  • American Idol Season 8 – Which Two Go Home Tonight?

    Because of Matty being saved last week, two folks will go home tonight. We’ll see if using the save on Matty will bite them in the rear as I think they had this week to use it if they hadn’t already.

    David Archuleta performs tonight. Woohoo! Please, please, please sing Crush tonight. I mean, um, ya, David Archuleta sings tonight.

    Paula choreographed the contestants for the group song tonight. The woman can still move like nobody’s business.

    They’re performing a one of my all time favorites, Shake Your Body Down To The Ground, and are trying to hit all the classic J5 moves. At least they tried. This was probably the most fun performance thus far. And all the dudes got to try their MJ falsetto.

    Let’s dance, let’s shout (clap), shake your body down to the ground.

    It’s time to get down to business. Lil Rounds isn’t showing off the badonkadonk like she was last night. Ryan sends her to the left side of the stage and just says that it’s the end of the road for her.

    She performs I’m Every Woman again. Paula says that Lil Rounds should’ve sang like that last night. Randall says it’s just the beginning for her. Simon says he’s going to miss her family screaming every week. Kara’s boobs are exploding as she leans forward. I didn’t even hear what she said.

    Freda Payne’s corpse is on stage singing Band Of Gold. I’m kidding. For someone in her mid-60’s, she looks pretty dang good. Her vocals were pretty shaky, but her moves were on point.

    She introduced Thelma Houston who looks very much like the lady in the bright canary yellow dress that they made fun of from a couple seasons ago. But her vocals were strong.

    I don’t know why I chuckled, but she introduced KC from KC & The Sunshine Band. Ok, now I know why I chuckled. He’s terrible. Where’s David Archuleta when you need him?

    Let’s get back to the second elimination tonight. Kris and Adam are safe. Danny is also safe. Anoop is not.

    Matty is safe and Allison is not. Ugh. This is why you keep the save. Allison is the second best contestant and doesn’t deserve to be hanging out with Anoop Doggy Dog.

    It’s Archie time and he’s doing Touch My Hand. The last time I saw him was on iCarly. Shows you what kind of television I watch these days. American Idol and iCarly – where amazing happens.

    I can’t even describe young Dave. When he came out, he looked like he’d been out on a 3 day drinking bender with Bo Bice. But then he came out smiling like he was at Disney Land for the first time. And then when he was done, he was completely out of breath. What a weird performance that was.

    If Allison goes home tonight, I’m going Kanye on everyone.

    This is bad, real bad Michael Jackson
    Now I’m mad, real mad Joe Jackson

    Thankfully, Anoopy is the one to go home. Allison lives to sing another day.

    Tonight, Carrie Underwood is singing Anoop and Lil Rounds, home sweet home.

  • Clipse & Kanye – Kinda Like A Big Deal

    A friend sent this to me and it looks like people are passing it around, so why not here?

    Kanye West joins the Clipse for Kinda Like A Big Deal.

  • American Idol Season 8 – Will The Save Be Used?

    Let’s get it on.

    Ryno comes on and says that Miley Cyrus is performing tonight. I’m guessing Jamie Foxx is nowhere to be found.

    Also, Jennifer Hudson is performing tonight, which should be really good.

    The group song is performing Maniac from Flashdance. Where are the leg warmers? Adam has to be wearing them. Nope, and a special moment was lost.

    Anoop almost bailed on the stairs.

    Zac Effron is in the audience wearing a beanie for no good reason whatsoever. He has nothing on the Jonas Brothers.

    Ryno asks Allison to stand up and she is safe.

    Adam is up next and he seems halfway interested knowing that there’s no way in hell that he’s going home. He is safe as well.

    Anoop’s upside ya’ head is in the bottom three again. That might be his new home since he’s been there so often.

    Jennifer Hudson is on stage singing If This Isn’t Love. I commend Danny Goakey for having the courage to sing on stage and holding it together for his deceased wife. But this is also real courage here. That’s a strong woman right there.

    It was also a very nice song. The album isn’t fantastic, but she sings everything well on it. It’s just not too inspired, unlike most of her great work in her young career.

    Paula says she’s surprised that Anoop is in the bottom three and when asked if Anoop deserves to be in the final three, Simon said, “Yes.”

    Kris and Lil are next. Simon says that Kris was brilliant last night. Ryno says one of them is in the bottom three and one of them is safe. Lil is not the safe person. She joins Anoop.

    Matt and Danny are up next. Danny is safe and Matt joins his friends in the bottom three.

    Out of Anoop, Lil, and Matt, the one who is sent back is Anoop.

    While Miley might not be a good singer, I think the girl has talent. She has such great comedic timing for a young actress and she’s such a goof ball, unafraid to act the fool. I’ve been able to watch her Hannah Montana TV show a few times with the kids and it’s such a fun show. She just does the music stuff to show people that she can, but her future is in TV or movies. I hate to compare her to Lindsay Lohan, but I always thought Lohan was such a great physical comedic actress. I think Miley might be able to do what Lohan couldn’t because of all her screw-ups. Ok, I’m done tooting her horn. I just needed to do something while she was singing so I didn’t have to pay attention to it.

    The judges have two weeks to use the save. Simon says that he’d think about using it on one of the two and that person might be surprised.

    Matt is a goner. It’s easy for me to say that it’s a mistake for Matt to be gone, but really, it’s his own fault. He’s been so inconsistent. But now he’s singing for his American Idol life.

    The crowd is calling for the save to be used. While they were deciding, Paula’s boobs nearly ate Simon’s face. I think that helped Simon make the decision to save Matt, though he said he didn’t think Matt had a chance to win the competition. Then why use the save?

    Simon says that next week, two people will go home. He also warned us that it’s disco week.
