Idol: I-Tune Down Loads Equals Big Let Down

Well, as speculated, it was the Top I-Tunes Downloads theme on Idol tonight, allowing for something more 'current.' But the whole night, with a few exceptions, proved to be a big let down.

Let Down #1: Allison's outfit and Edward Scissorhands' hairdo. Even Randy couldn't wait to get through the positive comments to ask, "What is up with the outfit?!" We all know Allison's voice is amazing, so I have to focus on the question that still begs to be answered: Just what has the 'Glam Squad' done to her? Please. De-glam my Allison at once and give her back to me a-la 'Alone' days! But they won't do this, and you know why? Because it wouldn't be right if we had an unknown early front runner who didn't have the help of a producer pimp-out be allowed to shine. Oh no. We have to allow Simon tell her that she 'shouted the song'! WTF?!! Chopped locks + Fourth Slot + Insane Critiques + Mustache Doodles = SABOTAGE!

Let Down #2: Matt Giraud's conceit creeps back in (even sans fedora!) It started out with his comment tonight, 'I'm going to be doing a song for me' (as opposed to what he apparently did last week when he did a song for the judges). Oh please, Matt. Do a song for you. That is what this show is all about after all, right? So he sings a song by the Fray, plopping himself right smack in the middle of the audience, like he is some sort of god or someone who already deserves to have his own 'Unplugged' show. Even Paula was in tune to Matt's wannabe Chris Martin antics. Oh but remember Paula, after Matt imitated Coldplay in Week 1, he informed us, 'well this is the artist I want to be,' to which Simon warned, 'no you don't. I wouldn't say that.' Come on, Matt. Listen and stop the premature self-indulgence man.

Let Down #3: Megan Corkrey attempts to slow it down with Bob Marley/Lauryn Hill ("Turn Your Lights Down Low"), but it just ain't working. And then to boot, she cops an attitude! "Well my fans were feeling it, so vote for me guys." "I liked my song and i stand by it." Ugh! There is nothing I can't stand more than judge back talk. Listen to me, Megan. They were spot on with their criticisms. We are all trying to help you. Not hurt you. You know what, Megan. I was a fan of yours. But you were walking a thin line last week with the sass girlfriend and you have definitely crossed the line this week. You know what, since you want to be so self-indulgent with Lauryn Hill, how 'bout this. 'You might win some. But you just lost one. You just lost one.' A fan that is. I have steam coming off my fingers and an awful look on my face as I type in a fury right now. Okay, cool down, Elizabeth. Moving on.

Let Down #4: Well, I think it's official. I believe I am over Danny Gokey. He had a good song choice, "What hurts the most." He got praise by all of the judges. Heck, he practically did everything 'right'. But why then did I feel so unenthusiastic afterward? I did not get goosebumps. I did not want to hit rewind right away. And my tell-tale sign of whether or not I am in love with a performance is if I want to watch it immediately again after it has ended. So I'm afraid I just don't have the love for the Gokey anymore. He gave me his all, but it just wasn't enough. Oh well, Danny. We had a good run, didn't we? And what was up with that 'when you get a heart' comment by him? Are we all tin men? Here I thought we were all born with those silly things.

Let Down #5: Lil' has the chance to do some Mary J., to sing something current, and she sings, wait for it . . wait for it . . Celine Dion! And in keeping with old fashions, she also decides to channel her inner-Melinda Doolittle, rocking an ironed-out bob that was very DooLittle-esque. But then Ryan feels the need to pull her adorable kids and family into the spotlight, just so, maybe, um, we can pull in some votes for this pre-ordained contestant? (Sabotage smells filling my nose again . . )

Let Down #6: Scott MacIntyre does well. Ah, now now. I know that's kind of mean. Just when I was ready to count my little Scottie-boy out, he comes out with a new do, and sings a stripped down Billy Joel. And then with his adorable, endearing little awkward hand wave he always gives to the audience . . oh shucks, Scott. You can stick around another week. I'll replace you with Corkrey. (Oh no, awful face of mine returning as soon as I typed that name . . sorry, still a little steamed.)

Anoopie sang um, well he went first, oh yeah, he channeled his inner-Usher. Nothing great. Nothing awful. Noop was neither a let down or an upper. So that's all I gots to say about Anoopie. Well, he does work as a nice transition from the lows to the highs, I suppose. So thanks for serving a purpose, Noop Dog.

 
Upper #1: Kris Allen ends the show with an altered version of "Ain't No Sunshine." My oh my, Kris. Looking quite sexy tonight. Stubbled chin, Tight (Simon) V-Neck T-shirt, Dog Tags, and is that a spray tan I'm sensing? (Guess the DWTS make-up team snuck over and got a hold of our little puppy dog.) Well it all worked for ya tonight, Kris. The song. The arrangement. Now let's just not show wifey in the crowd to mess up all your hard work. (Wait, she might be still gazing after Matt G.'s Unplugged performance . . did anyone else catch that?)

Best of the Night: Surprise Surprise. Can we just call this the Adam Lambert show please?

As Paula so succinctly said, 'True genius does not fulfill expectations. True genius shatters it.' Adam sang "Play That Funky Music," Adam-style, of course, and for the first time, got me to actually believe Simon genuinely meant it when he said "good for you" to the classic contestant statement of 'I had fun.' Adam, genius indeed.

So what did you all think of tonight? Who are you buying as an artist? Was it a let down for you as much as it was for me? And how about that Kara? Just what is her deal with numbers? Studio 57?! Glad Simon could so quickly clear that one up for her when he mouthed to her, Kara, 54. 54. Oh yeah, and I was about to go out on a limb and mark Lil' for elimination. But Corkrey had to stick her obnoxious manic head out at the end, pointing her fingers everywhere, mouthing 'Vote' 'Vote' 'Vote'. Um . . pass. Thank you.

Quote of the Week

David Spade on Ellen: "The funny thing is, I got this hat like a year ago, and the problem with a hat, if you don't wear hats, it's just hard to work it in if you're not a hat guy. So I wear it, and the second I leave my house, everyone's like, 'What's with that stupid hat, dude?" . . . So, unless you're the hat person, like if you're on American Idol and you come out with a hat on your audition, then it's cool, for like the rest of your time. But then in the middle, you're like, 'Why does Danny Gorkey have a hat on?', you know. It's hard."

