Diana Ross sounds weird, and I think she took a few sips out of Paula's glass.
I tuned in late. I think I saw Phil in the bottom 3, and the last spot in the bottom 3 will be either Sanjaya, who should leave, or Haley, who I picked to leave last week in my ultimate week-by-week predictions.
Won't be surprised if Phil goes home though. Ooh, Brandon is the other one in the bottom 3. Heck, I'm not gonna be shocked or sad if any of these people leave.
Sanjaya is in the bottom 3! I love being wrong.
Phil is safe. It's GOTTA be Sanjaya that leaves. Come on.
Sanjaya is safe. Brandon is gone. What the heck is going on?
I had Brandon leaving on April 4 - after Haley, Sanjaya and Phil. So, the bottom 3 are in my top 4 to leave. So maybe I'll get them all out of order, but the top 8 should be about right.

Miscellaneous Musings, Idol Edition
Not only is this shaping up to be the worst crop of talent in American Idol history, but it seems to be the most talked about season to date.
Thursday morning I was driving to work when the WDVD Morning Show began by talking about Wednesday night's performances. Apparently "Blaine" loves to tease the girls about how much he loves Antonella. Well, I got out of work just a couple hours later, and as soon as I got in the car, they were still or again talking about the show!
This morning I went to Denny's, and all of a sudden, as if it were the first season of Survivor, I overheard "Did you hear who got kicked off?!?!" They talked about it for about ten minutes. Now, since I do watch it and blog about it, obviously I'm kinda guilty. And I do talk about it with people. It's just insane that I don't remember people talking about the better artists more.
The Morning Show is now playing an interview from Lakisha. They did pause for a few minutes earlier to talk about Tom Brady and Britney, but thank goodness they're back to Idol!! Right? I now get back to hypocrisy by continuing to post my thoughts on Idol.
Hahaha, did Frenchie really use a coke bottle?! Ew.
Anyway, I promised my predictions. I reserve the right to make predictions based on performances on the spot, but I wanted to take a stab at the order in which they will leave now.
March 14 - Haley Scarnato
March 21 - Sanjaya Malakar
March 28 - Phil Stacey
April 4 - Brandon Rogers
April 11 - Stephanie Edwards
April 18 - Chris Richardson
April 25 - Gina Glocksen
May 2 - Chris Sligh
May 9 - Jordin Sparks
May 16 - Melinda Doolittle
May 22 Finale - Blake Lewis vs. Lakisha
Lakisha wins.
This is tough. I really don't even see Blake lasting that long, but... I don't know who else can. Like I said, it's a strange season. That would be an interesting finale though, with two really different singers. Blake could possibly make one of those horrible exclusive Idol songs entertaining. I'm not thrilled over anyone really. Everyone is saying Melinda is going to win right now. Well, I should say that Simon said that and everyone wants to agree with him to make it sound like they know what's going on. I actually wouldn't be surprised if she left much earlier, the way this season has gone.
We'll see.

Thursday... American Idol... The Top 12 Revealed
This.... is American Idol.
To recap, my picks to leave were Sundance, Phil, Antonella and Haley. Even though I hope I'm wrong and Sanjaya leaves.
Group song. Man, this season is so boring! Hopefully Carrie Underwood can save it tonight.
I wonder how comfortable those upside down salon hair bowl seats are.
With as many viewers as they have, do they really need these recaps? I know they have to stretch the show to fill an hour, but come on.
Girls and guys together? Hmm. Let's go.
Lakisha and Blake are first, and they're obviously going to be in the top 12.
Chris Sligh is not.... going to find out until after the break. Oh geez.
I think Ryan feels like Howie stole his thunder with the whole commercial cliffhanger thing, he's bringing it back.
Bones is new next week? American Idol moves to 9:00. Woah!
And now, Chris Sligh can finally sit down.
Jordin "Zap" Sparks is young and safe. The youngest ones always seem to last.
Phil needs to go. Damn, he's safe. But maybe there's hope for Sanajaya leaving now.
Jared could be gone though. I didn't think to pick him, but he hasn't been that great.
I know one girl who is happy to see him go! I don't think he sounds as bad as some of them, though. His song is kind of ironic.
Slippin! 0 for 1 tonight, 5 for 9 so far, I think. I'll have to go back and check. After tonight I'll be making a post and picking the Top 12 and how they will go home in order. Idol's website had a game like that last year. I'll try to find and post my picks.
Melinda and Brandon are both safe.
Gina Glocksen! and Chris Richardson should both be safe. Yup.
