Tonight, Dolly Parton is the guest singer on American Idol. I just can’t wait to hear Syesha singing country glitz, but Kristy Lee and Brooke should be right in their element. More interesting will be how David Cook manages to transform country to rock. This will be a week that rewards careful song selection and performing versatility, man.
Yet one more time, I don’t see Kristy going down this week. And you can take dat to da bank!

The Nittany Turkey says
The Turkey is here.
—TNT
The Nittany Turkey says
And, Dolly casts a fine shadow.
The Nittany Turkey says
I repeat, Brooke and Kristy are not in danger tonight!
The Redhead says
Hi Turkey!
This is a great Dolly Parton song and the worst version I have ever heard.
Sorry babe.
The Nittany Turkey says
Knowing that this is not your favored genre, I shall make allowances for you this evening.
The Redhead says
Refresh me on Brooke: Is she the one who did Here Comes the Sun?
The Redhead says
I agree with Simon–this song requires passion and she lacked it.
The Nittany Turkey says
I agree with Dolly.
The Redhead says
I am not a Brook-Ite.
The Redhead says
What did Dolly say?
The Nittany Turkey says
Dolly is sitting on my lap.
The Nittany Turkey says
Can’t tell you what she whispered in my ear. It’s a secret.
The Nittany Turkey says
OK, OK. I’ll tell you.
She said, “Paula is full of shit.”
The Nittany Turkey says
He’ll do the Frankie Laine version of Little Sparrow.
The Nittany Turkey says
I liked it. I could listen to this guy.
The Nittany Turkey says
Simon got on Carly’s case about “Blackbird.” Now he’s making noise about sparrows. What’s Simon got against birds?
The Redhead says
I was in the kitchen so I missed it.
I take your word for it, Turkey.
The Redhead says
This isn’t working for me.
She sounds winded and a bit off-key.
The Nittany Turkey says
This is the karaoke version.
The Nittany Turkey says
Yeah…”PITCHY”
The Nittany Turkey says
Shaddup, Paula.
The Redhead says
Ha! Simon said it.
The Redhead says
Last week it was a “theme park,” this week a “cruise ship.”
I think it’s a safe bet to say that Simon probably does not do Disney.
The Nittany Turkey says
I think next week it will be Disney Cruise Lines.
The Nittany Turkey says
Now, Jason Castro will do an acoustic version of “Two Doors Down.”
The Redhead says
For a few minutes there today, I thought maybe you had flown to Philadelphia.
The Redhead says
Not Islands in the Stream?
The Redhead says
Oh yeah, the Gibb Brothers wrote that song…Dolly and Kenny sang it.
The Redhead says
Turkey must be out for a snack.
The Nittany Turkey says
Philadelphia was one of my April Fools jokes.
The Redhead says
Oh! I missed that joke. Shucks. You got me!
The Redhead says
This isn’t too bad. Better than usual.
The Nittany Turkey says
The other one was a Turkey article about our ex-quarterback getting a Rhodes Scholarship.
The Nittany Turkey says
I regard this as non-memorable background radiation.
The Nittany Turkey says
No, Randy. It was just a-ight.
The Nittany Turkey says
What DOESN’T Paula love?
The Nittany Turkey says
I’m with Simon.
The Redhead says
Simon is one tough dude!
I bet that blog was fun to write!
The Nittany Turkey says
Oh, Jay-sus! A bombastic version of Here You Come Again.
The Nittany Turkey says
Carly is a legend in her own mind.
The Nittany Turkey says
Yeah, the blog was great fun to write, especially because Morelli was a total idiot.
The Redhead says
Ouch! That last high note hurt my ears.
The Nittany Turkey says
This song was lighthearted until Carly wrapped herself around it.
The Nittany Turkey says
Come on Simon. Brutal honesty!
The Redhead says
If that’s one of the “better peformances of the night,” the next thirty minutes is going to be tiresome.
The Nittany Turkey says
😀
The Redhead says
Oh my God! I can’t believe that outfit! Good for Simon.
The Redhead says
Good for Simon.
The ludes really are working for Paula tonight.
The Nittany Turkey says
This is what I want from Simon. None of the politically correct “be nice” shit. Just tell it like it is.
The Nittany Turkey says
And now, the pre-teen heartthrob.
The Nittany Turkey says
I bet Kristy does Rocky Top.
