American Idol- Thursday Feb 17 2011

, ,

Idol this week was amazing…My prediction 15 year old Lauren Alaina from Ga. is going to win. They need another female winner and who better than a younger Carrie Underwood?
15 year old Thia Magia Top 5. Best name ever ( pronounced Theea Mageea)
Also in the top five, bullied red haired kid with the weird voice.
19 year old Casey Abrams with the stand up bass should win but won’t get the vote..he looks 50
STEALTH idol performer 2011 that producers didn’t let you see until recently- Jason Lusk. Wow. Lou Rawls or what?
Chris Medina, by far..saddest Idol background story EVER.sniff sniff  He was about to marry his finance. She was in a terrible car accident. She has brain damage and she’s in a wheelchair. He takes care of her.
Another great moment- stage moms watching their kids. That was an awesome scene and those kids were terrific!
On a much more panicky note, why doesn’t Rogers On Demand have this week’s Survivor? I didn’t tape it..ahhhhh

American Idol- major technical glitch and why female contestants can't win

,


American Idol should be great tonight. David Cook and Katy Perry will be performing.
The week’s theme 21ST Century songs was a bit bizarre, to say the least.
Scotty- Swingin
I was diving for the PVR FFFWD. And really, is the microphone that heavy, Scotty, that you can’t hold it properly?
Haley- Rolling the Deep

FFFWD
James Durbin- Uprising
James’ performance had me riveted. Amazing! Should be the next American Idol but who knows????
Jacob Lusk – Dance with My Father
Jacob ripped his earpiece out quite early into the song. He said he was getting the wrong track in his earpiece but you know what? He did a great job. The distraction was perfect for Jacob. He actually started sounding off key AFTER that when he started his crazy improvising.
Casey Abrams- Harder to Breathe
Good performance. Kissing J.Lo looked a bit odd. Someone should tell Casey he’s not Julio Iglesias.
Stephano Langone – Closer

Another boy band performance with hilarious cheesy faces but Stephano has solidified his boy band career. I mean that in a good way.
Lauren Alaina- Born to Fly

Lauren is one of those rare performers who was able to discover who she was during the competition. Typically, if you don’t know who you are going into the competition, the tips and criticisms overwhelm you and you just get lost ( ie. Thia Magia) but Lauren luckily latched onto what she should be doing- country. She does it well and its’ a great market for her. Why she picked Born to Fly to sing, I don’t know. Her voice has so much range. Why not use it? Oh well. She could stand on her head.
According the following National Post article, women are not going to win this show anyway. It’s pretty sad.

The Bachelorette- 5 reasons this episode jumped the shark

, , ,

1.Ashley is beyond wishy washy. Therefore, we don’t root for her.

2.Bentley is a sociopath and/or high
Ashley has the line of the evening
(Of course, this AFTER the piano crashes on her head)
FREE VAYCAY BENTLEY????

3.Ashley/ Bentley conversation REALLY deep.

Bentley, “ What happened to your arms?”

Ashley, “I went to Thailand and all I got were these nasty insect bites”…the DALAI LAMA would be so proud

4 Ashley ticks off the remaining suitors and can’t understand why.

Ashley: “The guy that I couldn’t get over came back and dumped me. I now have a free conscience to look for #2. Who’s game???”

5. BIG LEAD-BALLOON-O-RAMA Bentley REVEAL. Producers teased this so much and it was really bad. No REALLY bad

Cro-magnum PI Bentley, ” Um…um, Me want to pat your leg, duh, uh…”

THIS IS WHAT WE WAITED FOR???

Yes, I'm a suck Top moments from the Royal Wedding

The Royal Wedding….was spectacular. I had all intentions of getting up at 3 am which never happened but I did get up at 6- just in time for the Royal Wedding! Yippee. Come on. How often do these things happy? And yes, you can watch all the video replays that you want but nothing like seeing it live, I say.
So here were some of my favorite Royal Wedding moments:
