this year is going to be interesting.
After they BOOT all those lame ass girls we'll finally have a show to watch...

best quote ever

2007-01-17T21:31:00.000-05:00

"SIMON CAN KISS MY A**, I DON'T LOOK LIKE A MONKEY"

It's Official

2007-01-16T21:23:00.000-05:00

This is my favorite quote of the night:

"The song don't even go like that!" - Randy Jackson

They're Baaaack!

2007-01-16T20:42:00.000-05:00

I'm already delighted by the crackbaby of Minneapolis and Randy's schoolgirl laughter. Smualtinyb and I have already been on the phone three times and it's only 42 minutes into four months of Idolatry.

We're off to the races, kiddos! Start posting.

the train wreck that was last night

2006-05-25T10:38:00.000-04:00

other than taylor winning, of course.

pick spitting out an escargot and putting it under her chair? and then the close up shot of it?
WTF? and that hair cut?

kat and the LOAF? (but she did sound damn good)

toni braxton skanking it up (and even taylor recoiled in horror as she tried to get him to feel her up)

did teeth get to sing more than 2 bars in his duet with mary j?

and just how many hits did burt bachrach write? that medley went on FOREVER. smaul tiny said pussy cat far too many times.

i grow nauseous with the thought of the gay aiken look alike, and of that hair claw that clay ws sporting.

alright so with that, who wants in on tickets to see the idol tour?

2006-05-22T12:50:00.000-04:00

Happy finals week, everyone. May the best Kat win...

does anyone know

2006-05-22T11:56:00.000-04:00

My sweet Yasmine Teeth:
Idol has a cavity
now that you are gone.

In other news: Go Kat! Throw yourself on the floor and writhe around, girl!

danger! danger! loose tooth!

2006-05-17T09:54:00.000-04:00

(mega74 made me promise that I would post today with that title.)

ladies, we are having an orthodontic emergency. we sat on my couch last night, bemoaning yasmine teeth's impending exraction. paula must've had a cracked molar with her choice for him.
only immediate dental intervention will save him from the cavity he's fallen into

(mega74, did I get all the puns we cooked up last night?)

might I also mention that we have now determined that Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock should henceforth be known as Piano Keys and Tandoori Hamhock?
(don't ask, just laugh)

Caacker...finally

2006-05-16T15:41:00.000-04:00

Here's the scoop on who's singing what tonight*. Of course, they are also singing a song of their choice...

Taylor Hicks
Clive Davis' Choice: Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen
Randy Jackons's Choice: You are So Beautiful to Me by Joe Cocker

Katharine McPhee
Clive Davis' Choice: I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly
Simon Cowell's Choice: Somewhere Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz

Elliott Yamin
Clive Davis' Choice: Open Arms by Journey
Paula Abdul's Choice: What You Won't Do For Love by Bobby Caldwell

I'm so happy we get to see Taylor do some Joe CAAAACKER!

Happy Final Three Week, Idol fans!

*Thanks to Dlisted for the scoop.

because back in march, i predicted chris, mandisa and katherine in the top 3.
only katherine is left, and i think we all know (even she thought) that she should've been gone last night. hard to tell which of 'em will win. i'm still going to go with katherine to win it.

Smaul tiny b got 2 out of 3.... well done!

have I mentioned that because of you (STB), i now call clyde "smaul tiny c"?

anyone else wanna guess at the winner?

I just cast my vote for Yasmine Teeth. May the best tooth win!

2006-05-01T11:51:00.000-04:00

for those like me who just remembered to look at AI.com
the kids will be singing two songs tomorrow night

opera?

2006-04-20T09:06:00.000-04:00

So clearly we're all happy that ACE is the PLACE is gone. Definitely not a shocker, but i'm already waiting for Pickler to be voted off next week so we can finially have a real competition.
So, i was a little nervous when George Michael told us about Andrea Bocelli, i don't think these idolers should be allowed in the same room as him. Rod Stewart yes, Andrea Bocelli NO.

Should make for a very interesting week though - can't wait to see Andrea - i'm a secret super fan!!!!

Bewildered

2006-04-19T10:09:00.000-04:00

So I had notes from last week's show (Queen) and I was so bored by them that I didn't post. This week, no notes, but I agree with the superstar connection machine, Saqette, our little Idols were pretty compelling last night.

