			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while, dusted the keyboard out, did some finger stretches&#8230;and now it&#8217;s time. The AI Blog is back baby! Took last year off cause of 2 reasons; 1. Idol sucked last year, leaving me without one compelling storyline, which will happen after Adam Lambert was in my living screaming in goth for 4 months in the Spring of &#8217;09. Seriously, what&#8217;s that Lee kid doing these days? Somewhere in Alabama, at Bo Bice&#8217;s lake side home, kicking it with Taylor Hicks and talking about &#8220;how it was&#8221;. Reason 2, Ms. Abdul was no longer quoteable. I tried watching her dance show on cbs&#8230;it was just weird.</p>
<p>When Supply meets demand, beautiful things happen and AI is about to get real. Que the tivo, check. High Definition this evening friends, brought to you byyy&#8230;the creepy Sprint CEO commericials. Hi&#8230;I&#8217;m Dan..I creep you out with the way I act on tv&#8230;isn&#8217;t that neat. Dolby 5.1, 5 channel stereo&#8230;check. Now, I know I&#8217;m a night late for the live version, so we&#8217;re doing a fast walk thru of the performances, then on to the elimination. Live Diary of a taped event&#8230;begins now!</p>
<p>Everything looks the same, same music intro and same butterflies, except I doubt anything specatcular happens. Judges are out and about..yes!! J-LO in HD is an interesting feat. Seacrest! Missed you bud! Somewhere Brian Dunkelman takes another drink to soothe the missed opportunity. Gwen Stefani this evening, no doubt! Yes, see what I did there!</p>
<p>British rock night, why not! Steven Tyler seems out of place on this show. I can never tell if he&#8217;s ever present in the moment. He&#8217;s probably having groupy flashbacks from the 70&#8242;s.</p>
<p>Up 1st, Jacob..in all white, like a marshmellow covered chocolate puff singing a little Michael Jackson, cause when I think rock&#8230;I think MJ?? What is going on? He&#8217;s got one move..feet in cement, doing the swim move with both hands. If Jacob put a female wig on, I&#8217;d start to be confused. He draws my attention though, trainwrecks are always funnier to watch. Great song, 1st is always tough to go though&#8230;better be memorable.</p>
<p>Steven Tyler (ST): Saida..Saida!! Saida&#8230;get that woman on stage! Saida!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Everytime you sing, you bring another piece of yourself to the party. Huh?</p>
<p>J-LO: &#8221; You make everybody know that if you belive in yourself, you can do anything in this world.&#8221; J-Lo&#8217;s motivational tour coming up next</p>
<p>Randy:&#8230;&#8221;Yo, i love that marvin song, that&#8217;s cool, I got to do me. Dude, Im so proud of you. That was hot!! Ah Yes, Simon&#8217;s gone, Ellen, Kara, Paula&#8230;the one who stuck around. The Journey bass player who says, &#8220;dude and dog&#8221;.</p>
<p>Over under on how many months it takes for Seacrest to be referred too as Mr. Hough!</p>
<p>Apparently last weeks&#8217; elimination was vicious? I should have watched! Singer 2, going to do Janis Joplin. Oh, the Black Eye Pea homey! I almost said Wyclef, but&#8230;I knew better. Like the onstage singers and guitarist on stage. Adds a bigger element to the show. Is that Janis Joplin? Or Haley Reinhart?? Stay away from eating Ham Sandwiches afterwards Haley!! Hey-o!!! She reminds me of a cruise singer, to quote SImon. Except while I was indulding in the all you can eat Seafood Buffet, I&#8217;d wonder why she was yelling at me. Ok, sure, nice, whatever. Guarantee all 3 judges say she should have a record album soon.</p>
<p>JLo-&#8221;Wow, okay..okay&#8230;wow, okay. They need to be careful with Haley! You keep going like that you&#8217;re going to be around for a minute, ya, a minute.&#8221;</p>
<p>Randy: &#8220;Dude, Haley! Dude! You hit the cool run at the end, i was like, cooohlookat her dog..&#8221;</p>
<p>ST: &#8220;Janis gave the voice of rock n roll, back in &#8217;68.&#8221; And we may or may not have hit the all you can sniff bar afterwards back then!</p>
<p>So an okay, performance and she&#8217;s gonna win the whole thing? Where&#8217;s Archuleta? Those were the days&#8230;</p>
<p>Always find myself staying tuned for the Good Mood Food Arby&#8217;s guy, kind of corky, but I watch. Singer 3, whose it gonna be, oh I&#8217;m so giddy to find out! Oh Casey with a beard. Wycleaf doesn&#8217;t think he&#8217;s singing a rumba, oh..wait..Will I Am, my bad. &#8220;I performed at the Super BOwl!! Listen to me!! I helped out Haiti!!- Will I AM, oh wait that was Wycleaf there at the end.</p>
<p>Casey only giving us 80% of his energy, he knows this is a marathon not a spring. Our 1st bass guitar accompaning a contestant. Piano Bar, gritty kind of performance. Great song choice though. On my sports online book, it had Casey as the favorite to win it all 4 weeks ago when I took a peak. Glad I didn&#8217;t lay that bet down, recreationally of course.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s memorable with the beard, but idk. 1st thought, please end quickly and show me the Good Mood Food commericial. But, I bet the judges will love him.</p>
<p>Randy: Yoo, yo yo..yooo&#8230;alright, so listen man. You defiintely did well justice to that song. You making upright bass cool man. It&#8217;s not just meant for polkas. This is revolutionary!&#8221;  (says the bass guy from Journey)</p>
<p>ST: &#8220;You should put some wheels on that thing and ride around town.&#8221; Loving the shark tooth necklace Steven!&#8221;<br />
JLo: Jenny getting all jenny on the block gangsta tonight, some extra sauce!</p>
<p>Now, Casey has to give 150% he tells Seacrest, and those instruments are worth 49%. I&#8217;m confused, where&#8217;s the angry Brit! I miss him. What is Lauren going to do tonight? Oh, do Aretha. Isn&#8217;t this rock week?? Now Wycleaf has the hater blockers on, giving advice. I collaborated with Britney!! Listen to me!!</p>
<p>&#8220;Natural Woman&#8221;, by Aretha. Like carols at christmas, you expect someone to do this song every year. Lauren, cleans up alot different than in her intro. Have a little wrist under those braclets girl! Like she got the shopping munchines at Forever 21 during a buy 1 get 2 free &#8220;Accessory Sale&#8221; or something. The braclet collage on both arms is distracting me from her singing. Or maybe her singing is distracting me..from..her singing! She&#8217;s in trouble I would say, except I bet the judges love her.</p>
<p>Appparently Christian Slater approves?</p>
<p>ST &#8220;Lauren, I love you. You are truel&#8221; ST had those Paula Eyes for Corey Clark thing going on just then! Careful Steve!!</p>
<p>JLO &#8220;that was very nice, I was like, okay, what is she going to do with this? she&#8217;s amazing, yes!&#8221;</p>
<p>Randy: &#8220;yo, yo..i mean, you probably picked one of the most difficult songs. Where I wasn&#8217;t jumping up and done, but you laid it out. Props to you on that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did that feel natural to you?&#8221; -Seacrest. No pun intended.</p>
<p>Oh wait, Christian has a new show on FOX that will get canceled in 5 weeks! I get it now! Cross Marketing!</p>
<p>Weird moment of the night.ST sleeping, Seacrest wakes him up, ST&#8221; how are the balls of your feet?&#8221; Seacrest looks confused. Onto, the Durbin kid. Wycleaf, still with the hater blocker look. And this profound quote,  &#8221;I respect the danger, everyone wearing blue, so I&#8217;ll wear purple&#8221;-Will I AM</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t this Durbin kid have terets? Ah yes, I remember him from the old Maury Povich shows, &#8220;Terets and You&#8221; episode. Turning that daytime performance into our #5 contest this evening. Mandatory to have a rocker type on AI every year. Thanks Bo Bice! During JD&#8217;s performance I just checked twitter and text. You take out the dry ice from this, and I&#8217;d say he&#8217;s in trouble. Oh, is that Adam Lambert!??? Wow!! If I closed my eyes right now, I&#8217;d think Adam had just hit the high note! Okay, better than I thought.</p>
<p>And he&#8217;s crying&#8230;nice touch. Ending saved that one.</p>
<p>JLO-&#8221;saying something about pain,vulnerable, sharing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Randy: &#8220;Yo, you know what I loved about that?&#8221; &#8220;I played with Steve Perry dog!!&#8221;</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t take Steven seriously right now. Rattleskin jacket, shark tooth necklace, squinting, trying to thing of &#8220;big&#8221; words to say. But I love ST anyway.</p>
<p>Durbin still weeping even with Seacrest. Sympathy vote!! As we come back from Commericial, JD still playing that sympathy card hard. He&#8217;s a gamer!</p>
<p>Four to go, just found out it&#8217;s only 90 minutes tonight. I had just enough VHS tape left over. You can&#8217;t record AI over the Sound of Music now! Wycleaf has the hater blockers off. It&#8217;s not going to be &#8220;Country Scotty&#8221; tonight. Oh no, rock n roll, Elvis Scotty. Still sounds like country to me. I assume he&#8217;s getting some of the young lady votes? I feel awkward as he prances around the stage. At times he gets almost hip hop in his gestures on us. Eminen doesn&#8217;t pimp all demin bud. Ok&#8230;he can leave at anytime and I&#8217;m good. Judges will probably come up and kiss him, like the groupies that just ambushed the stage! Really? Ya, that wasn&#8217;t staged.</p>
<p>Randy. &#8220;Scottie is in it to win yo! Dude, Scottie&#8217;s in it to win it&#8221;</p>
<p>ST: &#8220;I agree with Randy. I thought you were all hat and no cattle.&#8221; That was cool.</p>
<p>JLO-&#8221;You&#8217;re funny. Do you watch rap or hip hop? I feel a little flavor.</p>
<p>Scottie: It&#8217;s the Puerto Rican blood&#8230;ya..ya.&#8221;.a Country Puerto Rican singer? Julio Igelsias would not approve.</p>
<p>Second Christian Slater appearance of the evening. It&#8217;s always a good night when we get not 1, but 2 CS apperances.</p>
<p>Wycleaf 2.0&#8230;hater blockers back on. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to do Madonna singing Tina, cause it&#8217;s like, what, boo&#8221; I made out with Fergie!!! Listen to me!!</p>
<p>Okay, #7 is about to go. Hmm&#8230;now, we&#8217;ve got somebody who has game. What&#8217;s her name again? I heard Celine Dion do this on Oprah not to long ago, and no I&#8217;m not ashamed. It&#8217;s Pia! Ah yes, Pia Toscano!! Great song, great performance for her voice. I&#8217;ll remember this, not the all of a sudden I&#8217;m Puerto Rican country singer who watches T.I. videos occasionaly on You Tube. Pia! Catchy name, great vocals, stage present&#8230;I bet the judges love her!</p>
<p>ST: &#8220;Murderer!! You killed it! Pia! Theres a million guys out there, in a million bars, having a million drinks about you tonight&#8221;</p>
<p>JLO-&#8221;That was amazing. That was like, check, okay.&#8221;</p>
<p>Randy: &#8220;It&#8217;s not about proving me wrong. Pia&#8217;s in it to win it Ry-an!!</p>
<p>Pia! &#8220;Winner!! Right there, Pia got game! She&#8217;ll be singing the Anthem at the Major League Baseball Game on FOX come July!&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing, Bones on FOX is in syndication and Arrested Development couldn&#8217;t get a bigger number than the George Lopez Show 6 years ago. GOOD MOOD FOOD is on! Hey there Mr. Bank Robber, try the new Buffalo Chicken sandwich for a buck! It&#8217;s Good MOOD FOOD!!</p>
<p>Seacrest, is back live, although we all know that&#8217;s a lie. It&#8217;s tape delayed! Wycleaf and Stefano. Hater blockers back on. That&#8217;s 5 of 8 singers so far he&#8217;s decided to go Kayne on them. Now there off. Now he&#8217;s texting&#8230;.a man of many talents, that Will I AM.</p>
<p>My 1st look at Stefano, don&#8217;t like him. I get what he&#8217;s trying to do, go all Ace Young for the lady vote, but he&#8217;s kind of synthetic. SPeaking synthetic, if you watch ET at night, Nancy O&#8217;Dell, girl had some surgey done, unecessarily I might add. If it&#8217;s not broke, Nance..no need to fix it.</p>
<p>Oh, Stefano is still singing. Finishing better than it started, I&#8217;ll give him that.</p>
<p>JLO-&#8221;Baby..baby..babybabybaby.. I knew you had it in you!! I knew it! &#8220;</p>
<p>Randy: &#8220;Yo, I liked it too. The 1st part felt jerky to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>JLO-&#8221;You crazy! You&#8217;re a crazy person!!&#8221; Showing us how she rolls with Mark Anthony</p>
