Taking out the trash
No, it’s not Friday afternoon. But it is Take Out the Trash Day, at least according to LloydTheIdiot at Too Conservative. He has an interesting post about ten things we should throw out. His list is good – and already contains some of the items I would have listed, although in a slightly different order. … Continue reading

American Idol results 03/31/11: two eliminated
Wednesday night saw the eleven contestants take on the music of Elton John. There were some really awesome performances – Casey actually sang “Your Song” better than EJ himself – and there were some that were not so awesome – Paul comes to mind, although his suit was pretty wild. My bottom three were the … Continue reading

Wednesday night, the remaining 11 contestants took on the songs of Motown. Some of them did better than others but that doesn’t seem to matter to the voting public.

Monday this and that

And the winner is…
Lee DeWyze. My congratulations to him. Of course, we’ve not heard the last of runnerup Crystal Bowersox. It’s been a strange season on American Idol. I will not be surprised if the show doesn’t return for a 10th season. Not only was the crop of contestants fairly weak, it seems the whole idea – of … Continue reading

Tuesday night’s show featured two songs each by the remaining three contestants: one chosen by the contestant and the other chosen by the judges.

The top four contestants sang songs from the movies Wednesday night, with Jaime Foxx as the mentor. Although they had a lot to choose from, all of them chose really strange songs. Wednesday’s results show reminded us that the top three gets to visit their home. Joy. More fodder for filling airtime.
