While doing search for American Idol articles I ran across this. Now don't slam me due to where it comes from, but I was curious to see what they had to say about Ace so I decided to read it. Some of it turned out to be pretty funny... They "bash" on all of them but this writer favors (favored) Chicken Little and not Ace.
Here is a few tidbits...
(the article is 3 pages long)
Seacrest introduces the top 11 and they all trot out to take their applause. Pickler seems out of it. Shes got dead-eye face until she remembers shes on a stage where people can see her, not hiding in a fort she made out of the box the washing machine came in. Thats when she turns on the Pageant Grimace. Its a small moment, but itll return for an encore later
Paula is standing, dancing, waving her hands in the air, like she does, and then Taylorhip cocked out, shoulders hunched, neck squooshed down, and left arm contorted into a triangleends with a note of seriously bugged-out finality, his left hand zapping the judges with what can only be Invisible Magic SaxophoneFortified Love Me! Jizz, impregnating them all with adoration for Whatever the Hell That Was He Just Did.
Cut to a child yawning in the audience"
This is solid comedy.
>>>This weeks special celebrity oldster is Barry Manilow. Barry is, after all these years, still phenomenally popular. He was the Clay Aiken of the 1970s, but even more successful than Clay, in an era when it was still impolite to publicly speculate on the sexual orientation of a male performer, even if he played piano for Bette Midler in gay bathhouses. Barrys latest CD, a collection of boring cover versions of 1950s songs, is the number 1 record in the country.<<<
That's OK. Barry is on his way to becoming a Gay Gazillionnaire, like Liberace. He has just re-upped his contract for his Vegas Show, until 2008.
I thought Manilow was very gracious with the AI kids. He is always on the lookout for new talent for his successful enterprises, so the kids would do well to be nice to him.
And shes great tonight, finally singing softly with some guts instead of just foghorning her way through it. When she opens her mouth wide, though, you can see that her tongue is all orange. Someone was snacking on Cheetos, Sunkist soda, and circus peanuts before the show. Afterward, Paula says, You took me right back to the 50s. Except that Paula wasnt even born then. Then Seacrest, in an archetypal Type 3 Gay moment (see last weeks recap for an explanation of Type 3 Gay, because I dont have time to explain it again), coos over Mandisas shoes. Cut to Mandisas well-pedicured toes for the second time in as many weeks. You just know that every dude in the country with a thing for BBWs and feet is having a very good TV-watching time tonight.