<p>ST: &#8220;Are we through?? I like the old timey. I like where you take it. Keep playing with that. I liked that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Seacrest, &#8220;you were back there punching air?&#8221; Ya, vote for THIS guy.</p>
<p>Mr. Hough just told me to not move, don&#8217;t go anywhere, that&#8217;d he&#8217;ll be right back. I feel obligated now.</p>
<p>Last singer of the night&#8230;the closer, the grand finale. Paul. Hello Paul. Like how Wycleaf and the other advisor curse at the contestants&#8230;so edgy this year.</p>
<p>To Paul, &#8220;Drink your spit man, don&#8217;t drink no water!&#8221;-Wycleaf</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re pros, they know what they&#8217;re talking about.&#8221;-Paul</p>
<p>Doing a little Johnny Cash never hurt nobody. But, for Paul, it&#8217;s severing his left leg right now. Song is too big, this rendition just didn&#8217;t need to happen. Paul does look like the brother of that trainer on Biggest Loser. &#8220;No carbs!!! NO Carbs!! YOu want to be fat for the rest of your life??! Put the chips down Rulon!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Judges will love him no, doubt, but Pia should have closed this show.</p>
<p>Randy: &#8220;Yo Paul baby..3 words..i &#8230;loved..it&#8221;..had that been Paula, or Kara, it would have been 4 words!</p>
<p>ST: &#8220;You rocked the house&#8221;</p>
<p>JLO-&#8221;Me too, right in your lane. Right there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Weird, the judges liked it. Enertaining, maybe. Memorable, no.</p>
<p>Overall, solid show, I&#8217;ll admit, I&#8217;m hooked. Not one person you think was terrible, just song selection separated some from the others.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Pia&#8217;s to lose, she could contend on most seasons. Results show next, but not before we get our Christian Slater fix. &#8220;Breaking In&#8221; just seems like a hit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night was the girls&#8230;tnite&#8230;we get watch los hombres which means the guys in english.  It&#8217;s your job to separate the men from the boys&#8230;lets go&#8230;thiiiiss iisss American&#8230;simon stop talking!!  huh??  No tie cut it short tnite??</p>
<p>Stunning High Definition..check&#8230;Surrond sound by the color purple?  Check&#8230;Buddy..check!  hey, it&#8217;s buddy!!  Tivo check!  Don&#8217;t be afraid to ride the lighting!  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I think the biggest thing is nerves..alot of people haven&#8217;t </p>
<p>No Tie, &#8220;you&#8217;ve been on this stage before in a bikini.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;are you saying they should get up in a set of bikinis.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you&#8217;ve got to go to a safe place and just let go..</p>
<p>think of laura engles&#8230;think of laura engles..&#8221; My deranged uncle used to say that&#8230;.not good. </p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;tnite, if you forget the lyrics, your career is over.&#8221; </p>
<p>Well then, what just happened?  </p>
<p>Alright, TBG&#8230;Token B&#8230;.Guy again..fill in the blank.  Oh oh, we gots a lil r&amp;b from Toderick, a Kelly Clarkson song that was never meant to be sung this way&#8230;I like the idea, but childplease.  The chrous was interesting, sparked an interest, but&#8230;having a hard time with this..</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;wow&#8230;kinda strange.&#8221;  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I agree with Randy. I think you&#8217;re a strong enough singer where you don&#8217;t have to change the arrangement.  it&#8217;s undeniable that you&#8217;re a perfromer, and teh way you learn in life is to take a risk, so pull it back, you don&#8217;t have to go that crazy.&#8221;  And now&#8230;deep thoughts..by jack handy.  </p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;you can boo all you want, know one will buy it.&#8221;</p>
<p>No Owen Wilson&#8217;s brother yet.  </p>
<p>Now to the kids, a thinner version of Archie.  A 16-year old, oh gee golly gosh, kind of kid with a girls scream, Aaron.  Even wearing plaid like ol Arch..Big time voice, a country singer.  Nice song choice, relevant, fits his style, doesn&#8217;t make him seem old.  Pitchie, but, puberity does this.  I don&#8217;t know if I like him, or if i&#8217;ll remember him&#8230; so based off last night that means the judges will love him. </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;You&#8217;re my favorite kind of contestant. cause you have no idea how great your raw natural talent is.  the more confident you get, the more feedback you get, what you do naturally, you actually like it and feel it. i actually like the countrypop genre. I think we&#8217;re going to see big things from you.&#8221;  Kara apparenlty just listened to Tony Robbins lastest book on cd in the offseason.  </p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;ya, ya&#8230;.ya&#8230;ya&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>I think I don&#8217;t trust Seacrest cause he&#8217;s always telling me &#8220;we&#8217;re coming to you live&#8221;  every night, but I know we&#8217;re not&#8230;</p>
<p>Remember, the kid with RDJ last year, the oreo version of &#8220;best friends&#8221;?  Why didn&#8217;t he come back?  Kid should have been in the top 12 last year.  </p>
<p>Alright, our 2nd Token B&#8230;Guy of the night.  Wait for it..wait for it&#8230;fill in the blank.  Looking daper in his Usher hat.  Jermaine is smooth, but seems to be a trendy, quasi falsetto, a bit too much for me.  Sounds like a dogg died</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;Is he htitting a good note there?  Is that good?  Maybe i&#8217;m tone deaf.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That was a tradegy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;ya&#8230;ya..i felt..ya..you were pushing?  maybe..ya..out and up..perhaps&#8230;ya..i like you..ya..huh..you were..huh..trying too hard&#8230;just huh..just relax and..huh &#8230;ya?&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I think you wanted to show everyobydy what you could do.  You went from the bottom to the top&#8230;not everyone can do that.  Don&#8217;t just running here, running there, its special.  You&#8217;re young, but it felt old to me.  No you&#8217;re not..you can sing.&#8221; </p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;you&#8217;ve totally blown you&#8217;re opportunity with that.&#8221;  </p>
<p>We&#8217;re learning how Tim Urban, got cut, then was told to come back.  So, the ex girflriend, who is available only after the hot younger girl decides you&#8217;re too old&#8230;so you call her back&#8230;&#8221;hey!!  Let&#8217;s forget about that &#8220;you&#8217;re not good enough&#8221;..we need you!!</p>
<p>&#8220;Apologize&#8221; fitting ..tim&#8217;s telling AI, it&#8217;s too late&#8230;too late.  I could see how the ladies would like him&#8230;except one reason..he sucks!  Wow..this is terrible. Perhaps one of the worst ever&#8230;</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;WTF is going on???&#8221;</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;that guy is horrible and creepy too.&#8221; </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;the music&#8230;just overpowers you..it kind of swallows you up.  We could get a feel for you, adn your tones&#8230;here you were just buried under the beat and instrumental.  That being said..they cheered for you cause you&#8217;re cute and current..no..no they weren&#8217;t&#8230;he said they were standing up to leave, no they weren&#8217;t/</p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;not..ya..smart song, ya..no..looking at you..huh..um..you&#8217;re adorable&#8230;.i mean..votes, huh ya..&#8221;</p>
<p>Ever think, that if Rainman was ever a lesiban entertainer that he&#8217;d end up on AI as a judge after the druggie coug decied to leave for greener &#8220;ventures&#8221; that he&#8217;d sound like Ellen when she&#8217;s giving critque?  It&#8217;s not gambling..if you know you&#8217;re going to win.  </p>
<p>Joe Munoz&#8230;puerto ricccoooo!!!  I have no idea if he&#8217;s from there, but when i hear Munoz, I think of the pure waters and clear sand that is&#8230;Puerto Ricccooo!!!!  We&#8217;re kind of America, but they won&#8217;t put another star on the flag..so..idk.but we&#8217;re still Puertoooo ricccooo!!!  </p>
<p>Well, this Munoz kid is still singing, not really vibing him&#8230;in fact, simelotanously I&#8217;m booking a trip to puerrttoo rico on travelocity as we speak!  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I like that you picked a song that i thought you&#8217;d never sing, i knid of like that bout you.  i miss hearing a voice, but tonight in terms of singing, (4 people), you&#8217;re defintely the best.&#8221;   </p>
<p>Is it me or is Simon having a bad day?  He just told Munoz, &#8220;you&#8217;re not a star.&#8221;  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Dont, we give him enough time?  To get his baring?  it&#8217;s his 1st show? You can work on those things.&#8221;  Kara the apologist!  You can do it carrie!! you can do it!!</p>
<p>Ok, moving right along&#8230;so far about as uneventful as last night wiht ladies night.  And there was even dollar drinks going around..at least around here..</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;i don&#8217;t know what planet you&#8217;re on&#8230;but&#8230;I want to get on it.&#8221;<br />
Buddy, &#8220;He has the biggest jaw of all-time.&#8221;</p>
<p>All about Tyler singing &#8220;american woman&#8221; Kind of Jim Morrison vibe, perhaps Lil T is wigged out on some psycho delic drug right now!  Snooping around &#8220;he is fo sho&#8217;s&#8221; locker bag stage and i&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find something.  I like him, he&#8217;s different, memorable, but so are nightmares.  I don&#8217;t know&#8230;whatever..okay, nice, kind of original, but not current at all. </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;ya, i feel to similar to simon, like jim morrison is up on your walls,all over the place, like you&#8217;re obessed or something, I want to see you do something like Phoenix, 1901, something in this decade.&#8221;  </p>
<p>Ellen, Ya..i felt..like..ya&#8230;the people you&#8217;re so attracted to..ya..you lack the charima?  maybe?  ya&#8230;</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;i don&#8217;t give a bleep about ellen anyways, already.&#8221;  as he fast forwards thru the comments&#8230;got to go to kmart..go to buy boxers..</p>
<p>No, we get to watch a paint salesman, only on AI&#8230;this is what the dream&#8217;s all about.  Daughtry was taking tire orders from Nascar fans in South Carolina before AI made him a living legend.  Ya, who&#8217;s the wild man now 24 car fan!!!??  </p>
<p>Snow Patrol!! Love it!  Underated group, &#8220;Chasing Cars.&#8221;  I&#8217;m liking this Paint Guy. Is it wrong that when I think of Paint Sales Guy, my immediate thought is, &#8220;bet he gets ripped smelling that all day at the Shermon Williams?&#8221;   </p>
<p>Me, &#8220;what&#8217;s this kids name?&#8221;  Buddy, &#8220;lee something?  lee jansen.&#8221;  Me, &#8220;isn&#8217;t that a golfer?&#8221;  Buddy, laughing&#8230;</p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;Umm&#8230;me right?  umm&#8230;i thohght that was a good song choice..uh..except..uh..when you were getting of key there..huh..like i said..a little too pushed..huh..ya..&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you make a point, the song has a real small pe..i mean range..that rasp, which we love about you.  You almost made it unrecognizable at times, take somehting bluesy and strip it down.&#8221;</p>
<p>After all 3 judges rip Lee, Simon, &#8220;best of the night.&#8221;  What???  Lee was good, but honestly, got distracted thinking about him smelling lacor.   The 1st endorsement of a candidate from Simon in 17 performances..Paint Boy&#8217;s here to stay folks!!  </p>
<p>John, whose dad has been in such movies as &#8220;Hangover&#8221; and the king in the play world of &#8220;Role Models&#8221; and most recently starring as an espanol star in &#8220;Community&#8221; on NBC, all the while asking for Shania to marry him. What was Mutt thinking anyways there? But, they lived in a Castle to begin with.  If you watch Disney movies, you know nothing good happens in castles!  </p>