Aw, here comes Carrie. I can't describe in words how upset I would have been if Bob Ice beat her. Yeah, I call him Bob Ice. I want to find that picture of her with the Grammys. It was adorable. It's gotta be a little surreal for her, and the others that come back. She was just one of however many people trying to win that year, and she comes back being one of the biggest names in her genre. That's a pretty big leap.
Antonella, Haley and Sundance are all still vulnerable. Sanjaya is over there too, as is Stephanie and Sabrina Sloan. Wow, that's a lot of S.
Antonella and Stephanie. I can't see them both going home. Antonella is out, about three weeks too late for some. I don't think she is surprised. Maybe she'll compare herself to Jennifer Hudson again!
Haley and Sabrina up. I don't think they'd send two home back to back, so they should both be safe. Or, maybe not. Haley is safe! I'm about to throw something. Gina better win this whole damn thing now. I've never had a favorite leave this early.
So, two I picked to leave are already safe. One left, and the other is Sundance. And just to mess with my picks more, I bet Sanjaya will finally leave. Those are the only two left. I'd rather have Sundance stay one more week, but I want my percentage to go up!
Let's see what this announcement is. Oh, 200 episodes. And they're going to end poverty? Hey, that kid is better than Sanjaya! So, they're going to donate money for every vote cast on a certain Tuesday (I missed the date) and then people can donate themselves on Wednesday. BORAT is going to be on! That's funny. I assume he'll be in character then. Which seems a little weird when they're trying to make people aware of how bad things really are. If you've seen Borat, you weren't treated to a history lesson.
'Til Death is still on the air? Wow.
Sanjaya is still on this show? Wow.
VTFW even told people to vote for Sundance. Ok, I didn't like his performance, but Sanjaya hasn't even been average yet! This is an INSANE top 12. I can't believe one of these people is going to sell millions of records (because people WILL buy whoever the heck wins, regardless.)
2 for 4 tonight. 3 for 4 in Week 1, 2 for 4 in Week 2. Which makes me 7 for 12.

Wednesday... American Idol.... Top 8 Girls
Top 8 Girls. I wish the top 12 could include 7 of them (minus Antonella), because the guys were suckin'.
Here we go.
"Our most groundbreaking Idol project"? Ten bucks says it's the Idol Camp they already advertise on their website.
I missed what Randy just said. It's a live show.
Jordin starts it out. She sounds better without the backup singers. She kinda blends in when they're going so you can't really tell how she is doing. Randy thinks it's hot and dope. Paula likes her zzzzzzzzz, and Simon is once again not thrilled, but she will 100% be here next week. I think the judges now pick comments out of a hat from the past five seasons.
Sabrina is better than Christina, haha. Oooh, except for that note. Wait, this isn't a Christina song. Oops. En Vogue. I think she's kinda losing it and trying to do too much. Still better than the guys. Randy isn't thrilled, Paula thinks she can sing (wow, great insight) and Simon thinks it lacks emotion and it sounds like a hotel performance. But without hesitation she deserves a Top 12 spot.
Here comes Antonella. I actually hope she does great and everyone has to re-think their position on her. Haha, position. Oh no, Corrine? Gonna be tough to compare. It's weird when people try to do songs that are currently on the charts. She actually sounds pretty good though. Randy thinks it's ok, Paula is tripping over her politeness, and Simon says goodbye to her in so many words. She always looks confused when Simon says something bad. Randy thinks she can sing better than she shows; it seems like she thinks she IS better than anyone. I like her singing better than her attitude.
Haha, American Idol lottery tickets. Man, they can sell anything.
I've never heard this song Haley is doing. For some reason, it has the sound of a Christmas song. Eh, not much better or much worse than what we've heard so far. It ended a bit abruptly. Randy wants more "Wow" and "Yo!". Paula regurgitates Randy's comments. Simon thinks it's horrible. Woah, he hasn't used such a big insult like that since the auditions. Ryan is trying to make her feel better and give her some pity. Simon backs off a tad, but thinks it may be her last performance.
Stephanie is wearing an American Idol t-shirt in her interview. Haha. She should make the Top 3 girls easily. But if she has a bad night, people will remember it more. She did seem "pitchy" as Randy might say. And there it is. "Chaka done sung it. It not gon' be sung like that no'mo'." It's amazing that Randy can say all these neutral-to-negative comments and Paula says nearly flawless. Simon thinks she is one of the best but is copycat.
Lakisha (or LaKisha?) wants a hug from Ryan. Hmmm, who should he choose between her and Chris Sligh?