Random observations:

Everyone's eyes were super sparkly. I need the AI lighting designer with me at all times so I can glitter and woo with my eyes like Kat or Taylor.

Paula is extra-Botoxed and mouse-y.

Ace's hair = the mother on Little House on the Prairie's hair.

PICK SUCKS.

Old standards are great and any bunch of fools can sing them and sound good.

Bottom Three:
Ace
Pick
Yasmine Teeth (even though I heart him--America is superficial and can't get past the grill)

Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?

2006-04-18T23:12:00.000-04:00

Hey, Idolatrees! No Tuesday comments? I guess we - - along with Miss Pickler and the rest - - are fading fast. But wait! Tonight was actually much better than the last couple of weeks. Besides, I for one, actually like (or liked) Rod Stewart. Plus my sister's daughter goes to school with one of his little daughters: my own personal Sad Saquette Six Degrees of Saqaration.

Whoopee

2006-04-05T13:37:00.000-04:00

So it was country week last night, and I surmise that this theme was chosen to keep Buck and Pick around for another week. We've now entered the danger zone of really bad people being kept in...let's start voting, people!

In the audience, we have Whoopie Goldberg and Chris Rock with his kid on his lap. I guess they love that country music. Yee-haw!

This is also the week the America gets a glimpse at the mummy formerly known as Kenny Rogers. What happened to him? His face is pulled tight and the color of a ripe peach. His hairdo resembles a white Clay Aiken sprout. At least his beard is intact.

First up we have Taylor, who Kenny says is "weak" during the pre-performance clip. Whatever, Peachface! Then Taylor sings, and he looks weirdly uncomfortable, shaky, and medicated. No jumping, leaping, or screaming. I guess Kenny broke him down. The only thing mildly entertaining about his performance is the manic long-haired male fiddler of insanity who he shares the stage with.

Randy is wearing a flaming red vest and matching eyewear. Bro, your Journey days are long over. Please stop.

Mandisa is up next and looks like a giant picnic blanket. Memo to Mandisa: stick with black. Her performance is strained and it's pretty obvious (duh) that she and country don't match.

Ryan's hair and George Michael 5-o'clock shadow are extra gay tonight. Ry tries to say something snippy to Simon, who, in turn, says the BEST thing ever: "At least I'm not trying to look like a desperate housewife. Lose the beard." Oh SNAP!

Yasmine Teeth is next and smaultinyb had to call me and say "Teeth looks GOOD this week!" True dat. He also sounded amazing and I love him. He is sweet and has a bit of the white boy soul hip hopper thing that is madd endearing. Memo to Yasmine: stop with the two-handed death grip on the microphone. Chill, homes!

Paris, looking like a black Peggy Fleming in lederhosen, is next. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Why do the AI producers encourage our Idols to start or end their songs by sitting on a stool or a step? Anytime I see that nonsense, I know it's going to be horrendous.

Speaking of horrendous, Ace is next. He tries to throw some falsetto in at the end, and of course Paula eats that shit up. In the clip of Ace & Kenny, they look like a very happy couple, wearing shades of lavender and sparkling their eyes at each other. Who says a May-December romance can't last? Don't forget, they share the power and passion of lame-ass girly-voiced love songs.

Pick is next, looking wooden, cross-eyed, and bored. And like a drag queen. She begins her 5 minutes by emphatically dispelling rumors that she IS smart. She really thinks "salmon" is pronounced with an L, ya'll! Pick sings some song about being white trash (I'm not kidding) and Kenny must be bisexual because he loves him some Pick. The judges think this is good music for her - no shit, whatever.

Chris and Katharine are next, which means that they are closing the show with Buck! Christ. Chris, wallet chain firmly in place, sings a ballady thing whilst perched on a stool. It was good, despite the stool, and he finally showed the Softer Side of CD. Loved it. No mention of bird-murdering, however.

Kat looks gorge, sings like a pro, sasses around the stage in cool jeans, and still, Simon says he didn't like it. She, sweetly: "Oh Simon, you just don't like country music!" and gives him a kagillion-megawatt smile. He agrees and clap clap clap we have made it to Bucko.

He sits. He wears a big hat. He sings Garth Brooks, I think? Wake me when it's over.

My Bottom 3:
Bucky
Paris
Ace

America's Bottom 3:
Ace
Mandisa
Taylor

It's time to start voting or else we'll be left with a Buck/Pick face-off for the title!

