American Idol 2007--Live Thread (Part II)

To: silent_jonny; conservativebabe; Sue Perkick; All

Hi, all! I'm not sure if I will be around on time tonight. I've got to take Mr. RK to get his shiny new car!!! I truly believe in America our most fun things are Disneyland and getting a brand new car. I told him we had to get this thing done tonight so I could be around tomorrow. LOL!!

Anyway, I saw this over at The Best Week Ever Blog and it cracked me up!

10 Things We Won’t Care About During Tonight’s American Idol Finale

10. What Jordin will be wearing during her big finale. 1 guess: Grecian gown. Next.

9. The celebrity guests in the audience. Lisa Rinna? Jennifer Aniston? Yawn. J.D. Salinger could be there with Shiloh Pitt slung in a papoose round his bod and we’ll probably be too busy playing minesweeper to blink.

8. Scatting. How many “Doo-be-doo-ba-ba-dah”’s can Blake Lewis throw into a song that isn’t the Full House theme music? The answer? Snooze many.

7. How invested Simon Cowell is in tonight’s show. He knows this is the worst finale in AI history, so he’s either going to give the blandest critiques of all time because, as well all know, his heart beats coal’s blood, or he’s going to give Jordin the biggest confidence boost in history. Either way, we’ll be sifting through our cat’s litter for fool’s gold.

6. The lyrics to the always cheesified finale number written specifically for the American Idol winner. If the songs “A Moment Like This” or “This is the Night” are any indication, tonight’s tune will probably be called “How Lucky Can a Bitch Get?” Expect Blake to sing it beautifully.

5. Ryan Seacrest’s jewel-encrusted lifts.

4. Paula Abdul on 3 times as much pain medication as before, thanks to her broken nose caused be her dog Tulip.

3. Cowell-Seacrest sexual innuendo. (Fine, we’ll be a little interested in these last two…)

2. Whether or not the perma-fake-grin hot glued to Jordin’s face will lock for eternity, or last only til the end of tomorrow night’s episode. Why don’t we also group in with this one “What color will Blake’s hair be?” to be fair, though it’s the phony-smile that peeves us to no end. Then again, we don’t care, right?

1. Who wins.

Funny, kittie. I know the answer to #2...Blake is back to being a blond.

Dave Barry's Blog commenting during last night's 24 drama...UPDATE: I still can't believe Melinda got voted off American Idol.

P.S. We'll miss you tonight; make sure Mr. RK takes you for ice cream in your new car!

That’s pretty funny! Obviously a wise person who has actually watched to show complied the list. All true. #6 made me laugh out loud. :-)

YAY!!!!!! on the new car!

RK...

Good luck with the new car!

My son’s spring concert at school is tonight so I probably won’t be getting home much before 8:30pm. I’m going to tape the show and watch the parts I miss during the commercials on “House.”

I’ll check in on FR some time tonight. I’ll be looking forward to everyone’s comments even more than the show.

Now on to check out last night’s “24” comments.

LOL! I love Dave Barry. I heard a rumor once that he was a lurker here on FR. If he is out there, he needs to stop by this thread some time!

Sadly, this car is going to be his to drive and considering I was raging harpy when we bought my car several years ago (I wouldn’t let him drive it at all. I finally relented on his birthday and let him drive it to Arby’s. I told him if his stupid beef and cheddars ruin my new car small it’s his @ss!) I don’t anticipate him allowing me to drive this one...ever. ;-)

ITA. I will miss you all more then the show. Tuesday's finale show is always dull anyway. You're son's concert will probably be a million times more entertaining.

As soon as I read it I knew I had to share it with you guys. No. 8 had me cracking up, too.

Full House is a running joke between me and my husband. His 42 year old sister is a huge fan...still. Remember the stupid, “Cut. It. Out,” thing that the blond dork did? It still cracks my sister in-law up to this day.

*your not you’re!!!

I hate when I indulge in my own pet peeves.

Tony, don’t hurry home...there’s no House tonight. The finale is on next week. Tonight is that “On the Lot” thing.

Dave is great...if you're lurking, hi Dave!

And forget about men and ice cream and new cars--I can still hear my father screaming to this day.

Sorry about the Sanjaya pic, folks. Don’t know why the red x comes and goes. Anyway, see Col. George's post above with the spoiler link.

Simon is definitely going to have something to say about this.

Some odd humor from IDF.

I’m laughing far more than any of these deserve.

I'm not sure if I will be around on time tonight. I've got to take Mr. RK to get his shiny new car!!!

It better be buying a Cadillac or a Lexus or something :)