Oh boy. Randy goes on and on about these popular artists and now Lakisha is doing a Whitney song. He's either gonna say it's hot, or start another rant about how anyone he's worked with shouldn't be copied on the show. Or, "another great performance." I wasn't thrilled. Simon says she brought passion and believability. Didn't mentioned "charismar," though.
I think Fox really wants me to watch Wedding Bells. Ok, they talked me into it.
Gina Glocksen! Still my favorite name. She's only wanted this for the past four years? Hmm. Another chart topper here. I think this is her kind of song though, even though I'm not a big fan of it. It's hard to like it now when I don't even like it that much with Amy Lee singing it. She'll make it to the top 12, though. Randy agrees with me, and so does Paula, and so does Simon, but they all think she might have oversang it a tad.
First shoutout to the band in weeks!
Why does Melinda bore me so much? She just looks stiff and plain. I don't know. Except now she's all over the place. I think it's the first time someone has walked off the main stage while singing. She's closing the show and it was definitely memorable, so she'll make it. Randy thinks she could make a record right now. Paula pours on the compliments. Simon calls her a tiger.
They better hurry with the recaps so they can show Wedding Bells on time! They've only shown commercials every three minutes.
I'm going to vote for the first time this year. Once for Gina and once for Sabrina.
Top 3 girls could easily be Lakisha, Stephanie and maybe Sabrina. Jordin and Gina could be the dark horses.
Should be an easy pick this week, with Antonella and Haley leaving. Vote For The Worst wants people to vote for Antonella and Sundance, two of my picks to leave. So, we'll see if they screw me over.

Tuesday... American Idol... Top 8 Guys
Quick thoughts this time:
Blake is fun, but dude, stop with the beatbox stuff.
Sanjaya needs to go. NOW. The only way he can possibly make it is if that vote for the worst website bombarded the phone lines for the full two hours. That song is boring enough and he made it worse.
Sundance made the Pearl Jam sound kind of boring too. I don't agree that he screamed it.
Chris Richardson usually does the hip-hop stuff, but his country sounded pretty good, although awkward at times.
Jared was boring too. If he makes the top 12, I don't think it'll take long for him to go.
Brandon - again, boring. The song was upbeat, he should've been all over that stage. He looked stiff.
Phil's song was one of the worst I've ever heard, even on the bad audition episodes. I can't believe how nice the judges were. Wow.
And I'm surprised the judges didn't like Chirs Sligh more. He entertained more than the others and sounded better than most.
Apparently 4 of 10 deserve to make it in. I can't believe Paul didn't say "aww, all of them!" I don't even remember the judges telling 4 people good things. I know Randy liked Sundance though.
Right now, after tonight, I'd get rid of Sanjaya and Phil.
BUT, I have a bad feeling. My predictions are actually going to be Sundance and Phil. Sanjaya will be this year's dirty penny.

Thursday... American Idol... Results Show II
Birthdays, dedications, puppies and porn. Interesting week of Idol. Let's get to it.
(Unfortunately, while taping the show I did see one of the girls who gets eliminated. I'll just pretend I didn't and act surprised.)
Group song! I think they did this same song during Season 1. And it's down to business. Guys are first.
Phil is first, which means he will be safe, and he is.
Chris Sligh is Slafe.
Sundance Head is Sundance Safe.
Blake Lewis is safe.
Jarrod has to come down to the podium! Doesn't look good. But he's safe. Tricky Ryan.
Nick (who I almost picked to go home) is going home. NUTS. 0 for 1 tonight. and 3 for 5 this season.
Wow, Sundance is crying. I guess those guys were tight. Girls' turn.
Stephanie is first. She'll be safe. They need to figure out a better way to do this so it's not so obvious.
Gina Glocksen! Safe!
Sabrina. Come on, Gonzo. Safe. Whew.
Okay, Doolittle. Let's do it. She is comin' back.
Alaina is going home? Wow. First mini-shocker of the season. 0 for 2, 3 for 6
And no, she wasn't the one I saw. I'm not pretending to be surprised here.
What's this playing in the background? It must be a recording... would the backup singers even be there for a results show? aw, Sundance is still crying. He's not going to have a fun year if he makes it far.
Whoops, something fell down and the sound went out. Darn, we missed Paula talking.
Pickler coming up, and trivia. I wonder if it'll be as easy as last weeks. Yep, I think it's pretty obvious. I doubt Taylor won any Grammys and does anyone remember Ruben?