Final note: I have no idea what song anyone sang tonight. Which is weird and not good for ratings. Let's hope Queen week will have us singing along in glee...

Snoozefest Part Deux

And I thought things couldn't get worse than last week.

Live From UPN Land

2006-04-03T21:46:00.000-04:00

So I switch away from Supernanny for one second and spot a familiar face on some UPN show about two sisters that work at a record company. One of our remaining Idols proceeds to woo the office with his song styling and create some drama between the sisters, prompting the token gay office assistant to say "He has a chin dimple that I could curl up and take a nap in!"

Who is this dreamboat?

And, is this fair for the voting?

Know When to Fold 'Em

2006-04-03T13:19:00.000-04:00

Thanks to Pop Candy, I just found out that Kenny Rogers will be tomorrow night's guest arranger/mascot for country week. Groan. I can just about hear the lulling strains of an "Islands in the Stream" duet by Buckster and Mandisa. The only saving grace is that we won't have to hear Sack's rendition of "Lady".

Also from Pop Candy: next week - the songs of Queen. Think about that for a minute...who will choose "Fat Bottomed Girls"?

he's a bird-dog

2006-04-03T08:48:00.000-04:00

Has anyone else heard about an incident w/ Chris D and a bird??

I heard something on the news this morning but didn't catch the whole story - it's something about a woman claiming that Chris killed her bird??

What the hell??

11:08 am
Admin: Here's the bizarre story. Poor Sweet Pea!

Kat-ku and musings on last night.

2006-03-30T11:30:00.000-05:00

Kat hits rock bottom
Never point at the yoni
Good thing Lisa sucks.

An all but expected departure for Lisa. But shocking that mother bucker wasn't in the bottom 3. He;s a shoe-in for staying at least another week with the country theme for the next episode.

And can someone get Ace to stop bowing like a japanese man? He deserves to be kicked off for many reasons- the hair, the hats, for showing off his scars, for trying to look smoldering, for not being a very good singer, and for the damn bowing. I tire of his presence.

Yawn Fest

2006-03-29T09:47:00.000-05:00

Oh, hello there. You startled me! Wow, I must've been lulled into a deep sleep by the flat performances (and hairdos) of our usually-at-least-mildly-interesting Final 10 American Idol contestants. I think I fell asleep during Ace's warble, was roused momentarily my Mandisa's shrill high notes (and high hair), had a terrifying vision of a flesh-colored faux-leotard/vest ensemble, then went right back to sleep.

You know how after you have a nightmare, you want to tell someone about it? OK, so the Buckster actually sang well, and looked like a lil' backwoods country star. Both Katharine and Mandisa managed to be boring and screechy at the same time. Yasmine Teeth looked attractive for the second week in a row. I think I heard the theme song from One Tree Hill. Ace's hair went from a full-on Constantine to a Peggy Flemming after a sit spin. Both Paris's and Lisa's hair and heels had grown by at least 10 inches. And the judges hated Pickler. It was all so strange!

Bottom Three:

Bucky
Lisa
Pickler

It's Lisa's week to go...

Mystery Solved

2006-03-24T10:43:00.000-05:00

For those of us who have wondered how contestants like Red Sack (Season 3), Pig Boy (Season 4), and Smaul Sack (present season) could remain in the competition for as long as they have, the mystery is now solved.

Discuss.

Target Practice

2006-03-21T10:34:00.000-05:00

My heart sunk when smaultinyb shared with us the news that the kids would be singing "hits of the 50s" this week, and that Barry Manilow was somehow involved. Is FOX's target audience my 66-year-old father? My 86-year-old grandmother? And if so, why would the older set want to watch a bunch of kids sing these so-called "hits" off-key when they can throw their Four Seasons Greatest Hits CD in the stereo?

Don't the FOX execs realize who watches their show: tweens-twentysomethings and a few aging hipsters (ahem). Why can't they come up with something more compelling than "hits of the [f***ing] 50s?" Some suggestions:

Power Ballads of the 80s (picture Mandisa screeching Skid Row's "I Remember You")
Indie Rock One Hit Wonders (Kellie Pickler does The Breeders' "Cannonball")
Scatting Queen's Greatest Hits (Yasmine Teeth "Zee Dop Zoon Bop the Champions"

You get the idea :)

2006-03-20T16:29:00.000-05:00

ok - clearly smaul tiny (kevin) MUST go home this week, however I agree that it will be a battle to the death between him and Buck-o tomorrow night...

