Last night my almost 7 year old niece asked, “Hey, Kris…did you watch American Idol last week?”"Yes.”"Yeah. I read your blog.”Uh oh. I could tell by just how she said it that she had read my rant about Megan. Even my own daughter (who is her age) doesn’t read my blog and it never occurred to me that Emma would. I instantly felt bad because I knew that I hadn’t held back when it came to my distaste for Megan and her singing. Frankly, I was saying what I wish the judges would say. The only one who comes close is Simon. The others are so politically correct, that it’s irritating. I just wish that they would have an average Joe be a judge – someone who will say “WHAT are you doing on this show? Are you SERIOUSLY thinking that you could ever make it as a singer? C’mon!!!” So, I am here to first say, I AM SORRY. I’m sorry, Emma that you had to read such foul things from your aunt. I should be a better example. And hopefully when you and your family join us for our Idol party tomorrow, I will be on my best behavior. Secondly, I have cleaned up my post about Megan. Sort of… Well, what can I say? It’s already been out there about a week now…what’s said is said!
Was Megan Joy smoking crack tonight or was she just being totally obnoxious? She did herself no favors with the judges (not like they’d waste their one save of the season on her anyway) but seriously – were we supposed to feel sorry for her? Allison willingly acted the idiot with Megan by cawing and flapping her arms like a moron. The microphones picked up Megan instructing Anoop to make sure he didn’t forget to “caw” too. I don’t know how he responded but I would hope he tried to get away as quickly as he could.So, who’s next on the chopping block? Well, Anoop, Matt, Allison, and Scott are all going down. I am not sure of the order yet but they’re not making top 3. Lil is still up in the air. She’s losing ground fast and unless she does something really show stopping, I don’t see her advancing past top 5. It’s looking to be a Kris, Danny & Adam – All Male final 3 which I am all for. None of the girls deserve to get there this year. Kris and Adam have proven that they can change up songs and make them different than the originals. Danny is going to have to step things up if he hopes to squash the momentum that Kris is building. Who’s gonna win? Not sure yet. But at least we don’t have to talk about Megan any more.
Note: This was edited 4/6…because of the young eyes who read my blog. I have seen the error of my ways…Before the critique…I was just called a homophobic nutcase in a comment to one of my previous posts. Hmmm. Interesting. So, I will keep it real here with the comment about tonight’s episode of Idol. Let’s just preface it first by saying that nothing I write here will make Adam any less talented or less gay stinky dinky doo doo. He is what he is. Does him being a puff matter when it comes to Idol? No, silly. Look at Clay Aiken. I mean, seriously. But is there a double standard when it comes to what he has done in his past vs. what previous non-gay stinky dinky doo doo contestants have done in the past that have gotten them kicked off the show? Yeah. There most certainly is. One should be able to say what they like on their personal blog. I’ve got an opinion. If you don’t like it. Don’t read. No big deal. My point is that Adam has some things going on in his closet that for other people probably would have seen them dismissed from the show. Whatever. All that aside. Do I like Adam? I don’t care for his singing style. So, that’d be a no. But I am entertained by his performances. Big difference. Seeing him live on stage = good. Listening to him on the radio = bad. Me no likey. Comprende? You likey? Fine. You’re gay stinky dinky doo doo. J/K….SARCASM, PEOPLE!!Now on to the show…(remember, I’m keeping it real – no cliches)Anoop Desai — Caught Up : Anoop was the poop. I don’t mean that in a good way. This one sucked was stinky dinky doo doo. I didn’t like the song. I thought the performance was bad. He’s looking at the bottom 3 but…Megan Joy — Turn Your Lights Down Low : Anoop should be ok because Megan sucked ass stunk dinky doo doo even more!!! Seriously. She’s sucked sucked sucked stunk stunk stunk dinky doo doo. I never understood why she was even in the top 36 to begin with. There were so many other people who were way better like Danny’s friend – what’s his face with the pierced cheek and David Osmond (who I saw at the David Archuleta concert the other night – he’s just as cute in person). Megan, it’s time to go home!! It’s time to warble elsewhere – just don’t do it on my TV or radio. ARGH!Danny