We now have the top 5 - 04/28/10

Ryan – Hardly worth insulting anymore – but I’m going to anyway. Wear something different you dork!

Rascal Flats - I have seen these guys in concert several times and I have never heard them sound flat before (no pun intended) but they sounded awful on that show last night. It’s got to be the sound system or something. Glad Gary cut his hair – bout time! – He was startin to look like a wheat field.

The Ford Vampire commercial – Love it! – I want those contacts! Sweet!

The new Shrek movie will be out in 3D soon – CANNOT WAIT! – I love Shrek - he rocks! Also – the new Iron Man 2 hits May 7th – I’ll be one of the first ones in line! Gotta see that one too! How old am I? Mentally it changes from day to day . . . .

OK – Down to business – The ‘Man With No Originality’ (aka Ryan) – sets up three groups of 2 (Yep – that adds up to 6 – I did the math) – and it shakes out like this – Aaron & Crystal, Lee & Soybean, Casey & Mike. Wonder how much they pay the people to write this crap and I wonder if they call it the ‘Drama Department’?

Next week we got Sinatra hits – gimme a friggin break!

Sons of Sylvia – I have never seen or heard of this group before but I thought the song was a kicker. They all could just jump right into the Ford Vampire commercial though – no makeup required – and the lead singer kinda scared me - but I’m gonna Google these guys.

Lady Antebellum – OMG, Hillary Scott is so HOT! (wow, a poetic thyme) I mean she is just freakin smoking! I was hoping they would sing ‘American Honey’ but they went with the ‘Need You Now’ – which has been played completely into the ground – tired of it – yall can move on now. But they are awesome though. Doesn’t Charles Kelly remind you of Kenny Loggins – the good years?

Rascal Flats & Shakira – Yep – she still looks so fine. Now was that a weird combination or what? Sounded weird to. Gary just should have kept his mouth shut and just stood there and watched Shakira shake her hips cause when he chimed in it sounded soooo outta place. Not good.

After all the extra entertainment so that they could sell extra commercial time and make us sit through a hour show that should only be 30 minutes (remember when this show first started it was only 30 minutes on elimination day) – Mr. Bo Ring (aka Ryan) freakin sends that Mike back to safety. I got two words for that – ‘Damn it!’ (Believe me I wanted two more words here but there are ladies present) - Who the hell is voting for this boring individual? OK – I know I sound like a broke record here – whadevah, but AGAIN – the guy is nothing special. His voice is just like every other voice that is played on the radio today – you can tune to any station and hear his voice style all over the friggin place. I can’t stand him or his ugly azz sweater! I can’t wait till he’s gone. Still ticked off that the ‘judges’ saved him. He is sooo this years Scott Soval and he’s going to wind up being an American Idol one night stand just like Scott did. OK, I’m done now.

So that left Casey and Soybean in the bottom two. Real surprised that Casey is here after his performance cause the dude really did do the best that he has done in a long while – but he’s OK and it’s Soybean that’s taking her exit. I do not agree with this – she is gone to early – this should have been Mike or Aaron. Can’t figure out the Aaron fascination either. I felt sorry for her – kinda sad – so I’m gonna bestow a big ole ‘Bless yo heart’ on her and she will be just fine.

OK my peeps – another week down and we’re at our top 5; Crystal, Lee, Casey, Aaron and Mike (personal trainer, yeah right!). Notice the order I listed them in – reverse that and that SHOULD be the order as to who goes home and when.

Hope everybody has an awesome weekend. Headed back to the lake Saturday to work on the tan and continue my alcohol treatments.

Kuntry Night - Top 6 - 04/27/10

Oh boy! – Kuntry night! Now, just where did I leave my chaps and spurs? . . . . Oh yeah, I remember now! I’ll just buy new ones . . . . Long story!

Ryan – Yep – there it is again – that SAME black suit. I do hope he has that thing dry cleaned every week – if not, he gotta be stinkin by now. Pretty sad that with a 45 million dollar contract he only gets one suit. If that don’t show you how tough times are – I don’t know what does! 45 million sure don’t get ya what it use to! (OMG, to have that problem!)

OK – Shania Twain – she’s still HOT!

Lee – ‘You’re Still The One’ – Black jacket, White shirt, black tie, black tee, black pants – it works on him (I rock that look much better though!) – He did jam up with that. He definitely put his own spin on it and totally did his usual awesome Lee job. Good song choice for him - I mean come on – its Shania, all girl songs – not much to pick from here people! – So, damn fine job!

Side note – Did you notice that when the dork (aka, Ryan) and Lee were standing beside each other – they both had on black/white – it was kinda like – here’s the old version and here’s the updated version – I’ll let you guess which was which.

