Country-fried American Idol

My man is back with a hot performance! Whew! Yay for Anoop because another bad performance would've meant a one-way ticket back to Chapel Hill.

And, in another random twist, I kinda enjoyed Corkrey-Corky-Corkscrew this week ... yeah, I was surprised with myself but the song was kinda catchy and she only swiggled once (probably because she had the flu), which tempered my hateration for her.

Uh, Alexis? She looks weird to me and is utterly unlikeable. Eat a sandwich and get rid of the pink hair tips.

Are Anoop's Days Numbered?

I didn't get to watch American Idol last night because Whitestar decided to go on a 4 hour Madden-athon, and since I didn't program it on his Tivo and could not interrupt his game to manually hit record, I had to wait until this morning to watch clips on YouTube.

What'd we think?

I was kinda bored by everyone, truth be told. And poor Anoop ... the judges hated him. While his version of Beat It wasn't all that exciting, it wasn't all that bad either ... not nearly as bad as the blogs or judges made it out to be.

You know who's a snorefest? Michael Sarver and Kris Allen ... boring and more boring.

I Might Be A Stalker

Okay, I have issues. Since I have perfected my fried chicken recipe (marinade at least 12 hours in buttermilk-hotsauce mixture and dredged in a 10 spice flour concoction), I've moved on to my latest obsession: Anoop Desai from American Idol. I can't help myself ... he's so adorable.

I have decided that Anoop and I are soulmates. Why? Because his college thesis was 60 pages on the history of southern barbeque. How awesome is that? I love food and the man wrote 60 fricken pages on barbeque! Who knew I'd find my soulmate in a 22 year old American Idol wannabe? Anoop, I heart you.

So, in the middle of stalking Anoop on the internets, I came across this clip which made me love him even more: a YouTube video of him singing with the UNC Clef Hangers. IT IS HILARIOUS ... though, I'm not sure if it was intentionally funny or not, but still quite enjoyable. Keep an eye out for the three-footer on the right hand corner ... he looks about 10 but apparently still a Tar Heel.

Snoop Snoop Anoop!!

I LOVE ANOOP DESAI!! Oh, American Idol ... you sure have hooked me this season. This guy is dork central, but he's fricken adorable ... and man, can he work a crowd. I think he's got that underdog thing going for him because the crowd went WILD and I found myself smiling through his entire performance. The man's got heart, my friends. And while I don't normally root for Carolina blue, I did like that he shouted out Chapel Hill and did a Duke-Carolina rivalry reference to Kara (who is a former Duke-y).

I think it might be Anoop's year! I'm going to India in April; Slumdog Millionaire killed at the Oscars; and Anoop came back from the dead ... I think the stars are aligned.

Oh, and what's up with Corkrey or Corkscrew or whatever her name is?? She's doing that annoying ass jiggle of hers ... you know what I'm talking about. The hip-duck-wagging thing ... ugh, all season of this?!? Let's get rid of her soon ... I'm not into the whiny-so-called-singing voice ... its close to the robot voice and we all know how much I hate that shizz.

Edward Cullen is an American Idol?

Randy Jackson and I are totally in sync. What does this mean? It means I should definitely be a judge on this show, cuz we all know that I have my fingers on the pulse of America.

So, American Idol just finished and the last kid on it, Adam Lambert (dude that was a singer in one of my most favorite musicals ever, Wicked), sang the Stones' Satisfaction. The entire time I was saying that he should be cast on Twilight the musical! And then Randy says he was a cross between Mick Jagger, Fall Out Boy, Edward Cullen (!), and My Chemical Romance. HAHA. Major props to me for my deep insight.

What of the others? Did they redeem themselves after the awful 3 beginning singers? Here are my observations:

Allison Irehata: she doesn't just sing ... .girl can saaaannng. Lawd. BUT, I just can't get behind her cuz she looks like she can also be a Bret Michaels Rock of Love chick. Come on! I know she's 16, but hear me out on this ... just picture her with the rest of the Rock of Love girls, drunk, screaming, and of course crying while she tries to rip the weave out of another drunk, screaming, and crying chick. Right?!?

The Corkscrew or Corkskey or whatever her name is girl with the fatty tattoo on her arm: I dig her voice cuz she's got a stank to her that I like, BUT what's up with the weird chicken-duck-tail-wagging move that she was doing during her performance? SO annoying and every time she did it, I wanted to push her. So, I liked you but I can't imagine an entire season watching you do that awful butt shaking move.

I didn't really care for the rest of the "singing" this week. What's up next? THE FINALE OF TOP CHEF! *sigh* I am totally in reality TV heaven right now.

Come On American Idols!

Uh, what the heck is going on American Idol right now?!? We're only three singers in and they all SUCK. Like, embarrassingly suck. Like, you've just brought disgrace to your family kind of suck. Like, time-to-cut-your-hair-and-change-your-appearance kind of suck.

Why am I still watching this show?

Well, there's still an hour and a half left, so I will try to be patient. Please let someone sing a good song or else I will never get these two hours back.
