4月22日 ALL ABOUT THE COWELL!SO THIS WEEK WASN'T REALLY ABOUT THE IDOLS... YOU GOTTIT GUYS, IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE COWELL!
USUALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IDOL, SIMON COMES TO THE FORE BECAUSE OF HIS CUTTING COMMENTS. THIS TIME THOUGH, THE EYES HAD IT!
Unfortunately for Simon, he was allegedly caught on camera 'rolling his eyes' when contestant Chris Richardson paid tribute to those killed in the shooting at Virginia Tech. The crowd booed Simon like crazy and over in the U.S there has been uproar and speculation ever since.
Simon obviously felt obliged to set the record straight. He advised American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, "we must address this story that I rolled my eyes disrespectfully at Chris because he made the comment. The truth is that I had switched off at that point. I was saying to Paula, 'What does he mean that he was singing nasal on purpose?' I didn't understand what he was saying. So I hadn't even heard what he'd said afterwards. And my eye rolling was because of what I was saying to Paula. I have never heard so much rubbish. You know what, half of the time I can't hear what they are saying, and I don't think they can hear what I am saying."
Footage was shown from Idol on American T.V showing that Simon was speaking to Paula at the time. Ryan Seacrest supported Simon by adding, "Let's be honest, no human being would be that disrespectful to anybody involved in that awful tragedy." PERSONALLY I THINK SIMON IS FORTUNATE THAT THEY HAD TONS OF CAMERAS SCATTERED AROUND. IF THERE WAS NO WAY TO SHOW THAT HE WAS SPEAKING TO PAULA AND REALLY COULDN'T HEAR CHRIS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR HIM! THE SHOW:
WELL...WHAT CAN I SAY? I HATED IT, I'VE RANTED ON ABOUT SIMON FOR A WHILE TOO (SO I'M GONNA KEEP IT BRIEF!)
I DIDN'T LIKE ANY OF THE SONG CHOICES TONIGHT, EXCEPT MELINDA'S (SHE ROCKED!) - SHE HAD TONS OF ATTITUDE AND I AGREE WITH SIMON, SHE HAD A TOUCH OF TINA TURNER ABOUT HER. I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME, AS I ALSO AGREE WITH SIMON ABOUT CHRIS. THE WHOLE SONG WAS NASAL AND I THOUGHT HE WAS SO ARROGANT TO 'INFORM' SIMON THAT NASAL IS A TYPE OF SINGING (WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?) - SIMON IS GONNA BE ONE OF YOUR BOSSES IF YOU WIN CHRIS, SO BE NICE (DUH!) FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I THOUGH LAKISHA'S SONG CHOICE WAS BLAND AND IT LACKED ALL THE 'UMPH' SHE USUALLY GIVES. BLAKE (WHO?) WAS DULL AS DISHWATER AND POOR PHIL STACEY LOOKED SO OUT OF PLACE TRYING TO JIGGLE ALONG WITH HIS NUMBER! THE WHOLE SHOW WAS A DISASTER!
AS ALWAYS SANJAYA TRIED HIS BEST, BUT IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT (WITH ALL THE HYPE) THAT I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT HIM ANYMORE. THE OTHER CONTESTANTS ARE IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE AND I THINK TONIGHT SHOULD BE HIS NIGHT TO GO.
IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THE SERIES, I'VE LOVED ALL THE CONTESTANTS PERFORMANCES AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THEY REALLY NEED TO RAISE THE BAR NEXT WEEK OR THOSE WE LOVE MAY WELL BE GONE! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE BOTTOM THREE, THE PUBLIC IS VOTING FOR THE BEST ON THE NIGHT. SONG CHOICE REALLY COUNTS! LUCKILY THE SHOW WASN'T ALL BAD, MELINDA AND JORDIN LIFTED MY SPIRITS AND JORDIN'S HEARTFELT PERFORMANCE STOLE THE SHOW FOR ME. I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH, THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW WAS THE RESULTS... THEY WERE SNEAKY, CLEVER, BUT SO OUT OF ORDER...
