AMERICAN IDOL POST! Spoilers will abound inside. If you're not watching, guess what? I don't care, save it for another thread.→[More:] SOUL PATROL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I saw that one already. The sedan tumbles off the cliff, but Issac and Molly managed to get their seatbelts off in time. Edgar is Officer Calloway's father, and the house really is cursed.
But in all seriousness, I don't think we even have American Idol on TV here this year. Of course, it's Big Brother season, so that takes up pretty much the whole 3 hours per day that's not dedicated to CSI reruns.
How sexy was his duet with Toni Braxton? My old roommate, who is here watching, said she'd pay money to watch them hook up. How sexy would THAT be?
And p.s., no Clay Aiken in sight. Come onnnnnnnn, they knew he was gay, the whole scandal is their fault anyway, shame they feel the need to abandon him.
El oh el at your ALL CAPS excitement! And, I dunno, I thought his hair looked better! UGH I just want to see Grey get all emotional and cry and sing and play his harmonica. I will get a total girl boner, don't tell anyone!
SHUT UP THIS IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER. I HATE how they make them sing all these "Yay we're friends I love you guys so much BFF!" songs. UGH. STOP IT.
Which is here, by the way. Detailed at the otaku level. Actually, there's been a cool side-effect -- somebody usually starts an article for every song on the show.
Hahaha, remember when he auditioned initially and Simon was hesitant to send him to Hollywood, telling Paula and Randy "You won't put him through to the semifinals." And now he's the American Idol. : )
I thought it was cool to see the three cowboys. Garet is just adorable.
And am I the only one who thinks Bucky sounded better tonight than he did the whole time he was competing?
I'm glad it's over. I watched this season just to see what the Big Deal Was About, and was rewarded with a lame show with stock judges who always say the same thing:
Randy Jackson: "What up, Dog, yo, yo, listen man, yo, you were a little pitchy, but all in all dog, we either have a HOT ONE UP IN HERE or it just didn't do it for me tonight, dog.
Paula Abdul: You have so much insert adjective. You are the insert noun and insert noun of this competition. I love you and I always have.
Simon Cowell: That was either: your best performance in this competition (as opposed to last week when I said this), or It was like bad karoake!
I won't even address the whole Ryan Seacrest thing. He's like some hideous Ken Doll that was shot full of live-giving electricity in a bell tower somewhere. *shudder*.
Shows like this make me want to destroy my television with an axe.
