McDonald’s Produces Superior “American Idol-esque” Talent

No American Idol for me yesterday! It’s so sad I know, but I went back to the gym to workout for the first time in 2 weeks so it had to be done, and American Idol had to be sacrificed. It was either watch American Idol or turn into a mediocre blob on my couch.

The sad thing is I wasn’t too sad about missing it. I read an article in a magazine about how some people think that the show is turning into a scandal because half of the contestants had albums and/or record deals in the past. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this?

In my opinion, people like that should not qualify for American Idol. If someone was good enough to get a record deal and make an album, but NOT good enough to make a career out of it, maybe they should just go on with life and let someone else with real talent that wouldn’t have that kind of opportunity in the real world, try for a legitimate career on the show. After all, American Idol was based on finding “undiscovered talent” and these people have been practically “discovered” already. It just doesn’t seem right.

I abnormally woke up extra early this morning and I saw a preview piece on “Good Morning America” where this girl that was a McDonald’s employee was singing in her restaurant and she honestly sounded better than half of the contestants on the show. She sang “No One” by Alicia Keys and she sounded exactly like the song on the radio. I almost wanted to say that she sang it better than Alicia Keys did live when I watched her on the Super Bowl pre-show this year, but I don’t want to offend any fans of hers.

So granted to say, I might watch American Idol once in a while to see how David Archuleta is doing and keep the hope and dream that David Hernandez will do a strip tease, (God I need to stop reading tabloids!) but other than that I think I’m pretty sure over the whole show…until David Archuleta wins.

Rock of Love 2: Recap

This post contains the spoiler so if you are a fan of the show, you better not read on.

I watch this show to make me feel better about myself because I have never seen so many empty headed airheads in one area at once.

Today’s challenge was to put on a USO Show for the Veterans. Oh God! Half of these girls cannot even pronounce most of the words to the Preamble. Granted, I never memorized the Preamble, but at least I can annunciate the words. What a bag of airheads.

Kristy Joe and Amber did a tap dance like a bunch of monkey’s on crack.

Megan & Jessica did a striptease and caused a bunch of old men to up their dosage on viagra.

Destiny & Ina sexed it up a little more and stripped like a bunch of….go-go dancers? Yeah, that sounds like a nice enough word!

Daisy the tone deaf sea monkey sang the National Anthem. I think? What moron dosn’t know the words to the National Anthem? This is my fave girl in the competition, but this was just pretty sad.

Amber called out Kristy Joe at dinner. What a nutcase! Brett seriously needs to get rid of her. Amber then tries to apologize to Kristy Joe and she didn’t give a crap. I’d punch the emotionless fruitbasket square in the nose.

So finally it’s down to Ina and Kristy Joe. Halleujah I’m thinking loony Kristy Joe is finally going home and then…

Rock of Love 2 - Ina

He gets rid of Amazon Woman Ina. Oh well, better luck next week I guess.

Ryan’s Life Must Be Soooooo Hard.

Ryan ShecklerI have been watching Life of Ryan a lot lately, more so for the fact that my boyfriend seems to love that show. He loves all those shows that feature skaters.

All I really see when I watch this show is a richie rich skater boy who thinks the most painful thing he will ever go though in life is his parents divorcing. Give me a break, there are starving children, children dying from cancer in the world, common folk working 3 jobs to survive, and I have to listen to this guy cry and whine about his parents splitting up. Someone needs to send him to serve food at an open shelter.

The episode I watched today he wanted to get a dog. Everyone was telling him he shouldn’t get one because he travels a lot and would have to leave the dog at home, but he still wanted to get it. Can we ay M-O-R-O-N, people like him just want what their money can get them but they don’t think of the consquences. Luckily he finally “saw the light” at the end of the show and decided to not get the dog that he probably would have neglected after a week.

I will have to admit though, he is nice to look at. He’s a spoiled brat, but nice to look at.

American Idol Elimination Recap

Sorry for the lack of review for the girls night of AI. I herd it sucked balls, so maybe I just saved myself from cutting my fingers off and and stuffing them down my ears. But I shall cheer up because it’s my favorite time of the week, time to weed out some of the awfulness that is American Idol.

At this point as long as David Archuleta is still in it, I don’t care about anyone else.

Did I mention how much I love group performances? I feel like I’m watching a reality TV version of “The Backyardigans”

American Idol Backyardigans

Did anyone else think that look on Danny’s face was priceless when he thought he was going home? He looked like he was in the semifinals of Miss America.