The Nittany Turkey says
If they do something to make him look older, I might actually like him.
The Redhead says
This guy is pretty good.
The Nittany Turkey says
Paula is irrelevant.
The Nittany Turkey says
Yeah, I agree. Best so far. Until Kristy, that is.
The Nittany Turkey says
If she does it with emotion (which she won’t) it’ll be a good song for her.
The Redhead says
This is a good choice for her.
The Nittany Turkey says
Git that microphone out yer mouf.
The Redhead says
This is the best I’ve heard her.
The Redhead says
I think country is her genre.
The Nittany Turkey says
Oy, bare feet.
The Nittany Turkey says
She’s safe this week, as I said.
The Nittany Turkey says
Paula—shut the fuck up!
The Redhead says
For once, I agree with Paula.
The Nittany Turkey says
What Simon said. I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to her. She ain’t no Carrie Underwood.
The Redhead says
No, I don’t agree with Simon on this one. Yes it was “forgetful,” but it was still better than last week!
The Nittany Turkey says
But I still don’t mind looking at her for another week, which we will.
The Redhead says
Yes, of course she will take on “I Will Always Love You–” it’s so Whitney Houston.
The Nittany Turkey says
I will miss Chikezie doing Two Doors Down.
The Redhead says
Somebody (Simon, will you, please?) needs to tell these singers to stop doing Whitney Houston-style singing! I’ve had it with that s–t.
The Redhead says
It’s still incredible to me though that W.H. became a crackhead.
The Nittany Turkey says
Why don’t you just call Whitney and tell her to sober up long enough to tell them herself?
The Nittany Turkey says
Who’s left?
The Nittany Turkey says
Whitney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Nittany Turkey says
And I-I-I-I-I-I
The Nittany Turkey says
JUst between us girls, Redhead, I agree with you completely on the Whitney shit. But guess what? We gonna have Mariah as guest mentor sometime soon, so we gotta put up with more-a dat shit, a-ight?
The Nittany Turkey says
At least she’s not doing the whitney version.
The Nittany Turkey says
Oops…I lied.
The Nittany Turkey says
She gets an IS rating.
The Redhead says
I hated it.
The Nittany Turkey says
Fuck you, Paula!
The Redhead says
Well, Simon sort of said it.
The Nittany Turkey says
Syesha’s queen could be en prise.
The Nittany Turkey says
I think Michael is gonna suck. I just got that feeling.
The Redhead says
What’s with the Hugh Hefner look?
The Nittany Turkey says
He might be from the Australian ghetto in Atlanta, but he ain’t no suthun country dude, as it were.
The Redhead says
This isn’t working for him.
Or me.
The Nittany Turkey says
He’s overdoing it.
The Redhead says
He’s rushing to song too much.
The Nittany Turkey says
Another IS rating.
The Redhead says
Make that: He’s rushing the song too much.
The Redhead says
What is “IS?”
The Nittany Turkey says
Simon…please save us! Tell it like it is!
The Redhead says
Paula is not a very articulate woman.
The Nittany Turkey says
IS = It Sucks
The Redhead says
I can’t believe Simon thinks that. I am not in agreement at all.
The Nittany Turkey says
He was much better with the Freddie Mercury shit. I don’t know what Simon was listening to.
The Redhead says
The Kid was the clear winner tonight.
The Nittany Turkey says
Bottom three = Syesha, Ramiele, and Brooke
The Nittany Turkey says
I want to see Carly’s face tattoo sing.
The Nittany Turkey says
SHe could make like a ventriloquist, y’know?
The Nittany Turkey says
Michael reminded me of Taylor Hicks on that one.
The Nittany Turkey says
See you tomorrow, Red…if you come down.
The Redhead says
Is Michael the Rock Guy?
The Nittany Turkey says
Well, I’ll fix your computer so it can print. Maybe.
The Nittany Turkey says
Michael is the Australian Queen guy.
The Redhead says
I’ll be social 🙂
The Redhead says
Are you bringing a guest?
The Nittany Turkey says
In the meanwhile, good night and good luck.
The Nittany Turkey says
No, Jenny is leaving for Chicago in the morning. It’s her dad’s 70th birthday.
The Redhead says
Peace!
The Redhead says
Oh. Well, you can still come over 🙂
The Nittany Turkey says
Back atcha!
The Redhead says
Until the Morrow!