Woah, Kellie has some curls. And some BOOBS. They made her up to look older, I think. She's still very stiff on the stage though. Zzzzzzzzzzz... I wish they would have made her follow the 90 second rule.
More results? Ok. AJ and Sanjaya are both in the front row one of them has to go!
Chris is safe.
Brandon is safe. Jordin is all nervous.
Yup, it comes down to Sanjaya and AJ. It better be Sanjaya. And WTF? I mean, I'm 1 for 2 on the guys but I would have picked Sanjaya to leave over AJ. 1 for 3 on the show, 4 for 7 on the season.
They're gonna show Sundance after every elimination, aren't they?
Well, I already know the last girl going home. (Hint: Sarah Paulson.) but let's go through the motions.
Lakisha and Antonella are quickly safe. the other three stand.
Jordin will be safe, and Antonella is surprisingly also safe. Gina is bawling. Jordin starts crying too as Leslie is gone. So.
I guarantee though, if they gave people a chance to vote for only Antonella or Alaina, Antonella would be gone. But the voting is weird sometimes.
Show Sundance!! Gina's still crying, Sabrina looks like she is holding back. D'oh. The tape stopped before Sundance. Jordin couldn't even look up. Aw.
Tonight: 2 for 4.
Season: 5 for 8.

Wednesday... American Idol... Top 10 Girls
First off, is Antonella a porn star? No. Did she pose for those pictures? It's hard to say. Some look like her, some don't. Let's not dwell on it and instead remember The O'Donahues. Ahhh, incestuous lesbianism. It's gonna be huge!
On with the show. The judges seem hyper tonight.
"Ten superlative performers." That's funny.
More dedications! Woo, this should be fun. Let's make this a little more organized tonight, shall we? First up is:
Gina "Say it with me!" Glockson : Dedication - to her boyfriend. She's singing "Alone." NO ONE will ever match Carrie Underwood singing that song. It sounds like she is singing a different verse though, and she does sound pretty good. I'd like her to stick around. Simon doesn't think she is edgy enough, but they all seem to like the song. I like that she asked her boyfriend to vote for her. Haha. Vote 1 for Gina.
Dixie Chicks and Gladys Knight from Alaina and Lakisha! I wonder which is which....
Ryan is looking at Lakisha's legs. Or maybe he really wants some Coke. I like how she talks - not a lot. Ryan is asking her these questions and she's like "No. Yes. Good!" Some people just talk too much.
Alaina "AAA" Alexander: Dedication - to her mom. Let's see if Paula mentions her range, because she seems to be showing that off. It's supposed to be a well-known song but I don't know it. I like it, but she sounds like she is rushing it a little bit. She's got some legs going on, too. She looks like Mariah Carey meets Jennifer Aniston meets Lori Loughlin. Not well-liked by the judges, Simon thinks she ran out of steam which is kinda what I was getting at. Vote 2 for Alaina.
Lakisha "Flint, MI" Jones: Dedication - to her gramma. Not much to say. She's a really good singer. I just don't think the votes are going to swing her way to the end. Yep, everyone likes her, but Simon nicely told her she looks like a big orange (or salmon?) with legs and to tone it down some. No fingers from Lakisha, good girl.
Melinda "Dr." Doolittle: - Dedication - to her "Gails." Or maybe it's "Gales." Man, I hate when people sing this song. I know it's a supposed classic, but I'm not a fan. She does sound good though and the judges agree. Simon says "incredible." Eh, it wasn't leaving me with chills or anything. I think I still like the previous three girls better. No four finger salute from Melinda, but Antonella is showing hers ahead of time.
Antonella "That's Not Me!" Barba: Dedication - to her brother. Eew, she is totally off beat, and I don't know anything about beats and rhythms. Ouch, the whole thing was "rough for me," to pull out a Randy-ism. Well, perhaps she can go back to not doing amateur porn. I don't think she'll be back. Randy mentions pitch again. Antonella rolls her eyes! That's ballsy. She then in so many words compares herself to Jennifer Hudson! Oh boy.
After the break, Jordin Sparks takes on Christina Aguilera? Hey, I thought Antonella was the porn star!
Jordin "Zap" Sparks: Dedication - to her brother. Apparently the guys were more appreciate of their parents! Woah, Jordin's dentist probably has the easiest job in the world. I always thought this song should be in a Disney movie. Ok, she sounds good. I predict a "big voice" comment coming from one of the judges. Ending is a little rough, though. Aw, she's crying. At least she got through the song first. I don't know if she's as good as some of the past 16-17 year olds, but she seems older. Vote 6! She puts 7 fingers up. Ryan gives a pretty funny "That would really suck!" I wonder if Stephanie is insulted.
