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.

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.
