  • American Idol Season 10 – Who Makes The Final 2?

    There was a lot to take in last night. All three contestants sang three times, giving us three different looks as we near the end of this season of American Idol. Lauren is singing well, but doesn’t have that stage presence down. Haley is peaking at the right time. And Scotty probably had his worst week in a while, but it might’ve been because the other two overshadowed him. Let’s get to the elimination show.

    J. Lo Booty Alert
    She kind of gave us a cool look, but I don’t think we’ll get those tight white pants that I was hoping for all season long.

    The producers put together another useless video package with the remaining three meeting with JJ Abrams.

    It’s always fun to see the contestants go back to their hometown, but I’m going to bypass all of that. You’ve seen it before, you know what it’s all about.

    In one of the more odd moves, three guys were on stage and Ryno Seacrest said they were releasing their US debut and then they started to sing in Italian. Of course they did.

    Nicole “The Terminator” Scherzinger still has a solo career? Wow. And she’s on American Idol performing her single. That’s two weeks in a row for her since she was in Steven Tyler’s video last week too. I kind of feel badly for her because she’s going to try so hard to gain any traction as a solo artist and it’s probably never going to happen. 50 Cent is on the song, which makes it three R&B/pop tracks that he’s guested on recently, including one with El DeBarge and a posthumous Michael Jackson track.

    It’s time to get to the results. The first person in the final two is Scotty McCreary. Those teenage girls love them some Scotty McCreary. And facing him is going to be Lauren Alaina. Haley goes home. I’m not sure I’ve ever been so bummed to see someone go home after I’ve picked against them all season. I loved Haley early on, then thought she was getting by on her looks, and loved her again in the last two weeks. Her leaving makes the finale a bit milquetoast. I once compared Haley to Jasmine Trias. A pox on me.

    She performed Benny & The Jets with a wink and a smile as if to say, “You voted off the wrong person people.” That girl figured it all out.

  • Is It Just Me Or…

    Is it just me or…is Baby By Me the greatest Ne-Yo song ever, until 50 Cent comes in and then it becomes the worst 50 Cent song ever?
    First it’s her neck, yeah then her back
    Yeah I’m a freak, I get into all that
    Girl I perform for ya, like a porno star
    Till ya had enough then I just need a little bit more

    Yep, the dude has to bite a Khia song these days.

    Is it just me or…does Lady GaGa need to throw the New Kids On The Block a bone?
    The first time I ever heard of Lady GaGa was on the terrible Big Girl Now cut on the New Kids latest album The Block. She was even on their comeback tour. Then she blows up. How about getting the Boston boys on a track and releasing it as a single GaGa? How about having them join you on your burning piano? Throw the dudes a bone!

    Speaking of things related to the New Kids, is it just me or should Mark Walhberg stop pretending that he wasn’t a white-boy rapper in the 90s named Marky Mark?
    And to even take it a step beyond, I think he should make a comeback. Since he’d never do it without pretending that it wasn’t him, I say we take it to the next level. How about he raps with a luchador mask on and comes out as MC Invincible, which was the name of one of his films? Ok, fine, I know that’s just me.

    Is it just me or should Kris Allen have marketed himself as the anti-Glambert?
    Since Lambert decided to go way over the top as a drama queen in marketing his album, couldn’t Allen have just done the opposite and reached out to all the people who were just disgusted with Lambert? I would’ve looked at all the markets that did the lowest TV ratings for Lambert’s set on the American Music Awards and immediately booked concerts in those areas and called myself Kris “No Nail Polish And Make-Up” Allen.

    Is it just me or is Beyonce the hottest thing in the world until she starts performing and makes mugs that make her eyes bulge out?
    If you don’t believe, you only need click here. I have no idea why she feels the need to make that face over and over again during her concerts. And to add to that, if you take Jay-Z’s mean mug when he throws down his B-boy stance, you have the muggin’est couple in music.

  • Not Necessarily The News – 50 Cent, LL Cool J, And DMX

    After the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation went down before the Grammys, I decided to stay away from making fun of the music news. That situation was way too real.

    But, there’s other stuff to joke about now.

    50 Cent Gets Pushed Back Again
    The original release date for 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct was in early February. Obviously, that time has passed. And now, 50 Cent is getting pushed back again. The reason? Well, because Dr. Dre’s heavy hitter, Eminem’s album is coming out first.

    Right now I’m on the train and the Em choo-choo car goes first.

    You have to admit, that’s probably the right move. But let’s hope 50’s album doesn’t “self destruct” before it ever comes out.

    DMX Loses A Food Fight
    Can you feel bad for Earl “DMX” Simmons these days? Highly unlikely. Already serving a 90-day sentence, DMX allegedly threw a tray of food at a detention officer. According to the story, DMX didn’t want to eat his nutra-loaf and decided to try and take another meal that wasn’t his. When called on it, he supposedly threw the tray of food at the officer. It’s possible that this episode can add more time to his stay.

    Uncle L Gets Another Shot At TV
    And here I thought when it came to television, he’d only be known as Marion Hill in In The House. That show is very memorable, but mostly because the fine Maia Campbell was in it. It looks like Uncle L, the future of the funk, is going to be on NCIS: Legend, which is a spin-off of the show NCIS, which is a show that I’ve never seen. Good for LL because maybe it will keep him away from the mic. Exit 13 was no-kay.

    Before I leave you, I can’t believe the kid who did one of the worst renditions of Michael Jackson’s Man In The Mirror that I’ve ever heard made it to the final 12 of American Idol. Yep, I’ll be back when we get down to the final 12 to break it down.