Speaking of... I wonder if Ryan will say anything about her cleavage. Which is the only good nickname I can come up with right now.
Stephanie "Cleavage" Edwards: Dedication - to her parents. She's really trying hard, she lost her pitch a little I think and she's out of breath. Ends it with a big WOO! She sang her face off according to Randy. Odd metaphor. She is pretty but I can't get over that Fantasia-like hair. She could use a better 'do. Vote seven.
Leslie "Sarah Paulson" Hunt looks a lot like Sarah Paulson!. Dedication - Late Grampa Bob. Who looks like Mr Rogers. NO WAY! She's doing the same stripper song that AJ's-A-Baldo did! I gotta say, it sounds better coming from a girl. Still not a good song though and doing a duplicate song could hurt her. And so could that doopedeedodowp stuff she just attempted to do. Simon just compared that to Paula talking and that might surpass the puppy comment from last night. 8 for Awkward!
Haley "Holy" Scarnato!: Dedication - to her fiance. Now here's an upbeat song! I haven't heard this song in years. She's rockin the cleavage too. "I don't really care?" Geez, damn censors. Doesn't even make the lyrics rhyme! Ouch, she didn't take Simon's comments well. She's crying! Not good... and she's too busy crying to hold up nine fingers. She's gonna blot later.
Saving my fave for last, Sabrina "Gonzo" Sloan: Dedication - to her granny. She's "like 86 years old." "He's all the man that I need." Not quite the song for granny, but oh well. I wanted her to blow me away tonight but I think she was just good. Little shaky on the ending. Vote ten! I would have if I would have watched the show when it actually aired.
Long recap videos. They must have gotten through the show quicker than they had anticipated.
Like the guys last night, there's three girls I want to pick from to go home. those would be Antonella, Leslie and Haley. But, I think Haley will be safe. So, it's Leslie and Antonella for the girls, and Sanjaya and A.J. for the guys. If Nick and Haley both go home, I'm going to scream for not picking them.

Tuesday... American Idol... Top 10 Guys
As average as the top guys seem to be so far, at least we don't have a Scott Savol in the mix.
Ok here we go. Count how many times they dedicate a performance to their parents.
First up is Phil Stacey. First impression: Tight pants. Did he steal Amy's when she went home? Will that give him bad luck? He sounds better than he looks though. I could probably hear him on the radio already. And I swear to you, Paula just stole my line. She must be reading my blog from the future, live as I type it.
Why do the contestants keep putting up as many fingers as their vote number? If we're deaf and blind or illiterate, I doubt we're watching American Idol.
Jarrod is dedicating his performance to his parents. That's one!
$15,000 says Randy will make some comment about the song being too big for him or not being able to do something with a song from a guy like Marvin Gaye.
Ok, I lose. I'll be paying myself that money slowly, in small increments.
Paula makes a joke at Randy, a sexual joke, and she's drinking her vodka through a pink straw.
Fingers!
AJ's A Baldo makes us 2 for 3 on parent dedications. And he's whispering. why do I think someone should be stripping to this song?
Randy seems easily pleased tonight. I'm not impressed. Don't forget, he's #3.
Please tell me that is NOT Sanjaya as a kid. He was in the top 4 last week. Wow, I wonder if he can fall that far because he looks and sounds ridiculous. He looks like he is reading the lyrics off a teleprompter. BRING HIS SISTER BACK, NO ONE WILL EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
Simon: Did you like him or not?
Paula: I don't like you.
Chris said "crapshoot". I think he meant "sometimes Sanjaya sounds like crap, shoot!"
25:55 I'm surprised I haven't heard a Justin Guarini reference yet...
I'm not really digging the song, digging the song, digging the song. It's repetitive. But I still like Chris.
Haha, Simon said he was too saved by a woman. I can't believe Ryan hasn't gotten a gay joke in there. "You sure it was a woman, Simon? Hyuk Huk!"
Chris kept his hands behind his back! Good job, buddy. Don't wave that hand around showing me what five looks like!
Nick has been with his girlfriend for "quite awhile now." I can just hear her saying "HOW LONG?" This song could put me to sleep, and not in the good way. Simon is snapping his fingers? Hmm. He never does anything! But apparently, Nick lacks charismar.
Charismar this!. And he said Vote for Pedro. Ugh. I knew that wouldn't take long.