Here are my top 3
Taylor
Mandisssssa
Katherine

Winner : Mandissa (go girl!!!)

predictions?

2006-03-20T11:58:00.000-05:00

so if tomorrow night is all about the 50s, then I'm guessing Bucky won't do so well. Any takers on a bet that Paris will come out in a poodle skirt?

other than mega, no one has listed their top 3 or 5. here's my predictions...
top 3
Mandisa
Chris D
Katharine

with the winner: Katharine.

anyone else???

This Time, In Fact, Meant Goodbye

2006-03-16T13:37:00.000-05:00

Well, my prediction for Sack's booting from the show did not come true, but Melissa isn't much of a shocker. I must say, though, that I would've much rather listened to Melissa another week. The thought of Sack "sexing" up some show tune turns my stomach.

Melissa -- thanks for the memories. One last question: why did you have to wear the old lady neckerchief hoochie wrap tie halter shirt thing for your last appearance on Idol?

As for the Bottom Three: Lisa and Ace, if you think about it, didn't really do so hot on Tuesday. The judges like them and they are ostensibly likable, but, in the words of Randy Jackson, they've GOT to step it up to stay in the competition. It takes more than a pretty face, kids...

Anyone know what the kids are singing next week?

It's a sad, cold night in MA!!!!

2006-03-15T21:19:00.000-05:00

A Saq trumps an Ace any day of the week!

First Night

2006-03-14T22:26:00.000-05:00

7:58 PM
I'm breathless with anticipation...and actually watched the horrible Kimberly Caldwell from Season 2 interview rabid AI fans on the TV Guide Channel. I've got a glass of Pinot Noir, my computer, and a half-baked plan to sort of live blog the First Night of American Idol. Stay tuned...

8:00 PM - top of show
Ryan Seacrest is decked out in a gayboy 80s suit. Fancy! "aMERican Idol!" he screams. Here we go...

YES. It's Stevie Wonder night, there are 1,000 lights on the stage, and the kids in the audience are waving their handmade signs. During the retrospective of the contestants' journey, I can't help notice that Sack's small bangs are actually better than the crewcut he started out with.

Oh God, here they come parading onto the stage, freshly styled. Kellie's sporting a touch of class, Bucky's blowout is terrifying, Lisa has extensions, and small tiny bangs are coiffed up into a Clay Aiken-esque point (they are even dyed a reddish color).

Does Paula Abdul look more like a wax figurine than usual, or is it just me? She breaks it down by saying the Top 12 is "well-diversed." Hmmm.

The Stevie Wonder retrospective (if you're keeping score, that's retrospective #2) is good, especially the clip of him singing "I Just Called to Say I Love You" into what looks like a Swatch phone. He says about AI: "it brings lots of people together in the spirit of song." True dat.

Ace is first, cries a little talking about Stevie. His hair is looking more and more like Constantine's. Gross. When he sings, he does the boy band breathe out between every phrase. His performance is not so good, but he has the awe-inspiring confidence of a hot person, so it's tolerable. A shot of brother Deuce! Sweet.

I'll stop here by saying that each contestant gets an obligatory pre-song pointless retrospective and an inane post-song Ryan Seacrest interview. These elements add about 1 hour and 20 minutes to the show. Thanks, FOX! Like I have nothing better to do.

Anyway, judges like Ace kind of and Simon starts with his crowd-insulting by saying that they are "easy to please". Love it.

A thought crosses my mind: do I start voting this week? Decisions, decisions.

8:14 PM - first commercial break
We are back with the newly classed-up Kayleee (it's only polite to pronounce a person's name as they themselves do). She looks like she can't breathe or walk. Which is really cutting down her skill set. She sings a boring song, in tune for once, and I actually thought it wasn't so bad. The judges like her shoes. 'Nuf said.

Next we have the excellent Elliott (Yasmine Teeth), who has sung pretty damn well...until tonight. He resembles David Byrne in the "Burning Down the House" video. He sings a beauty of a Stevie song, "Knocks Me Off My Feet," but delivers it in a weird high pitch. He's nervous. He cried when he met Stevie. AW! Judges say he was nervous, not his best but good, blah, boring.

