Idol - Opry week

This is gonna be a very short post.

No, Adam Lambert. No. That was not ok.

also...good for Anoop.

Seriously. I want to slap Adam Lambert in the face.

It should have been Michael, not Alexis.

STFU Adam Lambert.

Why I'm VH1's bitch.

Vh1. Video Hits 1. I remember when VH1 came out and it showed the videos you probably weren't going to see on MTV (MUSIC television). It was more of a coast-type station, playing the hits of the 70's, 80's and today. Today being the 90's. Now VH1 is the home of some amazing celebreality shows and some really shitty parade of douchebag reality shows.

First of all, my love for VH1 really started with the "I Love The _____" series. Funny people talking about toys and movies and songs I loved and hated growing up. The perfect way to waste a Sunday afternoon. Then VH1 brought us Best Week Ever, which I love. It's what Entertainment Tonight and Extra and all of those shows should have always been from the start.

Vh1 is the home of trashy reality. Some of it I just hate. Some of it I love, and hate that I love. Some I just f-ing love.

Rock of Love. Where do I even begin? I have been a Poison fan since before braces. So of course I watched the first season of Rock Of Love. It was gross and wonderful, just like my breakfast of bacon on a buttered english muffin. Now we are in season 3, this time we are on the road with Bret and the sampler box of strippers, pets, groupies and of course Big John. I am still 2 episodes behind but I absolutely have my favorite. Ashley, with her amazing delivery of such lines as "I'm not just gonna sit here and let this bitch throw chips at my face" and "I want a cheeseburger" won my heart. I hope her tour doesn't end for a long, long time.

Sober House. I love Dr. Drew. I have been invested in this show since season one of Celebrity Rehab. While I have a wide range of feelings about the various participants past and present (Gary Busey...I can't even start), my love for Dr. Drew is what holds it all together for me. Seriously, I love him.

I don't watch Tool Academy or any of the other shows without famous (or somewhat famous) people in them. I'm bored and I don't want to watch douchebags on reality tv unless those douchebags were on sitcoms when I was 12.

resultzzzzzzzzzzzzz (spoilers)

Tonight's American Idol results show went pretty much as expected. My guesses on the last post were Jasmine and Michael, but I thought if not Michael than Jorge.

Oh and the twist! The shocking twist that will no longer be relevant after tonight. The judges could "save" one of the bottom two, but didn't so it doesn't matter.

Thank goodness for tivo and the fast fwd button so I didn't have to suffer through Seacrest repeating the names of the songs each contestant sang and what the judges thought of them. Also, I didn't have to listen to Kanye. Kelly Clarkson however, was the highlight of the show.

By the way anyone else find the song titles of the booted contestants just a little ironic?
jasmine - "I'll Be There"...um, no you won't.
Jorge - "Never Can Say Goodbye"...I know it's difficult. Just say Adios instead.

Will this be like the season where everyone that wore a hat got kicked off? If you sing a song about being there or longevity you are just kicking yourself in the ass??

American Idol zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ok. so here are my thoughts about last night's lame top 13 episode of American Idol.

First of all, I agree with commenter Liz that the best way to watch Idol would be watching the first 8 bars (i will also add the very last note) and then skipping ahead to Simon's comments. However, being the glutton for punishment I am, I had to watch every second of the 1st episode. Ugh.

Let's start with the stupid new entrance of the judges and then Miss Congeniality Seacrest walking down a flight of stairs center stage. No. No no no no no no no. no.

also, Paula looked like she spent a little extra time at the crazy arts and crafts table getting ready for tonight's show. Seriously, feathers AND glitter???

Lil' Rounds was up first. I don't get why the judges seem to be so crazy about her. Yeah, she's a pretty good singer and she has 3 kids, but who doesn't have some kids this season? Lil' sings "The Way You Make Me Feel" (did I mention it's Michael Jackson night?). Poodle and I thought it was bland, boring and just ok. The judges raved. Except for Simon who said it was just ok. Thank you Simon.

So Lil' Rounds set the bar...about waist high.

Next up we have Scott Macintyre. Keeping the Faith. During his intro video package we got to meet his family and find out that his sister is also blind. Then there is a clip of them dancing together. It's the blind leading the blind...literally. Poodle and I make some jokes, and are going to hell because of it. He plays the piano and sings. Not bad. But still, i'm bored.

Ah, Danny Gokey. I enjoy him. His voice is a little different, and I really like it. He isn't a great dancer, but he was feelin' the music and you could tell he came there to win. The judges were impressed with his version of PYT.

Then some more boring people perform. I'm not gonna recap them all. I think all of the female contestants this season have kids, except for the 2 who are kids themselves.

At some point, Simon actually said to a contestant "being an artist is fine - just not on this show". couldn't have said it better myself.

I do like Alexis who sang "Dirty Diana".

My predictions on the 2 who will be eliminated tongiht? Probably Jasmine and Michael.

And i'm still mad that nobody sang the Free Willy song.