Mike – ‘It Only Hurts When I Breath’ – Black jacket, Black shirt, Black jeans – OK, OK, the jacket was kinda cool but that little bit of ‘bling’ was so ‘ordinary’. OMG! – ANOTHER slow song! That is ALL this guy can do! (Just FYI for you new comers, NOT a Mike fan and NOT a Ryan fan) - OK, gotta go here again – Personal Trainer!?! - Seriously!?! – He could train people to eat, maybe! He did his usual straight line performance. Still can’t get the comparison to Mike Tyson singing in Hangover (which by the way is the best movie in cinematic history!) outta my mind! I think next time they need to put a tiger on stage with him. He’s just boring to me and the attitude is starting to weigh as much as he does. OK – I’ll leave him alone – for now . . . .

Casey – ‘Don’t’ – He’s got on his usual print long sleeve unbuttoned shirt (if you’re gonna unbutton it that low – how about develop it a little first son) and jeans. BORING! However; that performance was not! This is by far the best performance this guy has done to date. Excellent song choice – guitar playin was awesome – just all around an awesome job. Casey is finally back up at bat!

Crystal - ‘Need To Know’ – Got on a plumb colored print frock wid a big ole brown belt and kickin cowboy boots - If I am not mistaken, which as we all know is a very rare instance, this is the first time we have seen her legs. So, Crystal does kuntry, her way. Ya know if Joplin had to sing this song – this is the way she would have done it. Did I absolutely love this rendition of it? No. Yeah, I agree that this was not her best performance but I mean come on – its kuntry! (Don’t EVEN get me started on the whole ‘theme’ thing – we’ll be here all day!) I agree with Kara, she made it believable and she still rocks! I love this chick!

Aaron – ‘You Got A Way’ – Cool jacket, Plaid shirt (SURPRISE! – NOT!) – And jeans. Like Casey – this is his staple outfit. The judges raved over this guys performance I thought it was good but not all dat! Another love song, another slow song, another plaid shirt . . . . Yada, Yada, Yada . . . . Yeah, the guy can sing but I’m still stuck on . . . . Next.

Soybean – ‘Any Man Of Mine’ – What the hell did she have on? I swear it looked like a Judy Jetson floral print on meth! Her hair needed just one more color in it – totally not enough! Gonna make this an easy one – it was all her! That was kinda weird for me - it was like Superman trying to do Underdog (which by the way I do have both of those costumes – and yes there are pictures – but not on Facebook!) – It was her normal good but I think she yelled the bigger notes – wish she would have controlled those more – it was like she was trying to hard. She was good though – but again – its kuntry and kuntry she ain’t. If she would come to some of the kuntry towns in SC dressed like that – well, let’s just say that there would definitely be some talking going on . . . . and to be quite honest - you'd probably never hear from her again . . . . there are some mean kuntry, back stick towns here . . . . I know - my cousins have relatives that live there . . . .

OK my fellow ART’ies. This is gonna be a close one. I’m going on the record here and saying that if Crystal gets voted off and that Mike (Personal Trainer, my azz!) stays – especially after those stupid judges used their only save on him – well, I will NOT be a happy mountain hiker!

I want Mike gone but at this stage of the game – who knows? Will we have another Daughtry upset? We'll see tonight . . . . . Where's my Xanax?



Peace out!

Finally get to 8! 04/14/10

Ryan – same ole – same ole – same ole – same ole . . . . ah, lets just go with old!

Elvis melody – Ah the fabulous world of lip synching!

Right into the first set of eliminations . . .

Casey, Aaron and Andrew are sent to the middle of the stage (Oh the nail biting drama!) Casey and Aaron are safe and its bye bye for Andrew. Janeen called that one.

Brook White and Justin Gastin duet – She looked pretty good – pretty damn good as a matter of fact – I don’t know why Cat Woman popped into my mind . . . . her hair was a little stiff though. Who the hell was the dude? Never heard of him before . . . . and don't care to hear him again! . . . . Was that an Elvis song? Sorry but Elvis was WAY before my time so I’m not too familiar with his music. Seriously! Despite what some people think – I did not take the first flight with the Wright Brothers!

Old Man brings the whole bottom row out on stage . . . .

Lee, Soybean, Katie, Michael (can’t stand to hear him talk!), Crystal, and Tim – I’m glad I took my ‘anxiety medication! – The suspense is . . . . Well, not doing a thing to me but I took my medication anyway! Crystal, Soybean, Lee are safe.

Left in the bottom is Katie, Michael and Tim.

