American Idol again?

Count me among those who cannot handle this top 36 stuff. I don't recall things being so boring before. Just shove the top 12 in front of me and make me pick a couple favorites. It's really difficult to compartmentalize such a big group. We need the black girl, the male person of color, the heavily painted female that is interesting to look at, the sweet girl, the super faggy guy, the white male who thanks Jesus and his wife, the person of questionable age, the boy that is too young for the mothers to be thinking about him naked, the musician who is true to his or her sound and wants to make every theme correspond, one more black girl to split the black girl vote, the single mom who really wants this so she can make a better life for her baby, and Danny Noriega. I'm still pretty pissed off about Danny Noriega.

I want my Country Night, I want my Ford commercials, and I want to see the contestants crying because they get to meet Patti LaBelle. I did not sign up for thirty-six separate bios. I think Danny Gokey has no power to his voice. His eyewear choices are questionable. I think that Normund Gentle is really funny. I think that Adam Lambert needs a shower. I won't care about this show until the Wild Card round, and if Anoop is not given another opportunity, I will be disappointed.

Kara is the best thing about this season so far. I think between her and Simon we are all going to get a lesson on what "commercial" really means. Read Jacob's recaps at www.televisionwithoutpity.com for more swearing.

Small surprise with a great smile....

The tween girls must have been on the phone to vote Wednesday night. Kris is young, cute and it doesn't hurt to watch him perform. It seems so much talent may be falling through the cracks with this new plan to reduce to the Top 12.

The constant petty bickering between the judges is a real distraction. Maybe we should have a sub-contest to eliminate one judge???

I'm starting to look forward to the season!

Last night had it's high points and it's man you're a really shitty singer points.

Well, I enjoyed Norman Gentle. I couldn't help it. I don't think he should move on though because there are three deserving people who should get a spot. My picks from last night were 16 year old Allison who sang Heart's Alone. Her husky voice is fantastic and she was great to watch perform. She was leagues ahead of the oldest people in the competition. I also liked Megan Joy whatever. She's really pretty and cool. And she picked a great song for herself. I enjoy her and hope she will move on and just get better. And then, of course, I loved Adam Lambert. He killed it. He wanted it. He did it. He murdered. He deserves to move on. He's got one of the biggest monkeys on his back in the sense that he needs to get out from under the "I do musicals" rock. And I really think he's trying. I just wish he wouldn't have such meticulously punked-out hair. I hated it with David Cook and I hate it with him.

Vote in the poll!

Week 2 - Second 12

That was pretty pathetic. I worked out a scoring system to try to remember what everyone did. I knew they'd keep Adam to the end and no suprise he was 9 out of a possible 10. Kinda creepy but still the best performance. My only other 9 was Allison aka Raggedy Ann Hair with Mishavonna a close 8.75.......the rest were Jesse and Kai 8, Kris and Megan 7, Jasmine and Old Matt 6, Jeanine 5, Young Matt 4 and gag me Nick with a 2.

So predict to go through are Adam, Allison and Mishavonna or a possible Young Matt as runner up vote getter.

Hate this format and really wish they'd charge more for commercials to make it a 90 minute show.

A Fan?

Yeah.....we have a follower!

Poor Tatiana

So the winners are Pink Highlights, the Roughneck and Dead Wife.

I'm fine with that.

On to next week!

Danny Goky!

Okay, I'm a fan of Danny, the roughneck and Anoop. I hope they make it through. I also would like to plead with Ryan to stop trying to bring up Danny's dead wife every time he gets the chance. It is obvious to me that Danny would rather not milk that. Leave the guy alone.

IDOL 2009 IS HERE!!!

I wasn't too impressed with last night's show. It easily could have been cut back to a 60 minute show with fewer comments by the judges. Six out of the twelve performers were just filler.

I'll predict that Alexis and Danny will make it through to next week. My guess for the 3rd person is split between Steve Fowler, Country Brent or Tatiana for the drama factor. If they don't make it through on votes they still have a chance with the judge's wild card pick.
