I tried to stay away…really I did! But I only managed to miss last week & they were even in Dallas. Perhaps I just didnt want to see what kind of idiots there are in my state? It all seems like such a big waste of time to show us those who everyone knows are not going to make it thru and they are only being shown for “entertainment” value. Okay, maybe the first 2-3 seasons it was fun to see some rejects….but now, now it seems rather cruel.
Until the Hollywood rounds, my money is going on Park! I hope he makes it thru to the part when we get to vote. :)

glenda~
I missed AI last night due to my commitment to LOST! lol
I totally agreed with you, this is the first year I watched the auditions, so the first few episodes were funny, but after that, it’s both annoying and mean at the same time. And I cannot stand Kara. Period.
btw, you and Shania Twain can join force on Park! ;)
February 18th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
I hated that I totally wasted 2 hours of my life on Tuesday. It was mostly *sob story* or whatever & then that was the last you would see of some of them. Wednesday was not much better IMO. I really felt for Angela–maybe she should have pushed Kara out of the chair LOL ALL the judges were telling her how good she is & that she should stay in the music business yet they were not putting her through. Since they went totally out of order in who got picked, there was no way I could tell who was allegedly better than her & stayed. That Crystal girl reminds me of Janis Joplin :) She’s got a lot of talent going for her. I’m happy that John Park went thru but I have no idea if he deserved it since I only actually heard him sing back at his audition. I don’t think I’ve heard a bunch of those going thru :p
btw I’m assuming you caught the news today on the plane incident here. That was about 3 miles from me. I used to pass right next to it M-F taking the kids to high school. Sarah’s twin bro was on the road today & saw it happen.
February 20th, 2010 at 10:37 am
OMG Glenda, I saw the news and it was awful and to know that it happened so close to you.. x_X”
LOL all guys who look nice or have nice bodies got through since Kara wants to eat them during the show HA! also I hope there’s no more sob stories after this
btw, did you see Angela on Ellen? Kara’s gonna write her a song after cruelly booting her out. I sorta want to punch Kara even more. :P
February 24th, 2010 at 10:48 am
I heard the tale end of Angela on Ellen. I’m hoping some label will pick her up. Kara pissed me off with the way she did the boot on Angela.
2/23 – another waste of time? LOL Did you vote? I didn’t bother because I don’t want to get wrapped up in AI–at least not this early in the game :p
Paige Miles – OMG How could Simon sit there & say she was the best of ALL of them?!? You have confirmed what I was thinking. Last night was the first time I saw her much less heard her. The best? I don’t think so, Simon.
I will be sad if Crystal, Lily, Siohban, or Lacey get booted off…especially Crystal.
February 24th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
nope I didn’t vote. I only voted last year to save Kris from Danny XD
Office consensus says that Haeley must go. LOL We already picked our top 12, and will see who gets most of their favorites in *i love my office*
Other than that, I’m busy droooooooooling over Tsu’s single OMG YUMMINESS!!
February 25th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
I didn’t really remember either one of the girls that got the boot :p However, I admit that I pay more attention to the boys and a girl has to be really really good for me to really remember them. me=fickle I’m happy John is staying this week; yes, I voted like 50x for him only. Husband calls him “Jurrasic Park” *sigh*
My early prediction: Casey James for the win. btw I cringe every time they try to compare anyone to your David (or suggest that they be like him). I can just see your face in my mind’s eye wincing each time LOL
February 25th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
ROFL you’re such a psychic!! *squeeeezes* I made a face every single time they tried to compare any of them to DC. (almost jumped my mom last night when she said Lee looked like David *faints*) Suggesting them to do what DC did makes me all >__<”
You voted! you’re such a good fan! And please tell your husband that I like his idea of John’s new nickname, JuPark~ XD I’m glad he’s sticking around too, I kinda like his voice a lot :)
Ha! My coworker is totally rooting for Casey James too! If he wins, Idol will have 3 guitar-boy winners in a row! Next season, they’ll probably audtion only girls to guarantee a girl winner lol
March 10th, 2010 at 7:56 am
i see paige has replaced haeley as poster child for VFTW… that made me cringe. i *liked* that song, too. her perfomance reminds me of a comment simon had made during someone’s audition – “i’m actually allergic to that song now”. lol
March 10th, 2010 at 9:46 am
ol VFTW has that magic power..
