you tended to gab… We talked a lot last night. And Michael Johns’ ass got rewinded and paused. Apparently I am not the only fan. Heh. He did look good tho. Too bad it’s not a hawtness competition.
I still think Kristy Lee Cook has to go next.
Well, that’s it for our little lap dancer David Hernandez on American Idol. I am kinda sad to see him go. I thought that Kristy Lee Cook shoulda got the axe. But what can you do? My local news just said “A juicy backstory wasn’t enough to keep him on Idol” LOL. I can’t believe they said that! Who cares about the stripping for cry-eye!? I think the gay angle in the story was what hurt more than the stripping… I doubt the gays get many of the teenage girl votes, yanno? I could be wrong tho…
UPDATE: Topless David photo after the jump (via)
Getting voted off on ‘American Idol’ is never a fun experience, but the last of the three semifinal rounds is always particularly cruel. Each of the four contestants voted off the show on Thursday was one week away from being one of the 12 finalists. They came within a few moments of a huge chance to develop a fan base, and then had it snatched away while hearing Simon Cowell talk about how they really weren’t all that good anyway.
There were no big shocks among the unlucky this week, which didn’t make it any easier for Asia’h Epperson, Kady Malloy, Luke Menard or Danny Noriega. Full Story