<p>Ok, back to the singing..which..I&#8217;m going on record as the worst season&#8230;ever..I have not seen 1 person yet in 18 songs, that is doing anything great.  FOX thinks they can just put this garbage on twice and week and i&#8217;ll watch?  I mean, of course I will, but please&#8230;people are still making talented babies aren&#8217;t they?  Just haven&#8217;t seen much yet.</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;His real dad looks like an asian clark kent.:&#8221;  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I actually agree. You have a really big voice in there, it got a bit loungey at times, a bit sleepy, almost indulgant.  I haven&#8217;t figured out where you go, which lane you&#8217;re in.&#8221;  But, John, after hearing Tony Robbins on audio cassette tape, you too will..just like Kara apparently has.  </p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;ya..i don&#8217;t know why you picked..ya..that song..it&#8217;s not a song..huh..that&#8217;s going to get the girls..to huh..pick up the phone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Big Mike!! From Flo rida, well represnted this year! Oh ya, the baby guy! He had a baby at tryouts and lied to us saying she had 8 days till her due date, so him at tryouts for AI was totally cool&#8230;right&#8230;you know she was 2 days over and screaming at him on the Iphone, courtesy of AI.  &#8220;Boy, whatz you doin singing! I&#8217;m in here having you&#8217;re baby! and you be singing!??!&#8221;  </p>
<p>Well, Big Mike is going to sing some Maroon 5!  So a sleek, slender Adam being impersonated by a large..hum&#8230;tan?  is that pc?  Well..&#8221;tan&#8217; big mike!  Was Mike the photo lab guy who threw out a scandlous pic at George in Seinfeld?   Seems like he should be playing the guitar on a velvet love couch shirtless?  </p>
<p>Well&#8230;again, nothing great, okay..</p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;huh&#8230;well..big..huh..mike.&#8221;</p>
<p>Was the posting in the LA TImes classifieds look like, &#8220;AI Judge..need to talk like </p>
<p>Big Mike and Randy have a &#8220;brotha&#8221; moment..oh you know dogg..oh you know how i roll!!  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;it&#8217;s true, it was a lil depressing in here, till you did youre thang.  There were some good thigns about it, but it was outrageoulsy great.  You&#8217;re comfortable with you.&#8221;   ???</p>
<p>Oh good, 32 mintues left.  I haven&#8217;t seen Owen Wilson&#8217;s bro once yet?   I threw down a few benjis online on the over/under prop bet of him showing up twice.  And we&#8217;re at zero??  Uh oh.  </p>
<p>So this next guy,  was in the group with the cracked out drama girl during Hollywood week. His name is Alex.  Cool.  And Simon even intro-ed him.  Almost like a bizaro Idol night.  Crappie singers, Slim tie didn&#8217;t completly say thiisss&#8230;isss&#8230;Simon what?  And his british majesty is annoucing the next host.   </p>
<p>This guy means business in the front and looking like a party in the back! nice mini-mullet alec!  The explanation?  Dad was a huge BIlly Ray Cyrus fan in the early &#8217;90&#8242;s.  Hasn&#8217;t washed his hand since he signed it at the square dance event at the county fair in Natchez, mIssissippi!  Wheew&#8230;.that was alot!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I want to give him a hug right now.  I just want too. Your tone is crazy, you&#8217;re trying to do things, adn geting there, and giving it you&#8217;re all, it&#8217;s all there..it&#8217;s just not completely together. Believe in yourself&#8230;.believe in yourself!&#8221;  </p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;i like you too..ya..i like..ya you&#8217;re hanging onto the mullett&#8230;and i support you in that..i like..ya..bananas..and you know when a bananas not right..and i don&#8217;t ..huh..want to eat the banana&#8230;&#8221;  </p>
<p>See&#8230;conservative america was right!! You put on a liberal&#8230;and she starts just throwing it out how she doesn&#8217;t like bananas&#8230;little timmy&#8217;s asking questions??  Why doesn&#8217;t ellen like bananas mom??  I thought all ladies liked bananas?&#8221;  </p>
<p>Ok,  wtf is going on???  THis long haired dude named Casey, looks like the cool dude who doens&#8217;t need to go to class to get good grades, he&#8217;s singign Brian Adams and Kara is doing the lighty in the air move!  And she looks like she&#8217;s about to pounce on this blonde piece of man, like gazzing in his eyes kind of stuff!!  Abdul used to do it all the time, Corey Clark, they just never caught her on camera live&#8230;well, kind of live..seacrest is such a liar!</p>
<p>Anyways, I&#8217;m kind of creeped cause Kara is the resident coug, </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;omg..omg&#8230;what are you doing?  Umm&#8230;casey, i don&#8217;t recognize you with your shirt on..you know..wow..it was hard for me to listen to that..honey, i&#8217;m married, i love you.&#8221;  </p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;i could feel kara undressing you with your eyes..huh..ya..sorry..ya&#8230;everything was going on, that wasn&#8217;t fair..huh..sorry&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;can i say something serious?  Can i say something seriously now? ..seriously&#8230;.&#8221;<br />
Kara, &#8220;you might be eye candy,  but you&#8217;re ear candy too.&#8221; </p>
<p>STOP!! Bananas, ear candy, eye candy!!  This is too much!</p>
<p>SImon, &#8220;obviously the cougar over here loves you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;who you calling cougar? Cougar?&#8221; </p>
<p>Andrew, tat on the neck..I like.  &#8220;If I&#8217;m not singing, I&#8217;m usually holding people up at gas stations..&#8221;</p>
<p>Current song, Buddy, &#8220;this guys&#8217; legit.&#8221;  He&#8217;s different..finally&#8230;someone worth listening too.  Like the coke bottle glasses&#8230;coca-cola that is kids&#8230;&#8221;loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it&#8221;  lyrics from his song tonight. This is getting wayyy out of hand! </p>
<p>The redenition of the song was okay, it kind of got old after while&#8230;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I think you took the risk, but it was a really strange rendition.  I love that you stand up there and take chances, that&#8217;s bought you alot of time in my book.  I really like you and i hope we see you for many, many many weeks to come.&#8221;   Right now, Kara&#8217;s hubby is checking the pre-nup..fittin to take a girl for half!!</p>
<p>Ellen, &#8220;ya..i think..doing that paula song for a while..hummm..i&#8217;m one of your fans..ya..&#8221;</p>
<p>And&#8230;that&#8217;s the show everyone&#8230;careful, if you blinked you missed the good stuff.  Idk&#8230;I almost don&#8217;t want to pick a winner cause no one stepped up really.  But, there is some potential it seems, as song choices get better and kara&#8217;s self help techinques wear on..eventually things will turn around.  </p>
<p>Last year, on this night, i met Adam Lambert for the 1st real time.  It was creepy, it was dirty, it was&#8230;wrong??  After 2 showers and a pack of gum, I fell asleep to the &#8220;Crying Game&#8217; on my walkman, and thought, &#8220;at least there&#8217;s some dude..ette..to make it interesting every week.&#8221;  This year&#8230;the judges are more entertainig..results tomorrow night, the night Seascrest will lie to me once again, trick me that we&#8217;re live and hold me hostage with his commerical breaks before the results and FOX&#8217;s attempt their new show a 9 year old wrote, with lots of explosions!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Admit&#8230;you&#8217;ve missed it. I&#8217;ve missed it&#8230;but, the smell is in the air, the breeze starting to turn&#8230;some dude in a skinny tie is about to accentuate words a bit too much&#8230;its time. Thhhiss is the top 24&#8230;and thhiisss&#8230;is Ammmerican IDol!!!</p>
<p>Seacrest, &#8220;This is not just a stage, this is just a platform..that will launch these contestants into space..err&#8230;stardom! &#8220;</p>
<p>Ladies night! Dollar drinks and 12 females. Dare I saw &#8220;Got Diversity&#8221; this year? My goodness, feel like I&#8217;m at a U.N. compeitition. And it&#8217;s really weird seeing Ellen here this year, and I&#8217;m actually saying, &#8220;oh good Kara&#8217;s back!&#8221; Will Ellen dance?? Will she break it down? I will miss Paula though, something just doesn&#8217;t feel right. I miss the drooling, the slurring&#8230;.</p>
<p>Our 1st Kara quote &#8220;i think so, i think that&#8217;s important..gives people a frame of reference, why people pick certain songs..I think it&#8217;s good though.&#8221; hhmmm&#8230;.she sounds smarter this year?</p>
<p>Our 1st song&#8230;TBG..Token&#8230;B&#8230;Girl&#8230;you fill in the blank. Paige Miles, breaking it down y&#8217;all!! 7 on the looks, 5 on the vocals. I remember a year ago, a young sista from down under, Jasmine, brought the house down. I&#8217;m having withdrawls, as I do at this time of year, where&#8217;s &#8220;Oh He Is for sure&#8221;?? Screaming, strobing? Nice riffs, kind of bringing the house down wiht that last vocal&#8230;but&#8230;i&#8217;m not that blown away.</p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;out of all the girls, I think you have the best voice.&#8221; What?? Didn&#8217;t hear that coming.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I disagree, with Simon&#8230;i know..i think the song was actually brillant, cause its a rock song and you got to put ur soul into it. You slayyed those lyrics, but you got a ridiculous voice girl.&#8221;</p>
<p>Our 1st Ford Focus commerical of the year!! Some Clarkson hybrid singing&#8230;.My Focus Ban is still on America! Untill the Blind Kid is driving, I ain&#8217;t buying!!</p>
<p>Ever think Owen Wilson&#8217;s brother would be more popular telling me why Verizon sucks, than his own brother right now? Heroin will do that to you I guess!</p>
<p>Alright, Ashley Rodriguez&#8230;Nice look, real J-Lo circa 1999 skin going on, great voice&#8230;I like her! Good song choice, current, hip&#8230;.defintely not Elvis Week. Ok, it&#8217;s going well. Good range, but kind of feel like I should invite her to my nieces bamitzva, and I&#8217;m not even Jewish. But, I would if I was!</p>
<p>&#8220;she&#8217;s pretty&#8221;.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Big song&#8230;biig song to take own. Our kind of Mariah carey of this generatoin. I got to give you credit for taking on a big song. And for you, going forward, and i think you will go forward, I want to see you take on songs that will challenge you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eye Candy #2 for the night&#8230;well, if the singing thing doesn&#8217;t work, Janel Wheeler from Orlando!! the dirty dirty yo&#8230;<em>Heart</em>!! Can&#8217;t go wrong with Heart on AI!! Huge potential, but huge risk! Are we sure this isn&#8217;t Kady Malloy from 2 years ago, just 2 years older?? Resemblence is uncanny.. Thought it had more potential than it did, kind of came, and was gone&#8230;.but again..if that singing thing don&#8217;t work out girl! Vogue it!</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s good&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;i like you, but..i have to agree&#8230;the song was too big from you. That was one of the biggest rock vocals ,ever.. we heard that with the estelle song, but when you&#8217;re hitting those notes so hard, you lose that.&#8221;</p>
<p>9 years into this show, and we&#8217;re still hearing the phrase, &#8220;song choice&#8221;? DId none of these ladies get FOX growing up??</p>
<p>Our Owen WIlson brother shots is up to 2 so far for the evening&#8230;..</p>
<p>Lilly Scott, now..living out of her car and struggling to sing&#8230;how can I possibly rip her?? Oh just watch! Looking like she was living in a 1985 Lebaron girl! Love the retro look. Doing the Beatles! Guitar, likey..it&#8217;s Megan Joy 2.0 everybody with the voice! Soft, sassy, her look is creepy, but I will remember her after tonight. Good to see Lilly out to prove she belongs in the industry, and not just confined to the backseat of her car! hey-oo</p>
<p>&#8220;I like her&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you&#8217;re believalbe, you come from your heat. i think the best thing you can do as an artist is stand on the street and bust for money. And every one is going to remember you tonight.&#8221; There she is!!! Kara!! &#8220;Bust&#8221; for money yo!!</p>
