American Idol - Top 8 elimination
Oh God, it’s the one-hour results shows. I bet we can still get it to less than 15 minutes real time.
- Uh-oh, Paula’s drunk again..but now it’s the group song! FFWD.
- 5000 people have submitted songs for the original composition competition. Oh dear God.
- Montage of regular people talking about the show. PLEASE KILL ME.
- A-KON singing. Goodbye. FFWD. All of this bullshit is designed to sell more ad time.
- The morphing Ford commercial has to be the worst yet. Only idiots could possibly like this shit. Except you , honey. You’re not an idiot. *cough* iluvudontkillme
- Africa/guilt trip. FFWD. Comedy bit with Tony Bennett that is spectacularly unfunny - FFWD. A half-a-fucking hour in and we haven’t talked about who is going to be eliminated. And they wonder why the ratings are down.
- Latin show recap - FFWD. Talking to the contestants and Haley whined that Simon’s comments about her strategy hurt a little. Hey, you’re the one dressing like a whore. Shut the fuck up.
- Phil stands - bottom three. LaKisha - safe. There goes my long shot. Jordin - safe. They tease Sanjaya but skip to Melinda - safe. Haley - bottom three. Tease Sanjaya again. Blake - and the ladies go APESHIT every time they say his name. Safe by a mile. Next Chris and Sanjaya are asked to stand together. Sanjaya is safe, Chris is the bottom three. Donna was three for three, I took a shot at LaKisha, so I’m 2 for 3.
- Of the bottom three, Chris is safe.
- A montage of J-Lo’s “genius.” Then we got a montage about how cool she was. It ends with the worst fucking attempt at heterofying Sanjaya that has ever been on television as he awkwardly talks about getting J-Lo’s number.
- J-Lo lip synching to a digitally-enhanced backing track that required a computer to get her in tune...FFWD. She looks great though. Then she babbles about being a Paula-style “critic” which is to say never telling the truth.
- 35 million votes and Haley Scarnato gets the boot! No more tits and ass, people! See ya, Boobs McGee. So we were wrong about boy/girl, but Phil goes next week, you watch!
- Next week is country week and Martina McBride is the coach. Bong! Delete now? Yes, TiVo, please delete now.

I would have thought that either Gollum or Chris was going home. Let’s get real. Rob Thomas already sang “Smooth” as best it could ever be sung. That two bit hack Timberfake couldn’t get the low notes or the high notes. His delivery is dead and nasal no matter what he sings.

It’d almost be funny if Sanjaya won. That might be the thing to finally sink the damn show.

How much have the ratings dropped?
From what I understand, ten percent down so far.
Of course they’re still a ratings monster, so…

my DirecTV HR20 (HD-DVR replacement for the HD Tivo) doesn’t have a 30 second SKIP, but a 30 second SLIP, so it covers a commercial in literarlly 2 seconds (and you can queue a bunch up if you want) and still see what’s on screen.
I slipped most of the show too.
I heart my HR20. :-D
It doesn’t BONG like the Tivo.

Oh boy, country week next week.
You know when I look at who’s left on the show the first thing that jumps into my mind is Grand Ole Opry. YEEEEEFUCKINGHAAAWWWWWW!!!

I am curious to see how Melinda and Lakisha do wit country week. Chris will destroy it like he did when he did that Keith Urban song.
Martina McBride is one of my all tme favorite singers. She has an amazing voice. I bet right now that one of the big previously mentioned girls will attempt one of her songs and possibly destroy it. Melinda could probably pull it off, not sure about Lakeisha. Jorin sings in a country band back here so I think she will be ok. I’m scarred of what the guys are going to do. They are going to seriously ruin some songs and I am not looking forward to it.

I don’t really like her music but Martina McBride CAN wail.
And what’s with this Akon shit? Sorry, one melody/lyric over and over and over does not a good song make. I routinely dismiss any hip-hop artist with a “counter/asker” on stage anyway. You know, the guy who stands in the back or along side, waving his arm at the crowd going, “one time, two time” or “what?”. Gimme a fucking break.
I have similar scorn for that one dancer dude in The Mighty Mighty Bosstones but they get a pass for actually playing instruments.

So say about 2 more seasons before they finally start getting beat in the ratings?

They’ll probably just start controlling the voting if someone clearly doesn’t deserve to be in the top whatever.
You know, like what MTV has been doing for-- well, how long as MTV been on TV? :D
