Here I Lay It Out

Here we go for this week's American Idol.

Blake:  Tops, although not as strong as I would have expected.

Phil:  Creepy.  He will be in the bottom three.

Melinda:  I will buy her CD.  I can't say anything else.  Seriously.  She should just win right now.  I think she might just be the best they have ever had.

Chris:  Pretty good.  Surprisingly so.  He needed this.

Jordin:  Good. It wasn't as good as I would have expected. I think it was the song.  She is 17 and this is the song she picks?  On a Clear Day?  A little too much of the drama geek thing doing on this week.

Gina:  That tongue stud is too much.  This is not a song I would have expected from her.  That said, I thought it was surprisingly good.  She has been getting better the last few weeks.

Sanjaya:  Tony Bennett did not just say he was a fan of Sanjaya and that he is terrific.  Tony Bennett is senile.  White suit.  Slicked back hair.  Looks like its been cut a bit.  Sooooooo creepy.  Sooooo boring.  He wasn't cringe-inducing, throw yourself in front of the train, this week.  Just so boring and awkward.  He is not charming.  He is trying to grow some hair.  I must repeat again, HE IS NOT CHARMING.  I have a feeling he is going to lose some of that reactionary vote that he got last week. 

Haley:  I might just vote for her based on that dress.  Great pan shot of the audience and a bunch of sketch looking middle aged men gawking at her.  Better than I thought, but she is pretty much just an image that sings mediocre.  Wow, that dress.  Hot.

Kiki:  This song should have been hers to hit it out of the park.  I have a feeling that LaKisha of three weeks ago would have done so.  Don't get me wrong, she was good.  But it wasn't WOW good like we've gotten used to and we always get from Melinda.

So my bottom three tonight?  Phil, Haley, and Sanjaya.  I kind of feel like I'm going out on a limb to put Sanjaya there even though any serious person would have had him out of there weeks ago.  It is either Phil or Haley out this week.  I'm kind of leaning toward Phil since I bet he lost some votes this week due to the oddness factor (seriously, he should just grow his hair out) and Haley is going to win some votes because of her dress.

Requisite pointless comment not about the post. So sue me.

Maybe I will...for $1350.

Well, I have to admit, the last time I priced a ticket to Berlin (in February, for May) it was only about $700. So in some loose, purely Clintonesque way, I feel your pain.

Wait--should I have posted that last comment on the other post? What if BOTH posts wind up with comments about the SAME THING? What if it's ALL MY FAULT?? WHAT IF???

I can post here, right? I mean, this is the section for comments about me...I mean, American Idol, right?

But what if I want to make a comment that isn't strictly about American Idol. You know, that isn't about my awful singing. Like what if I want to comment about Dancing With the Stars, do I do it here or someplace else? Wow, I can't find a post about Dancing With the Stars. If I can't find a post on a subject I wish to bring up, what do I do? Does POPS have a site where dancing is covered? Is this just the singing site? Oh boy, I really am confused.

But let me just say this: I'm going no place tonight. Haley or Phil may be going home, but NOT yours truly. Whether you like it or not, I'm stickin' around and if you don't like it, you can kiss my Indo-American a**.