Um, Matt? Are we taking notes?

Thanks, David for that most excellent sound bite.

Idol Tonight! It's a Mystery.

Well for some reason, they are not giving me what the theme for tonight's Idol is! It's an evil plot I tell you! How am I to make my spot-on predictions?

There is speculation, however, that it might be something in the genre of "I-Tunes Top 100," so if that's the case, we will be treated to some 'current' stuff. Well Megan Joy should be happy. After all, she is the 'current' artist.

Again, whatever Megan decides to pick, after last week's fast-paced, manic fiasco, I hope to see her do something slow and acoustic [see post 'My Hope For Megan Joy']. Yes, if it's current music, Megan should channel that inner-Fiona.

I would also like to see Danny get a little more serious. Last week's dancing jig with the back-up singers needs not happen again.

Lil' needs to do something to stand out, otherwise, I'm going to start clumping her with Scott MacIntyre. Not vocally, of course, but in the fact that they both have done nothing really to make me want to get on that horn and use my precious finger dialing energy on them.

So IDOL-ADDICTS, if it is I-Tunes, Top 100 downloads, what are your predictions? Or hopes for tonight? Maybe to not see the judges trying to make it all about them by drawing mustaches on each other instead of giving praise to deserving contestants like Allison? One of my hopes is that Anoopie wipes off his upper lip . . it always seems to glisten with the tiniest of sweat beads . . . no?

DWTS: Tens, Lyndys, Tangos and More!

So let me first start out by asking, "Since when did the word 'Argentine' become a word that rhymes with 'Valentine'?" Really? This is bringing me back to the sexual hair-es-ment days.

Pronunciation aside, I would like to make a few comments on last night's Dancing With The Stars because there were certainly some moments that I think were, well, commentable(?). (Hey, if we can play with words, I'm just going to go ahead and make some up!)

It was a night of the Lyndy-Hop (still trying to wrap my head around this one) and as mentioned, the Argentine Tango.

Lil' Kim scores the first 10 of the season, and I think it was well-deserved. Her teary eyes that developed as a result of her nailing the intricate fancy footwork, proved that she really is one who is dedicated and really is one who is taking the competition seriously. She definitely showed a vulnerability, which was kind of sweet to watch, given the fact that this was once the same person who has served time in prison!

While Lil' Kim may have taken a snippet of my heart last night, it doesn't change the fact that the rest of my love lies with Steve-O. Talk about someone who wears every single emotion on his face -- how can you not just want to squeeze this guy to try and make him all better? And if I am any Patti Stanger (the Millionaire Matchmaker who specializes in body language), I think we may just have a little match made in ballroom heaven on our hands. Partner, Lacey Schwimmer seems to have really taken a liking to this former clown (and I'm not speaking figuratively; yes, in last night's episode, we learned that the Jackass star really was a clown in some past life). Now if she can support that and calls him 'babe' in every post interview, I think we might have something more here than just regular ol' dance partners.

Melissa Rycroft did the Lyndy-Hop, scored a whopping 29, proving that she is as consistent as the sequins that cover her lower back tattoo.

But if you thought a 29 would be the highest score we would see all night, especially given this is only the 4th week, you would be wrong! The 'red hot poker', Gilles was still to come! Boy, did he and Cheryl deliver! Their Argentine Tango took me on a whirlwind of feelings. It was slow. It was fast. It was soft. It was hard. Yowza. I'm getting a little overheated just thinking about it. Should the long dark hair beauty in the front row whom the cameras always seem to pan up on when the hotness of Gilles and Cheryl is discussed be concerned? Man, Cheryl must be counting her lucky stars she landed Mr. Sex and the City rather than say, um . . the Steve "I could win every wet t-shirt contest along the Spring Break strip given the size of my sweat stains" Wozniak. Ah, poor Karina.

So that's it for now my Dancing-Fools . Who do you think will be eliminated tonight? Hopefully it's the Woz, but it seems as if we may have a dorks unite brigade on our hands. What about Holly? Man, that girl makes me feel strange. Those nervous little laughs she does every five seconds are a little daunting . . too much time locked in mansion, 9:00 curfews, under the lock and key of 80-year-old man, must be a hard mindset to break free from. And do you think they were fair to Shawn? Come on, we were treated to tricks and flips from an Olympian gold medalist and all that they could say was, it was 'good'!?

Audrina's Star on the Rise?

So this is interesting. Apparently, Audrina Patridge is set to have her own spin-off series. First Whitney, now the Dreen-Ster? The series will follow her work and family life, something that promises to be much "edgier" than The Hills (Audrina's words quoted from Us Weekly - not mine).

Well now let's think about this guys. She does "work" at a record label. And she does "date" bad boy Justin Bobby. And she does don some leathers occasionally. So yes, her show should be much edgier . .
Looks like this MTV alum will be shopped around to various networks, but it will be produced by Survivor mastermind Mark Burnett, so it may just have something to it.

I for one will be tuning in so I can see more of the girl who has nailed the blank stare and the girl who doesn't quite know how to commentate on world affairs.
Definitely my cup of tea!

Will you all be tuning in or tuning out (much like Audrina does herself)?

Dennis - You're Fired!

Wow! How about that Celebrity Apprentice last night? Dennis Rodman was sent packing, as I predicted, but I feel like I can't even use my fabulous humor and wit to make fun of this fact.

Yes indeed, the whole episode left me feeling a bit somber. In the words of Jesse James (a man I didn't even know before but who is now becoming my favorite contestant), the entire situation of Dennis went from being funny to sad.

One vodka cranberry . . funny. Oh wait, I forgot he ordered two at the same time from room service when he first started boozing. Three vodka cranberries . . okay, he's a big guy, a little cape cod (oh sorry, he doesn't take lime) isn't going to affect him. But then he's in the van, vodka cran in hand, gibbering nonsense about Ferraris. Okay, starting to feel a little uncomfortable with his abrasiveness. Then we find Dennis in the lobby, 'talking' to guests about strip clubs, hitting on sisters and oh my, really? Yes he did just ride shotgun to accompany two guests to Tao! Now that's either some stellar customer service or absolute lunacy! (I'm going to go with the latter.)

