Outties!

29Feb08

Ah finally Jason Yeager left the show.  I’m just glad I don’t have to see his annoying smile anymore.  And Alexandra Lushington, I think deserves another chance.  But she’s not one contestant that I’ll miss too terribly.  As for Alaina Whitaker, aaawww… now she’s what I call the next big thing in entertainment as she [...]


The girls were a bit off this week, as they are bordering on an unusual mediocrity which reminded me of our own Indonesian Idol contestants -post Joy and Delon, that is.  So, I’m just gonna leave it to the judges about their voices and start commenting on their appearance for a change.  After all, I [...]


Okay before I write anything, I’m just gonna pretend to ignore Simon Cowell’s wink to Ryan Seacrest.  Hang on, let me get myself together.
Almost there…
Just a little bit more…
Okay.  I’ve found my peace, and no, Cowell’s not Seacrest’s love interest.  No. 
Right.  Phew.  Been reading too much Idol blogs that are saying that they are [...]


Yes I am.
There’s a new cool band in town called Sister Duke.  I don’t even know they existed until this evening when my friend Mr. Egghead, a deejay at Hard Rock FM Jakarta, suggested that I listen to them.  I did, and I fell in love with the music there and then.
And as somebody who [...]


I know this isn’t a new quote, but this is indeed suitable for me today.
“Work like you don’t need the money, love like you’ve never been hurt
and dance like you do when nobody’s watching.”
Yeah, sometimes you can just tell when somebody needs lifting up.  And badly.


I should say Ryan Seacrest pulled a rather brutal cut on Garrett Haley last night.  You know, I think I feel kinda sorry for Haley.  He’s a contestant with the lowest camera time compared to the others, and to have been eliminated in the virginal top 24 round is absolutely terrible.  And to make matters [...]


Allright, let’s not talk much and get right on to business.
Kristy Lee Cook.  I never really liked this girl from the very beginning.  She looks so… staged.  Performing Aretha Franklin’s “Rescue Me”, she was definitely… plain.  The tank top was gorgeous, though.
Joanne Borgella, the plus-size model from New Jersey.  True that size doesn’t matter.  And [...]


I never believed in ‘Wild Cards’ when it comes to American Idol.  To me, once you’re out, you’re out.  But I think we can all predict who will be returning to perform in the finals.  He’s my favorite contestant, brothers and sisters everywhere, I am proud to present before you… the today version of William [...]


Right. It’s time again to comment on AI season 7’s top 24 and on to the first 12. It’s the guys’ night and I was eager to see some good performances. Here goes.
David Hernandez started the show with a song that’s quite often heard in the competition. “In The Midnight Hour” [...]


If there’s one thing I can’t miss for a day beside the morning and pre-bed phone calls from Mr. Boyfriend, it’s TV and I mean my beloved cable.
I’ve kinda given up on local TV for quite some time now.  The only things I watch on local TV are news (and put METRO TV on that, [...]
