American Idol Live Blog

I am able to bring my laptop home now that I’m a full time employee (ok, that's a piece of good news I failed to pass on. Pay raise and full benefits now!). I like it when some of my fav writers live blog certain events.

I figure I’d give it a shot tonight. Here goes

9:06: OK, this is where they force all of the contestants to sing a song together. This is Bridge over Troubled Waters. OK, I guess they want to throw back to some older classics but do people really want to hear this? If I wanted to hear this, I’d go on a long drive with my Mom in the car picking the stations.

9:08: I noticed when Scott sings, his chins vibrate. It’s almost hypnotizing. Bo, the “rocker” dude really seems to be the class of this group of 5.

9:10: Oh, how nice. The contestants bring flowers down after the performance to the judges. Simon is breaking down into tears and starts telling us how his dad never hugged him and he’s sorry for being so mean.

9:11: commercial for the new J-Lo/Jane Fonda movie, Monster In Law. Right now, is there a more despised female duo? Everyone has had exposure overload to the nutjob, codependent J-Lo and Fonda has to be one of the most despicable women of the past 25 years. I predict a bomb.

9:15: going to announce the first one who won’t be eliminated this week. Scott and Anthony are safe. That’s surprising. Both are considered the worst singers there. Whoops, surprise. Those two dudes are actually on the bubble. One will be gone. So either the Commie Defector or Tommy Boy is leaving tonight.

9:20: I think it must be Scott’s house that the Burger King guy hangs out at. This guy lost his neck a while ago. He can sing but there is no way they were going to let him win unless he had a way of capturing a crowd like Ruben. This guy has no personality. Ended this song really flat.

9:23 Paula Abdul is completely worthless as a judge. But according to Ray from season 2 she works well as a concubine. And is there anyone who doesn’t think she’s a nutjob anymore?

9:24 Didn’t know Doogie Howser could sing like this. Even if he gets cut, he has a chance to do something in music. He has that sweet look and personality that evil women love to destroy. They’ll buy his crap.

9:27: They’re remaking The Longest Yard. The original is a good movie I watched a week ago on AMC. Original is good. I can’t see this one, starring Adam Sandler and Nelly, among others, being very good. It’ll make money because there are plenty of fools who still think Sandler is funny (hint: he hasn’t been funny since Happy Gilmore)

9:28 I haven’t seen a single episode of The OC so I still have my self-respect left.

9:29 Ryan Seacrest is an unfunny doucehbag. Anyway, now they are showing clips of Scott who was just voted off from the beginning to now. Shoot, he’s added about 50 lbs during the show.

9:31 That’s all. Not sure if it was entertaining. If there’s any interest in me doing this, let me know. I have a huge ego that needs satisfied.