Mandisa (jazz hands!) next.

8:29 PM - second commercial break
Ryan takes off Mandisa's shoes for her, which is necessary because her poor plump feet were struggling to break free of her bedazzled strappy spike-heeled sandals of death. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

She sings, she screams, she kicks ass. She is large, she is lovely. Judges love her. Welcome to the Top 5, Mandisa!

Seacrest: "Next, Bucky gets superstitious!" Christ.

8:38 PM - third commercial break
The Buckster states that he has never listened to Stevie Wonder. When I come to, he is singing one of Stevie's greatest hits, "Superstitious." WTF! His hair is all Breck-girled out. He is grunty. He does a weird squat dance when he sings, which I will christen the "Number Two." He ends it with a strange Michael Jackson-esque dance move thing with a pointed finger in the air and the judges like him sort of. Simon says his hair looks like Jessica Simpson. Bahhh haa ha!

Another break? WTF?

8:48 PM- fourth commerical break
Melissa strolls out in a dress, sporting blond streaks like everyone else except Taylor. More on that later.

She flubs the lyrics to "Lately" in front of Stevie Wonder, then does it again on stage. Funny, though, that she remembers this part of the song: "'cause this time could mean goodbye." Goodbye Melissa!

8:59 PM - fifth commercial break
Lisa, looking like a tiny, young version of Rae Dawn Chong, sings "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," arguably one of the best songs of all time, and manages to make it sound like a death dirge. She is cute, so she'll be fine, but I was not impressed. Kick it up a notch, girl!

9:08 PM - sixth commercial break
Stop. Sack Time! Holy shit he is singing "Part Time Lover." NFW. Not only is that not the best song in general (super 80s), but it includes the repetition of the word lover about a thousand times. Noooooooo! He says that he is going to "give it a little sexy feel." Excuse, me, I have to run to the bathroom.

I finish barfing just as he finishes up. Randy's laughter can be heard through the final bars. They laugh and Simon says he was appalling. Why does America keep a sack in the competition every year? Really, it's cruel. Put the poor thing out of his misery.

9:19 PM - seventh commercial break
Here comes the lovely and talented Katharine, one of my picks for Top 5. She looks like she's wearing a silver paper towel roll, but her skin is so blindingly perfect that it doesn't really matter. She totally kicks ass as she sings "Until You Come Back to Me." She rocks, I love her, what the hell else is there to say? Oh yeah, judges love her too.

Taylor next - oh happy day!

9:29 PM - eighth commercial break
Taylor, hair cut to resemble Michael Keaton from Family Ties, takes the stage. He sings "Living for the City," screaming, yelping, shaking, punching the air, almost falling down. It's great. He does a little rotato dance where he punches the air with both hands as he spins around. Love it.

Judges love it too, Ryan asks him if the stylists want to dye his hair. No! Then, R kids and suggests blond streaks (everyone, even Mandisa, has them).

Thank GOD, no break, and we go right into Paris. She is looking cute (although a little choked by her pink lace turtlneck) and is looking her age (16). She performs really well, is fun, sings great, blah blah. She's in Top 5. The best thing about Paris is that she sings through Ryan's pointless interview. Go girl!

9:44 PM - final commercial break
Chris "D" is up and he says that he never knew that Stevie Wonder sang "Higher Ground" and that he thought it was a Red Hot Chili Peppers original. I start to hate him. He sings this song, and the band is freaking out with obnoxious Metallica-esque guitar solos drowning out CD's screamy singing. I like CD, I do, but he's getting a little boring for me - everything he sings sounds the same. But, he could win the whole thing...and I do like to see him rock a wallet chain. His sssssideburns, however, are hideoussssss. They look like esses.

Judges love him of course and say: "Thank God for Chris." I say: "Thank God the show is over."

I've decided I'm not voting because I have faith that natural selection will take care of Kevin (Sack), Melissa, and Bucky in Weeks 1-3. Then I may have to start voting.

Predictions for Top 5:
Chris
Katharine
Paris
Taylor
Mandisa

Please send your predictions.

Can I go to bed now?

Best of luck to our beloved:

Mandisa
Paris
Lisa
Bucky
Katharine
Kellie
Elliott (aka Yasmine Teeth)

My guess: next week: bye bye, Sack!
