Good bye Didi

Well, Didi's going home (or actually on tour) but I thought for sure it would be Tim. Actually we're watching Modern Family in between. I guess this is where the demographics (ok we're kinda old) kicks in. The celeb singers on the show are mostly people we don't know or even like. I'm always thinking that if they were contestants, they'd be kicked off by Simon. Miss Bunny and I are both unhappy with the show this year which is too bad because we were so excited to blog about our favorite show. Bunny's right on - it's so long and sell, sell, sell.

Yeah Crystal, Lee, Casey, and Siobhan!

Well, another two hour ordeal of listening to kind of blah music except for Crystal, Lee, Casey, and Siobhan.

Crystal on the piano and singing was a nice change and I always love her voice and her songs.
Casey was really good and still, cute as can be.

Lee is really a talented guy and I always enjoy listening to him.

I completely disagreed with the judges about Siobhan. I thought she was wonderful and I really felt terrible for her. She looked completely crushed by the judges and in particular, Simon. Geesh, Simon. You can give criticism without being so cruel. Stop already.

The rest were okay or just not good. I hate that I feel so bored with Idol this year. Also, as I've said before I resent them putting on two hour shows just to increase their revenue. Is it just me or did this show used to be fun to watch????

Two hours again...

Just returned from a Las Vegas trip and was too worn out to blog during the show, so here it goes from memory.

What's with the body language between Ellen and Kara? Kara looks as if Ellen has cooties - she's squished up against Simon and doesn't even look at her or comment about anything Ellen has to say. It was very obvious last night. I can't blame her. Ellen is very opinionated about music and what the heck does she know? Especially against Kara.

So, Tim, Didi, Andrew or Big Mike could all go home now and save us the two hour agony. Even though Siobbhan was wonderful last night, I think she'll be one of the last ones to go. As usual, Crystal, Casey and Lee were all spectacular. And, Aaron and Katy are starting to grow on me once I let go of my teenybopper prejudice - they are both very talented singers. So that's it, the shows are just too long.

Tim, Paige, Andrew, Didi - Who's going home?

Tim just wanted to have fun -

Paige admits a poor performance -

Didi just doesn't know what the judges want -

Andrew thinks Simon's mean and he knows who he is as an artist -

We've seen these foolhardy attitudes before -

But it's Paige going home. Hope she gets another chance at fame even though she didn't do well on Idol...

Hoping for Wow Wear

Using the Little Miss Perfect metaphor - I'm hoping the contestants will use some Wow Wear and some Wow Songs tonight if we're going to put up with two hours again.

Lee Dewyse - they dolled him up - looking good. The music was too loud for his voice, but he seemed more confident tonight. The girls will like him. The judges did, except for Simon.

Paige - Guess everyone is getting Wow Wear! She looks really good tonight. Pitchy! S.O. says his ears are bleeding. Even Randy thinks she's terrible and so does everyone else. She'll probably go this week unless there's someone else even worse.

Tim - not moving with the song, other than sliding on the floor.Sang it too slow. We don't like Tim in this house. Doesn't sound like the judges did either.

Aaron- thought he was better last week. But he looks better all floofed up and he did pretty well considering he had tonsillitis.

Crystal - fabulous. She gets better and better. She deserves to win.

Mike- good rendition but not sure it's something special. He's a bit too cocky for my liking.

Andrew - Heard it through the grapevine...too somber. He has a good voice but not exciting enough to be an Idol. He could be a goner too.

Katy - Big Girls Don't Cry - well, we'll see about that. At least it's contemporary. And she's pretty good tonight. Her voice really came out. I forgot that's she was a teenager too.

Casey - he's easy on the eyes. I liked it - lots of energy. But Simon was right, it wasn't anything original. He looks like a rock star, a little like Wow Wear.

Didi- You're no good. Hmmm....her movements didn't ring true. Her voice is good but why all the old songs? When the contestants say "I just wanted to have fun," then they really aren't listening to the judges. Too bad.

Siobbhan - she's so cool. That was awesome. She rocked. And her style is definitely WOW and there wasn't hardly any wow all night.

I might regret the comments about Tim...

All by myself tonight. No family members saying, "C'mon, write that down after giving me one of their snarky comments about a contestant. Okay, I have included some of them. Like last night about Tim's Jesus smile and lady hands - that wasn't me. I'm much nicer than that but succumbed to writing it because it was funny and I was under pressure. So tonight it's just me. I've eaten my Jenny Craig brownie. I'm not fond of elimination night because they stretch it out to an entire hour of drivel and bring back some of the less formidable former Idol stars, like David Cook. Didn't like him then, don't like him now.

Bottom three: Paige, Tim, Lacey - I think that's about right. I predict Tim. I was wrong!

Kesha - what's her name? What a bunch of no talents with fancy props and sparkly lights. Wanna be Black Eyed Peas perhaps?

Lacey's going home - cute girl but her voice wasn't anything special. Will they save her or wait for someone else better, like Lee or Casey. Looks like she's gone.

The Shorthand Version-Ryan settle down

Siobhan was really interesting and very good.

Aaron was excellent-his version of Angie was really great.

Crystal as always first rate.

Lee was pretty good.

Mike, lovely person and good voice. Not so great.

Casey-really good and cute as heck.

Now, Ryan, what the heck? Do you guys have some hack producer making up stunts for each night? Was this like Ellen kissing Simon? Kara, having an emotional meltdown over Mike?

Ryan you are always such a good guy, but I tell ya, Simon came off taking the high ground.

For God's sake, people, could we get back to the show?
