Bikini Biotch

Well, I said I would be kinder after the Stephen Fowler debacle, but you know, sometimes you just have to call a bitch a bitch. Thank God she got cut. But I am a little more than pissed she took my Rose down with her.

I'm assuming you all watched the show so I will not detail her bitchiness. I was just glad Kara got the last word in (and for all people say about Kara she is a good judge of character) with her censored insult which I pretty sure was *What a bitch*.

I really think they need to go back to only letting 18 and older compete. Rose was out of her element. I'm not giving up on her. I'm wondering if she is on facebook or something and I can send her a note to tell her I think she has a future. I wonder if my my facebook friend Margaret could search her out for me. Rose Flack is her name and shes from Jacksonville I think.

I wanted to see the blind guy sing tonight. I hate to call him the blind guy but they have not mentioned his name in the past few episodes and I have forgotten it. Danny Gokey did well. I think he had a group of really nice people in it. Which shows how much this is luck of the draw. Plus he had his best friend with him too which has to be a big help for him.

Ok, right now, I'm interested (not in a carnal way) in the helmet head guy whose name I do not remember that Paula or Kara said had an amazing voice or something like that. I do not even remember what group he was in because I was so pissed that my Rose got in bikini bitch's group. I hate his hair. I hope he is not gay because that will sort of cool it for me (even though I'm not interested in him in a carnal way). Maybe KK remembers his name. I loved his performance though. Whatever group he was in looked like they were having a whole lot of fun.

And, I cannot forget Tatiana. I truly do not think she is a bitch she is just so self-involved she doesn't realize she is a stick in the eye to anyone she encounters. Even the closed captioned scroll on my screen says when she is laughing *annoying laugh*. She wasn't content to sow discontent in her own group. NOOOOO... she has to go find the most pathetic group in the whole competition and make it even more pathetic by adding another bone of contention for them to fight over. Because the sweet blonde said she could join. The tough redhead said hell no (I was with the redhead by the way). And Nathaniel just cried. Maybe in future episodes when Nathaniel cries the closed captioned will scroll *annoying cry*.

I cannot even find a villian in that last group. It was the most mismatched trio of personalities I have ever seen. The blonde was too sweet and too fragile, Nathaniel was too dramatiic and cried too much, and the tough redhead was just too tough for her own good. I'm not sure why she, and not the other two, were cut. Unless she was the only one sabotaging the others wth her backround singing. If she was then the cut was justifieid. Of course when she cursed at the sweet blonde towards the end you realized that maybe she was bikini bitch without the sex appeal.


So that is my take on Week 1 of Hollywood. Cannot wait to see KK's opinion after she views her DVR.

Thank God for American Idol!

It has torn me away from my obsession with the Stephen Fowler Wifeswap Drama. I really need to be more careful what I watch on Friday nites when I'm waiting for it to be past dinnertime to call Colorado. This week, the filler was Wifeswap and I got embroiled in an internet drama of major proportions. Unfortunately, his vile conduct piqued my conscience a bit so I probably won' be as snarky about the Idol contestants as I would have otherwise.

On to the show:

The judges certainly have their favorites and no matter how badly they screwed up tonite they went through. Lil Rounds was the first contestant and she is a lovely person as I recall from her audition. Very Melinda Doolittle in personality. Unfortunately, in my opinion, she is just another screamer. And to my dismay she started with the screamer's favorite ...Whitney singing Dolly only screaming even louder. The judges ate it up. Before they commented I wrote ARG! in my notes because it sounded to me like she really botched it. If she doesn't sing that song again I will probably like her better.

Then there was the spoilsport kid who told the judges they sucked blah blah bore.

Another young man from a bad background who cried (Nathaniel). I think his voice is OK. He sang a song no one had heard of. I hope he quits crying and sings in later performances.