Blake dedicates the performance to his parents. That's 4 if you count Sanjaya's grandfather. I'm not really liking it. But hey, he brought the beatbox back. Maybe he knew his singing was rough. Randy likes everyone but Simon feels me. Lucky Number Slevin.
It's a little funny to me that Chris is going to sing "geek in the pink" and Brandon is sitting there wearing a pink shirt. Brandon looks EXACTLY like his grandmother. Weird. Man, he looks like he is reading the words, too. And it's like they took the original song and slowed it down to 1/3 speed.
Simon is going off into a rant about his mom's birthday and puppies. Funniest part of the season so far.
Brandon showed the fingers, but it was covered up by the phone number graphic. Oh no wait. he did it again.
Another grandmother from Chris R! What's that, 6 of 9 I think? I lost count. Hmm, I'm actually liking this one. I'm surprised. I have a feeling Simon is going to ask "what the heck was that song?" Nope, but he thinks his grandmother was thinking that! I feel so psychic today. He thinks Chris was the best by a mile. Not sure about that one, but i haven't been thrilled with many of them tonight.
Hey, there's a switch from Sundance Head. A dedication to a kid! I know this is mean, but remember Scott Savol? The kid kinda looks like him!
Oh no. Not one of the most popular karaoke songs in the world! At least he isn't bombing it. And the backup singers are waxing on and off pretty nicely. Holy crap, that was a high note!
Ok, I'm not as confident in my picks as I was last week, but here goes...
Sanjaya and A.J. will be going home. I was really tempted to pick Nick instead of AJ, but we'll see.
I wish Jeff Foxworthy would go home. Who are all these young girls around him? If ya have five wives under the age of 30, you might be a redneck. Did you know he has his own line of beef jerky? Me neither, but it's on Wikipedia.

Thursday... American Idol... Season 6, Results Show I
Before it begins, I'd like to re-visit my predictions. I actually don't think that Phil Stacey will be voted out. He did finish well and closed out the show, so I think he may get more votes because of that. I'm allowing myself to change my elimination vote from Phil to Rudy Cardenas.
More to come... LIVE!
Aaaand here comes another way-too-long recap. Haley wasn't great either. I won't be shocked if she goes tonight.
Why would Simon accuse Seacrest of trying to date Alaina if he is so gay?
Group song! Tears For Fears - The Seeds of Love
More to come...
The votes are in! But we have another 45 minutes or so to sit through.
Chris loves Simon. Paula almost vomits in disgust.
And here we go...
Oh yeah, I forgot the eliminated get to sing again. What if all reality shows did this? "Mike, you've been voted off Survivor Island. Before you go, please complete all your challenges again. We'll wait."
Here come the girls in the back row...
Ooh, Amy comes up alone and goes home. I am possibly now 2 for 2. But I doubt they'd call Antonella back out there, so I'm probably 2 for 3.
Did she just ask the band if she should start now, or am I hearing things?
More to come...
Paul and Amy are gone, so I'm calling myself 2 for 2 right now, since there is the slight possibility Antonella was only safe from the first elimination.
Wow, the easiest trivia in history. I'll go enter for free online. BRB.
Fantasia is performing. Jebus her mouth is HUGE. Don't swallow the microphone, Fanny! My eyes and ears hurt. I think I'll go do something else.
More to come...
More girls...
You know, I almost picked her, but I think she is very similar looks-wise to Amy and I didn't expect them both to go home. Plus, I thought she was better than at least four girls. So I went with Antonella. Hey, if you consider Leslie a redhead, we're now out of blonde girls! That was quick. Wow, I wrote that whole paragraph mistakingly thinking Alaina left.
Aw, who is going to watch the series finale of the OC? Me neither.
Time is tight, Ryan Let's go!
I love when Paula gets all lovey, saying Rudy has one of the best vocals and Simon is just like "No." Obviously he's right lady, he is leaving. She wants to go give rudy some huggles and kissies.
Is this a Daughtry song in the background? Let's all cheer for no more "Bad Day"!
In summary -
My picks: Paul, Amy, Rudy, Antonella
Who left?: Paul, Amy, Rudy, Nicole.
More to come... LIVE!
- Randy - "It's a girl's race to lose."
- Paula looks "not drunk" again.
- Simon agrees, the guys didn't stand out.
- Bunch of guest judges or performers this year, including J-Lo, G-Stef and T-Ben.
Aaaand here comes another way-too-long recap. Haley wasn't great either. I won't be shocked if she goes tonight.