You know, some of these antics might be expected of the former NBA star, but when it came to the cookie situation, I went from being on the fence of comfort, to falling completely on my face, landing on the side of absolute uneasy queasy awkwardness! "You want some cookies?!!" "Here, you go. Cookies out the ass!" Oo oo, I want cookies, Mr. Rodman. But, um, weren't they supposed to come on a platter with cheese and caviar?

Okay, okay, my one little joke aside, I did have a hard time watching cookie-gate. It wasn't until the boardroom, that it all became very real and abundantly clear that we were dealing with an alcoholic on our hands. And Joan hit the nail on the head when she commented on how sad it was to hear Dennis defending his old sports career.

Yes, Dennis was fired, and I can only hope that when he actually watches himself back on these episodes, he might get the help he needs.

What were your thoughts on this dramatic episode? Did it leave you unnerved a bit? If you want to keep it light, though, feel free to comment on the 'dudes' in Room 702 or the one-liners of Jesse James or even speculate on just where in the world was Ms. Khloe Kardashian during the first day of the challenge? Hmmmm . .

Celebrity Apprentice Tonight!

Celebrity Apprentice is on for 2 hours tonight! The teams will have to provide top-notch service to guests at a ritzy hotel. This should be entertaining, especially when you have Dennis Rodman as PM, getting drunk off of vodka cranberries again and yelling incoherently at teammate Brian McKnight.

Hmmm . . sounds like it might be the end of the road for ol' Dennis.

Help?

Hello Everyone.

My name is Elizabeth, and I am an Adam-a-holic.

Yes, my friends, I realized the extent of my addiction this morning. It all started out with some innocent Spring cleaning on a lazy Saturday afternoon, and I thought it would be a nice idea to clean out my DVR since I was at about 98%. So I found myself going back to my old Idol recordings and came upon a simple little Adam Lambert "Satisfaction." Ooo, yummy, I thought to myself. I forgot how good that was. Well, can't delete that one. Keep it in there just a little bit longer in case I need to go back to it.

Moving on. Oh, lookie there. It's Adam, in a quite sexy blue leather jacket with a matching blue hair streak, singing "Black or White." Ah yes, this is the performance where all the judges gave him praise. Oh, I just love the part where he sings the line "And I told them about equality." Yes, that was good. Need to rewind and watch again. (Elizabeth, I say . . you might be becoming a little obsessed.) Ignore that little demon voice for now. And yes, it would be silly to delete this one (just in case, you know, research).

And then I suddenly recalled a dream I had last night. Oh, my. I did in fact have a dream about Adam Lambert! Now I am a woman in her later 20's mind you. I should not be having a dream about a young man who is probably in his early 20's (and who is probably not even batting for my team). But alas, I did. It was just a kiss, and then he was out of my life. Oh, shoot! That will probably be the closest I will ever get to him, I seriously think to myself.

It was at this point, I found myself recalling the days when I was just a little tyke, in love with Donnie Wahlberg from New Kids on the Block. Yes. I wrote Donnie a letter when I was about 10 years old, thinking there was a 100% chance my Donnie would find it, read it, and we would be one. I remember kissing this letter, circling where I had kissed it, and asking Donnie to do the same. Now I probably shouldn't be confessing all this to you, but I do it for a reason.

And the reason is this.

I need help guys. An intervention if you will. My thoughts have been invaded by Adam Lambert and I must stop. I must stop. I must stop. I must stop. This stuff might have been cute in my tens (heck I can't even say something like 20's because I was that young! I didn't mean to say teens, I actually meant 10's!), but it can't possibly be cute or even right for that matter in my 20's! And I want to make sure I point out, again, later 20's. If you don't do it for me, do it for yourself. So that I may write unbiased recaps for you. Oh, wait. Lookie there, The Graduate is occupying my DVR as well. Oh, we can definitely delete that. It's a whole movie and who needs to watch that again?

Thanks, guys.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Lambert
I mean
Elizabeth M. Lambert
Ms. Elizabeth M.-Lambert
Liz Lambert (ah, Liz Lambert. Now that has a nice ring to it, don't ya think?)

Ryan's Very Real World

Well, for those of you who have been watching The Real World: Brooklyn, you are well aware that Ryan Conklin recently got the dreaded phone call, informing him that he is being called back to Iraq. I was curious about whether this is still indeed true, and in my quest for knowledge, I came across an interview he did with PopWrap.

Let me start out by saying, Ryan is in fact scheduled to be shipped off April 15th. Holy Smokes! That is less than a month away! Here are a few interesting tidbits from the interview:

PW: How do you feel about going back now that your date to ship out is nearing?

Ryan: It was tough to come to terms with at first. Everything happens for a reason. I've dealt with it and there's no way out of it now. I could if I truly want to, but I still have some pride in me. All of the men in the IRR (Individual Ready Reserve) who are called up still have some pride in what we did and are willing to do it again. I have another fight in me, I'll do it again. This deployment will be what I put into it so I'm going to give it my all.

PW: Do you know where you'll be stationed this time?

Ryan: The destination is Iraq. Not sure of what my mission will be entirely but I'll be doing my old job. Infantry. Come what may. I'm an Active Duty IRR soldier attached to the North Carolina National Guard. It's a far different unit than I served with last time so I'm very optimistic, cautious, and ready.

PW: Tonight's episode sees you guys celebrating Obama's victory, what do you think about his troop withdrawal plan?

Ryan: I'm so stoked that Obama has initiated a date for troop withdrawal from Iraq. It's about time. I'll be over there close to the date but I don't think I would like to extend to be a part of the last troops there. Then again, I love to be a part of history so who knows?

PW: What message would you like to send America as you head back into the fray?

Ryan: I would like people who send me messages to stop calling me a hero. People these days use that term way too loosely. I'm not a hero, but I know a lot of them.

I don't know, Ryan. In my book, you are. God bless.

Over Joyed . . Over Loved . . Over Sarver!

Ah, what a results night! It was big . . huge . . it was as big as well, that thing on Matt G.'s forehead. Holy canoli, did that thing grow since last night!? Aw well, no time for that when you got a Sarver Si-a-nor-a and a Stevie Salute!

