That is not a joke. Actually, it’s a big, big joke, but it’s a serious joke. Those tattooed kids who pretend to be “alternative”? Don’t kid yourself: what they really want is to fit in with the popular kids and bang the popular girls. It’s just like high school, with money. Okay, I take that back: the music business is supposedly junior high school with money. Hollywood is high school with money. Either way, it’s a bunch of people who will contract V.D. far, far earlier than I ever will. “Syphilis, how it started off with just a kiss…”

Last night’s “American Idol” results show had a few surprises and a few not-so-surprises. There wasn’t a ton of fluff…thankfully no group performance other than the stupid Ford commercial that gets more ridiculous every week.
Then before the special guest performance, Ryan Seacrest divided the remaining 9 contestants into three groups–the top 3, middle 3, and bottom 3. The first group was Blake, Chris and Sanjaya and we all knew this was the middle 3. But Seacrest went on to the other groups first. The next one was Haley, Gina and Phil, and there had to be no doubt in anyone’s mind what group this was. Finally, he went to the power trio of Jordina, Melinda and Lakisha and declared them safe and the top 3. Well, duh. Then Blake, Chris and Sanjaya were also sent back to safety, and unfortunately that means Sanjaya was no lower than sixth in overall voting. People, you are scaring me with this kid!
Then, instead of Tony Bennett performing (he had the flu), we were treated to Michael Buble….I’ve never seen or heard this guy but he is really a great singer. I could have done without the Antonella Barba comments and banter with Seacrest, but sometimes the producers of AI are looking for any angle whatsoever.
After the break, Phil was sent back to safety, and I have to say that my wife’s five votes may have saved him. Though I still wasn’t offended by the bottom 2 America chose (other than the fact that Sanjaya SHOULD ALWAYS BE THERE).
So it was down to Haley’s legs (and they were once again in full view) and Gina and her tongue ring. Gina was tearfully sent on her way and for a moment, all was right with the world. It was definitely time. Haley and Phil will be going next, no question about it…and hopefully Sanjaya will soon follow because this charade has reached epic proportions.
The Elite 8 looks like this:
Melinda, Lakisha, Jordin, Blake, Chris, Sanjaya, Haley, Phil.
And if Melinda isn’t your choice to win it all, you should really have your ears checked. See you next week….
