56 million votes this week and FANTASIA sings live tonight. Well whoop-de-doo!!!

Group performance of Aint No Stopping Us Now was just terrible and hard to watch-they had to have been lip-syncing because it sounded like at least 30 people were singing.  You think they could follow simple dance moves by now without moving their lips to count off the steps, but NOOOOOO, Archie is having a hard time “1..2..3..4.. smile…turn…clap…” and you can see his little lips move.

Looks like most of the Season 8 contestants are in the audience tonight-I wonder if the Idol Machine flies them in or if they get there on their own dimes? Saw Chikezie, David H, Kristy Lee, Ramiele.

Ford Video-no comment



Recap of last night- skip this!!! WE SAW it already…most of us have short term memory intact and can remember things for 24 hours…



OMG WHO IS THAT…Its some chunky rapper stomping around the stage looking like a parrot with a scarlet head!!!  What is she doing?  This is SINGING??? On what planet?

She looks like hell, sounds like a rapper, just screaming the “lyrics” and lurching all over the stage…then stopped to sing up at some clown in the balcony with a hat hiding 99% of his head and face…Bazooka Joe, no that was a turtleneck sweater…..who’s that character off Fat Albert with the hat???? DUMB DONALD!!!!! HEY HEY HEY  It’s FAN-TASIA.  It was far and away the WORST performance by a guest star in Idol history and the only part I enjoyed was the expression on Simon’s face that they managed to catch on camera-just sitting there with his mouth hanging open.

I’d put a fair sized bet that Fantasia will never be invited to perform again on Idol after that mess……maybe that was her strategy.  You know how difficult it is for these “superstars” to return to Idol to acknowledge that they got their start this way…..

ANYWAY…I'm sidetracked again

David A

Watched clips from his trip home to Utah-he was goofy and uneasy, especially with the screaming girls-crying about the crowds, overly grateful and thankful and teary…and then we move onto Ryan’s over the top melodramatic proclamation that there is a “VERY REAL POSSIBILITY TTHAT HE MAY BE LEAVING THIS STAGE”

Oh shut up.

Syesha-trip home to Sarasota/Bradenton. My mom lives in Bradenton and never watches Idol, but even she can identify Syesha. She said it was such a big deal that they even talked about it in church and it was all over the news for days.  I found Syesha’s recovering addict father to be a huge annoyance -all the crap about this being a “natural high” and how he has struggled with his addictions…excuse me, dimbulb…this is about your DAUGHTER!!! 

David C-trip home to Blue Spring MO was by far the most fun video clip to watch, in spite of the hag holding the “Cougars for Cook” sign. He may be 25, and technically legal, but if you own underwear older than David and you are drooling over him, then you should be ashamed of yourself.  It’s bordering on pedophilia. Watch and enjoy the view in silence.  David seemed at ease in front of big crowds and truly thankful-no false humility got in the way, loved his comment that it was the “coolest day of my life” and that he got to do everything he ever wanted, all in one day.  Yes indeed, he’s got my vote for sure.  Loved the clip with his elementary school music teacher-think he made her very proud and I suspect she will NEVER forget that day.

Syesha is going home-thankfully, no nasty surprises… and I’m looking forward to Simon’s “HUMDINGER” of a finale…..