I think I should stop watching this season before I end up allergic to every single song they perform~ lol
March 11th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
*sigh* I broke my own “rule” and voted after throwing a bitch fit last week when Park went off. But I wanted to try to save Alex & see him keep growing. Can’t say that Brady Bunch boy deserved a hug from Ellen; however, he was better this week than any other time. Is that saying much though? At this rate it wouldn’t surprise me at all to find no men in the top 5-6.
Girls are tough! IMO there are 5 really good performers. Crystal slays me in both her performances and her whole attitude. Unless she has a misstep I see her as the one for all of them to beat. Like Adam Lambert though, I believe she doesn’t have to win to break into the music business now.
OMG Please someone tell Kara to STFU!! She drones on & on & ad nauseam. Did you know the song that Mike sang? Should I be embarrassed that I never heard it before? That would be why Kara’s crock tears were just weird to me.
Good luck in that office pool LOL
March 11th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
GLENDA!!! I bet you’re super pissed right now! Alex is gone while Tim (who sucks less than previous weeks but still sucks major butt) and Aaron (who should go apply for something at Disney channel) are safe. I don’t get it :(
btw, I’ve never heard ‘this woman’s work’ before either! it’s so funny, my coworker asked me today if I knew the song because she didn’t get Kara either LOL we googled the lyrics up together, and still didn’t get it lol
I forever resign myself from office pool because I’ve lost faith in America!! lol gosh, this top12 is so going to be disastrous!
March 20th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
You’ve made your mark on David Cook—I see him or hear his name & my thoughts immediately go to you :) I really don’t know why they couldn’t have just had him sing 2 more songs instead of me having to have my ears abused by the 2 women singers (and I use that term loosely for them). Ke$ha? OMG She does so suck LOL She also struck me as a Lady GaGa wannabe and she certainly didn’t pull it off that night.
You think it was the flower that did Lacy in? LOL Maybe someone will stick one in Tim’s hair this coming week!
March 21st, 2010 at 9:17 am
ROFL!! I i hope you didn’t see my name imprint on David Cook’s forehead~ oh god, Ke$ha! from what I’ve read, she’s never pulled it off, since she can’t sing live (and A SINGING COMPETITION invited her to perform *headdesks*). this girl will never be Gaga -”-
btw, if the flower works, I hope they stick the entire garden to Tim’s body.. one flower might not be enough for him ^^”
March 30th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
So Paige was the flower girl last week :p I know you haven’t seen the show yet (I think) but Tim probably will still not be the flower boy—saved by pre-teens or VFTW. Won’t spoil anything for you except to say don’t miss Crystal :)
March 30th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
OMG CRYSTAL BOWERSOX!!! Glenda, she’s awesome! plus I’m obsessed with pianist in general, she rocks!
btw at this rate, the sliding dude might crack into top 5, thanks to all american tweens (T__T)
April 7th, 2010 at 10:23 am
It took Casey singing John Lennon’s song for me to realize who he reminded me of sometimes :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewu05-Zcmsg&feature=related
I’m glad Siobhan took it down a few notches. I knew from the first time she hit that “note” in the Aretha song that she would fall in to the trap of using the same gimmick every time. It’s happened to many before her. Case in point Fantasia and her “yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah”.
The Beatles defined my pre-teen & teen years. There are very very few of their songs that I don’t like to some degree. Really with so many songs to choose from I can’t help but wonder at the contestants’ choices. I don’t think it is wise to do a song that a previous year(s) idol has done–especially if he/she nailed it back then. It will make you look bad :p David Cook >>> Mike But then again Crystal >>>that Irish woman with all the tattoos whose name I can’t think of right now but sang Come Together.