WHEN THE VOTING WAS COMPLETE THE CONTESTANTS WERE SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPS OF THREE. ONE GROUP WAS THE TOP THREE AND ONE WAS THE BOTTOM. AS THE LAST CONTESTANT, POOR MELINDA DOLITTLE WAS TOLD THAT SHE MUST CHOOSE WHICH GROUP TO STAND WITH, THE BOTTOM OR THE TOP! SHE HAD NO CLUE WHICH WAS WHICH, SO IT MEANT SHE HAD TO AVOID WHO SHE THOUGHT WAS THE WORST - HOW EVIL IS THAT! NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE WAS HAVING NONE OF IT, SHE JUST PLONKED HERSELF DOWN IN PROTEST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAGE AND REFUSED TO MOVE (GOOD FOR YOU MELINDA!)
HE-HE, RYAN WASN'T IMPRESSED THAT SHE WOULDN'T PLAY BALL AND I'M GUESSING THAT THE PRODUCERS WEREN'T EITHER. LOVE IT! THE VOTES COME IN AND THE BOTTOM THREE ARE...
LAKISHA (SHOCK!) BLAKE (MMMMM?) AND SANJAYA (BOUT' TIME!) HOORAH! THERE IS A GOD! LEAVING IDOL TONIGHT IS SANJAYA!
NEED I SAY MORE, I'LL LET YOU ALL GO OFF AND CELEBRATE HOWEVER YOU FANCY!
SEE YOU NEXT FRIDAY GUYS X AS ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS X

WELL THE TIDES HAVE TURNED AND FINALLY AMERICAN IDOL IS BACK ON FORM!
TONIGHT WE SEE JENNIFER LOPEZ AS GUEST COACH AND (UNLIKE LAST WEEK) I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT SHOW! ARE YOU READY FOR A LATIN TWIST?
 MELINDA - SWAY
Melinda's challenge this week is to be sexy! She admits that she has a problem turning on the charm but I can't see it! She shakes it like a pro and even throws in a latin booty wiggle for good measure. The vocal is smooth and sultry and she's on point. Randy says "that was another solid performance," Paula thought it was subtle and sexy but Simon didn't like it! He said it was lazy and wooden and not a WOW factor performance. Jeeze Simon, what were you watching?
 LAKISHA - CONGA
Lakisha got her groove on during some dance lessons with J-Lo, but I'm worried about her choice of song because this track is fast! Lakisha has latin rhythm in her soul (there's no doubting that), but she's tired and the vocal loses strength in places. It took a lot for her to keep up. Either way she still rocked and had a ball! Randy thought it was kickin' but Paula disagreed and said it was "safe." Lakisha disagreed, she thinks she went out of her comfort zone and moved around a lot more. Sadly Simon agreed with Paula, he didn't like the dancing and said Lakisha needs to raise the bar. This girl cannot go out tonight - vote, vote, vote!
 CHRIS - SMOOTH
I love this song. I just hope Chris can do it justice. Jennifer thought it was too low for him, so she raised the key to give him something to reach for (fingers crossed!)
OUCH! Sorry Idol fans, I don't like it at all. It's off key and where's the sex? There's no umph. Chris seems to be concentrating more on the vocal than the words and this song is all about acting the lyrics. Randy thought is was cool and Paula said it was HOT! Are the judges listening tonight? I don't think so.
 HAYLEY - TURN THE BEAT AROUND
In a classic Idol moment J-Lo and Hayley needed a beat for their rehearsal, so they called on Blake! Our friendly neighbourhood beatboxer stepped in and the ladies were good to go! Jennifer seemed impressed with Hayley's vocal but she advised her to 'bite' the words to fit them all in. I thought the vocal was okay, but the dancing grated on me. It was like a beauty pageant talent section. Tons of cheesy smiles and swaggering about, all she needed was a crown on her head! Randy said it was cabaret and Simon commended her for wearing less to get the votes. "There is no way you can win this with your voice, so you have to get votes in other ways." That's gotta hurt!