Jason Yeager was the first guy to go home. I still feel bad for him after the lashing Simon gave him, but he honestly could have been better (and stopped the cheesy smiling.) I am granted a little disappointed he’s gone now because he was one of my eye candies.

Alexandria Lushington was the first of the girls to go home. I was hoping Mrs. Munster was going to be the victim. After seeing a recap of Alexandria’s performance last night which I inadvertently missed I feel it was probably well-deserved. I felt bad for David Archuleta crying in the background though. I just wanted to squeeze his cute little self. If it was anyone else crying I would have been like “Listen here stoop! That’s one less competition for you. Quit crying! Suck it up!”

Then it was down to Kady Malloy and Alaina Whitaker, Alaina got picked to go home and Ramiele and Danny cried…AGAIN, someone needs to surgically remove their tear ducts or I am going to loose mine laughing at them. I didn’t remember Alaina much out of the competition, but of course Paula always tells everyone “This is just a start of a great career for you” which is a crock of horse poop.

Then it was down to Robbie Carrico and Luke Menard, thank God we finally sent “Robbie the Faker” home. I’m a little disappointed now because I will never know if he really was wearing a wig. But now he can go shave off that rock faced and be my new Justin Timberlake fantasy. More crying commenced. If these people are going to miss each other that much, maybe they should all just sleep with each other.

Well, I will have to admit, I will miss picking on Robbie, so I will have to find a new target for next week. Back to the refugee boat for much long needed pondering.

American Idol Reviews: Top 10 Girls Night

Sorry kiddies! I have no fun and exciting American Idol Review for the Girls Night. I was delightfully sick and decided to go into a NyQuil induced coma instead of watch American Idol. At least I have my proof now that I do have somewhat of a life, even though I feel like a major slacker right now.

I did have the pleasure of listening to the mess that was Girl’s Night on American Idol on my local radio’s recap morning show. From what I did hear, it sounded like Carly Smithson was the best of the night and Kady Malloy would have made me slash my wrists up with the horridness of her performance. Poor girl should have stuck with the Britney Spears voice.

Anyways, I will be live in front of the TV tonight for the elimination show. As for last night, my elimination picks are for Kady Malloy and Amanda Overmyer  for the girls, and Luke Menard and Jason Yeagear for the guys.

American Idol One Liner Reviews: Top 10 Guys Night

It was 70’s Night on AI.

Michael Johns started off the night talking about tennis. Oooook! But he did put a great spin on “You Can Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. His voice in this performance kind of reminded me of a Jason Wade from Lifehouse. That vein in his neck was a little distracting when he was singing, but I did like it a lot, the performance that is, not the vein!

Jason Castro talks about hating to do interviews but oddly enough I liked hearing him talk about how much he hated being interviewed. Once again he performed with his guitar which added a great element to Idol that has never been introduced before. Woah! This is guy is an amazing singer. It was too bad the judges didn’t like it.

Luke Menard sang a Queen song, which mind as well of been a show boat performance. At least he’s nice to look at. I felt like I was watching an episode of “The Wiggles” without the dancing around. Pretty boring!

Ahhhhh Robbie Carrico the fake rock singing, drag racing, Justin Timberlake look-a-like hunk. This performance did get me “Hot Blooded” either way. I think at this point he probably wants to kill the next person who questions his authenticicy of being “rock” but even if he wanted to sing rock music, he will need a better song selection. I would like to hear him sing a song where he just belts it out and rocks it out like there is no tomorrow.

Then there’s Spongebob Gaypants Danny Noreiga. He sang The Carpenters. I love this guy, what a personality. They really should ban this song from American Idol though because everyone sings this song every season. I wanted to choke myself unconscious just for the fact that I was hearing this song again, the only thing that brought me out of my un-consciousness was Danny’s princess voice and the consistent giggling after Simon told him how much he liked him. OMG! OMG! What a cute couple they would make!

David Hernandez has great stage presence. He was giving looks to the crowd and knew just what face to make for the camera. Besides a little crack of the voice at the end that no one ever really noticed, this is my favorite performance so far.

Jason Yeager just upped his sexiness factor now that I know he plays instruments. He performed a Doobie Brother’s song and it was just OK for me. He still smiles that cheesy smile every time he performs and it kind of freaks me out but it was just OK. I thought the judges were a little too harsh on him and you could tell by the look on his face he was really hurt, which in it’s own wanted me to vote for him because I felt bad.

Chickezie finally explains the meaning and pronunciation of his name in the pre-interview performance. Chick-uzie gave a much better performance this week than last week. Very exciting! Very good voice! Very fun performance! I liked the very cleaver with the word play in the song and his personality came out in this performance.

