All it really did was make me appreciate Paula and her ridonkulous comments more this season! And yeah, I read about the painkillers too. Makes total sense! We all knew she was on something! <br /><br />yeah, I dunno...4 judges is too much so my theory is go back to the tried and true format that works. Although, I can't say that I'd miss the dawg if they took him away lol <br /><br />At some point they are going to have to try a judging panel without Randy, Paula and Simon on it. One of them will eventually not renew. And right now it's looking like Simon next year. But it could be a ploy for money. <br /><br />Ugh...I can't even look out for more than 1 season at a time. That's a lot of potential blogging to think about! lolMike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-90397867586565636282009-05-06T15:46:00.000-04:002009-05-06T15:46:00.000-04:00Oops...should have spellchecked.

I forgot to menti...Mike....Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention about the obvious omissions of Paula's recent confession of being doped up on painkillers (if <I>that's</I> what you want to call it and Adam actually starting out the show by singing first. <br /><br />I agree that the Kara experiment is not what we hoped it would be but I don't think we can call it (or her) a failure. Yes, she's got a language all her own but for the most part she's added some good thoughts. Besides, putting that bikini girl in her place was worth it to me.<br /><br />Having said that, the format as is doesn't work well with 4 judges. If you're going to have a two/two and half minute commerical after each singer and then if judge is going to ramble on and on (not to mention what other antics Paula and Simon are doing), then you're just going to have enough time.<br /><br />Seacrest is a competent host and I think does quite well with the contestants and in moving the show along as best he can.<br /><br />Now, we bemoaned ad nauseum over the meanderings of Paula's indecipherable comments but America likes her. Simon, for all his arrogance and self-esteem, is usually spot on in his comments and America pretty much puts up with him. Kara, I've already mentioned and I think we need to chill on her. She's no worse than the others up there, believe me.<br /><br />Now the Big Dawg is the one I question though. I like him, he's everybody's big brother/uncle but what exactly does he do to complement Idol? "That was the bomb!" or "Dude, you're the hot one tonight" doesn't emote much soundness of judging, does it? Reckon we've kept him and Paula and Simon all these years so we might as well keep them another decade or so. <br /><br />Kara, we can keep. Can we just make the show run faster, tighter, smoother, etc...?Vince Pinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-67665838309845231702009-05-06T13:39:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:39:00.000-04:00I know Laura...i really did ponder picking Kris. ...I know Laura...i really did ponder picking Kris. But sometimes I just have to pick things on principle. I mean..come on..Danny was ridiculously awful! I also picked Kris last week and that didn't work out for me lol And I just don't know how much truth there is to this iTunes rumor. <br /><br />Yeah, I've stated earlier this season...it seems more blatantly obvious this season that the judges are behind certain contestants, the placement of the performers helped sway them into the top 13, eliminate them FROM the top 13. And yeah, these DUETS is just the next trick up their sleeve. <br /><br />I never thought I would miss Nigel Lythgoew (or however you spell it) as executive producer. But this show has really taken a turn for the worse this year. And I'm also fired up that they are keeping the 4 judge panel in place for next season. Kara was an utter failure! <br /><br />ugh anyway back to tonight...as Michael Slezak says on ew.com it's time to put the GO in Gokey! lol I am rarely on the same page as that guy but we've been seeing eye to eye all season lolMike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-5756679381336671652009-05-06T12:24:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:24:00.000-04:00I am beginning to come to terms with the fact that...I am beginning to come to terms with the fact that Kris will go home tonight. I think it should be Danny... his performance was almost unwatchable. <br />I am in shock Mike that you don't have Kris going home! <br />Did they tell us how they picked the duets? It seemed a little fishy that Allison and Adam were together... And that Danny and Kris had to perform there solo ones after the duet... I think a little unfair.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095702278243791203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-30630122015434118272009-05-06T09:11:00.000-04:002009-05-06T09:11:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments Vince and Ian as always! ...Thanks for the comments Vince and Ian as always! <br /><br />Don't worry Vince, I read the link you sent, thanks for that! I figured Adam wasn't in the bottom 2 and it was for dramatic effect. <br /><br />Yeah, either Kris or Danny should be the ones....I am convinced it SHOULD BE Adam and Allison standing for the bottom 2. But, stranger things have happened. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing up the info on the Stage Manager too...that is nuts. I looked up more information on ew.com afterwards. Hope she's okay. <br /><br />Yeah, Kara has made so many backwards comments this season it's impossible to count. I always write them in my notes and keep forgetting to bring them up! lol I have to credit my fiance' for reminding me about this one before I went to "print!"Mike V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952930766822976058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-87548366227716554862009-05-05T23:36:00.000-04:002009-05-05T23:36:00.000-04:00I like how Kris and Danny have almost identical ou...I like how Kris and Danny have almost identical outfits and poses in the photos you used for them.<br /><br />I really hope Danny goes home tomorrow, and I actually think he will. I know Danny has a lot of fans, but I think Kris and Allison's fans might be voting a little harder because they know they face an uphill battle.<br /><br />I thought Adam's solo performance was overrated too. I didn't think it was as stupendous as the judges did. It was good though, and Adam shouldn't be anywhere near the bottom this week.<br /><br />I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed that Kara thinks two songs from 1993 are "early" Aerosmith. I guess the pre-MTV era doesn't exist in her world.<br /><br />Please go home tomorrow, Danny!Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881613487139006347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20543146.post-76242452716155227872009-05-05T23:34:00.000-04:002009-05-05T23:34:00.000-04:00Fine post Mike V.

(By the way, before I forget, I'd like for you to check out the link I sent you in last week's review and comment as you see fit, if you don't mind.)<br /><br />As for tonight, Adam was simply in his element. We knew that Allison would rock the house and our 17 year old did not disappoint. I absolutely loved, loved, loved their duet.<br /><br />Kris and Danny. Danny and Kris. Ugh. Makes no matter to me which one of these guys goes home as long as it's one of them. Danny makes me nauseous---even more so after his ahem, "performance" tonight.<br /><br />Just a note to say how much I hated to hear the news of stage manager Debbie falling off the big staircase this afternoon. You'll remember that she's the one that runs things on stage and aided Brat Pitt when his mike wasn't working on Idol Gives Back. Here's hoping she recovers just fine.Vince Pinsonnoreply@blogger.com