Why would Simon accuse Seacrest of trying to date Alaina if he is so gay?
Group song! Tears For Fears - The Seeds of Love
- Fix your hat, Phil. Doolittle looks like she just threw some clothes on after rolling out of bed.
- Not bad overall. I'd download that version.
More to come...
The votes are in! But we have another 45 minutes or so to sit through.
Chris loves Simon. Paula almost vomits in disgust.
And here we go...
- Brandon (one of my top guys) is safe.
- Sundance is safe.
- Chris Richardson is safe (ugh).
- Vote for (Nick) Pedro is safe.
- Blake (my #1 guy) is safe.
- Paul Kim is out. I am 1 for 1.
Oh yeah, I forgot the eliminated get to sing again. What if all reality shows did this? "Mike, you've been voted off Survivor Island. Before you go, please complete all your challenges again. We'll wait."
Here come the girls in the back row...
- Jordin Sparks is safe.
- Stephanie (my #2) is safe.
- Sabrina (my #1) is "the one to beat" and safe.
- Leslie Hunt is safe.
- Doolittle is safe.
- Antonella (who I picked to leave) is safe. I'm 1 for 2.
Ooh, Amy comes up alone and goes home. I am possibly now 2 for 2. But I doubt they'd call Antonella back out there, so I'm probably 2 for 3.
Did she just ask the band if she should start now, or am I hearing things?

More to come...
More girls...
- Someone was safe and I didn't hear who. Haley, I think. Yeah, her.
- Lakisha is safe. (duh)
- Gina Glocksen is safe. Simon almost looked nervous with his face in his hands. Or maybe he's bored.
- Alaina and Nicole are left, neither of whom got good feedback.
- Alaina is.... safe. Nicole is out, and I'm officially at best 2 for 3.
Aw, who is going to watch the series finale of the OC? Me neither.
Time is tight, Ryan Let's go!
- Chris Sligh is funny, and safe.
- Phil is second, so he won't leave. Good thing I changed my vote. He's safe.
- Jared is safe, and not the Subway guy.
- Simon still looks bored, or sick.
- AJ is safe.
- Sanjaya or Rudy will be leaving. One is in the top 4. Wow. I bet the girls like Sanjaya.
- Rudy is going home! What a good trade-up I did. This makes me 3 for 4 overall on the week.
I love when Paula gets all lovey, saying Rudy has one of the best vocals and Simon is just like "No." Obviously he's right lady, he is leaving. She wants to go give rudy some huggles and kissies.

My picks: Paul, Amy, Rudy, Antonella
Who left?: Paul, Amy, Rudy, Nicole.
Tuesday/Wednesday... American Idol... Top 24 Perform
I think we Idol watchers were spoiled in the first season with the runaway favorites. Kelly and Tamyra were just that good. I think if this were the first season and this was the same 24, the viewing audience might be closer to that of Dancing with the Stars. The guys weren't good and the girls were only better by comparison. As I was watching Stephanie start out the show on Wednesday, I made a comment to my girlfriend predicting Randy would say something like "The girls are ON TONIGHT!" As the show went on, it was clear they really weren't. Although at the end, in comparison to the guys, I believe Randy might have said they did have it "going on," or "brought it down" or something like that.
Ryan accused Simon of being more negative Tuesday night, but was he? Randy called a lot of the performances rough, and Paula was more often making comments about picking the right song or taking/not taking risks. Simon just happens to be more blunt about it, and makes more references to weddings/theme parks/ etc.
Speaking of Ryan and Simon, their bickering used to be fun. Now, it's just painful. It's as if Ryan wants to have more of it and Simon, rightfully so, is bored with it. And Ryan is becoming RUDE. "Thanks to Randy and Paula, the band, and you, America." Wow, we get it. I actually hope that GLAAD finally makes a formal complaint because of all the gay-bashing they joke around with.
If I gotta pick my top three favorite girls and guys right now, I guess I will.
1. Sabrina Sloan
2. Stephanie Edwards
3. No clue. Lakisha was good, but we've kind of already seen a variation of her a few times, and she never seems to win. She is from Michigan though. So, represent.
I wish I thought Leslie Hunt was a better singer. Gina Glocksen, the funnest name to say this year, might become my #3 if she does well next week.
1. Blake Lewis
2. Chris Sligh (he looked a little awkward on stage though)
3. Brandon Rogers
Sabrina was right, there are too many ballads and hopefully some of the guys will do something different next week, and maybe I'll update my list.
