American Idol
I'm watching American Idol right now and thinking: How cool is it that one of the judges is a Duke grad?
Do you think, if it came down to it, and Anoop (the Tarhole) got voted off, that Kara would vote to save him?

Lamely replying to my own post: Anoop is safe for another week. WTF?

GAH, I LOVE being back on the east coast so that I can watch shows which originate from the west coast originate LIVE instead of having to wait for that pesky 3 hour delay. . .

First, word. I share your philosophy. I don't get to see Lost until Thursdays, so I avoid Lost threads until I've seen the show.CathyCA wrote:As a former West Coaster, I know not to click on TV topics that have yet to air in my time zone.

I'm actually torn about sports on the east coast. On one hand, I think the NFL football schedule sucks on the east coast. But on the other, I'll get more Duke games.

Re: American Idol
I think West coasters potentially getting spoiled on shows is the price they have to pay for making us East coasters stay up so late to watch sports. 10:15 tip off times for NCAA games? MNF games that run past midnight?Miles wrote:First, word. I share your philosophy.

Exactly! MNF is going to kill me, sorta.

Re: American Idol
I think Anoop should sing 'Kung Fu Fighting' next week for disco week. He might go down, but it would be awesome!!!!
I think Kris should sing 'You Sexy Thing' for obvious reasons. Plus he could probably pull it off.
I won't suggest anything for Adam, I just want to see what he will do. Although, 'It's Rainin' Men' could be another all kinds of awesome song choice but maybe too much for middle America so, no, I'm not suggesting it.
I love disco night, heck, I love disco music. No parking on my dance floor, baby, cause I've got the Boogie Fever. I'm going to put on my my my Boogies Shoes and take myself to FunkyTown. OMG, somebody, anybody, please sing FunkyTown.

Re: American Idol
I just heard my oldest son singing 'Mad World' to himself in his room while doing homework with his lovely voice. Makes me want to go vote for Adam right now.

That's pretty cool! Now go get him the Tears for Fears single so he can have a proper musical education.Bostondevil wrote:I just heard my oldest son singing 'Mad World' to himself in his room while doing homework with his lovely voice. Makes me want to go vote for Adam right now.

Then again, maybe the thread was moderated out of existence. :ugeek:

Anoop: How Deep Is Your Love? (Would that count?)
Allison: Blondie's "Heart of Glass"
Adam: Stones' "Miss You"
Matt: Anything by KC & the Sunshine Band (just get him off the show)
Lil: I'm thinking ANYTHING by Donna Summer (just get her off the show)
Kris: Disco Inferno
Gokey: Love Roller Coaster, Love the..., Say What?

Re: American Idol
Okay, posting in the middle of the show, and I don't want to ruin it for the West Coast folks, but Kris Allen just nailed Donna Summer's "She Works Hard for the Money." Simply amazing.
More later.

Re: American Idol
And Adam sang a greatly slowed down "If I Can't Have You." Sort of like Roy Orbison...
VERY original. REALLY interesting.

Re: American Idol
Whose turn is it to go?
Lil: Should make it into the bottom three, unless the votefortheworst folks have their way. There may also be a backlash against the judges for negative comments they gave her.
Anoop: Will probably make it into the bottom three. Some good notes, and a few baaaaaaaad notes.
Matt: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... see ya!
Gokey: Awful performance of EW&F's September. He is wearing on me big time.
Allison: She wins the whole thing if they have Janis Joplin week... but this was DISCO week. One verse of "Piece of my Heart" or "Me and Bobby McGee," please? She has had a history of getting in the bottom three.
Adam & Kris: They both took disco songs and made them non-disco. Adam should be safe. I hope Kris is as well.
I'd like to see Lil and Matt go, but I don't know what will happen with voting. Do they add in votes from the previous week (when the judges' SAVE went into effect)? Unfortunately, given her previous history of making the bottom three, I wouldn't be surprised if Allison made it there, and were voted off. I'd be disappointed, but not surprised. I really want Gokey in the bottom three.
Cheers.

So long, farewell...
So long Lil Rounds!! She was disposed of quickly.
Bye-bye, tar holes!! Anoop Dog is no longer in the house.
Legacy Lady's favorites are Adam and Allison. It came down to Anoop and Allison. We couldn't dial in because ILoveJimmy had to vote for devildeac's eldest daughter's choice ... Anoop. So not only couldn't we vote, but my wife voted some 50 times for Anoop Dog, the Tar Hole... all as a favor for her niece.
If Allison had gone, there would have been fireworks.
WHY ILJ failed to support her own daughter is beyond me. WHY ILJ supported a hole is beyond me.
Ugh.
