um...what?

Okay, what brand of crack are the Idol judges smoking?? I can sort of understand them liking 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me' more than Cook's 'Still Haven't Found' (and don't even get me started on Clive "I'm even older than John McCain and dirt combined" Davis's poor song choice), but for the original song? Cook's was the first time I have EVER enjoyed one the the cheesy original Idol songs. I cannot believe that Simon genuinely liked Archeletta's song. It was terrible and boring. MORE BORING THAN THE PHONE BOOK.

/rant

...so I guess I do kind of care. HUH.

Also, I am pissed that my dvr cut off Ruben in the middle of 'Celebrate Me Home.' A) because I actually like that song and b) because just looking at Ruben makes me happy.

P.S. - Did anyone else catch the Chasez shout out in this week's Gossip Girl recap? Thanks, Jacob. xoxo!

I totally agree with you on the original song. But like you said earlier, DC would probably be better off not winning. DA's stuff is sooo generic sappy pop. He's going to win. :-P

DA is so easily mold-able. He's like a long-lost, less good-looking, less charismatic Jonas Brother. I don't want DC to win... but you know, some acknowledgement of his awesomeness would be nice :P

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW ARCHIE GOT THIS FAR

ALL he does is fucking cheesy ballads and bullshit pop songs and NEVER changes anything in any song. Except My Boo, which SUCKED.

UGH, this makes me irritated.

Also, he hit a terrible note in Don't Let the Sun, and ANOTHER truly bad note in Imagine (which, when he first sang that, was the precise moment I started to hate him with every fiber of my being) and the judges didn't say a damn word about it.

Chasez would've been all OVER that shit.

OMG, I think Randy Jackson is getting regular blowjobs from David A. It's the only fucking logical explanation as to why Randy will NEVER say a bad thing about him at ALL, even when he fucks up BIG TIME.

I just don't understand how they can ALWAYS look over the fact he's not original, doesn't move out of his comfort zone and does NOTHING but stand up there awkwardly then gasp and wheeze and cry like a fucking *child* after EVERYTHING.

Call the cyber predator guy dude. Randy'll be in jail in 2 weeks, tops.

I think Randy is on total cruise control. he knows who the producers want to win and he's just spinning as hard as he can, saying the same shit week after week. And Paula hasn't been nearly crazy enough to make up for that boring ass shit.

WERD.

Man, Simon used to be the only sane part of this show for me, but tonight it looked as if someone had a gun to his head and was like "you know who you've been rooting for Cook all season? We'll kill your fucking family if you disagree."

And here I thought Simon was in Cookie's camp. :(

I did too. Maybe Simon realizes that it'd be better for Cook not to win, so he has a chance to make an actual album instead of the over-processed grossfest that Clive Davis is surely, at this very moment, hiring "profession songwriters" to create for the winner, because pop singers shouldn't write their own songs. (I really hate Clive Davis.)

Clive Davis is like the undead, yo. Just when he apparently he got freakin' DEMOTED, he comes back to haunt the show. Ugh.

I'm in the DCFTMFW!!! camp because runner-up is never a guarantee for success (unless you sell your soul to Clive anyway) and with winning, you're at least assured of a certain level of backing from the reconrd company. Besides, DCook really does deserve that Raining Confetti moment.

Idol pissed me off tonight in so many ways.
Simon can kiss my ass, Randy can take his PHONE BOOK and stuff it and Paula needs new writers. Also, Clive Davis needs to retire. Now.
And no one will ever sing "Don't Let the Sun..." the way Clay Aiken did, IMO.

SEE WHAT THAT SHOW DID TO ME? It made me crabby.
*sigh*

Hey, at least we get to see Michael John's hot ass dance around the stage tomorrow! That should make everything better.

But no Danny Noeriega :( There weren't enough tickets for him, apparently. HA.

Hmmm, I don't know why people use the word hate to describe someone they don't even know.

I actually like David Archuleta.

I don't hate the kid. I just think he's boring and the judges are so obviously trying to swing the show in a certain way that it reflects poorly on him, like he didn't earn the win (which he will surely win) but instead, like the show set him up to win.
