4/11: Haley finally heads home

I was at a party, arriving in time for the final two: Phil Stacey and Haley Scarnato.

I did say last night that it would be Haley. I hedged by bets this morning by switching to Phil. Either way, no big loss.

I see Chris Richardson was also in the bottom three again. I guessed wrong there, saying Melinda as a shocker. No shock that Chris is there since he’s been there before.

Well, I’m now watching the prior 57 minutes. I now see ways to kill time to stretch 30 seconds of news into 43 minutes instead of 22.

1- Ryan interviewing regular people, eliciting mostly blah answers.

2- Akon singing the No. 1 song in America, “It Don’t Matter.”

3- Video of Simon Cowell in Africa where students mock his man boobs.

4- Negative comments from the judges supposedly in front of Tony Bennett.

That was the first 30 minutes.

Then they did the roundup from Tuesday night, which eats up another three minutes.

At 35 minutes after the hour, Phil Stacey moved to the bottom three. Not a single bit of reaction from the audience, which says a lot. Then Haley, then Chris, who did elicit a few boos. At 43 minutes, Chris gets his reprieve. Interestingly, he doesn’t even hug the other two, just walks away.

Then it’s a long excerpt with J. Lo and how much everyone loved her and how normal she is for a big star. Sanjaya hitting on her was a wee bit uncomfortable indeed. She sings a cut from her latest Spanish-language CD. She sounds okay for her.

Overall, it was a looong hour as always when they do one of these.

American Idol 6: Top 8 Results

No recap tonight, folks. I'm just not feeling up to it. I hurt my back at work today, and I just can't sit in front of this computer for very long.

Suffice it to say that I'm happy that Americans picked talent over nudity tonight and sent Haley home. I hope she has lots of luck in finding a career in which she can keep some modicum of dignity. (Haley, please, no matter what you do, when Playboy comes calling, don't do it.)

I'll be writing some more stuff as the week goes on, so don't forget to drop by.

Top 8: Results

Pre-showIt’s adios for someone. With discographies in the genre overflowing with gems that could have produced several proverbial “moments”, we had some wedding reception staples instead. I must digress about Latin music. I don’t[...]

Jaime writes: Last night's episode of 'American Idol' left a lot to be desired for me.

Of course, I still love Melinda. LaKisha kind of bored me. The outfit didn't agree with her, and the song was not-so-wonderful. Blake was kind of a highlight for me. He's kind of growing on me. But, he might have been a highlight because all of the others were so...just so. Jordin - wonderful. I love that girl, and I'm beginning to pull for her more than Melinda. Phil wasn't so bad last night, though his voice did crack at the end. Chris Richardson - I can't take a lot of him, but again, he wasn't so bad.

Haley. She has nothing going for her as far as her voice goes. I do agree with Simon on that.

Sanjaya - go home! I cringe every time I see him and listen to him.

Dialidol.com hasn't been on top of it this year. They have Blake as number one vote-getter, and Chris, Jordin and Lakisha in the bottom three. I guess I'll have to sit through tonight and see who gets voted off.

it's time for a shock!: a SIMULBLOG...

I cannot begin to describe how I detest these one-hour results shows. The reasoning? They gotta give the booted kid enough time to sing the song that got them killed in the first place. Yeah. Right. Knock off the foolish banter or cut out one commercial. That'll be enough time.

But no. We must increase our time while our cast of characters continues to decrease.

Well, all I gotta say about this is: there BETTER be a GROUP SING!

Jennifer Lopez will make a repeat appearance to hawk her poorly-selling CD; it will be on the top of the charts tomorrow. We will get a FORD COMMERCIAL! We will get interviews with the kids, because we really haven't gotten to know them this season. We will get 37 minutes of commercials. We'll have to endure more appeals for contributions to the "Idol Pats Itself On The Back" spectacular. But we better not get repeat performances from last night by the bottom three.

There's a scent of a SHOCKER in the air, and most pundits, myself included, think it's gonna be KiKi's last stand. Dial Idol has everyone but Blake in dangerous territory, so it's anyone's guess who might fill the bottom tier. I wouldn't be surprised to see a LaKisha/Jordin tandem, if, for no other reason than to boost Jordin's stake a bit higher going into the final seven show. But I still expect Phil and Haley to be there, because, well, they've pretty much homesteaded the seal this season. They just won't leave. And since every bootee this season has been kicked to the curb in their first (and only) trip to the bottom three, it's unlikely they'll leave tonight.

But we can hope.

Because THIS is American Idol.

And this is a SIMULBLOG, which means it's being blogged live, as the action is unfolding in the Eastern time zone, complete with typos and incoherence, published at each significant break, so if you're from another time zone, like, for instance, Botswana, and you don't want the bad news until it airs in your neck of the woods, you might want to check out Pogo. That Qwerty game is kicking my butt. But stop back by after the show to gnash teeth with everyone else.

Ryan kicks off the show with the expected banter and has a little fun with this season's whipping boy, Sanjaya. See? This season just wouldn't be the same without him. Sanjaya, that is. Not Ryan.

YAY! Group Sing! Very entertaining. But I'm going through group sing withdrawal, so anything would be good.

Skin alert Yellow. Haley's got clothes on.