Adam Lambert – ‘Whadda Ya Want From Me’ (OK – We’ve heard this song to freakin much now Adam – move on bud!) – Ever wonder just how much eye make up one dude can wear? Well, now you have your answer! But no matter how much eye makeup or the weird hair he can create – the dude is an amazing talent – I mean, come on – he has got one hell of a voice! He said he used lasers to do something a little bit different – after what he did on the awards show – lasers is a little bit different? Hmmmmmm – let me ponder on that for a sec.

After the endless breaks – Old Man sends Tim back to safety – I figured that one out. So between Michael and Katie – it’s bye bye for Katie. Bout time. I still wish it would have been Michael! (In case ya’ll haven’t caught on to it yet – Michael gets on my nerves!)

OK Peeps - that's it for this week - reminder (I think I told ya'll this) - I will be out of town next week so I'll watch it when I get back and let ya'll know what I thought . . . .

Ya'll have a great rest of the week and an outstanding weekend! Mine is going to be simply AMAZING!

Top 9- AGAIN! - 04/13/10

OK – I went back and watched last weeks show and it was a pretty darn good show. Are you ready for this – I actually listened to Katie’s ‘Let It Be’ – THREE times! It did turn out to be one of the better shows – let’s hope they keep it up . . . .

Ryan – the more I think about it – I think he’s just a robot.

Adam Lambert for a mentor – cool wid me – however, his hair does look like the Heat Myzer's . . . .

Crystal – ‘Saved’ – Cool vest/brown shirt – jeans – she looked good! It all worked for her! That was another outstanding performance by her! LOVED IT! – LOVED IT! AWESOME! – She’s so real. She does not need to be technically enhanced – she just opens her mouth and out comes the talent! Gonna be hard to top that tonight.

Andrew – ‘Hound Dog’ – Black jacket, white v-neck ‘t’ – jeans – it was OK – chain was cool though. That rendition was WAY to slow. You can’t take a song like that and slow it down and expect it to come off good. Agree with Randy – so not good – and yep, Simon got it right to – it was lazy.

Tim – ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ – Blue Henley (have that same shirt in black, white, purple, blue and green) and jeans. It worked for him. The performance was OK – a non blower but in Tim’s standards it was OK. He was better last week. Do I think he’ll go home – probably not.

Lee – ‘Little Less Conversation’ – black jacket, black shirt, and black jea s – all of it was cake. That was freakin awesome. Loved it and damn good. Again, love this guys voice. He’s totally in his zone and agree the vocal was fire. That to me topped Crystal.

Aaron – ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ – Awesome gray jacket, cool blue shirt, and jeans – dude looked better than he has in a while. That like Tim was OK. For Aaron’s standards that was OK. He was kinda like a kid doing a grown up song to me.

Soybean – ‘Suspicious Minds’ – Her hair was like a mini bee hive – However, the outfit she had on was the most normal thing she has ever worn. I actually liked what she had on. The shirt with the cuts in the back was cool and the skirt with the silver buckle buttons was sweet – even liked the shoes. The girl has got some pipes and she did OK on this – she could have done better though. Didn’t totally hate it.

Michael - 'In The Ghetto' - black leather jacket, black jeans, black shirt - didn't work for him. Gee - Another slow song - go figure! Ya'll know what I'm gonna say - send him and the song both to the ghetto! I am tired of this dude - done with him and his attitude and was totally boared with that song. The save was wasted!

Katie – ‘Baby What You Want Me To Do’ – Purple cute shirt, short black bolo jacket, black pants and a whole lotta chains around her waist. Whad-evah. She was much better last week – I got her last week – this week – not so much. She was back to her irritating ways this week.

Casey – ‘Lordy Miss Claudy’ – Back to his regular print shirt and jeans – BORING! And so was the song – He needs to get back in his zone cause he done took the off ramp. Totally agree with Randy – didn’t see or hear anything different – he’s becoming a flat line again – Step it back up son!

Would love to see Michael gone after they did the ridiculous save on him – and Aaron and Katie can head on out as well . . . .

We’ll see


Oh – I am back in Oklahoma City next week so you’ll get a combined report when I get back and watch next weeks show back on the DVR.

Later,

The Judges are obviously STONED!

Ryan – I say brotha’s and sista’s – pass the offering plate – Ryan need a new suit! He is such a dweeb!

Group Song – OK – If that was lip synced how many cuts did it take for it to sound like that? Only thing I liked about it was the way they were dressed – black/white – that was cool. They had totally no energy while ‘singing’ that.

First set of eliminations . . . .

And here we go with the group of threes again – my gawd people – think of something new!

Group 1 – Soybean, Crystal – Katie – from this group he sends Crystal to safety – then announces that they are all safe. Ah the drama!