<p>Sooo&#8230;Will I Am from Black Eyed Peas pushing Reeses Peanut Butter Cups on me??&#8230;.Dre is pushing Dr. Pepper..snoop, is pushing ESPN&#8230;If only Easy E were still alive!</p>
<p>Katelyn, I once made fun of a girl in the 5th grade who had hair like Katelyn does, the frizzy, curly stuff&#8230;I said, &#8220;did you stick your finger in a light socket.&#8221; I was honest, unfortunatley I didn&#8217;t get her Snack pack that day at lunch&#8230;lesson anyways. Strangely enough, 10 years later, that kind of  &#8221;bad boy insult&#8221; led to a hook up with her.  And it was electric! yes!!</p>
<p> I like the dress, or lack there off, liking the voice as we keep going&#8230;.but right when it gets good, it ends (twss)!! Also, a 1st of the year! She&#8217;s good, given more time I think she could do well. (twss)!! It&#8217;s here and it&#8217;s real peeps! Going Lambert on you this year! just deal!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;You&#8217;ve been singin your whole life? Since you were out of the womb? You now your voice..you really know what your&#8217;e doinng..you really switced it up in a way that mproved the song..i don&#8217;t think the make over is helping you, I liked you a lil bit more natural, earthy&#8230;i don&#8217;t know if the red lipstick, the thing&#8230;i don&#8217;t know.&#8221; I vote that &#8220;out of the womb&#8221; be banned from being said on Network Television..it&#8217;s creepy.</p>
<p>Hello lips!! wow, did someone punch a girl?? I can&#8217;t help but notice it from Haeley Vaughn! Not to be critical, but I can&#8217;t help but notice the mouth. Like Mr. Ed meet  Shakakan in the mid to late &#8217;80&#8242;s or something&#8230;.just saying. Voice is growing on me, but unforuntately this isn&#8217;t quite radio yet sweetheart. It&#8217;s actually FOX brought to you in stunning HD by&#8230;wait for it..wait for it&#8230;Dos Equis!! Stay Thirsty my friends</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;so..from a techincal soundpoint&#8230;there was some issues in that song. but what i can say about you, you come and you have fun&#8230;you&#8217;re very pure, and thats why people get up and you make up for what you can&#8217;t do.&#8221; Translation, you sound bad, but you make up for it by your lips!</p>
<p>Lacey Brown&#8230;an event coordinator!! Oh I like me some of them! Liking the lil twang&#8230;Fleetwood Mac, alright&#8230;this could be special. One of the better songs ever written, imo. Going with the text acronyms this year, something new, staying fresh for the kids. Omg, she&#8217;s not hitting this. Smooth, delicious, who wants ice cream!! Really not showing her range, her vocals. I liked it, but..it may have been too slow for the judges.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you usually hit those notes&#8230;with such ease, tonight it felt more force. songs like, sundays, kiss me, that&#8217;s your vibe.&#8221;<br />
SImon, &#8220;you&#8217;ve got nice eyes.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Glee</em>&#8230;let&#8217;s talk about this. It&#8217;s quickly becoming the new <em>Jag</em> of the 2010. Everyone loves it, and I don&#8217;t know one of them. But, the lady from &#8220;Role Models&#8221; is in it, so maybe I&#8217;ll give it a chance. <em>Glee</em>, Ellen&#8230;all in primetime. 1997 just vomitted!! Evolution yo!</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Alright, the Flo rida train keeps on rolling with Michelle Delamar from the M.i.a! &#8220;Fallen&#8221; by Alicia..big, it&#8217;s Whitney big, so let&#8217;s see. Like the look, current, is that a Cane tat I see?? No&#8230;just wishful. I could see this one going far, good range, sexy, has that &#8220;latina&#8221; swag that&#8217;s so in right now. So do you think Ellen thinks during the ladies night, &#8220;dang..girl got it going on tnite?&#8221; You know you&#8217;re thinking if she does. Or, is Portia de Rossi insanely jealous right now?? Michelle, huge voice, great look&#8230;we found a star ladies and gentlemen.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you&#8217;re very..commerical looking&#8230;and when you hit it right,it sounds great. (twss) Every time you stand on that stage, it&#8217;s got to be techincally great. Believeablilty is what i feel you lack.&#8221; Believeability&#8230;word of the night.</p>
<p>Didi!! We&#8217;ve got a Didi yo&#8230;isn&#8217;t she obligated to sing either the self title song, &#8220;didi..you be my didi&#8221; or something by p. diddy? Lot of crying already in the clips, and Didi is going to be attempting not to cry. Megan Joy 3.0 everybody! That unique, I want to be the girl who sings in the Ipod commericals, voice, thing going on. So far, no tears. It&#8217;s crisp on the 500 watts of pure Dolby Surrond Sound presented by Oranges&#8230;they grow on trees, and they taste yummy. Oranges.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I agree, and disagree with him. I think it&#8217;s a singer, songwriter type thing. You at least made some changes to the original recording, you can think, &#8220;wow, i can take it here and there.&#8217;&#8230;but..but..she&#8217;s showing anohter level than just tyrhing to be like some one else. but it was a bit pitchy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Was that Owen Wilson&#8217;s brother in a cell phone commerical?? 3 times so far, yes! Wow, Verizon sucks!</p>
<p>Siobhan..the most unique name we&#8217;ve had here at Idol, and her interview makes me creepy. Girls who like fire, I generally try to stay away from, especially when they talk all slow and quiet, almost like &#8220;i will light you on fire if I feel you&#8217;re an anti-femminist&#8221;!  But, her voice is a female Lambert..&#8221;Wicked Game&#8221;, our 1st Chris Issac song of the year. &#8220;The world was on fire, no one could save me but you&#8221; 1st line of the lyrics..hmmm..ironic. Like the name, Siobhan. It&#8217;s weird hearing a girl sing this song though. She&#8217;s doing aight, I feel like I should like her, or she might torch me!</p>
<p>Ok, nothing&#8217;s really blowing me away. Who am I you ask? Well, I&#8217;m the main demographic of America, and a 9 year AI watcher, and&#8230;.a frequent, infrequent illegal downloader of music!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t have picked it, but i have to say, kind of liked you on that song. you&#8217;re a corky girl, its gets a lil nasal at times, but what i like you, you really in the moment when you sing, you go for it, i feel that connection. you&#8217;re living it and breathing it out on that stage.&#8221;  I have no idea what that really meant, which is why i verbatum Kara every show.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not &#8220;Hells&#8217; Kitchen&#8221;, it&#8217;s &#8220;Kitchen Nightmares&#8221; totallly different show America&#8230;please watch!</p>
<p>Crystal from Ohio. Oh, she&#8217;s a momma..cute. She&#8217;s different, granola different. Doing it for the kid, always a good motive. Alanis!! ANd our 1st harmonica on a guitar in Idol history. Okay, let&#8217;s do this! So, you can play the harmonica&#8230;and this is a singing compeition&#8230;Hasselhoff&#8217;s show is on the other network Quaker Oats! Just saying&#8230;Remember Jason Castro? What&#8217;s he doing these days? I liked it, even giving me a lil more harmonica towards the end, cause, who doesn&#8217;t want more harmonica??</p>
<p>She&#8217;s different, Idol likes different. She&#8217;ll advance.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;so&#8230;you were good tnite, i think you have greatness in you though. You have that ability, to take us on a journey. I think what he&#8217;s talking about, is not to be a coffee house performer, that you&#8217;ll be here next year&#8230;next week&#8230;next week.&#8221; AH yes, give her 12 comments, and she&#8217;s bound too say something good!</p>
<p>Seacrest is so thin in black! I hate him! Final song of the night&#8230;.wouldn&#8217;t have known that except for the intense finger cramps occuring right now for me.  Contemplating changing over from Progressive Insurance to the President from 24&#8242;s company, simply because he&#8217;s not annoying and the Progressive girl I want to hit with my car everytime I see her, then just claim the deductible.  $500 would never be so worth it!  Okay, back to the show&#8230;</p>
<p>Katie Stevens, I like her voice, kind of commanding, and I&#8217;m feelllingg&#8230;.gooooooddddd&#8221; Sing along everyone!! Where did this come from, the innoncent Katie in the intro, breaking down the   s .e &#8230;! Wait&#8230;she&#8217;s 17??? Just found that out&#8230;okay&#8230;ya&#8230;let&#8217;s forget I said that. Huge voice, best of tonight for me. Top 4 written all over her, perfect song, perfect riffs&#8230;quasi standing O from me. but, I have a laptop on me, so that&#8217;s not happening. Bonus (twss)</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;I think if you killed the song, we wouldn&#8217;t be saying that. I thougth you were kind of pitchy..i mean you have ridiculous chops and I hope america gives you another shot.&#8221;  Chops?  Sometimes I feel like Kara is talking about a local steakhouse new in town instead of music. </p>
<p>Alright, Round One down, have No idea who is going to win. Probably the most mediocore 1st night I can remember. Defintely some potential, but nothing that really said, &#8220;wow, she&#8217;s going to be giving controversial performances at the AMA&#8217;s a year from now&#8221; on it! But then again, maybe no lady can surpass &#8220;He Is&#8221;..ever&#8230;</p>
<p>The judges and I aren&#8217;t seeing eye to eye tonight. Who am I? Well, I can produce 45 texts a minute, so I call that a &#8220;difference maker&#8221; when it comes to voting!!  But, Lesson 1 so far for me this year with AI, is I&#8217;ll only shower after the show because I want too, not because I feel as though I must. </p>

There&#8217;s like 10 people around a fountain&#8230;usually they are packing out thousands.  Oh yeah, Carly Smithson doing interviews, anything to get face time.  </p>
<p>Top 13 perfromances!! BK&#8217;s back!!! BK&#8217;s back!!  Oh my goodness, i&#8217;ve missed him!!! Thickness, chocalcates..Anoop!!  Wow, they&#8217;re all back!! Notice most are staying in place this time around..the BK facotr.  Isn&#8217;t Jasmine 18 now?  Jorge!!!  I forgot about him..seems like justerday he was around &#8230;BK touching hands in the crowd..classic.  </p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;So like a year..&#8221;</p>
<p>IMe, &#8220;it&#8217;s pretty much year round, yes. &#8220;&#8230;.</p>
<p>David Cook is in the hizhouse!!  It was about 15 months ago in previous writtings where I accused DC of having a 3rd nipple.  Never been disproved btw.  He just seems like one of those kinds of people.  DC was the most original contestant ever&#8230;What he did with his arrangements and riffs..wheww!!!  Icon. </p>
<p>Now, he&#8217;s telling me if i go legal download all the proceeds go to charity of this song.  I&#8217;ll donate in my heart, while I illegally download it!  Don&#8217;t judge me!! </p>
<p>Awards Portions of the Program..</p>
<p>Golden Idol Awards&#8230;thank the sweet lord for DVR!!  Showing these highlights of the tryouts make me remember how nice Paula was being to everyone so they wouldn&#8217;t end it all in her front lawn.  </p>
<p>I would love to see an &#8220;He Is&#8221;/Norman Gentle duet!  I&#8217;d pay $ for this! </p>
<p>Only on AI can this guy do that in front of 20 million people at the Nokia </p>
<p>NG, &#8220;I want that perch, that is power!!!  &#8220;Norman Gentle, 0 9..peace out!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Wow, Thickness and Latefiah&#8230;does Lil look like she&#8217;s completely sold out on her style for hollywood? She&#8217;ll be banging Nick Cannon in no time!!  The Queen looking yummy tonight!! Buddy, &#8220;Are we done with this?&#8221;   Fast forward..</p>
<p>If Anoop and Snoop don&#8217;t bring it tonight&#8230;then what a missed opportunity.  Instead, let&#8217;s have him do a Jason Maraz song.  Remember the blonde girl who got voted off early?  What&#8217;s her name?!  I can&#8217;t remember it&#8230;Jason Maraz and the One Republic dude look alot alike.  BK is the truth!! I mean, the truth!!  </p>
