AMERICAN IDOL-Week 6

***Disclaimer****
Apparently Dan Fogelberg's mom hijacked my blog last week, which is cool, don't get me wrong. But if you want to leave a comment leave your name. Come on! I mean I am just a cool mom who blogs about Idol because it is fun. This is just giving me a break from legal writing. I love music. Seriously love music and will listen to just about anything from classical to country to metal to rock, etc. BUT, sometimes there are things, artists, songs, etc. I don't like and I may mock them. I love Barry Manilow....a lot. My friend Melissa swears everyone in the world is a closet Fanilow, but alas many don't see the beauty behind the man who wrote the songs that made the whole word sing. I heart Bon Jovi...a ridiculous amount. If you don't like him...o.k. well that you probably should keep to yourself....LOL!

OK so tonight was movie theme night. Personally if I were on Idol tonight it would have been a toss up between "Ghostbusters" and "Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta" from Office Space. But alas, I did not get the memo about appearing on Idol. Due to last week's DVR fiasco, the judges had to cut down on critiques. I have a great idea for 19 Productions-cut DiaGuardi. The contestants all met Quentin Tarantino. I must say his movies are all a little on the crazy side. I loved the "Kill Bill" movies. Uma Thurman was such a bad ass. Anyone who can break out of wooden coffin buried underground gets my vote. And speaking of Uma, once as I was coming out of court last summer she was filming a movie right on the courthouse steps. Ahhh, good ol' New York.

Randy-ism-Tonight it is more a Randy quirk-when Randy sucks air through his teeth-you know the critique is not going to be a walk in the peonies.

Allison-she sang "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from the ever so realistic movie Armageddon. I mean seriously I got so caught up in the father/daughter end scene that I forgot to realize that Bruce Willis was going to land a spaceship...on a moving meteor....and blow it up. Right. Anyway it was not my favorite performance from Allison even though I really like her. Simon told her that she was the girls' only hope. Poor Lil got bashed and she had not even sung yet and I mean the only girls left are her and Lil. Not hard to top the Season 8 girl's chart.

Anoop-Good ol' love song of summer 92. Got to love Robin Hood. I think I saw it like five times that summer. I was also spending the entire summer with my grandparents in Florida so I understand why we took so many trips to the theatre. Love that Anoop's wild and crazy accounting fraternity was representing in the audience. I really love Anoop's voice. And he dresses divinely.

Adam: O.K. now you guys know I am not an Adam fan for the winner of Idol, but I will admit that I think he can sing really really well. I still see him more as a Broadway superstar though. I must say, I agree with my future brother in law that the song he could potentially "blow out the box" is "Welcome to the Jungle." I saw so much Axl Rose in him tonight. My love for G N' R runs deep. A good friend of mine personally knows Duff McKagan. She promises that next east coast show for his new band she will get me in-that makes me a little giddy! One thing I will give Adam props for is fitting into those jeans; my thighs are envious.

Matt: So as Quentin was talking to Matt he was playing the piano much like that creepy piano player a few weeks back. It was a rough rendition for him and his notes did crack. I will go on record saying when I hear DiaGuardi say the word "chops," I kind of want to punch her.

Danny: Sans glasses tonight. Am I the only one who notices Danny sometimes wears his wedding band, sometimes not? Interesting. I love Danny. I don't understand why I cannot meet a cool guy like Danny to serenade me...just in scrubs of course (LOL)! He sang Lionel too. Love Lionel. They need to do an Idol Lionel night. There is a catalogue that runs deep.

Kris: I loved Kris' performance and I equally loved that song. I must make that an IPod download.

Lil-YOU GO LIL! Finally she stood up for herself. I totally agree-she "made the song her own." Had she sung it like the original they would have said she was boring. Then they criticized her for doing it her way. Last time I listed to "The Rose" there was no gospel twist. It sounded great. Still not good enough. I kind of want her to stay now all the way to the finals on spite.

I have picked every one right so far but tonight I am really stumped as to who goes home. I want to say Lil, but I think her fans may come through. I hate to say it because I like him but I think Matt is going home.

Hey girl...I commented over at FB but I was having a (and still am) a preggo moment. You have so called it each week. I think it will be between Anoop and Matt (I forgot about him due to the DVR cut off issue which is so tickin me off). SO, please tell me, what is that song Kris sang called, and what movie is it from-was it animated-I'm irritated that I can't figure it out. Hey, if I download it from i-tunes is it?, can I use it on my blog-I'm such a clueless one.

Great post-loved the armegeddon tangent. Loved the ode to fogelberg's mom too;-)

And no, I soooo have NOT noticed the ring thing. Strange.

What is Idol thinking with not sending you a memo to appear on the show!? :) I love the movie Office Space - any time we need a good laugh, that is a great movie to watch! I agree that Quentin Tarantino's movies are all a little on the crazy side too, but good.
So, I still haven't watched a full episode of Idol this year, but I'm so glad that you are still sharing your funny comments about it!!

Arrgghhh, I was so frustrated with last night! I felt like everyone was a step behind and not performing their best at all. But hey, what can you do. I too agree that there are too many "judges" on the panel, they should re-think that, don't think it's working. I don't usually love Anoop, but Kim, I must say this week I saw the light. And yes, you do need a Danny in your life. Let's find him!

LOL! I just went back to last weeks post and read the Anonymous comment! Wow! Somebody had their panties in a knot! You are totally calling it every week! Seriously, like Jenn said you need to be a judge on Idol!

Wow, I would have picked Lil or Anoop (I'm a fan, it's just that he's been cheating idol elimination since the beginning). You were spot on with Matt...impressive!

Kim, you are so good. I hope these producers discover your blog and hire you as an AI consultant! You would rock!