Yeppers indeed, it was a good night. We had Sarver, Scott and Matt G. in the bottom three.

And I couldn't have been more pleased. More pleased you say? You might be thinking it should have been Corkrey over Matt? Oh no, I say. We needed to make Matt G. sweat a little. He still has an air about him I'm not feeling. I saw that fedora creep back in the Ford commercial. Yes, Mattie-boy needed to sweat. He needed to sweat as much as good ol' Ruebey-Tuesday. (How shiny was that head?!)

While Matt is looking annoyed and Sarver is looking satisfied because he was expecting this apparently, Fox is nice enough to treat us to a mini Stevie Wonder concert! Now nothing beats Stevie, but I did love watching the Idols' humorous reactions, Simon's obsession over Paula's dancing (um, is it just me or did it seem like he would rather watch her get down than focus his eyes on the legend of Mr. Wonder?), and what was up with Corkrey and Allison? Did they seem drunk to you? Supporting each other up, laughing at awkward moments and doing some weird little dance moves? Well that is to be expected of the Cork-ster, but Allison? I think she was just hyped for Stevie, as was I, so it's okay Alley.

Alas, Matt was able to stop feeling like the loser in gym class that nobody wants to pick and could move his little kiester from the dreaded silver chair on over to safe couch land. Shock and surprise, it's Sarver who would be eliminated. Oh wait now, that is premature of me. There is still the "Judge's Save." Ha! Did we really need to use the last three minutes to pretend like there was a slim chance in hell this card was going to be used on Sarver?

Ah hell, I'll go along with it; I'm still high from Stevie. I'll get up and do a jig with Paula. (Wait, isn't she supposed to be "deliberating"?) C'est la vie. Celebrate good times, baby!

What did you all think? Or do I even need to ask? (And let me just say that it pains me to have two huge photos of Sarver in back-to-back posts.)

My Letter To Michael Sarver

Dear Michael:

It has been about a month now since you have entered my world. And I'm going to request this to you and to the voting public of America . . Please. The jig is up. I've had all I can take. Now won't ya please just scoot that boot on out of my Idol world? You're not a bad guy. I just think you're time is up. Last night, you argued with the judges a bit instead of taking that constructive criticism like a man. And I do believe you have done this in the past, justifying your "Ain't Goin' Down Til' the Sun Comes Up" with a retort that went something like "Well, the country folks got it." Well guess what Mikey-Boy. I ain't country. And I don't appreciate sass. And I don't appreciate Alexis Grace not being on the Idol Top 10 Tour because you hogged up her slot.

Now just do us all a little favor, and go back to your oil rig . . it misses you.

With love,

Elizabeth

Idol Gets Down In the Mo-Town

I am just going to start with the Low Light of the Night to get this over with: Megan Joy dressed as a Chiquita banana girl (still looking very pretty in her sparkly turquoise eyeliner however), but completely butchering Stevie's "For Once in My Life" and my fragile heart in the process. It was absolutely painful!! And did anyone else think it ironic when Simon said she should fire whoever is advising her . . . correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that be a direct insult to ol' Smokey? I would just like to say again, boy that was tough to watch. I mean, I literally found myself turning my head to the side, not able to look! I was embarrassed for her . . even her mom had that "oh no" look in her eye.

My Predictions Coming True: Again, Anoopie is reading up on my blog! As I suggested, he sang Smokey! ("Baby Baby", although if he was smart, he would have taken all of my advice and sang the song I suggested, but we'll save that for my High Light of the Night). I do agree with Simon, because at one point there in the beginning, Noop did seem like he might become narcoleptic and fall asleep right then and there on the stage. Little nervous though about Randy's advice to him about hyping it up next week. (Can't get chest pumping, my prerogative bangs out of head).

And holy crap!! I have to pat myself on the back because not only did Simon talk to Lil about the "moment" like I have been referring to, but he also mentioned that she should have sung "I Heard it Through the Grapevine"! Please see post below, thank you very much. Now only if she would read my blog like Anoopie. Okay, done gloating now. Lil brought some hotness to the "Heat Wave", but I don't know . . she's still not doing it for me. And I think she might also be getting on my nerves a bit because well, she talks exactly like, and I mean exactly like, Dawn from Making the Band (which is a no-no in my harsh little critical world).

Okay. I just can't hold it in any more! The High Light of the Night: Adam with some "Tracks of My Tears". This just makes me like Adam even more. Switched it up. Slowed it down, commanding back any fans he may have lost from the "Ring of Fire" performance and picking one of my favorite songs. Smart boy, Adam. Smart boy! And a standing "O" from the Smokster!!! Sweet. He is a star! He is it! (But Kara might want to look into some arithmetic lessons, "One of the best performances of the night" equals eight words - not six). [Footnote: Adam used the trick that all Idols need to use at least once for their "moments". The formula is this: slow song, dimmed lights, unplugged, and one or two guys off to the side picking an instrument. This is the exact formula I suggested for Megan Joy a couple posts below. It has been tried and true and I just don't get why these poor little Idols don't see that! I'm glad Adam is the smart one of the bunch. It's all about smart choices (David Cook, anyone?)]

The I'm Sick To My Stomach Moment of the Night: Danny Gokey not heeding the Smokster's advice!! For shame, Danny. For shame. He even admitted Smokey has been in the business longer than him! He even said he would sing the "you're out of sight" lines! But then lo and behold, as soon as I heard the back up singers singing those lines, my eyes bugged out! Just who does he think he is!?!?!?!

Can We Just Get It Over With Already? Aw, poor Scott MacIntyre in his salmon colored pants with "Can't Hurry Love." It just kind of stayed on a level field for me . . if we can't hurry love, can we hurry the performance along please? And he probably became even more confused when Ryan told him that Paula pulled out "crowns" and a coloring book for Simon. And really people, how many you-know-what-references are we going to have this season? First with Del Toro and Ryan and now with Simon and Paula. Geesh.
And while I'm at the so over it part of my blog, I come to my favorite, Michael Sarver. Sigh. I admit that I was a little nervous because I thought he turned in a better performance than what the judges so harshly beat him up on. But still, Mikey-Boy, you ain't no Carrie Underwood, so you might want to stop working those microphone hand gestures like her and the holding audience members' hands bit, okay? And i think that is only the 817th time we have heard Kara ask, "who are you as an artist?" That's what we wanna see.