<p>How many &#8216;darkhorses&#8217; did we have this year? Kris with a K and Keith with a K!  Love it, current, energetic&#8230;I&#8217;d buy that song..legit!  Kris with a K is so much better than Justin Guareni.  Wow, the ladies are in lingerie!! </p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;Slluttyy&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Fergilicious!!  She went from that kinda hot &#8216;nappy chick&#8217; in Black Eyed Peas to a bonafide hottie!!  Star test, Jason Maraz gets sandwiched between 2 also rans on AI..while Fergie is front and center with the ladies in the back.  Speaking of the BEP&#8217;s&#8230;Megan Joy clubbin it down!  Her and Gwen going back to the bands after soloing out for a while.</p>
<p> I&#8217;m convinced network tv markets to people who use hard core drugs..this performance would fit right in there!  The costumes, the moves&#8230;Name an artist with better legs than Fergie?  Maybe Carrie..maybe.  </p>
<p>Bikini Girl!!  She carried the show for 2 weeks..</p>
<p>Kara, .&#8217;Hold on a minute bitch!&#8221; (singing) Beccausee&#8230;.(not singing) no i want to show her!&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara, to Bikini Girl, &#8220;Why do i just know you as top and bottom.  Next time come naked.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wow, I forgot how horrible some of these singers were!  Bikini Girl!!! And someone got a boob job!!!  damn, she&#8217;s hot!! </p>
<p>RS to Bikini Girl, &#8220;I was goign to ask you whats new, but I think we already know!&#8221; </p>

And she just took it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!! Bikini Kara!!!  Wow, all for the charity!!  Kara!!  I&#8217;m speechless..I&#8217;m absolutley speechless!  </p>
<p>Allision and Cindi Lauper&#8230;it&#8217;s still 1981 in Cindi&#8217;s world&#8230;it never has to change!  Allision will make a good record.  &#8220;Alone&#8221; for me, still the best performance this year.  You look at CL and think, &#8220;did she just snort pills in the back before hand?&#8221;  Why do I feel Boy George is going to come out at any moment right now?  I&#8217;m still stunned from Kara&#8217;s striptease.  So..the Super Bowl has to play conservative, &#8216;family&#8217; quality halftime shows, but the AI Finale can have bikinis and quasi flashes?!   </p>
<p>Is that &#8220;He Is&#8221;&#8216;s bff on the left side of dad?  why didn&#8217;t they interview him?  RDJ is back!!  A possible Lionel Richie duet? You never know on the Finale..never know.  Loving this version&#8230;&#8221;Hello&#8221;..why didn&#8217;t he do this on the show? Nicole Ritchie&#8217;s dad!!!!  Brotha hasn&#8217;t aged at all.  Still ballin.  </p>
<p>&#8220;So You Think You Can Dance&#8221; is like the Arena Football to AI&#8217;s NFL.  It holds you over for a bit, but then yo realize it&#8217;s not the same thing.  </p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221;&#8230;in his Mad Max outfit.  WTF is he wearing?!!  Buddy, &#8220;WTF is he wearing?&#8221; Great minds think alike at the same time. </p>
<p>Beth, what can I do?  I&#8217;m officially done with this guy.  Never going to buy anything of his.  Kiss?!!!  Kiss?!!  And &#8220;He Is&#8221;!!  oh damn!!!  Let&#8217;s rock this out!!! There&#8217;s the screaming!!!  THis is a trip, I want to rock in roll all night!!!  Entertaining to say the least.  Last night dry Ice for &#8220;He Is&#8217;..tonight..fire&#8230;I&#8217;m just speechless&#8230;</p>
<p>Santana!!  The Finale&#8217;s like a musical festival of celebration.  And Matt G wants to be a Santana type of cabare singer.  Jorge!!!  Forgot about him.  I like Kris&#8217; voice much better than &#8220;He Is&#8221;s..BK!!  My goodness, we&#8217;re you been old friend?!! Heather Lockear!!  </p>
<p>Fantastic group performance!!  </p>
<p>Our last FORD commercial of the year.  Next year I&#8217;m thinking FIAT will be sponsoring the show given FORD&#8217; inabiliity to sell me a car. BK..no drive..no buy.  Nice try.  </p>
<p>Megan Joy, Oil Guy and Steve Martin.  My lord, i&#8217;ve seen it all now.  Now Oil Rig guy is pimping a bling cross?!  God bless.  Megan Joy would have been great in &#8220;Walk The Line&#8221;..if the roles had been reversed..where Johnnie was the straight path guy&#8230;No one&#8217;s disappointed me from the beginning till now than Megan Joy.  She had loads of potential, felt she never took it seriously and has progressively gotten stranger and more lacksidasical as it&#8217;s gone on.  The fact Steve Martin was playing banjo and not even making jokes, is different.  </p>
<p>Group Performance, not looking like Snoop and Anoop dueting tonight.  BK with the impressive moves!!  Get rid of the ricola hat Matt G!!  Stop the madness!!  </p>
<p>Rod Stewart&#8230;1 word..Closer.  WHen I think releveant, I think &#8220;Maggie&#8221;&#8230;and plaid jackets! Knowing this guy got laid more times in the &#8217;80&#8242;s  than WIlt did baffles me.  Oh the Cougs are loving this!! </p>
<p>Top 5 Finale moments ever</p>
<p>1. Daughtry with Live</p>
<p>2. Clay with his g a y lover/obsessed super fan in a duet</p>
<p>3. Bo Bice with Lynard Skinner</p>
<p>4. Prince showing up unannounced, singing, leaving like he owned the place..</p>
<p>5. Archie with One Republic last year</p>
<p>Honorable Mention&#8230;Hasselhoff weeping as Taylor HIcks won AI.  Still very creepy.</p>
<p>Taitana!!  She&#8217;s coming back!!  She is the best vocalist in the room.  This is for all those people who told her she&#8217;d have to sleep with them to get a record deal!  Is this real? Or staged?  I&#8217;m thinking staged&#8230;Who knows. </p>
<p>Alright, the journey&#8217;s comign to an end..time to get this over with.  Usually I&#8217;m nervous right about this time..tonight&#8230;not so much.  I got a last minute feeling&#8230;Kris with a K is going to win&#8230;I said &#8220;He Is&#8221; would, but now I&#8217;m covered either way.  </p>
<p>&#8220;We Are The Champions&#8221;!!  Queen closing this out!!  Why do I feel they&#8217;ve found Freddie Mercury&#8217;s replacment?  And we have our choir!! We didn&#8217;t get that last night did we!! Always, always there is a gospel choir on the finale&#8230;last night there was not.  This is legit!  Dry Ice, gospel choir..Queen..what more do you want!  </p>
<p>The moment of truth..it&#8217;s on, 4 1/2 months in the making&#8230;here we go.  Whoooo&#8230;..willl &#8230;bee  THE Ammerriiccann IDOoolll?!!  </p>
<p>The winner..of American Idol..2009&#8230;is&#8230;..KRIS ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Are you kidding me!!!!!!  THe people have spoken!  The people have spoken!!  </p>
<p>Winner&#8217;s trophy?  Knives will be thrown cause Kris jsut kissed the model/award presenter!!  I&#8217;m shocked, wow!!  &#8220;No Boundaries&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Best season of Idol ever.  Kris, was the best song selector in the show&#8217;s history. His voice is silky smooth.  &#8220;He Is&#8221;..talented, he&#8217;ll make $&#8230;but Kris is legit.  And just like that, they announce the winner, he sings the song, and see you next year.  </p>
<p>This has to be the 2nd biggest upset in Idol history.  Taylor Hicks over Daughtry was just absurd.  Bottom line, despite his immense talents he was unable connect enough with normal America.  The Gokey Factor could have played a roll, only a million votes between the 3 of them last week.  Either way, Kris Allen is your Americal Idol for 2009.  </p>
<p>And that is the end.  </p>
<p>Fanbase. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;No Boundaries&#8221;&#8230;.you&#8217;ll know what I&#8217;m talking in about by the end of the show toinght. It&#8217;s the Finale, the beginning of a 3 hour spectacle and this year party horror show.  This is one of the 5 best television events of the whole year.  The finale, brings a Super Bowl like atmosphere, singers trying to win it all, leading up to the sappy Idol-ballad where usually someone has to sell out their style to make it work.  </p>
<p>Case in point, Season 4, Bo/Carrie..Bo the Rocker, has to sing &#8220;Inside Your Heaven&#8221; during which he had that angry look he had in his mug shot years early.  Blake/Jordin 2 years ago, be bopper had to do his best Brian McKnight impression, instead of being allowed to leave the voters with an authentic impression.  It&#8217;s the double edge sword that is the Idol Finale. </p>
<p>Kevin from The Office, &#8220;so what we&#8217;ve got going on tonight, &#8220;He Is&#8221; in 1 corner, Kris with a K in another.  Mascara vs Gel..Fishnet vs Flannel&#8230;San Diego vs Cheese Whiz&#8230;a battle ro-yal of the century&#8230;.it&#8217;s going to be great!&#8221; </p>
<p>It&#8217;s &#8216;A&#8217; game time for Buddy..he knows what I&#8217;m talking about&#8230;THiiiissss&#8230;.iIISSSS  *wait for it*&#8230;.Ammerriiiccccaannnnn IDDDDooooolLLLL!!!!</p>
<p>The incredible scene of the Nokia Theatre! Is it me or is it weird for Seacrest to have a microphone?  Paula looking&#8230;young&#8230;We just saw our Texas sweetheart who didn&#8217;t make the top 12!! hello!!  </p>
<p>Kris won the coin toss&#8230;and gets to go 2nd! Huge..I mean huge.  Although Cook went 1st last year.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s on&#8230;Round 1 presented by Tom Cruise as a believable Nazi with an Americna accent in Valkeryie, available now!&#8230;.here we go! </p>
<p>&#8220;He IS&#8221;..&#8221;Apparently I was a real pain in the butt in restaurants.&#8221; interesting&#8230;&#8221;Mad World&#8221;&#8230;I&#8217;m scared, I see smoke.  Ah, I remember this song..good choice.  Nothing like a lil dry ice to enhance a finale performance.  I feel like I&#8217;m in a Mad World right now, watching this dude try to be a chick, yet disturbingly I&#8217;m liking it.  The most confusing contestant ever, just dont&#8217; know how to handle this.  </p>
<p>Impressive start.  I mean, impressive start.  Tough to top that. </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;adam, i am so happy you chose that peformance&#8230;from the1st time u did that song, i knew not only you were an extraordinary singer, but a great artist..you change the game up for every contestant..you rocked it again tonight!&#8221; </p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;I always thought this was your best performance.e..for some reason, maybe it was the coat, it was a bit theatrical..wait a minute&#8230;just reminded me a lil bit of phantom of the opera..&#8221;</p>
<p>He Is&#8221;, they said they had dry ice and a thing to get me up the stairs.&#8221;..</p>
<p>Kris with a K..&#8221;for some reason my wife just starting throwing knives at me&#8230;she was always seemingly so happy, but really, she is a devious, cult member who only wants to appear pleasant, despite internalizing and harboring anger.&#8221;  </p>
<p>&#8220;Ain&#8217;t No Sunshine&#8221;..helluva song bud!! Piano, big hit this year&#8230;incredible visual with the theatre crowd of 70,000 behind him.  His voice is like velvet..smooth, creamery smooth.  Jazzy, hip, current&#8230;take that &#8220;He IS&#8221;!!  One of the best song selectors in AI history..Kris with a K&#8230;all season.  I feel like he could open for Yanni anyday!  </p>
<p>Hey, the knive throwing dressing up!!  Girl been dieting since we 1st saw her.  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;i gotta agree wtih randy..if you cant feel a kris allen performance and he does move you, there&#8217;s something wrong with youl..u have a way of creating an intimate bond with us, the audience..and that&#8217;s an incredilbe gift.&#8221;</p>
<p>Paula, &#8220;you&#8217;ve awaken the spirit in all of us..in the un i&#8230;unique way you sing.  that&#8217;s the true marking of a great artist.&#8221;..</p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;when your name was announced last week..i wasnt sure if america had made the right choice..i absoutely take that all back after that performance.&#8221;</p>
<p>Round 1&#8230;to Kris with a K</p>
<p>Round 2 presented by Patrick Chewing&#8230;&#8221;hello RYaan&#8221;!&#8230;Simon Fuller picks the songs. </p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221; , &#8220;Change is Gonna Change&#8221;..His screaming really takes away from his abilities..soulful, hearty&#8230;dirty..typical &#8220;He Is&#8221; performance.  I feel like I know nothing about this kid&#8230;almost like FOX has tried to keep him in the closet all season..had too!! haha!!  I assume that&#8217;s a silver suit he&#8217;s got on!  And he&#8217;s screaming, tongue hanging out, if he sang this in 1960 like he&#8217;s trying to theatrically re-create, it&#8217;d be banned from the Ed Sullivan Show&#8230;Dad,.&#8221;turn that off, we aint watching no sissy boy scream on the television set!&#8221; </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;adam, that may have been ur best performance and interpretation of a song from the beginning of the song..that&#8217;s ur wnning combination..using both sides of yourself!&#8221;</p>
