Some Loose Thoughts

You know what I hate more than anything is when someone or something ends and you do not have the ability to get to give it the well deserved standing ovation that is heartfelt and very very emotional. You know, the one that Vikings fans will give to Farve after week 15, 16 & 17 only for him to come back the following year.

Anyway but the Standing O non of us will be able to give is to the farewell of the greatest show ever known to man; of course I am speaking to American Idol. As all of you probably know the pill popping sensation Paul Abdul left Idol because while Simon, Jackson & Seacrest were getting bajillions of dollars she was only offered a 5 million dollar contract and told them to piss off. She figured the show would just not be the same with out her constant withdrawals and spitting on Jackson and the producers would come around.

Well you know she was right, the show will not be the same. We all watched in anticipation for her to go into one of her Oxicodine rants that made little sense but that we all knew was from the heart and very nice. My favorite parts would be when she would start shaking uncontrollably because she was trying to figure out a way to tell some one they suck but still be nice and tactful.

So whatever, she is gone and I was still going to watch. I knew they would have special quests such as Posh, Katy Perry and some of the J-Bro’s and I was ok with this. it would not be the same but it would still be entertaining. Now they fucking bring in Ellen De God Dam Genreres to fucking be the 4th Judge for ever. What in the hell where they thinking. She literally sucks so much as a person and a lesbian that I would not even want to see her with another woman naked and doing weird shit with each other. She sucks so much. I am pretty sure her only fans are 38 year old housewives who sit at home during the day and get off to the thoughts of their lesbian experiences when they where in college and experimenting. I just do not know what they were going for, I get they wanted to have someone who is always going to be nice but they really dropped the ball on this one.

So I say goodbye forever to you, my favorite show since 90210 (original), you will forever be in my heart.

So the big news today is that AT&T went to not one but 2 parties in Arkansas (Allen’s home state), each which help about 300 people during the Idol Finale. AT&T provided each guest with a cell phone and taught them how to “power text”, which shows you how to send 10 text’s at once, this apparently is against Idol rules.

OK, lets break this down. Of those 600, how many did not have Cell phones when they walked in? 100? no way, I will go with 10. OK from those 600, how many people did not know you could not send multiple text messages at once? this number is probably higher, lets say 200.

But even if everyone did not have a cell phone and did not know how to text:

600 people x 10 text messages = 6,000

Now lets say each person sent 20 of these

6,000 x 20 = 120,000 votes.

Ok so Allen won by a “landslide” and there was nearly 100 million votes so a landslide has to mean he got 60 million votes at least… So I don’t really think this had any affect (effect?, I never know).

From NY times:

AT&T May Have Swayed ‘Idol’ Results

While Hurricane is passed out face first on the beach somewhere in the carribbean I figured it was my duty to continue ihis American Idol recap.  Except I won’t get… uh… how do I say this… I won’t get “aroused” for Adam Lambert.  That is Hurricane’s job… he loves those girly guys.  Personally, I can’t stand his standard falcetto on every song.  It annoys me.  Is he talented?  Sure.  Does he show up in my dreams?  Of Course.  I wouldn’t be so quick to guarantee him being in the Top 2…

Anyway, ever since the auditions Danny Gokey has been my MAN.  I like his stupid dancing, he sings amazing and his beard… gotta love the beard.  Anyway, regardless of what I said above, Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert with be in the Top 2 and Gokey will win.  Lock it up.

I feel like every which way I turn some actor/actress is trying to become a singer/songwriter or director /producer or porn star. See Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, J-Bro’s. Johansson trying to be a director, Tom Hanks, oh wait, he is a good director, never mind.

In the latest installment Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl fame just came out with what one can only assume is the anthem of the 2009 summer with the band Cobra Starship. Has a lot of similarities to the Shake, Shake Shake it song of 2008, which we all know I rocked out to every night at the Drift inn last year, so one can only assume I will have a ripped white V-Neck on, beer all over me, just ROCKING out to this tune in the Hamptons. Additionally this song was written/produced by Kara DioGuardi of American Idol judging fame.. My world are colliding

Side note UPDATE – I love her so much

I do not have that much to say.. It will be a top 4 boys show. Kris was very very good, Adam was good, Gokey was good..

