So the one thing I can say is that this would be a really good group on tour... good like the 3 divas year tour. The group number was HOT... (I'm channeling Randy right now). The group number tonight is probably the best part of tonight's show. All I have to say is if they had taken their butts out there and sang that well last night they wouldn't be getting voted off right now.
That's pretty profound huh? OK I think I'm done. That's all I need to say tonight.
ok ... ok, just hoping it's a better show than last week.
First let me just get this off my chest - why are ya'll hating on my boy Danny? I'm reading a lot of haters out there. Everyone has a freakin' sob story if you watch their pieces... he's no different. His wife died just week's before the auditions people! Really, I'm like Meryl Streep in Doubt when it comes to compassion but really now, give the man some love. The wife thing aside... he can outsing most anyone there! Except maybe this little Allison girl. She's singing again and the more I hear her...WOW does that girl have a voice. I am loving her right now. The first girl voted thru.
Which reminds me. My sister and I were talking... and we are SO glad that the winners are the ones that sing now during the vote off. NOT the sad and pitiful losers getting voted off that obviously sucked the night before. I mean show us the reason why America voted you off is what they might as well have said to them.
STOP... Wait just a minute. Let's just stop for another minute cause I'm watching this new judge Kara talk ... and wow, I can't stand her brazen, cockiness about her new job. I think Paula is about to slap her down tonight. Get in one for me Paula. Her little smart alec remarks tonight just ruined it for me. Play it back people - 29 minutes in if you Tivo. Wow, I sure hope she and Paula don't meet in a dark back room somewhere tonight cause we all know Paula can bring the crazy. I won't tell anyone Paula.
Back to the results. So just like I thought Kris made it in on the cute vote. But I'm not mad at ya America. He can sing.
And how awesome was that Idol retrospective!?! See, those early years... that's what I'm talking about. Rubin, Clay, Fantasia, Kelly, THAT'S how you do a competition people. No stupid song choices. Although Fantasia had some really bad fashion choices that never seemed to resolve themselves did they? Remember that? those were the days...hhmm... ok back to the show...
A whole bunch of people who picked bad songs just got dumped off the show and once again we're left with the best singer and the crazy singer for the last vote off. It's all predictable drama. And let me tell you, I was gonna jump off this couch if Norman drag performer Nice beat out Theatre Adam. My sister said Norman was gonna make it... she had a feeling. I was holding my breath. (not really) Look, all ya'll out there who voted for Nick even just once need your heads examined. And you know who you are. Don't do this ridiculous stuff just to be funny. That's how the sanjya's, goat girls and reds end up in the top 10.
Well it's over. All is well. People you did as I thought. Adam, Allison and Kris. Go on with your bad self Theatre Adam. Just go on.
Alright ya'll I'm out. Peace! (still channeling Randy)

Feb 25, 2009
Don't go naming your babies Barack and other good advice
Sooo... the anticipation... expectations were high....
How many of you had a tiny secret panic attack last night when you discovered that Idol wasn't on? I mean, you checked the listings like 7 times, looked at your DVR season pass listings to see where you went wrong... and then you realized that our man Obama was taking the stage last night instead. O.k. totally the only person who gets a pass for preempting Idol. Go on with your bad self Barack.
O.k. so the show tonight: well, not so worth the wait right? May have even been happier with another hour of Obama. I mean better than last week's group of 12, but still what is up with these totally whack song choices people?!? 8 freakin' seasons in and apparently no one has seen the show???? Alright, no point in making this longer belaboring that point. I could go on and on. I could also capitalize properly in this post, but tonight I'm tired, and at times - won't. Just so you know, all you language buffs out there... i know. don't go writing in about how I can't even write properly. Anyway, a lot of people singing so let's get thru this mess from tonight.
Jasmine - She can actually sing. Loved her in hollywood rounds. Super cute girl, super wrong song choice. Remember honey, potentially only 1 girl is in... and it won't be you.
Matt (or JT I like to call him) - look, this guy showed INCREDIBLE talent in the hollywood rounds. Seriously reminds you of an early, unpolished Justin Timberlake with soul, a voice and a boy band look doesn't he? Don't act like I'm the only one! I was waiting for him to bring the JT vibe tonight and was disappointed. Terrible song choice. Simon completely nailed the comment tonight... "you turned from a cool guy at the piano singing Ray Charles into a sort of wanna be pop star". Maybe he'll still make it thru on the JT factor.