<p>Cougar, &#8220;That was the best i&#8217;ve ever heard you sing..ever..ever..ever..standing on chair..wheww&#8230;i know with eveyr fiber in my being you&#8217;re going to be Iconic&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;all i would say you are 100 percent back in the game.&#8221; </p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;so he wasn&#8217;t in the game before?.&#8221;..</p>
<p>Kris with a K&#8230;&#8221;Whats Going On&#8221;&#8230;already love it!!  wow!  war is not the answer&#8230;He&#8217;s taking black people&#8217;s songs and making them something relevant and hip, considering he&#8217;s white and from Arkansas.  Amazing talent, arrangement, and most of all..I don&#8217;t feel like I need to go to confessional after watching Kris sing.  I think straight America will push him through.  </p>
<p>Hey Ms. Parrkkerr!!!&#8230;.I&#8217;m all about Ms. Knives tonight!!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you know Chris, what i love about you, you&#8217;ve been true to ur self form day 1..you have not waivered and i&#8217;m glad simono fuller picked that song for you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Paula, &#8220;i know whats going on? (right)..you tore that song up!! whew! and made marvin gaye proud!!&#8221; </p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;i love the song, but if i&#8217;m being honest with you it was like 3 friends in a bedroom strunning along to marvin gaye.&#8221;</p>
<p>Angry Buddy, &#8220;bleep off!! </p>
<p>Round 2&#8230;on my card, Kris..on the judges card &#8220;He Is&#8221;</p>
<p>Round 3..prsented by Dos Equis, Stay Thirsty my Friends and by ExtenZe.com..bet you go check it out!  You have nothing to lose&#8230;but a lot to gain..Extenze.com</p>
<p>The kara song&#8230;&#8221;He Is&#8221; is at an advantage cause Kris with a K will seem like he&#8217;s coping him.  The Idol Ballad&#8230;he&#8217;ll find someway to filth -a- fi it.  I like the song actually, typicall Miley Sirus, &#8220;The Climb&#8221; thing going on&#8230;&#8221;He Is&#8221; singing, &#8216;You can go higher..you can deeper..&#8221;&#8230;creepy</p>
<p>The is cheesy, FOX just made $10 million on ITunes with this p.o.s. song.  </p>
<p>Kara,&#8221;If adam, i think i speak on behalf of my cowriters..its amazing of someone of your talent that we&#8217;ve written..im moved, i&#8217;m proud and thank you for giving me that moment at the end.&#8221; oh, so this is all about Kara tonight is it? </p>
<p>Cool Mom, &#8220;adam..ada!!&#8230;words..adjectives cannot express what you&#8217;ve brought to the season 8..i&#8217;m in awe..you can sing whatever you want to sing and i will be a fan forever..front in line!!&#8221;</p>
<p>groupie cougar!!</p>
<p>Simon mocking Kara, &#8220;its the mountains and the hurricanes (Kara, &#8220;shut up Simon!)&#8230;i&#8217;m not going to judge that song&#8230;the whole idea to do a show like this is you hope you find a world wide star and i genuninely feel we&#8217;ve found that with you..congradulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Translation, &#8220;dont even try to vote for the other kid&#8230;adam wins the title.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221; looks likes a more masculine version of Lyza Minelli&#8230;..werid&#8230;all the numbers to text in for &#8220;He Is&#8221; are odd&#8230;symbolic. </p>
<p>Kris K&#8230;&#8221;No Boundaries&#8221;..deja vu&#8230;.the song is obvioulsy suited for Kris.  Crispy Cream  smooth&#8230;Not digging it bud&#8230;.wait, he&#8217;s bringing it at the end&#8230;No Boundaries!!  Throw your littes in the air!! Kris left me with a clean, feeling.  Wholesome.  </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;chris, i dont want you to be judged on that song. I want you to be judged for the whoel season.  You are a incredible aritst..i congradulate you on the season..and i hope people vote on the season&#8230;:</p>
<p>Simon, &#8220;again, i think your highlight tonight was the 1st song you sang..i think watching you tonight on this stage has been incredibe, no confidenct, not sure of how good you could be..you throughly dserve to be standing on this stage toingth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Translation, &#8220;vote for Adam!&#8221;</p>
<p>Round 3..&#8221;He Is&#8221;..because Simon did all he could again to get him to win. </p>
<p>Kris, &#8220;Me and adam said we aren&#8217;t competitng.&#8221; Whatever bud, this is the biggest singoff in history.  I&#8217;m Cher if you&#8217;re not competiting!! </p>
<p>The 3 song montage of &#8220;He Is&#8221; was heartpounding&#8230;and I dont even know why! </p>
<p>Great finale, and we&#8217;re getting Carrie Underwood!!  LIke the dessert at Outback!  I&#8217;m full, but I always have room for Carrie.  </p>
<p>If i were Taitana I would go on tv and charge people for my predictions of who would win tonght, to really validate her psyhic abilities. I bet it would make a fortune. </p>
<p>Overall, &#8220;He Is&#8221; will win.  I am pulling for Kris but barring a homosexual suicide bomber blowing up a major subway in the next 4 hours and ticking of all the straights, well&#8230;gonna be hard to see Kris with a K winning AI.  </p>
<p>However, props to Mrs. Kris with a K!  Imo, she was the real winner tonight!  She&#8217;ll have a chance to screw it up tomorrow night when &#8220;He IS&#8221; gets announced late, late..remember to set your dvr&#8217;s, we&#8217;re going long tomorrow night!  The vanity of AI! </p>
<p>Stay Thirsty My Friends&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If next week is the Super Bowl of AI, then tonight is the conference title games. Hard to use a football metaphor when talking about &#8220;He Is&#8221;, but I am what I am. Tonight&#8217;s blog is brought to you by condomdepot.com. How much would I let condomdepot.com pay me to wear it on the back of my pants everyday to work, ala UFC? We all have a price don&#8217;t we?</p>
<p>Back to business, AI top 3, who do you send home? I&#8217;d think it&#8217;s going to be our Oscar Winning contestant RDJ, but it&#8217;s AI and that would be sensible if you&#8217;re judging off 1 night. I officially rescind my standing ovation I gave RDJ last night. 1st performance of the night, got a little carried away, catchy but not standing ovation worthy. For the record, I&#8217;ve given only a handful of Standing O&#8217;s in my 8 years of AI. The 1st was Clay Aikens&#8217;, &#8220;Bridge Over Troubled Water&#8221; during the finale during vs Ruben. Despite my loath for Claygay, it was the greatest single performance in the history of the world on AI and merited an ovation.</p>
<p>TIvo, check..Buddy&#8230;not present, so double dutie tonight. Buddy&#8217;s here in spirit though, peace be to Buddy. Thiiis&#8230;&#8230;isss Ameriiicann IdDDOllll!!!!</p>
<p>FOX starting off with hits shamless performance with it&#8217;s spoof of the Ben Stiller movie. Hey, The nutless monkey guy from Tropic Thunder, Welcome to the Goodie Room!! he&#8217;s gaining cred in the movie biz. We in the biz like to call it &#8216;street cred&#8217;. Kevin Bacon is in the hizhouse. 88000 thousand billion votes came in, and if I think I know how the top 2 shapes up, then I should think again. Only a million votes separted each one, this is the 3some version of Ruben/Clay &#8217;03.</p>
<p>Jordin Sparks, Katy Perry&#8230;nice evening.</p>
<p>FORD video!! &#8220;He Is&#8221;&#8216;s lipstick looks ravishing in this! FORD keeps trying though.</p>
<p>Now Alicia Keys is here. Has anyone gotten hotter over the years than her? I mean when she kept on falling in and out of love, with you, she was bo legged, nappy headed hoe who could sing, but now&#8230;I mean..she&#8217;s lookin gamazing. I am texting the word ALIVE!!! Wait, you want me to donate $5?! I And now this lil kid is known as 1 name..NOooahh!! R Kelly song, incredible! It&#8217;s Akon&#8217;s love child!! Kid&#8217;s pretty smooth for growing up in a poverty ravaged country. Oh dance off!! NOah!! Best contestant i&#8217;ve seen all year on AI! He&#8217;d win it if he competed!</p>
<p>BK!!!! BK!!! He&#8217;s back in the audience! WTF?!! Is he watching it? I miss him!</p>
<p>RDJ is the 1st&#8230;.The evolution of all this, don&#8217;t even remember him from January being the way he was, till now.  Bona fide start. Jamar, should have been here, really should. If Matt G made the top 12, Jamar should have too. We&#8217;re heading to Laverne and Shirley terriotory. FOX and At&amp;t shoving prodcut down my throat! If he really wants to be a rock star, he should be doing lines in the back of the stretch limo! I don&#8217;t even know what the mayor just said to him! Is that a gang symbol he&#8217;s throwing up? This O looking thing.</p>
<p>The music..the heartbeats..I don&#8217;t want him to go! Gotta hope he wins after seeing the parade and I just remembered his wife died last year! You gotta keep him on!</p>
<p>Kris with a K.. he gets free cheese deep for life! Isn&#8217;t Arkansas the 2nd fattest state? I wonder where the knive thrower is? How is she dealing with all these screaming girls at her boy?! Dad and song, hugging&#8230;emotion. Oh there she is!! At the parade! smiling as usual, with that &#8216;i&#8217;ll slice you up&#8217; look in her eyes! I&#8217;m telling you, PHD in crazy peeps! Reminds me when Archie sang &#8220;Imagine&#8221; last year at Murray High. Special.</p>
<p>The votes are in, in fact a huge number of votes&#8230;take a seat next to RDJ!</p>
<p>Jordin Sparks, how am I supposed to breathe with no air?! New single, Jordin vs Blake was a strange year in AI. Jordin is looking good! I&#8217;d marry her just so she could be my personal rebounder during shootarounds! I mean, this is officially I am finding JS attracive. She&#8217;s pushing the s e x at me and I&#8217;m buying! Bilemia can cure any weight problem. I think Lil is taking notes! No way Chris Brown was hitting her during their duet..JS would have body slammed that kid in no time.</p>
<p>&#8220;He IS&#8221;, got a topless streaker at his apperance! And he&#8217;s doing eye liner on the on the meterologist! Wow! He&#8217;s already got his rock star arrogance about him too..almost like, &#8216;ya, I&#8217;m legit!&#8221;. Bet he doesn&#8217;t cry, he won&#8217;t. RDJ and Kris K are weeping&#8230;this kid isn&#8217;t going to shed a tear from those perfect eyes of his at all. In fact, this is probably an F-You visit for &#8220;He Is&#8221; after years of taunting!! Look at me now San Diego! I&#8217;m here and I&#8217;m queer!!&#8230;and I just got my own day!! So far, no tears&#8230;1st time I&#8217;ve ever seen this! THey always cry, this kid..nothing! Disgraceful, at least fake it! Kat McPhee cried and I didn&#8217;t think she would&#8230;I hope he goes home now! It&#8217;s officially on!</p>
<p>Katie Perry wearing an &#8216;Adam Lambert&#8221; cap?! I hope he really goes home now! Please&#8230;the community is out in full force to make sure he gets onto the finals. Breakthrough. Does anyone else think a camel is about to show up? I mean, those low angle shots are tripping me out a bit!</p>
<p>Moment of truth..2nd Kevin Bacon sighting of the night. Here we go&#8230;wow, sweat. The 1st person in the finale is&#8230;is&#8230;KRIS!!!! Deservedly so&#8230;Knives is happy! RDJ has to take out &#8220;He Is&#8221;, this has to happen!! Wow, this was supposed to be the finale..and now ..it won&#8217;t..the next finalist &#8220;He Is&#8221;!! Well&#8230;can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m surprised&#8230;Kris/&#8221;He Is&#8221;..it will be incredible. I hope Kris wins it.</p>
<p>RDJ&#8230;staple of the show, and for some reason I am getting emotional watchign this one. Thought he would win it early, he&#8217;ll make a fantastic album. What&#8217;s crazy, is someone as talented as him, not making the finale and yet it&#8217;s justifiable. The cougs are out&#8230;Paula and Kara got that &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna suck your earlob to this song&#8221; look going on.</p>