I don't think I'll make my season-long predictions until they narrow it down to the Final 12. But this is probably going to be one of the worst final 12 they've had. I fear it may come down to "who I can stand" between the final 2, kind of like how I was rooting for Diana DeGarmo in Season 3 (Fantasia went on to make such hits as .... her life story in a TV movie). Wow... looking back, I don't see a lot back then either. I was a Jasmine fan.
My picks for the elimination... Simon warned me that the performances wouldn't be memorable, so I'm having a hard time remembering who was bad enough to go. So I guess I'll have to make my picks more on the random side.
Guys to be eliminated: Paul Kim, Phil Stacey. Although, Rudy and Sundance may have been worse than those two. Chris Richardson might have been my least favorite performance, though.
Girls to be eliminated: Antonella Barba, Amy Krebs. I guess. I don't have the highlights to wath back right now. So, there you have it.

I fear it may come down to "who I can stand" between the final 2, kind of like how I was rooting for Diana DeGarmo in Season 3 (Fantasia went on to make such hits as .... her life story in a TV movie). Wow... looking back, I don't see a lot back then either. I was a Jasmine fan.
My picks for the elimination... Simon warned me that the performances wouldn't be memorable, so I'm having a hard time remembering who was bad enough to go. So I guess I'll have to make my picks more on the random side.
Guys to be eliminated: Paul Kim, Phil Stacey. Although, Rudy and Sundance may have been worse than those two. Chris Richardson might have been my least favorite performance, though.
Girls to be eliminated: Antonella Barba, Amy Krebs. I guess. I don't have the highlights to wath back right now. So, there you have it.

Tuesday/Wednesday... American Idol... Season 6 Hollywood Week
I didn't get to see Tuesday's performances. So, I can't pick a favorite yet. But I need to do it early because every time I claim to like one of the finalists, people think I'm going with the flavor of the week or something. I was rooting for Kelly Clarkson and Christina Christian (despite her scary midget belly) early on in season 1.
I don't see anyone that jumps out at me as someone I want to root for. Right now there's 12 girls, 11 guys, and Sanjaya. I think he was lumped in with the boys.
I'm noticing funny names more than the talent so far. Aside from Sanjaya, we have Lakisha, Doolittle, Tranquillo, Glocksen, Krebs, Sundance Head, and of course, well-known porn star Jordin Sparks. Ok, she's not really a porn star, she's only 17. But isn't it the perfect name?
It says on the website that Melinda Doolittle and Phil Stacey are 29. I'm assuming they were 28 when they auditioned, kinda like Taylor Hicks last season. Even though he looked 50.
So far, three out of the first five girls I've looked at picked Mariah Carey as one of their favorite female artists (Final count: 5/12). Jordin Sparks? She likes Christina Timberlake. I really want to know if she said that, or the author of her profile. She also would like to "play piano by ear," which is a funny image if you take it literally. Stephanie Edwards apparently likes the duo of "Beyonce, Knowles." Boy, they need some editing done on these bios.
Back to favorites, here are the leaders:
The Girls like Justin Timberlake (4 votes), Stevie Wonder (4), Michael Jackson (3), Mariah (5), Christina Aguilera (3). Some got 2 votes and 1 which I'm too lazy to list.
The boys like Stevie Wonder (8!!), J-T (3), M-J (4), Beyonce (3), Mariah (3), Sade (3). There was one vote for Lauryn Hill as a favorite, but Nicholas Pedro just enjoys her music. The guys even more 1-votes because of indecisive Blake Lewis, who has a short list of:
Robbin Thicke, Jamaroqui, Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, U2, Gnarls Barkley, Half Past Forever, Michael Jackson, Prince, Sting, Eric Benet, Martin Sexton, Duncan Sheik, M-Pact, Bjork, Fiona Apple, Imogen Heap, Estmerd, Jill Scott, Tori Amos, Ella Fitzgerald and Sade.
Phil Stacey has quite the list too, which includes judge Paul Abdul. Way to hit that, Phil! And I know one of them (Paul Kim?) was going to sing barefoot all the time, but I hope Phil doesn't wear that stupid beanie anymore. We already had a guy who couldn't let go of a hat. Ace Young, I'm talkin to you.
I'm liking Chris Sligh. He put Blake Lewis and Gina Glocksen on his list. Talk about buttering up the competition! (Bad mental image of Chris eating lots of butter...) He's also a self-proclaimed great kisser and he pees before going on stage. Don't we all?
Ok, this is long enough. Maybe next week I'll have a favorite. I'll probably just add my predictions in with my blogs in weeks to come.