 PHIL - MARIA MARIA
Much as Phil's vocals are top notch, I'm concerned that this song is too obscure for the Idol audience. I just hope he gets the votes, because GOD can he blow! He even gives it some attitude and as he belts the last few lines it's goosebump time. Randy didn't think it was his best and said he was missing some passion. Paula loved the vocal, but Simon thought it was flat. Phil advises Simon that his daughter has just bought a new cuddly toy, it's a cow and it's called Simon Cowell. KEEP HIM IN AND NEXT WEEK LET'S SEE THAT COW!!!
 JORDIN - RHYTHM IS GONNA GETCHA
Jordin seems nervous tonight and her vocal is shaking. I don't know about you but Idol should be investing in dance classes! Pretty much all the groovin' going on has been kak! If these kids are gonna hit the charts, surely they need to know how to dance. Sadly, tonight it didn't ring my bell. I just think of Gloria Estefan every time I hear that song. Sorry Jordin x
 BLAKE - I NEED TO KNOW
This is another song that the audience may not connect with. I needn't have worried though, as Blake's hat is enough to distract the audience from the song. What's that about? Will someone sack the stylist! I think Simon will be repeating himself tonight, this is another 'safe' performance (and quite boring). The judges are definately on another planet, they loved it. Simon even said it was the best song and best performance. The world's gone mad!
(NO IMAGE - I WON'T ENCOURAGE SANJAYA MANIA ANYMORE!)
SANJAYA - BESAME MUCHO
This is an authentic Spanish/Mexican song and it embodies the latin spirit. Jennifer is impressed with Sanjaya's rehearsal, she even thinks Simon may like it. He could be in another week people - watch out!
I hate to say it but I have to give him credit. It was a good performance. Sanjaya's vocals can't be compared to other singers in the competition, they're just too good. But he did give it his all and he sang in spanish for crying out loud (you have to give him props for that - if nothing else). Randy said "you are one of the smartest contestants I've met, that was really good!" Even Simon agreed, "It wasn't horrible!"
THE RESULTS ARE IN...
The bottom three tonight are Phil, Chris and Hayley.
I can't say I'm shocked by the result this week. Phil chose an obscure song, Chris didn't have the 'umph' and Hayley's performance was too sickly.
Leaving us tonight is Hayley Scarnato (boo!) - Sanjaya survives another week! What is the world coming too?
Next week Martin McBride is the guest coach, who goes?
Leave your comments.
See you next Friday night x

IMAGES - ITV2 UK/FOX 4月10日 A SAD DAY...SO THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH LIVE SPACES AND I CAN'T POST ANY HTML OR IMAGES??? WHAT'S WITH THAT?
I HAVE TO KEEP IT SHORT AS FOR SOME REASON THE LIVE SPACE SET UP KEEPS BOMBING AND RESTARTING, SO WE'RE WINGING IT PEOPLE!
AS FAR AS NEWS AND GOSSIP GOES IT'S ALL ABOUT SANJAYA... HE'S STILL IN! (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?) THE WEBSITES AND RADIO STATIONS SUPPORTING HIM SEEM TO BE DOING THE TRICK, ALTHOUGH SOME ARE NOW TRYING TO TURN THE TABLES. A LOCAL D.J. NAMED JUSTICE IS ACTUALLY CAMPING ON THE ROOF OF A RADIO STATION IN THE U.S. UNTIL SANJAYA IS CHUCKED OFF THE SHOW!
CHRIS RICHARDSON IS THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION AGAIN TOO. THE WORD ON THE GRAPEVINE WAS THAT HE WAS DATING A PREVIOUS CONTESTANT, BUT NOW THE RUMOURS ARE THAT CELEBRITY LINDSAY LOHAN OR HOLLYWOOD STARLET LAUREN CONRAD ARE IN THE PICTURE??? WE SHALL HAVE TO SEE PEEPS!