<p>Well&#8230;we&#8217;ve got the finale. The set up was there for this. They let RDJ go 1st, always a bad omen&#8230;they criticized him even though he did well..agenda #2 and Simon all but guaranteed &#8220;He Is&#8221;&#8216;s spot in the finale by publically calling for America to vote for him. Despite all that, apparently only 1 million votes separated them. Kris is more relevant, more current than &#8220;He Is&#8221;.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t figrued him out yet, he&#8217;s demonstration of complete lack of emotion during the parage when I want my top 3 crying like an ugly girl on prom night, was unacceptable. While I&#8217;m not a fan of Kris&#8217; wife, because of stability issues, I&#8217;d buy his album, that&#8217;s right..I&#8217;d pay money for it. Now, I won&#8217;t because of the revolution that is LimeWire illegal downloads, but that&#8217;s how much I like it.</p>
<p>My pick. Kris. My original pick, RDJ. Before Daughtry, I picked 4 out of 5 Idols..A.D&#8230;After Daughtry..0-3. America got it wrong then, and I&#8217;ve never been the same!</p>
<p>Stay Thirsty my friends&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This RD is brought to you by, &#8220;Drag Me to Hell.&#8221;</p>
<p>Top 3, one of the biggest nights in the AI year. Who will win? Who will survive and advance? Buddy..present&#8230;Tivo, check&#8230;Dos Equis surrond sound? Stay thirsty my friends&#8230;</p>
<p>Parades!! Get excited! The cast of &#8220;Lie To Me&#8221; is in the hizhouse&#8230;was that Sheryl Crow? Solid Top 3, song choice will be everything. Simon called &#8220;He Is&#8221; the biggest star the show&#8217;s ever had. Huge praise and the notion that he&#8217; bigger than Daughtry is incomprehensible.</p>
<p>Did Paula text anything else to RDJ besides the song choice? Cougar! RDJ, singing &#8216;Dance Little Sister&#8217;. Loving the beat, and he&#8217;s in it to win it! Great vocals, powerful and in his zone. Loving this song, his confidence is impressive. Lil doooh dooh doo doo beat boxing going on. I feel like I&#8217;m at a concert, I mean with the Dos Equis surround sound you feel like you&#8217;re there!! Best performance from RDJ this season, brought it out!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;you know Paula,I liked that song for him cause it kept his &#8220;money spot&#8221; right there the whole time&#8230;you&#8217;re a great singer, but am i going to remember that song tomorrow? And I don&#8217;t think I will.&#8221; Kara, already throwing out the enuendos!</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;Moneey Spot&#8221;</p>
<p>And we&#8217;re going to Arkansas! Go Hogs!! &#8220;Apologize&#8221;, now that&#8217;s a song choice! I think Paula tried to sabotage RDJ&#8217;s chances. Oh loving&#8230;possible illegal download! Archueleta sang this with One Republic last year in the finale&#8230;dope tight. Oh, digging this vibe!! The beat is off the hook. Current, hip..commericial&#8230;darkhorse! I hope he wins, officially! I feel like I&#8217;m at a concert! Afterparty. 10 out of 10!! I just gave him a standing ovation to Kris with a K!! Song of the compeititon..surpasses &#8220;Alone&#8221; from Allision.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Chris, i think it was a competant performance..but i think at this stage you&#8217;ve got be swinging it out of the park, you gotta hit it out of the park! wanted you to make it more your own, make it fun, sit out with a guitar, acoustic&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Kara to Simon, &#8220;You&#8217;re going to talk to me about interpreting?! You ever interpreted a song in your life? No, i didnt think so&#8230;oh please..who are you?</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s just trying&#8230;acoustice guitar..ride it out straight..&#8221; Direct quote&#8230;and Kara still being dirty!! Cougar!</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;SHut up!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Buddy to Kara if she ever tried to cover his mouth like Simon&#8217;s, : I mean get the bleep off&#8217;!</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221;&#8230;San Diego? I thought it was San Fransisco? &#8220;One&#8221;,a song Bono called Simon to tell him it would be great to sing that song. THis could be lighting folks. have to give my girl props!! Dramatic, passionate, filthy&#8230;amazing.</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221;..Where Creepy Happens.</p>
<p>IIlegal download! Incredible song, amazing performance..wow!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Adam, you&#8217;re a strategist..an amazing straegitist..you just proved that you can take a song, change up the melody and instruments and make it your own&#8230;you didnt just sing it like Bono you did like Ad- am!&#8221;</p>
<p>Is &#8220;He Is&#8217;s&#8221; outfit Hypercolor?! And if so, why is the color changing towards the bottom of his jacket? You tell me?</p>
<p>On to Africa, or &#8220;Animal Kingdom&#8221; in wonderful Orlando, FLO RIda! Who knows the difference. Did tney really fly her to Africa?</p>
<p>That Carrie is so skinny!! Oh, I just hate her!&#8221; &#8230;.a direct quote from &#8220;He Is&#8221; overheard backstage during the clip of Carrie in Africia.</p>
<p>When celebrities talk to the poor people, it&#8217;s always kind of awkward. &#8220;Could you guys get Malayria?&#8221; People, &#8220;ya..&#8221; CW, &#8220;cool..i&#8217;m glad you got the mesquito nets.&#8221; Instead of that wouldn&#8217;t be funny if they said, &#8220;You know who I am? I&#8217;m kind of a big deal!&#8221;</p>
<p>RDJ, round 2&#8230;make it powerful mi amigo. Joe Cocker, great choice. This could be special. Feel like this version will be playing at a dentist office near you sometime very soon. I&#8217;m actually a bit bored, oh here we go..he&#8217;s starting to bring it! About time bud..He&#8217;d get laid if he sung that to a chick&#8230;that&#8217;s how you know it&#8217;s good!</p>
<p>And Andy Roddick apparently in the RDJ posse. Assist to Buddy for pointing that out.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Everything you didnt do in the 1st peformance for me&#8230;you did for me in the 2nd&#8230;stunning&#8230;absolutley stunning.!&#8221; I do tend to play better in the 2nd half than I do in the 1st Kara, so I&#8217;ve been told. Why thank you.</p>
<p>Kris with a K! Darkhorse&#8230;and my boy&#8217;s doing Kayne! Wow! You had me at &#8216;Heartless&#8217; Kris! Kayne is the truth, this song is legit. Risky, because Kayne is a legend. Only on AI can a country boy do Kayne! Did they acutally consult wiht him about Kris singing it?  Kayne, &#8220;Hell no, ain&#8217;t no hick whiteboy gonna sing my song mot#$blee&#8217;ers! George Bush does not like white people!&#8221;</p>
<p>Catchy and da bomb!! Brillant song choice, hip, current, unique and he just completely made it his own! I see him performing this next year on teh top 6! Buddy, &#8220;Bleep yeah!&#8221; 2nd standing ovation of the night!! Unreal! Look out knives!!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;why didnt you do that with Apologize..thats what we were looking for..you know what, it was bold, it was brave it was fearful..kudos! kudos! perfect..the tone, the pitch..the phrasing..100%! whew!&#8221;  Somethings into our favorite judge tonight! </p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;I think Adam might go.&#8221;</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;I agree&#8221; after I told him he was wrong and RDJ is going home.</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is, &#8221; you&#8217;ve done Queen, you&#8217;ve done Cher&#8221;&#8230;.&#8217;Cryin&#8217; from Aerosmith! Relevant for his voice, going last so the judges want him in the finale. INcredilbe song, if you scew this up i swear!! This performance is why I&#8217;ve learned to not shower before I watch AI&#8230;Screaming!! I do not know what to make of this kid! Got Mick Jagger&#8217;s tongue! What do you do? I mean, he&#8217;s talented, maybe the most on the</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;Got to be Kurt Russell&#8217;s son..looks just like him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Buddy&#8217;s dad 4 Christmas&#8217; ago to his son, &#8220;We got box seats to Cher..whose in?!&#8221; </p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;how do you hit those notes and still talk the nexts day. Who hits those notes? Adam Lambert!!..you know, it&#8217;s amazing and what can we say..see you in the finals?&#8221;  That 1st part was direted towards me!  Rise and shout, the Cougars are out!! Yes!!</p>
<p>Simon just telling everyone to vote for &#8220;He Is&#8217;..that is a 1st, never heard that before!</p>
<p>Performance of the night was &#8220;Heartless&#8221;.. Best top 3 ever, everyone brought it..but ultimately, we say goodbye to RDJ. They didn&#8217;t set him up to win, going 1st. Historcially no one whose ever gone 1st on the Top 3 show has advanced to the finale. Actually, I just made that up! haha!</p>
<p>Kris vs &#8220;He Is&#8221;..</p>
<p>Stay Thirsty my friends!</p>

Tonight is one of those times&#8230;the return to the Idol stage of the man, the myth..and yes&#8230;(wait for it&#8230;wait for it)&#8230;the legend&#8230;a man, who needs no introduction, simply to be announced as&#8230;Daughtry&#8230;.</p>
<p>Tape Delayed from Hollywood, brought to you in stunning high defintion and dolby 5.1 digital sound, the highest quality sound available today and by&#8230;Cyprus Hill&#8230;.Buddy&#8230;check&#8230;tivo controlled check&#8230;lets do this!</p>
<p>Thhhiiis is the result show..the inal 3 will be determined, the fate of the banking system, rests in the decisions of the millions..</p>
<p>&#8230;THiiiss&#8230;..</p>
<p>Issss AMmmerRicann IDooollll!!!!!!</p>
<p>Read a report that said RDJ was going to be on his way out tonight, disagree. Think it&#8217;s going to be Kris with a K..</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221;, &#8220;I think I hit them with something they weren&#8217;t  ready for.&#8221; Understatement of the season. That happened Week 1 bud.</p>
<p>64 million thousand votes were registered last night&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;No Doubt&#8221; is here as well!! For the 1st time ever, our own thebomb.com, Randy Jackson is going to perform with Paula Abdul.</p>
<p>FORD Commericial&#8230;.like the memory of a bad girlfriend, these commericials remind too much of BK! I miss him, Thickness, 7-11&#8230;.luckily, &#8220;He Is&#8221; is still around, otherwise who would I blog about?</p>
<p>Slash is perfomriing wiht the Idols&#8230;I thought Kris was going to grind up on Allision, prompting the 1st ever, Post Jerry Springer knife attack on live today from Kris&#8217; &#8220;I&#8217;m not as happy as I look&#8221; wife on La Curacao&#8230;throw some dirt on them, add water&#8230;and you got yourself a party!</p>
<p>Why do I feel Slash should have a rubber tube around his arm and a needle with him right now? At least, Allision isn&#8217;t as weird as at 1st. My results?! Seacrest really knows how to personalize the show for me.</p>
<p>&#8220;Glee&#8221; on FOX looks like something &#8220;He Is&#8221; will be starring in.</p>
<p>Will I be going to the Idol concert tour this summer, presented by FORD? I might.</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;Watching Cook and Archuleta last year, was way better than this.&#8221;</p>
<p>He Is, &#8220;I had fun last night and I liked my outfit.&#8221; god bless us all!! Lyza Minelly doesn&#8217;t like that outfit!! I wonder if the commuinity gets together and has Idol viewing parties, which I&#8217;m sure would include Fondu and wine?</p>
<p>Paula was the &#8216;betty&#8217; back in the day! Some of her videos were must see tv on MTV back in the &#8217;80&#8242;s..err. &#8217;90&#8242;s . For the kids&#8217; 411, MTV used to show videos&#8230;no serious&#8230;</p>
<p>And now we have 2009 Paula, lipsyncing like normal, but looking like the &#8216;cool&#8217; mom at a hip hop class at LifeTime Fitness. Back to lipsyncing&#8230;.where are our standards? It&#8217;s all good is <em>Idol</em> opening admits lipsyncing, but heaven forbid if two black guys in dreads make a Grammy winning album, but because they lipsynced, some&#8230;ok, alot&#8230;they are treated like Canadian steriod users in the Oympics, stripped of not only their awards, but their dignity,  outkasted from the industry, and end up selling helium ballon tanks on the streets of Etowah, Tenn. But, Paula does it and..no&#8230;she&#8217;s &#8220;working it!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;She&#8217;s working it for an old lady.&#8221;</p>
<p>love, live, sing, dance&#8230;.Paula..</p>