They are going to be mentored by Adam Lambert next week – Interesting . . . .

Jason Derulo – In my head – Love this song – awesome bar song! But boy did he screw that up trying to do it live. Another example of a highly produced (thanks Kyle) individual

David A. – He’s back! He’s changing his looks – growin up a little – ‘Imagine’ - OMG! That was phenomenal as usual! This guy is still a true talent! He’s just freakin amazing!

Group 2 – Lee, Casey, Tim – These three are safe!

Group 3 – Michael, Aaron, Andrew - are the bottom three. – He immediately sends Aaron back to safety leaving Andrew and Michael.

Rhianna – She sang ‘I’m A Rock Star’ – No she ain’t. – nuff said. OH – except that she looked like Catwoman on crack.

To sing for his safety it’s MICHAEL! – AND THE STUPID IDIOTS SAVED HIM – That totally pisses me off! That was totally ridiculous and now I need two Xanyx and two more beers! – STUPID – STUPID – STUPID! Did you see the look on that 'personal trianer' (my azz) face when they saved him - Somebody hold me back! They used the save on him! A voice that EVERYBODY has - IDIOTS! Fire um ALL!

That sucked!

Elimination show 03/31/10

Ryan – I think I get it now – He’s going for his signature look - Hum Drum ole man suits . . . .

Clash of the Titans – I WILL see that movie sometime this weekend! RELEASE THE CRACKEN! (This sucka has been released on me already – not been a good week – last night ended with me backing into my neighbors mailbox – I can’t wait for the next exciting thing to happen to me!)

Ruben Studdard – Sweet black suit and crisp white shirt – Suit was awesome. Dude has lost a bunch of weight – good for him. New song – not so hot – lost interest about 30 seconds into it. OMG! – When they brought Michael out and put them together like that was suppose to be an impressive display . . . . Personal Trainer??!? – This show is getting sillier and sillier.

First set of eliminations . . . .

Lee – awesome leather jacket – safe

Casey – back to his usual wardrobe – safe

Aaron – Wow, he had plaid on – AGAIN – safe

Side note – When Simon said to Ryan that this was NOT the Oprah Winfrey show – I freakin rolled! LOVED IT. Ryan gets 45 million for this? – And all with one suit?

Soybean – I’m taking bets as to what’s she’s on – let me know if you want in on the action – safe

Katie – Bottom 3 – no surprise.

They got Lennon/McCartney songs next week – Another Beatles week – they did two in a row last year – enough already.

Usher – Got one question – When the hell did MC Hammer pants come back into style?!? That’s about all I noticed during that whole thing. It just amazes the hell out of me how these people can get paid the money that they get paid and unless they are ‘technically enhanced’ – they suck! Sorry all you Usher fans but that was a ridiculous display. This is entertainment? Well, if you like comedies. Did I mention that this show is getting sillier and sillier?

Second set of eliminations . . . .

Didi – She actually looked the best I have EVER seen her look – red cool shirt – black jeans – hair naturally flowing around her face . . . . Bottom 3.

Mike – safe – whad-evah!

Crystal – safe

Andrew – safe

Tim – Bottom 3

Got the three on stage together (Didi, Katie and Tim) and immediately sent Katie back to safety. OK – if you’re voting for Katie – please advise me as to where the talent is – I’m completely open . . . . It’s OK though – I have a volume control on my remote – I’ll be fine.

P Diddy – What was with the special warning ‘STROBE LIGHTING WILL BE USED IN THE NEXT PERFORMANCE’ – was that an indication that I needed to refill my bong and get the full effect? I wish I had – If I would have been high I probably would have been able to tolerate some of that, but very little – even being high. He asked America to turn the TV’s up – I turned my surround sound down. This is what music is coming to? Sorry people – but this is just sad and silly – did I mention silly earlier?

After P Diddy proved to America that he as well as Usher can make a complete fool of themselves – Ryan announced that Tim was safe (teeny boppers are doing their jobs evidently – I can just see them sitting in from of the TV crying their eyes out in agony at the prospect of him going home) and left Didi to sing for her survival. She picked Rhiannon – I was thinking – yeah – go with that one! Anywhooo – after an ear drama – the judges told her no – so she gotta go.

And there you have another week down – and we’re down to 9.

It may just be my mood (because I have really had one damn bad week – and it ain’t over yet!! - it's just one of those that no matter what you do or what you touch - it's gonna get screwed! - I gotta figure out how to get a custom mailbox fixed because all the mailboxes in the neighborhood are custom made and they all have to match so I just can’t go buy one!) But- this show is getting pretty ridiculous. Has it run its course?

Anyway – just my two cents . . . .