Pimp Slot: So happy to see Allison get the last spot of the night. I think the judges/producers sensed my worry and realized we need to do something about America's mistake! She rocked it out, no shocker there. I just really wish they would give her back her long hair.

Giraud sang "Let's Get it On". Not bad, but i was really hoping for "Superstition"! Kris sang "How Sweet It Is". The girls and Smokey swooned, as Kris came into his own, looking mighty comfortable on that stage. He handled Simon's conceit comment very well giving us that Kris charm, but I'm kinda bothered when I have to look at little wifey in the audience . . show me some more of that other family member of his. The overzealous one in the argyle sweater . . I liked him!

So what did you all think of Motown week? Was it ooooo, baby baby? Or will you be developing some new tracks on your face?

Finding An Idol Moment

Aw, and here to the right we have Katherine McPhee singing "Over the Rainbow." (Simon picked this song for her, and it was definitely her standout moment.) You know, they hinted to Simon picking songs for the contestants during the first round performances this season, and I think they should look into that a little more. "Over the Rainbow" did become a signature song for Ms. McPhee after all. Enjoy.

It's Motown Tonight, Baby!

Oh yeah! Tonight should be a good night! This week is a total 180 for me from country music week. I mean, how can you go wrong with a little Stevie and Marvin?

I am just so excited I cannot contain myself! I had to look at my roster of popular Motown songs so that I could make a few guesses on tonight's song choices (or what I think they should do).

Now, there is also the modern motown like Boyz II Men, so we may be thrown for some loops, but here goes anyways:

• "Superstition" - Matt Giraud (oh yeah, rock it out on that piano!);


• maybe a little "Signed Sealed Delivered" for Danny Gokey (he's gotta do a Stevie jam, right?);


• I'm going to pair Smokey Robinson to Anoopie . . perhaps "The Tracks of My Tears"?;


• Boy, I would love to see Adam do "Hello," but that song might be "untouchable" (in the words of Kara) ever since Cook got his hands on it. Adam always surprises me, so I'm not going to even try and guess what he's going to do; and
  
  
• Lil' should finally step it up tonight, maybe with "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" or if she really wants to jam it out, let's give her "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."
  

The rest, too tough to call. Can you tell I like the Motown genre? Oooooo, can't wait!!

Any predicitions?

Bad Girls Club: Put A Fork In It . . She's Done

Well the Bad Girls finale aired last night. Ho hum. Ho hum. I have been following this season and will now comment on it now that she has been laid to rest. The girls found themselves back at the mansion after their whirlwind va-cay in Cancun, a trip that sent two roomies, Boston and Ailea (aka, "the follower") packing early. And for the most part, the girls seemed to get along despite the battle lines that have been drawn between the "Ambers" and the "Fab Four/Five" all season. And well, that about sums up the season . . kinda boring. Hell, I'm fighting to stay awake even writing this recap.

I guess my question is, "Where the hell did all the bad girls go?!" This is the Bad Girls Club, right? So could somebody please tell me how Amber B., Amber M., not sure which one she is . . the one with the fried out hair and tanorexic skin, got on this show in the first place? Indeed, this season has been very tame, (or rather, as the Rock of Love girls like to say . . Lame!). What happened to the good ol' days of Ripsi "I get kicked out within the first two episodes because I was constantly wasted and attacked my roomate" Ripsi? Or how about "I like to pee on couches and do strange things to my roomate's juice" Jennavecia?

To sum it up, I guess what I'm saying is, this season can just Pop Off!

My Hope For Megan Joy

It's probably pretty obvious by now that I have a small obsession with American Idol. What you might not know though is that I also have a small obsession with Fiona Apple. So I am going to combine these two worlds and suggest that Megan Joy, Megan Corkrey, Megan Joy Corkrey . . oh whatever the hell she is going by these days . . I'm just going to call her Megan Apple. I'm going to call her this because this is the artist I see Megan becoming.

A lot of hype surrounds Adam Lambert (and for good reason!) and even still Danny (my steam might be dying a little) Gokey, but I feel Megan is a bit under appreciated. Megan is unique and already has that appeal that goes along with stand-out artists. From her whimsical colored tattoos that cover most of her right arm, to her interesting twists on words (like "night" in mid-night), to her weird little dance moves . . these defining "trademark" characteristics make her someone I am interested in, and, therefore, someone I would like to see go far in the Idol competition.

So, Megan, I suggest to you to keep doin' what you're doin' girl. Except, perhaps, I would like to see you do something a little bit more acoustical (if that is a word), lights dimmed, and one guy standing off to the side picking an instrument for minor accompaniment. You may not have the strongest voice, but your unique identity is what makes you special.

Mo-Town is this week and I'm not sure about this for her, but when the opportunity comes up, I would like to see Megan channel her inner-Fiona and do something like "Extraordinary Machine." (link posted below). Indeed, you will see the comparisons, right down to the funny little hand gestures.

Patti Stanger Rocks My World

Okay, so this is my first post on Millionaire Matchmaker. I am definitely a fan of the show, but have not felt the urge to write about it until now. Um, hello?! Did anyone catch last night's episode, "Shauna and Dave"? It was probably my favorite one yet! Ms. Cupid herself, Patti Stanger is freakin' hilarious! I can't tell you how many times she must have called her second millionairess customer ever ('too much botox' Shauna) a "Total Bee-Yotch!" in last night's episode, but I couldn't stop laughing out loud.

Patti is a woman who tells it like it is, and is spot on. I believe we all should take a few cues from this cu-pid (ha!). If you aren't currently already watching this show, please tune in to Bravo and check it out.