SO IT WAS A GREAT SHOW THIS WEEK WASN'T IT?
(NO IT WASN'T I KNOW - SORRY IDOL FANS!)
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I NEVER ENJOY TONY BENNET NIGHT, IT'S DATED AND I JUST DON'T LIKE THE GENRE. DON'T GET ME WRONG THE TUNES ARE CATCHY AND ALL THE CONTESTANTS HAD A GO, BUT IT WAS JUST TOO TWEE. IT'S GETTING TO A POINT NOW WHERE THE STARS OF THE SHOW ARE RISING TO THE SURFACE AND THE SAME NAMES BOB UP EVERY WEEK (MELINDA, LAKISHA AND CO). THE OTHER CONTESTANTS NEED TO START PROVING THEMSELVES. HOW CAN THEY DO THAT WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN SING CURRENT SONGS. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE SINGING OLDIES WHEN THEY HIT THE CHARTS ARE THEY?
HERE'S WHAT THEY SANG...
BLAKE - MAC THE KNIFE
CHRIS - DONT GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
SANJAYA - CHEEK TO CHEEK
HAYLEY - AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'
GINA - SMILE
PHIL - NIGHT AND DAY
JORDIN - ON A CLEAR DAY
MELINDA - I GOT RHYTHM
LAKISHA - STORMY WEATHER
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON IDOL RYAN REVEALED WHO THE TOP THREE ARE (SO FAR) WITH REGARD TO VOTES. THEY WERE LAKISHA, JORDIN AND MELINDA THIS WEEK! GO ON GIRLIES!!!
THE BOTTOM THREE HITTING THE STAGE WERE HAYLEY, PHIL AND GINA. I FELT FOR GINA, SHE WAS ONLY THERE BECAUSE THE SONG DIDN'T SUIT HER. THE SHOCKER WAS THAT AFTER PHIL AND HAYLEY HAD BEEN IN THE BOTTOM THREE MANY TIMES BEFORE, THEY DIDN'T GO!
IT WAS OUR GINA (BUMMER!)
AFTER DOING SO WELL LAST WEEK IT'S PANTS THAT SHE HAS TO LEAVE (BOO!) I LOVED GINA AND REALLY THOUGHT SHE WOULD GO FAR. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THE SANJAYA FARCE IS NOW CAUSING TALENTED INDIVIDUALS TO BE PUSHED OUT! IT'S SHOCKING. IDOL NEEDS TO CHANGE THE RULES TO THE X-FACTOR SYSTEM. THE PUBLIC CAN VOTE FOR THE BOTTOM THREE AND THEN THE JUDGES CHOOSE WHO GOES, IT MAKES FAR MORE SENSE. AT LEAST THAT WAY THE SANJAYA EFFECT CAN BE AVOIDED. CAN YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN EVEN BUY A SANJAYA DOLL ON EBAY! IT'S LUDICROUS THIS!
SADLY GINA DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME, AFTER THE SHOW SHE DEFENDED SANJAYA: “He’s just different. It’s not that he’s better or worse. He’s Sanjaya and Jordin is Jordin and Chris is Chris and Blake is Blake; America, I guess, was through with me, and that’s fine. I’m fine with it. I’m going to tour.”
HOPEFULLY LIVE SPACES WILL BE BACK UP TO PAR SOON... JOIN ME LIVE ON FRIDAY NIGHT FOR MY USUAL FULL COVERAGE X
IT'S LATIN TUNES AND JENNIFER LOPEZ THIS WEEK - SO BE SURE TO POP BACK FOR YOUR FIX OF PICS AND BITCHIN!
FEEL FREE TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS AS AND WHEN AND DURING THE LIVE SHOW.
HUGS - SELENA
