American Idle

I didn’t really care who won American Idol, and to be honest I was more excited about Cyndi Lauper.  Okay, and Lionel Richie. I was very bitter after Jorge, the Puerto Rican with a heart of gold, was voted off like week 2 and totally effed my chances of winning our agency’s Idol pool.
There seems [...]

I heart the Canadians!

Damon’s a guy’s guy. He leaves the toilet seat up. He plays computer games that involve AK-47s. He smells sometimes.
So it may come as a surprise to you that he walked into the room just now, declaring: “I am going to show you why Canadian Idol is better than American Idol.” While most guys [...]

So good! So good! So good!

Neil Diamond reminds me of the early nineties, riding around in my mom’s oldsmobile. (Also on the Cutlass Supreme cassette deck: Streisand, Bolton, Dion.) I don’t mind him, really - he’s not someone I LOOOVE but I’ve been known to belt out the lady-part of “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” from time to [...]

Things Said…

during Kristy Lee Cook’s performance of the schmaltzy Lee Greenwood ballad, “Proud to Be an American” during last night’s American Idol.
Jenn: “Are you fucking kidding me?”
Jenn: “…”
Jenn: “No way.”
Jenn: “This has to be fake.”
Jenn: “What, so this is supposed to get the red-state vote?”
[five seconds later]
Jenn: “Oh my God, this girl’s a genius.”
Damon: “Why?
Jenn: “Freedom [...]

Most Pointless Entry Ever.

Even though Damon and I live together, we have completely opposite schedules. I’m ususally in bed by eleven, while that kid stays up to the wee hours. Most of that time is spent playing Counterstrike, but I’m finding that he also has a penchant for international talent competitions. He introduced me to Canadian Idol a [...]

I Refuse to Talk about Sanjaya.

Re: Last night’s American Idol…“Music Gwen Stefani Likes” does not a theme make!
…Still bitter about Gwen Stefani after that bitch stole Gavin Rossdale right out from under me… when I was thirteen.
I brought my very first diary back from Grand Rapids, and the last third is about my Bush/Gavin obsession:
November 12, 1996: “7 days until [...]

Couch Potato Season

American Idol is ridiculous this season. I definitely don’t have a standout favorite, like the OMG McPheever of ‘06.  I kind of dig “beatboxer guy” and “rocker chick,” but can anyone explain to me how SANJAYA squeaks through every week?! Who keeps voting for him?! Ey yey yey!!! (Oh Snap. Apparently, Howard Stern and fans are [...]

Renege. (which, until now, I always spelled as “renig”)

“If that girl made an album, I would totally buy it,” I said, last year, of American Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee.

And then…

I take it back! I take it back!

328

About three months ago, I made my American Idol predictions.
Two of my final three that I chose were correct. (I thought Ace was going to make it further, but that was before I found out that he was the biggest TOOL, ever, like ZOMG.)
Also, I said of Taylor Hicks, “He won’t win, but he’ll be a [...]

Dignity, Out.

Dear America,
Who among you continues to vote for BUCKY COVINGTON on American Idol every damn week?

You should be ashamed of yourselves.  That kid should have been eliminated before he even opened his mouth.
Love,
Jenn. XXOO
P.S. OMG KATHERINE MCPHEE 4-EVAARRRRRR LOL
(Also, I’m saddened by the fact that Ryan Seacrest doesn’t officially end the broadcast by announcing “Seacrest, Out!” anymore.  This amused [...]

Vonda Shepard?!?!?

Things About Which I Am Embarrassed I
I am really, really excited about the new season of American Idol.
My Picks Thus Far…
Katherine McPhee, 21.

Because she’s talented, but mainly because she reminds me of myself.
Hello, narcissism? Speaking.
Ace Young, 25

Because ninety percent of the population would probably have his babies.
Mark my words, Ace will be in the final [...]
