Goodness, Courtney Love has gained a lot of weight. But at least she's sober.
He daughter is sorta cute.
I'm 46 and just bought Diana DiGarmo's CD.
There actually was someone, but I cannot remember who.
The main single, should Carrie win, will be Angels Brought Me Here-- her last song last night and a #1 single for the first Australian Pop Idol (Guy Sebastian). It's the only catchy tune of the night and AI knows it's a hit song already. They can really polish it up in the studio, and you won't have Carrie weeping at the end. I promise it will be fantastic (if you appreciate pop music). Mark my words.
What a jip! Doesn't AI have the money and resources to create a new song?
Courtney said that Carrie didn't play the guitar. No one corrected her.
10. Paula Abdul goes ballistic in Orlando, when it appears that the immortal Dezmond Meeks wasn't going to advance to Hollywood. Saying that Meeks did James Brown "better than James Brown," Abdul whined and moaned and screeched before snapping "I feel like quitting the show."
The temper tantrum made for good television, but it likely contributed to the what's-wrong-with-Paula story that served as a sideshow all season.
9. Mikalah Gordon tells Simon that if he doesn't make sure she advances to the next round of the Hollywood auditions, he'll have to take her to the prom. It was that kind of bizarre goofiness that the judges loved about her, before she abruptly appeared to enter an aging machine and emerged singing old, boring songs.
8. Simon tells semifinalist Amanda Avila, "In a second life, I want to come back as your microphone." Though it conjured up images better left unspoken, it would serve as an ironic indicator of the intersection between sex, judges and Idol contestants that would emerge later in the Paula Abdul-Corey Clark mess.
7. Mario Vazquez had emerged as one of the early favorites and easily made the final 12 ... then abruptly quit for the ever-vague "personal reasons." Was it a better recording offer? Family issues? A secret conspiracy by Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith to get his son Nikko back in the competition? Who knows.
6. After hearing her cover "Alone" by Heart, Simon tells Carrie Underwood that she'll not only win, she'll sell more records than anyone else in the history of the competition. Nothing like going out on a limb. Of course, given that he also told Bo Bice that it was his competition to lose, Simon's guaranteed to be right either way.
5. American Idol is a multi-million dollar business ... and yet, they can't afford the 20 bucks for someone to proofread the phone numbers before they're shown onscreen? That's what the audience had to be wondering, when a series of misprints on the March 22 broadcast forced Fox to rebroadcast the performances again in order to get an accurate vote count. Of course, given the ratings the show gets, we might be seeing more of these "snafus" down the road.
4. Nadia Turner shows up in a Mohawk to perform "Time After Time."
3. Constantine Maroulis sings "Bohemian Rhapsody." Maroulis took more risks than anyone with his song choice, but this took the cake. Not only did he have to match the standards set by Freddie Mercury in Queen, but also those set by Wayne, Garth and the rest of the car in the movie "Wayne's World." [LOL!]
2. Scott Savol staring down Simon after another round of criticism. This happened every week, so it's tough to pick just one instance.
1. Bo Bice forgoes the band and sings "In a Dream" by Badlands a capella. There aren't too many Idol contestants who could have pulled that off, but if Bice winds up winning this, that performance may be the one that made it happen.
So who is the favorite here? Have we voted?
Yes, but how many will be Old Navy Super Skirt (to the tune of Super Freak) commercial and how many will be those annoying Coke commercials with the kids making the phony documentary?
He'll never know what hit him...LOL
I know the Nanny didn't think Mikalah sounded weird.
I think it's a 50-50 split, but Bo is favored by the Zogby exit polls, LOL :)
Don't know how it will turn out, but the rumor of Seacrest sleeping with Simon has had the judges releasing a reply in the news that they ALL have slept with Seacrest....
Awwww,,I love his tail!
Speaking of Mario Vasquez, whatever happened to him?
I'm 63 and just got Voodoo Child, that Jimi Hendrix album and a rap one by Master P {I am not senile!}
What a cool graphic! One of your best ones yet. Perfect for Memorial Day.
I thought of you yesterday. We were heading out and I saw the "Voldermort would vote Republican" car again! The persom must live around me.
YIKES.......let's hit 10,000 tonight!