I really just do not have that much to say here. Look I love the rat pack, I will listen to any of their music anytime, but we are in the final 5 here on a show that is for children and young adults (wait, what category to I fit into? weird dude in his late 20’s watching a 16 year old girl and looking and judging her every move? that’s cool), and they are really out-dating themselves here. I want JT, J-Bro’s and Rihanna so please please make that happen.

So today is Friday for me. I am off to Vegas to find the love of my life and ask her to Marry me 45 times, then hopefully get married, win the lotto the next day and spend the next 6 months hating her and then actually falling in love with her.. I feel like they could make a movie out of that.

Anyway I probably will not be posting anything today as that is all I can think about but I do have a few things to follow up on.. so lets do it:

• Idol – WTF, it’s officially fixed. America voted off Allison and Lil but the talking heads did not want a 5 guy top 5 so they fudged the numbers and got rid of Anoop Dog.
• Boston Bruins are sick, winning the Cup, cue the f-ing duck boats
• Red Sox V. Yankee’s starts tomorrow night, and I swear to god if Joba throws at Youkilis some very bad things will happen

• I went to the  stadium last night, so now have been to Citi Field and Yankee Stadium and we are in week 2 of the season.. just saying.. Anyway I really liked the site lines it had, really liked the food, REALLY enjoyed the $9 Bud Lights, and liked how Billy’s Sports Bar outside has been refurbished into a Strip Club without strippers.. I did not like how they do not have a stand going around the stadium so you can put your drink down while to stand to watch the game, Citi Field has this
• Hey Atlanta, I realize you are the Hawks, but WTF, really have a halk indoors and you think it won’t roam around.. Idiotic. Hey Hawk, say hello to your motha for me

Ok, ok, so my hot date was not around untill 10, so I was actually able to watch the entire show, and catch up on my DVR, which was very full. I have a couple of things to note, so I will go with the bullet point method:

• I think I have figured out Adam Lampert.. No you sicko’s not that he is gay, not that there is anything wrong with that, but how he performs. He takes these really fast edgy songs and slows them down, but not just the verses, he, unlike every other contestant in history, slows down the chorus too. What this does is always leaves you wanting more, you keep wanting more and more and you don’t get it. What does this do? It gets all the confused teenage boys to vote for him.
• My favorite part of the show was when Paula was crying during Adam’s song.. I honestly believe she thinks he was singing about her and does not realize he enjoys a cockmeat sandwich, not that there is anything wrong with that..
• The American Idol top 5 will be 5 guys, Allison “I am 16 but dress and act like I am 22″ is terrible and Lil just outright sucks
•  I liked the performances of Anoop and Gokey
• Matt Girard had a very good performance, still reminds me of JT but not as good.
• Kris Allen definitely stole the show. His southern accent and the way he sings will drive the girls crazy.. New leader in my book

WTF.. I can find a video for Kris’ performance… Audio included now, will update later..maybe

Fast Forward to the 2:45 mark:

Cheerleaders? Your favorite part? YEA… RIGHT. The other contestants couldn’t help but laugh at that.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

TV American Idol

Last night was nothing short of lackluster, 100% Lil rounds is gone, she is just not any good, always chooses the wrong songs and then butchers them to be an even worse song. What I do not get is ever week we keep having one less performance and every week it seems like they are rushing through the judges comments, what is the deal with that.

So instead of posting any of the crappy performances from Idol last night I am going to give you an actual performer, ladies and gents, SLTHQ is proud to present Susan Boyle. I unlike Simon Cowell did not see this coming, I was fully expecting the next William Hung but what we got was nothing short of spectacular.

How is Simon doing Brit’s got talent and Idol?