I am so loving Crystal both her singing & her humor. LOL Surprised by the bagpiper but it seemed to have fit the song somehow. Wonder if he requested it or what LOL Sorry for being long but one last thing! Is this thing between Ryan and Simon irritating you? The first time it wasn’t funny or dramatic; it’s even less so now IMO. Personal pick for leaving: Tim (please!)
April 7th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
ROFL!!! Hey, someone once serenaded me that Bee Gees song! XD
I agreed with you that contestants shouldn’t do the songs that previous idols nailed already, those songs should be retired. LOL
Crystal should win this thing just by making Lee/Andrew=Gokey Babies joke. btw, my office will go out for Cold Stone ice cream whenever Tim goes :P
As for Simon/Ryan, i think it was funny sometimes, but lately it reached annoying level (along with Kara). even more annoying if the broadcast ends up overrun lol
(your Irish lady is Carly Smithson yo!)
April 14th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Ryan—-can’t believe he acted like that in front of his mother LOL Was reading that even the contestants were wondering what was up with him. Even though I don’t like Brady Bunch Tim, it was still wrong of Ryan to be dancing with some guy while BBT was singing.
Anyway, I’ve worked on taxes all day today (yeah, yeah I know!) & tonight’s AI will be my comic relief I suppose. Predictions for going: Andrew & Aaron (altho I’d prefer at least one of those to be Mike because he was smug)
April 14th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
it’s either his mom gave him some drug or that was his normal self when he’s with her! lol seriously, it was very disrespectful (even to .. Turban) which was really strange because he’s usually pretty good at being nice D:
you’re just like my coworker! waiting til the last minute before submitting her return~
(totally agreed re: Big Mike should go!)
April 15th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I forgot to mention this….I get ticked off every show. Why? Because John Park is shown singing in clips as intro when the live show is coming back on from cm and I always yell at my TV about it ^ ^
April 17th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
ROFL you should form a John Park fanclub or something! ;)
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I’m already spread pretty thin with my fangirling…better John Park should hook up with a boy band to make it easier :p
*sigh* I didn’t watch the Idol Gives Back. Except for 5 parts: Carrie Underwood, David Cook, Wanda Sykes, MJB & who got sent home. Agree with you about DC singing! YES PLEASE! Tim being sent packing was sort of anticlimatic for me. I am sorry the poor guy didn’t get to do a sing out at least not in the Central Time zone area. I had thought it would have been Aaron leaving. Mamasox for the win!!
April 24th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
that’s an awesome idea! John Park should join Big Bang or something! My little cousin will be thrilled!! xD
you didn’t miss much of that show lol they should have skipped elimination this week for the sake of everything positive and I thought it was so mean that Tim didn’t even get to sing out D: since the show ran waaaaaaay over schedule already, it shouldn’t hurt a few extra minutes
GO MAMASOX!
May 2nd, 2010 at 12:03 pm
So much for this being a woman’s year o_0 Totally wrong on that one LOL
Steady on Lee & Crystal, especially Crystal. The rest I wouldn’t lose sleep over any of them going home at this point. Siobhan threw her potential away IMO.
