does the SWAT team sing backup now?

ok apparently we're back to listening to the worst people (they're in the bottom because no one voted for them right?) sing. then ryan asks the judges right in front of the contestant are you saving this person or throwing them off the show?

ok he didn't say it like that. but might as well have said it...

interesting. although i love that the judges get to save someone from elimination if they want, is there a better moment... a better way they could say it...??? ok maybe i'm getting soft.

this is a competition for petes sake! if you're not ready for the smack down then you shouldn't be in the ring. you're either out or you're in. jasmine is out. i can't say i'm surprised. i'm not. good voice, but she has showed us no personality so far. nobody got attached to her enough to vote for her.

and then i look up and there's kanye west walking out on stage with his oj gloves on and all. backup singers dressed in bullet proof swat gear... nope, not joking. huh? the cute ensemble of idol wannabes just paraded around that very stage lip syncing michael jackson's ABC. what's happening people?!?! I mean, there used to be a time when performing on these shows was soooo not cool. And a few years ago there was prince performing and people figured out that they could pimp their new tracks to this huge, crazy, will pay money to vote for their favorite contestant 55 times group of viewers. we do this stuff to ourselves you know.

back to reality.

how many pair of glasses does danny have and do you think he really needs them to see or... like i said last night... ghetto fabulous fashion perhaps?

wow, have we ever noticed how tall anoop dawg is? he looked crazy tall standing there next to jorge and ryan.

oh boy every week they're going to bring back a former idol. first we're graced with kelly. yeah. and will ruben come out of hiding to appear as well? that might be worth watching... kelly wasn't. although i must admit i was just waiting to see what weight she was after the pics released of her at the grammys. she looks fine. and she's always had that pooch - you can find all the conversations we used to have about that back in the archives for sure.

ok, ok, get on with it. blah, blah, blah...yada, yada, yada... and anoop dawg is safe and jorge is out.

jasmine and jorge are packing and flying in the morning. game over. and even though i really liked jorge's voice... he's that contestant again that can't pick a song to save his life. that one who will never be able to showcase his voice as well as he did during the audition footage as far as we're concerned. that's the problem. great audition footage leaves high expectations. sad, but true. if you're william hung in your audition and then turn up in the top 13 sounding like j-hud... then people are shocked and amazed and will vote like crazy to keep ya. shock and awe baby. shock and awe.

peace out. (because I am again channeling the one they call randy tonight)

Okay so I haven't seen last night's Idol yet I have it on TiVo, hey it's hard being knocked up and having to go to bed by 8 just to drag myself to work at 4am... anyway I would have rather had Megan gone.. god I can't stand her, she always looks like she has to go pee when she is up on stage, the girl has no moves at ALL! Good to hear my boy Anoop dawg is still in it, I didn't think he sounded nearly as bad as the judges thought, maybe Paula's feathers were wrapped too tight around her neck that night, cutting off oxygen to her head and ears.. just a thought. Another thing, with the exception of Kelly and Karrie why are they bringing back the idols from the past, I know some of them made it big on broadway, blah blah blah, but why don't they bring back the ones who should have been Idols, the ones that could actually sell some damn records okay! Anyway, I'm glad my favorites (Lil, Anoop, Danny, and JT Matt) are all coming back next week. Hey and thanks for doing this blog, I totally love it!