In the meantime, I will leave you with Patti's Top 10 Dating Commandments:

1. Thou shalt return calls promptly.

2. Thou shalt honor thy dating commitments.

3. Thou shalt let the man take the lead and shalt avoid bringing personal baggage to the table.

4. Thou shalt not, under any circumstances, speak of any other romantic relationships.

5. Thou shalt be engaging.

6. Thou shalt not drink too much on the first date.

7. Thou shalt not be a gold digger.

8. Thou shalt act like a lady.

9. Thou shalt (if interested) express some interest.

10. Thou shalt not become intimate on the first date.

Here is a clip of Patti talking about the "Dorian Gray Syndrome" and where she comes face to face with "Superficialist" Shauna. Enjoy!

Jay Who?

Well as fast as Jay Lyon could say "Tamarama", his ex-girlfriend, Whitney Port, has found herself already in the arms of another man . . . Lipstick Jungle's Robert Buckley, reports celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton (http://www.perezhilton.com/). His report indicates, "Witnesses tell Ok! that the couple was awfully affectionate toward each other at Havaianas Spring Break event at the Shore Club in Miami."

This news makes me happy for three reasons: 1) It means that the break-up we saw in the finale was probably not scripted and actually did happen!, 2) Jay really started getting on my nerves there towards the last couple of episodes. He seemed very smarmy, if you will; and 3) Holy Crap! I don't watch Lipstick Jungle, but I did see the Lifetime movie, Flirting With Forty, and Robert Buckley is the hottie surfer who stole Heather Locklear's heart in it! You go Whit!!

What do you all think of Whit's new rebound guy?

Dear Project Runway: I Miss You

In case you Project Runway fans have been wondering why we have not seen our beloved Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn in the 6th installment of the show that has brought us Santino Rice and Christian Soriano, I give you a post.

This show has been in a legal limbo for quite some time now (since last Spring!). Producer Harvey Weinstein tried to move this Bravo series to Lifetime, a move the owner of Bravo (NBC Universal) didn't like. Weinstein sued back and then Lifetime decided to sue everyone for s**ts and giggles. Well while everyone is sue happy, Klum, Season 6 designers and the viewing public are enraged.

All episodes of this missing series have been shot in Los Angeles and recorded. And as most of you probably know, New York's Fashion Week went off in late February (unlike Runway) on schedule. The three Season 6 finalists did show their collections . . . whether we will be finding out who these anonymous designers are is yet to be seen. Now I've gotta wonder, when and if we ever do see the lost installment, will the fashions still be (as every AI judge likes to say) "current"?

Well as Heidi says, "in fashion, you're either in or you're out." Oh, I hope this beloved show of mine is not out. I am not ready to say Auf Wiedersehen to it any time soon.

Please, Mr. Weinstein. End this legal mumbo jumbo and just give me my Runway back!!

With love,

Elizabeth

Even The Grace Above Not Enough To Save Alexis

Tis' a sad day, my friends. Alexis Grace was the 11th ousted contestant from American Idol last night, allowing Michael Sarver a slot in the Top 10 Idol Tour. Sigh.

I admit I was not really feeling her "Jolene" performance, but, come on, what else did this girl have to do in order to advance? Her range is superior to the likes of Scott MacIntyre, but I guess America cares more about a sympathy vote perhaps than vocals. And let me just say that Kelly Clarkson soared to the #1 spot on the charts this week . . . proving that ultimately, what we do want is someone with talent. Weren't the judges just comparing Alexis to Kelly after the petite little white girl busted out a soulful rendition of "Never Loved a Man"? Hmmm. Come on America, let's get it right. While I certainly was never Ms. Grace's number one supporter, I certainly think she did not deserve to go home.

And don't make me even talk about Allison being in the bottom three. I am still crying under my covers, afraid to come out.

Hey - What About Me?

I knew there was someone I was missing in my recap!! Mr. Completely and Utterly Forgettable. And for that reason alone, I think the choice is obvious tonight . . . Sarver is going to get lassoed up and taken on back to the oil rig!

I wonder how they will stretch this one out for an hour to make it seem like a surprise . . .

American Idol: Under-Dawgs Got Some Bite!

Forgive me . . I have been a bit idle on my Idol update! Someone had one too many green beers last night. But Spring is in the air and as Seacrest said, "We Have a Competition on Our Hands!" Despite my reservations about country music week, I have to say, the underdogs came out swingin' and it was a thoroughly enjoyable night to watch!

High Light of the Night: Matt Giraud!! He nailed it! His simple black and white suit, his mad piano skills (I still can't understand how he's never had a piano lesson in his life!) and his choice of song, Underwood's "So Small." He was in the coveted last spot of the night for good reason, my friends. Seeming to be on the verge of tears towards the end, Matt delivered an extremely heartfelt performance, bringing me back to the pre-fedora and scarf days. Well done, Matt.

My Predictions and Hopes Come True: Well Alexis sang Dolly like I guessed she might have ("Jolene") and although she did not wear jeans like Ms. Allison did, I was glad to see her in something else besides tights and minis. And I guess ol' Anoopie must have read my blog yesterday and decided to take my advice because he finally showcased the vocals that have been hiding since his audition, giving us a moving rendition of "Always on My Mind." Now if we can just find that missing wax for those brows . . . Ah well, we can't all be perfect little puppy dogs like Kris Allen.

The Oh My Lord Moment: For the love. Can somebody please tell me why and how the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man left Ghostbuster World and found himself onto Danny Gokey's body? What was that thing?! I was more appalled than Randy Travis was of Adam Lambert's finger nails. And yes, Danny also matched the specs last night. So I have to do it . . . . "Deeeeva!!" Danny sang "Jesus Take the Wheel" and gave us the old stand-by rasp we all know and love, which I am not complaining about people. I remember that I wrote him a public letter of apology so let's not get all fussied up. Danny just didn't do anything really different . . . unlike, holy canoli . . .

Adam Lambert!: Now had I thought more about Opry members, I would have predicted Adam singing a Johnny Cash number. But man oh man, my predictions would have ended there. Who knew there was a sitar-version of "Ring of Fire"? Adam's performance made me feel a bit naughty. . . you saw the way he worked that microphone pole. So although I wasn't as confused as Kara after it ended, I did find myself smoking a cigarette with my hair all disheveled. (Joke people.)

Kris and Allison gave solid performances. And Influenza B or not, Corkrey looked gorgeous.

(Scott MacIntyre and Little also performed. Ah, Little. Now that's almost as good as Anoopie.)