Hula hoop pose? Perfect! I like the mental image & it fits LOL
May 4th, 2010 at 7:17 am
I’d never thought Siobhan would go home before Mike or Aaron D: but yeah, my office is looking forward to Lee/Crystal finale since last month so it doesn’t really matter who goes home between now and then LOL
I’ll let you know you like the ‘hula hoop’ reference, she came up with that a few weeks back, cracked me up! ;)
May 5th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Split votes evenly between Crystal and Lee. Hope neither one leaves. Wanna see them duke it out for top spot :p I’ve been ready for Mike to go since before they saved him. He is a good singer but he’s quite ordinary to me. Casey’s performances run hot & cold. Aaron, I don’t know if its teeny-boppers or VFTW keeping him in. Sarah watched it last night and said he reminds her of the contestant they nicknamed “Chicken Little.” [memory jog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXe0BO_gg-o ]
Harry!! He is SO great! And with his band backing, too, the contestants finally had some decent stuff going on…at least a drummer who could keep the right beat for a song :p I can see why Crystal’s song would be considered sleepy but it is supposed to be “dreamy.” (My mom fed me Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin as a wee babe :p ) I realize that it can work against you if you talk back to the judges; however, so far everything that Crystal has said back to them made more sense (to me) than what they were saying to her. Some of the things Kara says to any of the contestants just sounds odd & not helpful at all but in a way it does beat some of Randy’s less than helpful “dog, I jes wasn’ feelin’ it” remarks. Altho I may think Simon brutal at times, he usually is correct–but not always LOL Ellen I like.
May 14th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
oops! i didn’t get an alert for your comment! *fails*
lol I think we’re getting Crystal/Lee finale, eh? I really like their duet during top 4. (OMG that Chicken Little clip cracks me up so hard! LOL)
I saw the songs that judges picked for top 3, Crystal gets Maybe I’m Amazed (Paul McCartney), Lee gets Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen and didn’t Teflon Tim sing this song already this year?!) and Casey gets Daughters (John Mayer and I almost snooze already lol)
hope they all pick good songs for their own choice, to make it’s a nice top 3!
can’t believe this season is almost over lol
May 26th, 2010 at 10:47 am
Hey! Obviously we did get a Lee/Crystal showdown. I was not impressed. Sorry =( Songs lacked a lot to me. I was confused by them NOT having an original song to sing as their 3rd song. When Lee started singing what would be his first single, Sarah started saying “That’s not original…that’s U2!” “Are you sure? I thought it was supposed to be original?” “Yes I’m sure! Ask Tsubasa, he’d know–it’s U2!” She was right because we looked it up on the internet. I would have preferred to call & ask Tsubasa though ;) Then Crystal’s 3rd song was a remake of one that’s been done by tons of people including Al Green. Maybe Kara was too busy to write new fluff & stuff?
Anyway, I couldn’t work up a bunch of enthusiasm for voting. I did vote maybe 25x for Crystal. Both will do well without winning. It was all very anti-climatic to me. I sincerely wish there had been a WOW moment out of either of them but there wasn’t for me at least.
May 26th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Glenda! I didn’t watch the finale!! LOL after watching the show the whole season, I MISSED THE FINALE! FAILED!!! (was busy staring at Niagara Falls!)
I’ve been waiting for this season to come out with a BANG, but seems like it didn’t happen again last night? (which was not a surprise lol this season is a bummer)
hey, if you get to talk to Tsubasa (hee), ask him when we can expect their single too~ ;)
i guess Lee will win since he’s a dude and girls tend to text more for dudes? LOL we’ll see tonight!
May 26th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
You’re in Niagara Falls?? How weird! My son & his fiancee returned from there tonight LOL It was the vacation from hell though. Many lessons learned on it main one being not to travel with that group of people again :p
May 26th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Oops! Meant to ask you—where was David Cook? Is he on tour? Don’t know if you’ve watched the show yet so I’m not wanting to say too much :)
If I get the opportunity to talk Tsubasa, I’ll probably pass out :p
May 27th, 2010 at 3:49 am
Niagara Falls was fun, my family really enjoyed it :) and yup, trip members are the most important things about each trip! we drove each other nuts-o too LOL
I heard David Cook was in a charity event, so he missed Simon’s goodbye last night, which was a big bummer! I was watching the show and got all excited once they came out one by one, and then Kris and I was like WHERE ARE YOU DAVID COOK?! lol
and Lee won! my texting theory was right!! xD but I didn’t even feel like it’s a WINNING moment for him, that song was kinda awfully out of tune D:
ps. latch yourself onto Tsu before passing out yo! ;)