Jeanine - Maroon 5????? What the heck is going on here people? Hot pants and all those vocal runs did not help you at all. Sorry. Cute and all... but even Paula could think of nothing to say but great legs. Then Simon said, horrible song, great legs. Then Randy said, the legs are hot, but I was dying over here, what's going on tonight. Then Kara said, pretty girl, nice legs, everything about it was wrong. Then Ryan says what did you do to prepare your legs for tonight?
Wait, is this a vocal competition? I'm so confused? There's no rose ceremony at the end is there? Oh yeah, I'm on the right channel.
well...maybe... cause up next is the freaky Norman Gentle. Or as I like to call him awesome drag performer who forgot his wig at home and had to go on anyway. I mean seriously I have seen some incredible drag performances in my time people. And you sir would be really, really good at it. No joke. I will hook you up with some gowns dude cause I can sew like there is no tomorrow. Used to work in a costume shop. The sad part about this guy is that he actually does have a voice and if he could sing a song without turning into Patti Lupone as Mama in Gypsy he would have had a few more weeks in this competition. Dude, call me. I will hook you up.
Is this a vocal competition? I'm still confused... After one of my favorite talking babies from E-trade commercials I'm back and still confused... until this next girl starts singing.
Allison - the one girl who should make it in this round. Ok those of you who are a little young and don't understand the great powerballad she sang by Heart... (hello!!! that's what they called them back in 1987!) well this girl powered that song out. She is so the dark horse as the judges say in her video piece. Don't even mind the flaming hair, wild get up and all. She's 16 and it's still cute on her. Now put that on a 50 year old (ala cyndi lauper) and not so cute anymore. she's maybe a little out there and wacky when she's not singing and I hope that doesn't hurt her votes. Stick with the talent people!
Kris - well, well, well... when he said he was singing Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror I actually threw up in my mouth a little. I was all WHO DOES THAT 8 YEARS INTO THE SHOW!!!??? No Michael!! But then he got to the middle and finished strong. It was a little unfunky (translation: no soul) for me but he held his own vocally. Kinda like a wedding singer version of michael jackson actually. I had high hopes for him, but he's out. Unless the girls go for the cute.
Megan - Nope. Look, the judges are all about hip, cool, different. Just not for me. Super cute girl making some sad fashion choices (put your shoes on - you're on tv!). Irritating voice.
Ok. Welder Matt - really does have an amazing voice. American Idol? No. Don't quit your day job just yet honey. Another bad song choice - sounded fine, but nothing special to it. Not sure what the voters will make of him... can't get a good reading on him.
Jesse - Bette Davis Eyes????? Why people? Why? Look, these people can all sing, but somehow here they are with their big break on t.v. and they all manage to choose these whack songs??? I'm so confused. You're finally on tv girl!! TV has finally found you!!! Here are your 5 minutes of fame... sigh... it's not working... they can't hear me.
Kai - great hair. If I let me son's hair grow out it would probably be just like that. Uhhmm, hence the reason for those clippers I invested in years ago. Ok sorry, got distracted - like me, you can stop at the hair cause there's not much else to love about this guy tonight. Shave, look like you bathed and washed your clothes before going on t.v.... like I said above... Here are your 5 mins of fame and you choose that song and look???
... they still can't hear me can they? I give up. Seriously...
Misha - now here's the thing: this girl has a REALLY good voice. WHACK, whack song choice for her and I should make this quite clear to everyone trying out for season 9 - you will NOT go far if you have already given this show a go and gotten dissed by the judges or the voters. Statistically improbable that you will end up the Idol on your second try. Anyway... she may make it through this round but not too much further.
Adam - NOW... some of you will undoubtedly think I'm all kinds of kookie in the brain, but this guy is just about the best male I've heard sing anywhere lately in a pop/rock arena. Paula is right when she says he's like watching a concert you paid to see, not an amateur competition. His voice and range incredible, he looks good, trendy, looks great on stage, I could go on and on but he's a record company's dream!! Hard to say what the voters will do with him. Mainly because many people won't understand just how incredible his voice has to be to sing that way.
All said and done, Adam and Allison. 3rd to sneak in could be Matt, Misha and Norman Gentle. Just kidding... Kris may get the cute votes and survive this cut.
I'm out and we'll see what happens tomorrow.
it is what it is.