Rose Flack who is only 17 and I adore her. I don't think she will make it though as she has lost confidence and it showed. She really has no experience in performing unlike David Archuletta who has been singing in front of audiences since age 2 1/2. I understand she gets cut later on. She should probably have gone out and done some local group things and beefed up her experience.

Then there is Von Smith. Now he IS another Pukealittle. Simon called him childish and indulgent tonight but they let him through anyway...probably for the tween audience. I have a feeling I'll be writing about him for quite a few weeks.

I wrote down two names: Steven (oh yes he sang the Stevie Wonder song). I liked him but he needs to get a more stylish haircut. I don't know if the judges will think he is *current* enough for the long haul and a re-style might help his image as he looks like he's in a member of the Temptations in 1972.

Jorge...well...Jorge...I think he over sings but he is not obnoxious so I'm not gong to make any cracks about him.

I LOVE Nick/Norman the comedian. He really did relax the whole group. I think he is a good soul. He can sing too but its hard to tell how well since he vamps it up.

OK, it looks like the blind guy makes it through and so does the Amy Winehouse girl, Frankie.

By day 2 I was getting a little bored. Bikini girl made it through despite Kara's critique because Randy and Simon are pimping Kara about her I think. I need to double check if she really does make it to top 35 because I had her named mixed up with the girl with the big boobs who DOES make it to the top 35, Kristen McNamera. They haven't shown her yet and I don't know why.

David Yoki (sp) and his buddy Jamar made it through. I think Jamar is not probably going to go all the way but the judges love David and I might like him too once he gets some music behind him. He has a certain David Cook feel about him.

The two rocker girls made it through too. I like them both but have to wonder about the one who changed her song at the last minute (the one with the pink hair). Bad judgment.

OK...this is my new snark free persona (well except for Pukealittle).

And it looks like Idol intervened just in time because the Message Boards are saying that Stephen Fowler has apologized, his wife is leaving him, and his professional life is in shambles. So I guess that drama has played out.

AI Week in Review

DVR is the best invention ever made!! It allows those of us who are ridiculously busy (read: too impatient for commercials and/or crappy auditions) to watch an entire week of AI in one night. Then post about each audition in the meticulous manner in which they deserve:

Front runners (in MY mind anyway):

1. Meaghan, the single mother with the sleeve (of tats) - I absolutely love her old school, jazzy voice and would buy her record - which is, as you will see, how I judge whether a contestant is worthy of the AI title.

2. Frankie, who they compared to Amy Winehouse - I liked Amy Winehouse until she turned into a crack head and stopped singing. If she can overcome that comparison, I'll like her even more!

3. Anne Marie, who got 2 chances to come sing as two "different people" - I don't know what was wrong with her the 1st time, I liked the before and the after. And she's really pretty. And she wore clothes!

4. Rose, the hippy - I love everything about her from her barefooted audition, to her dreadlocks (which they'll clearly make her take out before they'll let her compete) and her voice that reminds me of Grace Slick (who I love - thanks to my dad, who was a hippy, too, I'm sure.)

Most Overrated:

1. Austin, the class president (aka "pukaletta part II") - I'm waiting for the stage dad from hell to push him into crappy song choices, just like he probably pushed him into the class president gig and that horrible purple letterman's sweater.

2. Taylor, the 6 foot tall Samoan - other than her height, she's average and boring. I do give her props for wearing heels!

3. TK, who butchered Imagine - just because he can hit 16,000 notes, doesn't mean he should try them all in one verse of one song.

4. Julissa, the beauty/drag queen from Florida - not pretty, not talented, not likeable at all. Actually, she's kinda creepy.

5. David Osmond - one of the few times I'll disagree with Auntee, I'm sure. I've never liked any of the Osmonds and David is no exception. He's good lookin' sure. He's got the sob story in the bag, sure (I'm not a horrible person, I am sorry for his MS). But other than that, he's kinda boring.

WTF:

1. Headband guy - are you kidding me? Even he didn't believe that he'd gotten through!

2. Bald naked girl - bald. naked. girl. Enough said.
