Great season Jonny — thanks for all you do! See you next season (Season 14).... BEST!
.
Well, here we are at the end of another Idol season. As always, it's all of you that make this thread so enjoyable. You're the reason I keep coming back, not the show.9 years we've been doing this ... I don't know how much longer Idol (or our interest in it) will last, but if you'll indulge me, I'd like to make it an even 10--at least--before we call it quits.
So I hope we all meet here again in 2015!
In the meantime, we have the 24 Thread going, and all of you are welcome there.
God bless you always.
Jonny
As always, you are the best host EVAH! This would NOT be the same without your hilarious pings and your witty recaps!
Thanks everyone for making American Idol watchable this year! You all are why I (among many) return to this thread year after year. You are the snarkmeisters of Free Republic! And in these sucky times in which we live, this is such a welcome respite!
Without any snark whatsoever--
Happy Dance! He’s been my favorite since the start....
Love you, jonny...thanks. So much fun...you are truly special.
Oh thank you :) I hope you’re doing well.
Mercifully no. I really enjoyed the show tonight, in no small part because she wasn't there.
LOL!
Yep. Without the braces and glasses, she looks completely different.
LOLOL!! That's like the crystal meth of glue :-D
Thanks Jonny for a great season and being a wonderful host.
You attract us all here to share in some fun and good times.
Well done... On to 10
Thanks for hosting this thread. I watched tonight for the first time this season, if it weren’t for this thread I would not have bothered. Thanks for the snarkiness, the jokes, the humor..you guy ROCK! See you on the 24 thread!
Thanks to all the snarkers for making this thread more entertaining than the show! And thanks to Jonny, our stupendous host! I will really miss this thread until we meet again for Season 14. God bless all of you, till then!
Hi back atcha, Jonny! I loooooooove love love your Bauer painting. I bet Kiefer would love it too.
If we were judges, how fun would that be?! I don’t know the first thing about singing, but, “Alex, I know this isn’t proper to say on national TV, but I do think you’d be more comfortable if you used the lavatory before going on stage.” Yeah, I’ll take the job.
Caleb wins! Most excellent.
This is the second straight season where a contestant came back after being rejected in prior seasons before the live shows.
Perseverance pays off. :-)
Awww, Gary, I hate to see it go! I’m gonna miss all my snark friends! Thank goodness we still have Bauer Power Hour! Mr. Busey, do you think we can talk Jonny into doing a summer show when 24 ends?? Maybe America’s Got Talent? Lots of snarkicidal material there!
Looking forward to seeing Harry’s headbob. I’m sure it’s done in precise musical notation.
Now I am watching Meat Loaf go into the portable toilet stall / horse race gate that is secretly a metal detector for his initial audition. Going to watch Idol then rejoin the thread cause I don’t want to be spoiled.
LA Kings played tremendously tonight!! Now for the Finale.
I said I wasn’t going to snark during but I can’t not. Jeeeena is wearing her pink maxi pad outside of her clothing.
And I like meat Loaf’s “let’s break some necks and cash some checks.”
I think JLO has had her crotch surgically raised so she can wear shorter skirts.
(I’m always “responding” to your post in my pings so as to be careful not to join the actual thread and be spoiled.)
Little Sammy and his hat are back. Singing with Phillip P. Phillips, who isn’t bad. Just a little forgettable. And the great thing is that just as a song gets slightly boring, right when you think you can’t take another note, there will be JLo. They are giving us extra JLo. That makes everything all right. It’s like the spoonful of medicine. Or maybe it’s like the palate cleansing sorbet. Not sure. But obviously we need her.
