American Idol Results 04/23/06: The Fab Five

Whoever the PTB are at AI, they have really made some boneheaded decisions on the music to feature this season. Don't get me wrong - there's a lot of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music that I absolutely adore - but the music is just out of place in this competition. Watching the six try to sing … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/23/06: The Fab Five →

American Idol Results 04/16/08: The Safe Six

The music of Mariah Carey was featured last night and it was clear that some folks were out of their element. I agree that the guys had the easiest time, as no one was going to compare them to Mariah. The women - well, the comparisons were inevitable. Interestingly enough, the best among the females … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/16/08: The Safe Six →

American Idol Results 04/10/08: The Surviving Seven

This week's results show was bumped from Wednesday night in favor of "Idol Gives Back," the celebrity-studded event in which money is raised for the less fortunate. It was announced that more than $60 million has already been raised, with contributions still being accepted through the website. I didn't watch the show, although I did … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/10/08: The Surviving Seven →

American Idol Results 04/02/08: The Elite Eight

The music of Dolly Parton was featured on Tuesday's show. I'm a longtime Dolly fan - she's one heck of a songwriter. So the contestants had a rather wide range of songs to choose from. Some chose well, others -- well, let's just say they didn't do Dolly justice. Wednesday night's show got off to … Continue reading American Idol Results 04/02/08: The Elite Eight →

Doo Dah Parade

I missed today's Doo Dah parade in downtown Norfolk. They used to hold this parade on April 1 but moved it to Friday the last couple of times. Here's a bit of video, courtesy of PilotOnline, of the parade. Looks like it was a lot of fun 😦

American Idol Results 03/26/08: And then there were 9

For Tuesday's show, the contestants got to choose a song to sing from the year of their birth. That meant the mid to late 1980s for most of them. And for me, it was interesting as I was familiar with most of the songs, being that it was the time frame when I was singing … Continue reading American Idol Results 03/26/08: And then there were 9 →

Today is the 3rd Thursday and the Norfolk Chapter of Drinking Liberally kicks off their gathering shortly … Continue reading Thursday afternoon funny →
