Before I start on tonight’s show: I just want to add that I have just recently purchased Blake Lewis’ album. I think that after a couple of listens, I’d recommend it to those of you who are in the market for something interesting. Throw Morrisey, Jamiroquai, Justin Timberlake, and Prince into a blender, and you’ll probably end up with something like Blake. Final analysis: a couple of pretty catchy songs,
I think I was an early poster in JoeUser. I tried it for a couple years, and then went away for a year. I came back recently, and the same type of griping continues. Kind of funny. New site is pretty good. My only gripe is that the "choose subject" feature is hard-to-use. That'll be cleared up eventually, won't it?
From seasons 2-6, and 7 of American Idol, I have always dedicated one blog to handicapping the top 12 (10) finalists. It is usually one of my favorite Idol-related blogs of the year. This year’s competition features significantly fewer “straw men” than in previous years. I am expecting several surprise eliminations before everything is all said and done. So here is my list of odds of winning as well as order of elim
Makes sense. I haven't noticed a difference, but this is the first JU article (besides one of my own) that I have read in a year! Good luck! Personally, I have been enjoying myself with FaceBook.
Hello again. I hope that this format works out alright. I have always had problems when I write my blogs on a Mac, then cut and paste them here in JoeUser. At least it seems that my paragraph breaks are preserved in the transition. Enough “inside baseball”, let’s talk about IDOL! Last night we saw the top eight women finalists. I have concluded that the women are nowhere near as good as
Tuesday, March 5, 2008: Good show. Nearly all of the performances were worthy of a trip into the top-twelve. Will there be a surprise on the results’ show this week? My guess: “Yes.” 1. Luke Menard sang“Wake me up (before you go-go).” Ugh. Luke sings like Herbert (the creepy old guy) from “Family Guy.” The only really &ld
For some reason, this stupid website isn't allowing me to publish this article. It won't accept my subject/topic heading. SUPER IRRITATING! Hi friends. On tonight's show, we came four steps closer to the final twelve. This week, we got rid of four more of the "straw men". First elimination was Jason Yeager. Poor guy was heartbroken, but what are you gonna do. . . He just wasn't good enough. First girl
I wrote about the men, now I will write about the women. A few hours after the show, what do I remember? Two girls sang Heart, one was good and one was bad. Brooke White put Carly Simon comparisons to bed. She certainly is likeable. The horse girl from Oregon certainly is nice looking. We need more of her on TV! (Kristy Lee Cook.) Ramiele Mulabay seems like a nice girl, but she REALLY needs a skirt. One of my favorites.<br
Okay. It has been nearly a year since the last time I wrote in here. I guess that I had become burned-out with writing about "American Idol" with little-to-no reaction. Watching last night's show, I decided that it is about time that I get "back on the horse" and share my opinions on Idol with the world once more. (So comment damn it!!) Here we go (in no particular order): Daniel Archuletta: Strong contestant. Seemed less dumbst
Hey. Late report. . . This week Haley was eliminated. That is too bad. Along with Blake, Haley was the other contestant about whom I cared. Sorry about the lack of articles. I just haven't felt like writing this season. There is a lot of competition on-line, and I find that I'd rather enjoy the show, rather than write about it. Maybe I'll write about Hell's Kitchen in June. I LOVE that show
I have been checking stores to see when they'll get Chilly Willy (Willie Nelson Peach Cobbler) ice cream back. The original was mislabeled, so it was recalled. (Something about not mentioning a wheat product. . .) In the meantime, I have gotten kind of hooked on Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream.
The ventriloquist was pretty funny.
Click here for my latest article. Tonight was Gina Glocksen's turn to go. Interesting that the bottom-three are "involved". Haley is engaged. Gina has a boyfriend. Phil is married. If a person wants to become a pop star, he/she should at least try to at least minimally conceal his or her relationship. Look at Daughtry. His attached-ness led to his early elimination. Presumably s
I'll miss all of our previous interaction. It has been very fulfilling.
Here's what I wrote as a comment on another blog: Gina and Phil have made the big mistake of making their wife/ husband/ significant other important in their lives. The audience prefers single people. I think Phil "gets it" this week. Haley and Gina may round out the final three. A lack in the voracity of Sanjaya supporters may put him in the bottom three either this week or next. Gina may be more vulnerable this week than on others because her perfo
Click here for my latest article I will do it a little differently tonight. It is spring break, the Twins are playing, and I wasn't in the mood to take notes on tonight's show. Instead of what I usually do, I will just make a few comments on what I remember from tonight's show. (Then I will go watch a Doctor Who DVD. -In case you're wondering which one: It is "The Armageddon Factor" from 1978.) My two cents:
Sanjaya won't win. He'll just last a lot longer than he is supposed to. There's a Sanjaya every year, and there will continue to be one for as long as the show lasts. Just enjoy the hate!
Chris was sent home earlier than he should have, but it became apparent a few weeks ago that he wouldn't last to the end. We can enjoy seeing him a time or two in the audience, and then again at the finale show.
Turns out that you were right. Chris Sligh was on second, and he wasn't fantastic. Richardson was on last. Your call was better than mine. Maybe I am losing it.
Click here for my latest article Tomorrow's headline will certainly read: "Sanjaya Safe Again." That guy has really caught the imagination of America. Amazing. . . Take Scott Savol, John Stevens, Carmen Rasmussen, and Ryan Starr; mix them all together; add water; and you'll get Sanjaya Malakar. Amazing! (Most people would mix in Kevin Covais or Jasmine Trias, but I don't think either of them was that bad.&nbs
Click here for my latest article Tonight's episode featured the coaching and music preferences of Gwen Stefani. I have enjoyed No Doubt's and Gwen Stefani's music over the years, but I surprisingly haven't seen her interviewed. I felt that Gwen Stefani came off really well on camera and in the coaching sessions. She is really down-to-earth for such a famous individual. The performances on this evening's show were
More than John Stevens, more than Scott Savol, more than Carmen Rasmussen, more than Ryan Starr, I am relishing the hatred of Sanjaya. His audition was good, but his awfulness is so over-the-top. I think that he was deliberately left out of the bottom three in order to lessen his votes next week. However: wouldn't it be a riot if he were in the finals against Melinda?
Andy Richter is one of my favorite comic actors. He used to be Conan O'Brien's sidekick on his late show. He had a really good show on FOX called "Andy Richter Controls the Universe". Sadly that show didn't last so long. I always wished that they'd restart it. Andy Richter also had a part in Chris Elliot's movie, "Cabin Boy". Critics hated the film, I liked it a lot. Andy Richter's newest project is a sitcom about a CPA-turn
Edit in comment form: I was thinking: since we'll never know who rounded out the bottom-three, it is possible that my predictions were strong. As long as the third member of the bottom-three was either Phil or Sanjaya. We'll never know. . .
Click here for my latest article. Tonight's show: As usual, they started off with a recap of Tuesday's show. Peter Noone sang a song. Ford commercial. We watched "real time" tonight, so we actually saw the Ford commercial at our house tonight. We find that Phil and Sanjaya are safe, and that Chris Richardson and Stephanie Edwards were in the bottom two.</