So what did you all think of last night? Who do you think will get the ol' cowboy boot? And should Danny be sweatin' in his stay puff because Giraud is giving him a run for his money, or do you think the judge's puff is just fluff?

Finding Their Moments: Idol Turning Points

To the right, you will be seeing some old Idol video clips, which I will be posting every Tuesday as inspiration for our remaining 11 who still have yet to, as Simon likes to say, "have a moment" (well, with the exception of Allison, who I believe already had one with that rocking rendition of "Alone").
These will be clips of turning points, when the contestants stepped up their game, when they found their element, and, well, when, quite simply . . . they shined.
GooseBump Moment #1: I begin with Jason Castro's performance of "Hallelujah." Yeah, he runs out of steam a little on that last note, but that just made it all the better!

Idol On My Mind: Funny Things to Watch For Tonight

Just a few funny things I have noticed that I want you to look for tonight on Idol.

I'll begin with our new judge, Kara: Just how horny will she come off when talking about Danny's or Adam's performance? She is oozing and gushing all over herself when it comes to these guys. She is totally biased when it comes to gender. I know bikini girl was a little much, but Kara reeked of jealousy when it came to her! In fact, I think the Kara addition has given me some strange new found appreciation for Paula. I know . . . crazy!

Second, Kris Allen: Check out his mouth when he sings. His mouth goes off to the side. It is kinda weird, but he somehow manages to make it look good.

Anoopie: I am looking for whether or not he is going to get serious. Remember his audition? He actually took the singing seriously. I think he needs to stop with the whole "My Prerogative" vein and sing some kind of slow ballad.

Gokey: What color will his glasses be tonight? I hope they don't match his shirt again . . if they do, I'm going to have to scream, "Diva!" (channeling the original den mother from Making the Band . . Deevas!!!!) Dirty Alexis: I hope she isn't wearing tights and a mini dress again tonight . . . please Alexis, slow down the new look already! I would like to see her in jeans perhaps to shake it up.

Thoughts? Any funny observations you have noticed?

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Well guys, I'm still feeling sentimental on the old Making the Band days. I know. I know. Get over it. Break-ups are hard though sometimes guys. Here is a clip I found of Aubrey -- yes it looks like she is channeling X-Tina in her "Dirrty" days, but it is still before she got that awful plastic surgery. Here she is, proving that indeed . . . "she can sing!" Enjoy!

Idol Tonight! Yee Haw!

Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone! It's Idol and Green Beer Time!

Tonight on Idol, the remaining 11 will be singing songs in the theme of "Grand Ole Opry." Not my particular cup of tea, but it should be interesting. I think Megan's voice might be suited for it, but I can't see this working for Anoopie.

Since I am no expert on the country music genre, I had to do a little digging on who the Opry members are, so that I could try and figure out who might be singing what.

Popular members include Garth Brooks, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Reba, Randy Travis, oh, and I see an Idol alum, Ms. Carrie Underwood.

Hmmm . . . maybe pair Alexis to Dolly . . . and we could pair Adam to Garth . . . oh blarney stone, this is a hard one! Like I said, this is not my forte. So, I ask you, what songs would y'all like to see our Idols sing?

The City: These Heels Were Made For Walkin'!

So let me just get straight all the pearls of wisdom that have blossomed from The City - especially from tonight's finale. Whitney Port's mentors have left me feeling a little inspired:

Kelly Cutrone says "the truth hurts . . that it does not always come as a pretty little bluebird on someone's shoulder."
Diane Von Furstenburg says "Absence is to love what the wind is to fire. When it's a small fire, the wind kills it. But when it's a real fire, it intensifies it. So then absence should do that. . . The most important relationship you can have in your life, is the relationship you have with yourself; because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself."

Well Amen Ms. DVF!

Jay says the three little words Whit has probably been waiting to hear all season, but then she decides she ultimately wants to pursue the relationship with herself first. Hey. She pulled the look! She stood up to Olivia, to Jay and took a stand for herself. And I gotta say, it was great! She declares something everybody should keep in mind when getting into relationships . . don't lose yourself in the idea of us.

Wow - who knew I would get so deep from watching The City? Ah, but it makes me feel good about myself, and it made me feel inspired to see that little rat Jay get left in the dust while Whit was just flying past in those fabulous purple heels that would make even Prince proud!
bravo City . . bravo.

Uh O! No Mo Steve-O?

Jackass star Steve-O not performing on DWTS tonight. Rumors that he would still perform despite a back injury swirled about last week, but I had a feeling he would not be donning the sequins tonight.

Man, there really must be a DWTS curse. Already three injured and we are only into the second episode! Uh oh, Belinda scored a 6-6-6 . . hope she is not doomed. And how are we feeling Melissa's hair . . a little crazy, but I would still give her a rose (I mean, a 10!). Julianne is very cute (one of my favs), but even her beautiful blonde hair and perfect spray tan are not enough to distract me from that McDonald's looking french fry get-up she has on.

Oo oo oo, and let us not forget The City finale tonight! Jay says I love you to his "Wheet", but will she be saying good-ay mate to that sneaky little aussie? In the words of Alex, "The Truth Will Reveal Itself!"

Haven't I Seen Your Face Before?. . Oh, Why Must They Confuse Me?

In my fits of sleep last night, I happened to catch an episode of Made on MTV. I had to preempt this statement because let me make something clear . . . I-do-not-watch Made. However, I found it odd that Diem was the focus in this episode . . . you know, cancer survivor Diem from the Real World/Road Rules Challenges . . the one who took off the wig in that Rambo-esque moment when they had to swim through the mud, and she rocked her buzzed-cut au naturale look? Oh yeah, and the one who dates C.T. Anyways, she wanted to be made into a ballroom dancer or something like that . . . like I said, I was kind of sleepy.

I just found it weird that she was in Made. Just like I find it weird that Mike White is a contender on the Amazing Race. You know, Mike, as in the father and son team? Mike, the one who so shamelessly hit on the virgin bride in last night's episode? Well this reality show contestant is also the guy who has starred in the movie The School of Rock as Ned Schneebly. Oh yeah, he wrote it too. After a little imdb-wicki digging, I learn that he also wrote Nacho Libre, The Good Girl, Orange County (in which he also starred alongside Jack Black) and has been in some episodes of Freaks and Geeks and Dawson's Creek . . . not too schneebly.