My favorite contestant David Cook rocked the house. He got the crowd involved and moving all whilst singing and playing guitar. Bow chicka bow wow! I bet Robbie Carrico got pissed when Randy told David that he was the “real” rocker of the group. Besides the fact that it looked like he wanted to beat Simon over the head after telling him he had no charisma, which he should have after that remark, which would have been great to see. I loved it!

David Archuleta, how amazingly cute and sweet is this guy?  I hope they make this guy into a keychain so I can carry him with me. He shouldn’t be on this show, someone give this guy a record deal already. He is a freaking star!

Jorge’s Pick of the Night

  • Contestant I Would Vote For: David Archuleta
  • Sexiest Performance: David Hernandez
  • Most Enjoyable Performance: David Cook

 Worst Performance: Luke Menard

Josiah Leming: The Most Popular AI Reject

So the guy screwed up once in Hollywood Week. He’s got the looks, he still rocked it out and was an amazing singer. And I did agree with Simon, he did sing and speak with an English accent, which makes him sound almost borderline bi-polar when he denied it on the show. But either way I am still a fan, so for anyone that watched the American Idol auditons and loved Josiah Leming, here’s a tasty snack for you:

Josiah Leming on The Ellen Degeneres Show

He’s probably one of the more popular American Idol rejects to get famous off the show. If you don’t remember him, he was the guy that showed up for auditons in his car that he claimed he had been living in. Then in his audition for Hollywood week he grew a set of balls and dismissed the band that he should of been performing with to begin with. This move in my opinion would ultimatly give him his fame.

According to VH1, he has over 19,000 friends on MySpace (I am going to be one of them here really soon!) and has sold around $15,000 of his own music online. (again, I will be part of this statistic really soon.)

My prediction is, this boy’s music will be on an album and on radio in the very near future so I would keep your eyes and ears peeled.

American Idol One Liner Reviews: Top 12 Guys Night

For profiles of each singer go here

David Hernandez - He is an OK singer, nothing unique or exciting that jumped out at me, By the time this show is over, I will forget the performance. I guess it’s just the curse of the first performer.

Chickezie - I forgot what the hell this guy sang after he sang it, it wasn’t a very memorable performance. I think the only reason I remember him in the slightest bit is because I spent his entire performance trying to pronounce and figure out what his name is.

David Cook - This guy is great! I have a feeling he is going to be the Chris Daughtry (Season 5 AI) of this season.

David Yeager - He could get a singing career with The Wiggles if American Idol dosn’t work out for him, the guy’s got a good voice but he just looks a little TOO happy to be singing, like those cashier’s at a retail store that force themselves to smile at you but they don’t really want too.

Robbie Carrico- Simon was questioning his authenticity about singing rock music. This guy claims he is all Rock and Roll, but he was in a boy & girl band that toured with Britney Spears, the man (I should say boy back then) even dated Britney Spears! He is a Fake, with a capital F and his singing past is going to catch up with him.

David Archuleta - Is this guy a singer or a puppy? What a nerd-bomber! Durn good singer either way.

Danny Noriega - Like, OMG! Paula hit it the nail right on the head when she said “There will be a lot of color’s coming out of Danny…” He’s going to be the Miss Attitude of the competition, it was alright I think he would be more suited for TV talk shows instead of singing.

Luke Menard - He looks like Orlando Bloom with a hat on. I fell asleep during this one so I’m not sure what I thought about it?

Colton Berry - This guy sings the Teletubbies theme song in his head when he’s nervous. Double Nerd-bomber! Him and Danny Noriega should hook up. Besides that fact, he’s got great hair, great energy and a good voice, it is kind of reminicant to Clay Aiken (Season 2 AI).

Gerrett Haley - He’s so pretty! He seems a little off his rocker, but he is a pretty good singer. He dosn’t seem like he would be memorable enough though.

James Castro - OMG! It’s Bob Marley’s long lost illigitimate child! Thank goodness producer’s there let these kids sing with instruments though, this might not necesarily be a good thing beucase people could fall like hot pancakes, but he pulled it off pretty good. I liked it.

Michael Johns - He dosn’t even have to sing, he can just talk and the ladies will swoon. The singing is just as amazing. I definitly hope he sticks around and does great things on the show.

Am I the only one that thinks Paula is talking a lot more this season? Someone needs to stuff a beer in her mouth and tell her to quit talking to much!

Jorge’s Picks for the Night

  • Contestant I Would Vote For: David Cook

  • Sexiest Performance: Michael Johns

  • Funnest Performance: Danny Noriega

  • Worst Performance: Gerrett Haley