Gokey — What Hurts The Most: Yay! First, the news broke a day or so ago about Danny’s grandpa dying (sad!) and comments from the various blogs and forums were as horrifying and cruel about Danny being a death magnet. People just were certain he’d pimp out his dead grandpa to get the sympathy vote and although I think he should be able to say whatever he likes and get his inspiration from whereever he likes, I was glad he just kept that piece of information personal and just stuck to the music for at least sparing the rest of us who actually like him the headache of reading such heartless crap. Danny really let it all out there with this performance and it was good.Allison Iraheta — Don’t Speak: I was pretty stoked she was going to sing this No Doubt song. Then they showed her infected finger in the video of her practicing on the guitar and that grossed me out. Then she sang the song and I wasn’t stoked any more. The judges hated her outfit. I didn’t care about what she was wearing. She just didn’t sound as good as she has in week’s past. Still…I have hope she’ll be around a little longer. She’s really the only girl left that can do anything.Scott MacIntyre — Just The Way You Are: Ryan said that Scott was going to sing Piano Man…but what he actually meant was he was going to sing a song FROM the Piano Man. I was worried because I don’t think Scott could pull off Piano Man – THE SONG. Anyway, this particular Billy Joel song was much more Scott’s speed. And although his voice clearly is NOT his strong suit, it’s still pleasant. His piano playing is stellar and let’s get real. The man’s handicap is inspiring. If only all of us could be as talented with eyesight. He could possibly end up in the bottom 3 but I still think Megan SUCKED stunk dinky doo doo MORE!! So he should be ok.Matt Giraud — You Found Me : This was terrible. Seriously. It was hard to listen to. It was hard to watch. I wish it had been a silent movie but then I couldn’t take my eyes off that thing in the middle of Matt’s forehead. I generally like Matt – very much. But this song sucked stunk dinky doo doo. And his rendition sucked stunk dinky doo doo. There were parts that were flat and I was praying for someone in technical to turn up the volume on his piano because at least THAT he could play. If he doesn’t make a return visit to the bottom 3 this week, I will be surprised. Still, Megan SUCKED stunk dinky doo doo MORE. So he should be ok.Lil Rounds — Surrender : Okay..WHO is advising Lil? From her clothes to her song choices. It’s a FAIL. She should be thanking her lucky stars she is still there. Luckily for her MEGAN SUCKED stinky dinky doo doo MORE!! Vocally, she did good. It was OKAY. The song? ARGH!! )!&@)!&^)^@&!^* Seriously? There other Celine Dion songs that are so much better but then there are other songs from other artists that are so much better. Does someone have it in for this girl? Do they want to use their Judge’s Save THAT BAD? Ok. Do it already because she needs to sing good music and fast. Adam Lambert — Play That Funky Music: I gotta hand it to Glambert… He keeps the audience guessing. Play That Funky Music? Mmmm-K!! But he did it. He pulled it off in his Adam way and it’s not surprising. I still don’t care for the screaming and screeching. My six year old and I sang along and hit all the same notes and sounded just like him. It can be done, folks. He’s not going anywhere. If he left the show before the finale, the season would be boring. Yes. That is true. And he may very well win this whole thing. It would not surprise me. But I still won’t buy his record. I don’t think I’d ever see him live except for maybe during Idol Live. This performance was typical Adam. He commanded the stage and it was good. I liked what he did last week better.Kris Allen — Ain’t No Sunshine: I like me some Kris Allen. He’s great. And I think HE is the dark horse who can ride in and ruin this for Adam and Danny. Kris is changing it up each week. His vocals are top notch. He’s showing he can do a little of everything. He’s got the whole package. He can be current (as the judges like to say). I would see him live. I would probably buy his music so long as he doesn’t have Megan (who sucks ass is stinky dinky doo doo) singing on it with him. And he loves loves LOVES his wife which is awesome. Bottom 3 this week – Anoop, Megan and Matt (or maybe Scott). Megan should and will go home. No wait. Don’t come home cuz that means, you’ll come back here. Stay there but don’t sing. Best of both worlds… Really, people..am I that mean? No. She’s a lovely person, I’m sure….just get her off my TV!!