Just a random post on some random thoughts. Does anyone else find this cross-over idea weird? I guess I just like to keep my reality show actors and real actors in their individual compartments and feel all funny inside when I see them where they shouldn't be . . .

My Public Apology To Danny Gokey

I have commented (like most) in the past about my mixed emotions on the personal story of Danny Gokey being highlighted on Idol. I am finding that maybe I was a little quick to take it out personally on Danny (in my own mind).

Below is a link to an article in which Danny comments on the backlash by some Idol viewers. I want to post this to somewhat apologize for the feelings I harbored. Danny, I hope we can still be friends. After all, you are mad sexy with that raspy voice and you can sing "Kiss From a Rose" to me any time baby.

Celebrity Apprentice Recap - The Women Do It Again!

Well as I predicted, the women seemed to have had the advantage in this wedding dress challenge and once again, proved victorious. Tom Green found himself in familiar hot seat territory, but couldn't escape the wrath of the Donald this time. (How classic was his reaction to the famous "you're fired" line?) Remind me again how Rodman did not also get eliminated? Cat allergies!? Dog allergies!? That almost makes as much sense as that crazy analogy he threw out early in the episode . . um, how did it go again? Oh yeah, I think it went something along the lines of, "have you ever seen the movie 'Ghost'? Well I am like Whoopi Goldberg in that movie - I get inside of women." WHAT?!

So then he gets drunk and finds himself the next morning with "allergies". Hmm, I wonder what savory "lady" he found himself ghostin' the night before? Green was a disappointment as PM . . walking around in his ever permanent state of a sleepy-eyed slumber. Is it just me, or do you want to shake him to snap him out of it? Regardless, I find him humorous and was sad to see him go, but I guess it ain't easy being green (come on, I had to do it). So what did you all think of last night's episode? Rodman? Green? or should it have been a double whammy as the rest of Team KOTU suggested?

So Not Fierce!

During auditions yesterday for the next cycle of America's Next Top Model, chaos broke out in the audition line in New York - three people were hurt and six were arrested!

Mixed reasons given for the chaos, with reports of the audition not being properly organized to reports of even a bomb threat. Whatever the cause, NY streets were left a clutter with shoes and articles of clothing!

Tyra has announced that this next cycle is restricted to those 5'7" and under. Man, shorties be crazy trying to get that piece of fame!

Celebrity Apprentice: Tomorrow's Episode . . It's Wedding Wars!

Just wanted to make sure you Celebrity Apprentice followers knew tomorrow's episode will be on at a different time: 10/9 c. The task involves selling wedding dresses. Hmmm, seems to be a task geared toward the women, don't ya think? Especially, when the guy's team has Dennis Rodman hitting the streets having a few drinks instead of focusing on the task.

Regardless, we will see Tom Green leading his men, doing whatever it takes (even perhaps trying on a gown . . . eat your heart out Rodman!) in his face off against Brande and the women. Green as PM in this task makes me kinda nervous, as I'm finding myself to be a fan of his, but I think he'll be alright. After all, he did just beat an Olympian (and we all know how the Donald favors Olympians). So who would you all like to see walk down the aisle, as in, back home?

The Hills: Over It Before It Has Begun?

Okay guys. The Hills Season 5 (aka, "Lauren's Last Season") airs Monday, April 6th at 10 p.m. I saw the trailer for it (posted below in case you haven't yet), and after watching it, I find myself asking "Am I already over it before it has begun?"

We are teased with Heidi having trust issues with Spencer (insert flirtatious bartender for past episodes' Playmates); we see Spencer picking a fight (um does Heidi's co-worker who so boldly commented on her choice of office attire ring a bell?), and, of course, we see Heidi longing for her friendship again with Lauren and Lauren questioning it (um, just about every Hills episode after "doomsday" -- aka when Heidi met Spencer).

I hope something spicier, other than a different location for Lauren's side braid and lipstick color (is that cranberry?) happens that they are not showing us, but who am I kidding? And I would be kidding myself if I didn't admit that, yes, for some unfathomable reason, I look forward to April 6th at 10 p.m. Where do you all stand - over it?

My Heart is Damaged

No, for the 10% of you who might care, Dawn and "Q" from MTV's Making the Band 4 did not break up. I do not want my title and picture to be misleading.

My own little tender heart is damaged - damaged from the MTB series. No longer are the days of Danity Kane. Sure, they have tried to tease us by showing us clips with all of the DK girls for the 4th series . . but the jig is up!

This fourth series has been nothing more than a bunch of whining, and I for one have had it! Each episode has become more and more of let's see how many ridiculous hats the boys of Day 26 can wear than any significant talent! And the leading "lone" (okay, Aundrea is there too) soldier of DK, Dawn, seems like the only word that comes out of her mouth is "hustlin".

Therefore, Making the Band, I am breaking up with you. My readers, this is why you will not see me post any blogs about this show - a show that used to be great, but now is nothing more than an old wrinkled up picture in my sock drawer (if you all cared about it anyways).

And for old times sake, I give you a link to click on if you wanna reminice about the days when MTB and I used to go on ice cream dates, our honeymoon period, when it was a shiny sparkly play thing in my eyes, when it was "move your body shake your body gettin naugh-tay naugh-tay" and when Aundrea was just a little muff and when I wanted hair and scarves just like Aubrey O'Day . . the days, my friends, when Making the Band was great!

The Duel 2 is Coming!

For those of you who can't get enough of those whiny MTV kids from Real World and Road Rules and that random time they recruited people off the street like Kenny and Evan (hey, I'm not complaining), then be sure to check out The Duel 2!

These people usually get on my nerves . . They thrive on these challenges for their jobs . . And probably all of them have hooked up with each other. Needless to say, . . . I can't freaking wait! It's going to be hard to top The Island though! I mean, how great was the underdog story of Ev? And how great was it to see Paula in the end, crying in the empty treasure chest by herself? Whether you like it or not, the usual suspects of C.T., Brad, Robin and woah, even Mark from RR 1 (this guy's gotta be pushing 40) are coming at ya April 8th!