<p>&#8220;No Doubt&#8221;..let&#8217;s make a kick a$$ album, fight, break up, have our lead sing go solo, break up with her guitar member boyfriend, marry Gavin Rossdale, then come back 8 years later when the prime is past and play together. Nostaligia&#8217;s in though. Never figured out if the guitarists&#8217; hair is dyed blonde or if he&#8217;s just an incredibly tan surfer dude who happens to look cocoa. Gwen doing pushups, &#8220;where my girls at?&#8221; &#8220;He is&#8221; is to your left G funk!</p>
<p>Love &#8220;No Doubt&#8221; in fact just illegally downloaded &#8216;Don&#8217;t Speak&#8217; the other night.</p>
<p>A massive tour, international , worldwide</p>
<p>Seacrest, &#8220;so we can we expect a no doubt record anytime soon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gwen, in a are you kiddng me tone, &#8220;that&#8217;s the purpose of the toourr..&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Hell&#8217;s Kitchen&#8221; on FOX. Wanted to get into that show one time, when my cable went out and all I had was Channel 13&#8230;but even then&#8230;</p>
<p>Showing last year&#8217;s Archie parade in Murray. Has it been a year since I was on the 30 yard line of the high school filed screaming like a little girl at a NSync concert as Archie took the stage?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s got to be Kris with a K to go home&#8230;</p>
<p>Allision&#8230;as the music that you would love to play in your office, after calling an employee into it&#8230;think about it&#8230;.just sit in silence as the AI results music plays!</p>
<p>Seacrest to &#8220;He Is&#8221; , &#8220;And Kara dubbed you a &#8216;Rock God&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>One is going to safety&#8230;and NOPE!! RDJ will be going home afterall..Kris is safe! Going back to Ar Kansas.<br />
Buddy, &#8220;I think RDJ stays.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who cares, Daughtry is up&#8230;.must be Spring cause I can feel the butterflies! And they&#8217;re going to show one of the most upsetting moments in television history..the night Daughtry got voted off! And now we get replays, in high def&#8230;3 years ago, this week&#8230;I just got chills hearing the replay of Kat McPhee staying, as she looked on in disbelief knowing it should have been her!!  It should have been her!!!!!</p>
<p>What is SoundScan? His record is the biggest seller in SoundScan history?  This blog is the most read blog in the history of  BlogScan.  Amazing feat.  Bonus Album! And we&#8217;re getting a 2nd album this July! My birthday&#8217;s in July!! Yes!! New single, &#8220;no Surprise&#8221;, ah this has all the makings of an &#8216;F-You&#8217; perfomance for Big D, ala J-Hud a few weeks ago. Voted off? Kat McPhee is having babies with 60 year olds and Elliot Yamin got braces&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s tough to watch him on this stage&#8230;returning to the scence of the crime. Who won that year? Oh ya..Taylor something&#8230;Eye Test..who&#8217;s a star? The man, the myth, the legend or that goof ball, greyed hair spase who only got on the show in the 1st place by lying about his age?</p>
<p>Song is kicking a$$!! Daughtry cried, prior to singing the national anthem at the NFC title game in &#8217;06. Told you all you need to know&#8230;.last year Brad Pitt introduced Daughtry during the finale, creating the single biggest bromance television moment in my life.</p>
<p>Buddy, &#8220;Kind of funny Taylor Hicks hasn&#8217;t done bleep!&#8221; Great minds think alike.</p>
<p>Seacrest, &#8220;How vivid is that memory of the night when you knew you were going home..&#8221; How dare he force Daughtry into such an emotionally vulernable position! </p>
<p>Daughtry, &#8220;I got over it about 30 seconds later&#8221;&#8230;.oh.yet I still carry it with me? Mmhh&#8230;</p>
<p>A plaque, that Daughtry&#8217;s album has sold over 5 million copies world wide, international yo!! Take that Fantasia!!</p>
<p>The 2nd person to safety is &#8220;He Is&#8221;!! No surprise there&#8230;interesting, will RDJ&#8217;s fanbase prevail&#8230;wow, the nerves..the tension&#8230;Danny&#8230;.you are SAFE!!! Wow!! Allision is going home! 2 guys and a girl&#8230;to duke it out for the title of YOuuuurrrr AMmmmerriiccannn IddoolL!!!</p>
<p>Carrie song that I love&#8230;.Allisoin&#8217;s mom, &#8220;..danielson..is going to be a bigg star.&#8221;</p>
<p>I thought Kris should have been the one based on performance, I thought Allision would have stayed. Rock night was her pipe&#8230;.Back to final exams at JFK High Allision. You cna&#8217;t go back to school now can you at this point? Just thought of an Allision-Taitana duet, magical.</p>
<p>3 shots of Kara with this, &#8220;i love you Allision&#8221; look in her eyes, kind of creepy. Maybe the 2nd best contestant to ever be eliminated in the top 4? She brought it all season long. Her rendition of &#8220;Alone&#8221; has been my favorite to date this year.  Darkhorse&#8230;And now she&#8217;s acting weird again&#8230;</p>
<p>Ever play the game of &#8220;pick the product each contestant could push&#8221;&#8230;think about it.</p>
<p>BK-RayBans, High Def Plasmas, Gericurl..</p>
<p>Allision-Cabbage Patch Dolls or hustling Lazboys at La Curacao..</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221;-Maybeline&#8230;tampons, most novelty items at Spencers Gifts, J-Lo Jeans..the list goes on and on</p>
<p>Kris-those Japanese knive sets you see on tv&#8230;in addition to musicial spoofs for your &#8220;Local Fayetteville Chevy Dealer&#8221;</p>
<p>RDJ-he could push cocaine and other hard drugs, clean up his act then star in an action movie from a 3rd tier comic book character.</p>
<p>Thickness-hair extensions&#8230;Popeyes Chicken..</p>
<p>Taitana-psychic infomercials</p>
<p>Alright&#8230;Top 3, I believe if you reference my top 3 predictions blog circa January, you&#8217;d find that&#8217;s exactly what I predicted..however, I turned on my 1st intutition and replaced Kris with Allision.  Did that another time right before I got married&#8230;paid for it! But, its the journey..not the destination that counts!  $4k in therapy later and I can say this&#8230;</p>
<p>Stay Thirsty my Friends..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rock week on AI&#8230;that means it&#8217;s Slash from GnR!! ANd Seascrest just flashed gang signs to me..as he&#8217;s coming very live to us today.<br />
Apparently an accident occurred on the set..one of the signs fell, causing there to be no run thru..why tell us that? Now I will be extra cynical&#8230;</p>
<p>What? Duets? 6 world class songs and we&#8217;re doing duets? Wow, they really are trying to change it up this year. As I am typing this, &#8220;He Is and He&#8217;s not denying it&#8221; comes out looking super gay tonight.</p>
<p>Slash is the man! Legend, icon&#8230;I&#8217;ve never heard him actually talk though, almost like the Kenny G of rock n roll&#8230;so this will be interested him to verbalize things. Ah, there he is&#8230;talking away.</p>
<p>Oh ya, &#8220;He Is&#8221; will be doing his best Axel impersonation toinght. Here we go..</p>
<p>and Kara doing her best punk rocker impersonation&#8230;she&#8217;s hot!!</p>
<p>&#8220;He Is&#8221;..he wants to kill it. I just showered, but my lord, I feel dirty. Buddy, &#8220;He&#8217;s a great singer..but..i don&#8217;t know..he&#8217;s creepy.&#8221; I do envy his eyes though&#8230;no man should have eyes that look that good, ya I said it. What song is this btw? I don&#8217;t even know, oh wait, it&#8217;s Zeplin..wouldn&#8217;t know..Buddy, on if &#8220;He Is&#8221; has a man part, &#8220;who knows if he does though, that&#8217;s the question.&#8221;</p>
<p>Screaming&#8230;strobe&#8230;screaming&#8230;strobe&#8230;I feel like I&#8217;ve just been violated lyrically. Is this even possible&#8230;Yes it is! Nice song, kind of crazy..good pipes though.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Adam, you&#8217;re more than a rock star..you&#8217;re a rock god! The record you should making,should be hard rock, no body else has it, you have the vocals for it, go kill it! Yes, yes, yes yes!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Allison..wow, holy make up! And we&#8217;re finding out Allison adn &#8220;He Is&#8221; share the same stylist. And she&#8217;s doing Joplin..I&#8217;m liking it already. I can&#8217;t believe this girl is 17 years old&#8230;.her voice, is crazy good, incredible. Anything, black and leather is the truth, give her a 9 on the vocals, a 10 on the pants&#8230;and I think she could be..dare I say it..the darkhorse.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;You know, janice is the right choice for you..blusey rock..piece of my heart, could have seen that..ya, could have seen that..where you nervous tonight. Heres the thing your personality, you&#8217;ve taken some hits&#8230;i think you transfrorm when you come on stage&#8230;I see your personality when your on stage, so i give you props.&#8221; Kara, giving props.</p>
<p>Duet..Kris with a K&#8230;RDJ..Daughtry performed this song 3 years ago&#8230;I like the duets, but honestly, why are we doing this? RDJ doing his best Bo Bice microphone impersonation&#8230;Kris is out of his element, not is forte. Love the song, not loving the duet, it sort of sprang up on me, I was expecting individual performances, and instead I get VHI Honors going on. Why mess with something when the formula works. Who do I vote for here? I mean,</p>
<p>Kara,&#8221;them singing renegade, i mean, &#8220;Renegade&#8221; doesnt compute for me..they&#8217;re like the guys helping the little woman acorss the street for me..they&#8217;re not like..wanted&#8230;together it was united..and strong.&#8221; United and strong?</p>
<p>RDJ, &#8220;I think we overcame it.&#8221; Why does theshow have a black panther feel going on with some of the quotes?</p>
<p>Kris with a K&#8230;doing the Beatles tonight. This is going to sound like a performance for the Rotary club at the local Holiday Inn, just getting that feel. He doesn&#8217;t have the voice to kick this imo&#8230;Love his voice, but he&#8217;ll be going home this week. The genre is too much for him, it&#8217;s not believeable. Buddy, &#8220;I thought this was Aerosmith?&#8221; And he would be correct. Look no further than the &#8220;Armageddon&#8221; album to find this one. Great movie btw..it passes my movie test&#8230;whenever it&#8217;s on cable and I stumble upon it, I end up watching it.</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;Kris, you defintely are the softer side of rock..and i can see that you tried to bring that tonight..for me, this wasn&#8217;t a great perfromace..i just thought it was trying too hard, it wasn&#8217;t the best song, i just think there&#8217;s more than what you delievered tonight.&#8221; Trying to be something you aren&#8217;t huh Kara? Interesting&#8230;.</p>
<p>RDJ&#8230;&#8221;Dream ON&#8221;&#8230;incredible song. This has the makings of being something special. He&#8217;s up last, time to bump it. Here we go&#8230;&#8221;Dream on!!!!&#8221; Girtty, rocking&#8230;I hope he wins it all, I really do. The falsetto will make or break this song&#8230;a lil doohh, doohh, doohh&#8230;.Don&#8217;t know if he nailed it, sound a bit horse&#8230;but what the hell!! Rock it out!! Strobes, music, strobes!!</p>
<p>Kara, &#8220;danny, i think you took the swaga commment and added more edge to your performance..but i think you took it a lil too far..i like to see growth, and i like to see risk..and i like to see edge..rock n roll is about being bold and going for it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clevage alert!! Abdul is really laying it out there. Cougar.</p>
<p>What we&#8217;ve all been waiting for&#8230;the duet of Allison and &#8220;He Is&#8221;&#8230;.&#8221;Slow Ride&#8221;&#8230;crouch alert!! &#8220;He Is&#8221; is apparently wearing a cup tonight&#8230;If there was ever a train wreck moment on AI, it&#8217;s right now. What is going on?! Ever think about lighting yourself on fire just to feel cleansed? I feel this right now!</p>
<p>Kara,&#8221;rock god, rock goddess..this is when a duet is right..when your pushing each other.&#8221;</p>
<p>Overall, I don&#8217;t know what to make of tonight. Duets are nice, but what am I supposed to make of it? Who to vote for?</p>
<p>I think Kris is going home, this genre was tailored made for him to go home where it was customed for &#8220;He Is&#8217; to scream.</p>
<p>And tomorow&#8230;the man, the myth&#8230;the legend&#8230;Chris Daughtry. It&#8217;s like Christmas in May!</p>
<p>Stay thirsty my friends&#8230;</p>
