April 8, 2009 - But my silent fears have gripped me long before I reach the phone

“Idol: This once only msg confirms your vote for Scott was received. Vote as many times as U like B4 voting closes. See the results tomorrow only on FOX!”

Yeah, I broke my no voting rule and text-voted last night for two hours in-between getting repeatedly killed in Shellshock 2. I came into the living room and someone, someone whom I thought I knew, was text-voting for DannyGokey. And that shit’s not going down in my house without me counteracting the evil with some votes of my own. 

Ultra-dramatic opening. You know the drill. Scary close up, dramatic music, and well chosen sound clips. And of course, THIS is American Idol.

Mario Lopez in the audience. Paula is wearing white glove,  Ryan calls Simon “Darth Vadar”, and Randy has a snake on his sleeve. Kara and Ryan talk about the non-evolution of the evolving of the contestants. Or something. 

Some guy who’s name I don’t know is here singing some song that came out the year Simon was born. This show was starting to make me feel old because last December I officially turned the age that makes me too old to audition which means that from now on everybody on this show will be younger than me. But now I feel young again.  I wish I knew this guy’s name. Whoever he is, he reveals that Simon was born in ‘59 and now we finally know his age. 

Oooh, it’s Frankie Avalon!! I know that name!! 

Group sing: The boys walk out singing “La la la la la la”, and then Allison is singing awesomely on the couches. Lil is somewhere doing something. Then Matt sings and sounds just like Allison. Anoop reaches out to touch Scott, perhaps to tell him he’s there, and then Scott reaches for Kris, perhaps to find out if he’s still there. Then Matt leads Scott down the stairs. I like the group effort they make to make sure he doesn’t get lost or fall of the stage. OMG, what if someone forgets one time and he falls? Can I just stand around the edge of the stage during the tour every night to catch him should he fall? But you know that the one moment he falls will be the one moment I’m not paying attention because I’ll be watching Gokey do something stupid. You know this will happen!! The lip syncing is much better than before. What is not better? Matt’s dancing. What is also not better? Adam’s voice. Because that is not possible.

Beind the scenes of a music video. Matt is talking in a creepy voice, but then cracks up. Adam has a green eye. The concept is a vaudeville magic show. This could actually be awesome. Allison has crazy make-up and hair, so basically it’s just another day for her. Anoop plays a valet and Scott worries aloud that they’re putting him in pink. Danny looks like the cat in the hat, if the cat in the hat was a douche bag. Scott and Adam do wonderful impressions of Simon. The real commercial is awesome.  The song is “Circus” and Kris is hot. I don't what Idol is playing at, but every time I see these commercials I get the urge to buy a Ford Fusion. But I can't afford one, so I just buy a V8 V-Fusion instead. True story.

Adam lies that he’s been watching this show for 8 years. Then everybody claps for the mayor of Matt’s hometown. 

Adam and Kris stand up and the girls go crazy from all the hotness standing up. Anoop stands up too. Kris is so tiny standing between the two of them. It’s like when Ryan used to stand between Constantine and Bo Bice and someone made an icon of it and wrote “Barbie and The Rockers” on it. Good times. Adam is safe and also has hot friends in the audience. Kris is safe, and Anoop is in the bottom 3. 

The first musical guest tonight is Flow Rider… or Flo Rider… or Flo Rida? Like Florida? Is he from Florida? Is he bringing oranges for the contestants tonight?

And so I feel old again.

Both IMs received at the same time:

stonehousekthx: what's a flo ryda?
blozor636: Float Rider?

I wish these rappers would write their own songs instead of stealing 80s songs and changing the lyrics. Except for the Katy Perry version of ‘Use Your Love’. That was awesome. Covers are one thing, but sampling is just lame. Write your own music or go home and get a job.  Then there’s a girl who tries to undress him, but she sings better than Lil Rounds.  There’s so many people on the stage with him. They’re not wearing a lot of clothing either.  If I could reach the remote, I’d change the channel. But it’s at least 3 feet away. 

Ryan takes one look at this Flo fella and says “I need to go to gym.”

I want to date Seth McFarland so he can talk to me in funny voices and make me laugh. 

I don’t even want to deal with the next contestant. But he’s safe anyone, so who cares.

I’m starting to like everybody, with the exception of the contestant I refuse to name in the sentence before this, so I kind of like this judges save now.

Matt’s forehead pimple just winked at me!! I don’t think it’s a pimple though, but whatever it is, get rid of it! It’s mocking me!! Matt and The Thing are safe.

Once Scott gets beyond the creepy blind guy look, he really does have nice, sensitive eyes. I want to stare into them even if he won’t notice. He’s in the bottom 3. Ryan leads Scott to Anoop, who leads him to his seat. I love this. But I am sad that he is in the bottom 3.

Allison is safe and Lil is not.

I saw Kellie Pickler on the back of a milk carton, no lie. I really like this song she’s singing, whatever it’s called. I’ll find out later and download it.

Kauly Jo: i hate that i like kellie
Roarimaraptor:: me too!

Anoop, Lil, and Scott. I’m on the fence about Anoop, couldn’t care less about Lil, and am tore up about Scott. Lil is safe. Grrr.

Anoop versus Scott. Anoop  looks mad and Scott looks nervous…. And my heart drops in time with that music that announces someone has been cut. 

Scott sings his song again… and then Simon says 2 judges want to save him and 2 do not. I love how Scott gets nervous in the middle of his laughs.  This is like an emotional, lengthy decision for the judges. But finally, Simon announces him done. He hugs Ryan so hard, you can hear it muffle his microphone. 

My heart hurts, guys. 

For the theme next week, I suggest they do songs that have people’s names as titles. Only, they change the names to Seacrest. I mean, they don’t have to. But automatic extra votes to everybody who does. 

“Seacrest, with your aim. Seacrest, for my heart. It’s only pain. What does it prove.”

“And Betty when you call me, you can call me Ry.”

“Seacrest. Seacrest. Can’t you  see it in my eyes. This could be our last goodbye.”

“Seeee-e-crest, I know this world is killing you.”

“God it looks like Seacrest. Must be the clouds in my eyes.”

“Who’s Seacrest, she said. And smiled in her special way.”

“Take me by surprise and make me realize, oh Seacrest.”

“Seacrest, don’t you lose my number.”

And so on and so on.

Or they could sing songs about each other. There’s a song called ‘Allison‘, and a song called ‘Danny‘. And another song called ‘Allison‘.  And another song called ‘Daniel’. Then there’s ‘Adam’s Song’. And ‘Danny’s Song’. I’m pretty sure there’s no song called “Anoop”, but between now and then I’m sure we could come up with something.
