Last night’s American Idol yielded few surprises. We knew that Adam Lambert would bring down the house. He did. We knew that Megan Joy would suck. She did. We knew that of the seven others in the remaining contestant pool, some would be mediocre good, some would be mediocre sucky, and some would be mediocre middlin’. ??????? ??? ????? They were.
Nevertheless, this Mouse wants to keep Megan around just for eye candy. I believe I’ve said that before. I’ll keep repeating the none too subliminal message in the hope that America will vote for her face and her ass, rather than her pipes. ??? ????? ?????
We’ll just quickly categorize the others here.
Mediocre good: Kris Allen, who sang “Ain’t No Sunshine.” It was original, not just another Bill Withers karaoke performance.
Mediocre sucky: Anoop Desai (“Usher”). Simon Cowell called it a “complete and utter mess.” Matt Giraud (“You Found Me”) and Lil Rounds (“I Surrender”) — the song choice sucked in both cases, and the renditions were not up to par for these two moderately talented individuals. Lil came out wearing her hair in the Japanese-Bahamian pageboy style of the 1960s and 1970s. For that egregious throwback, the Mouse will punish her severely.
Mediocre middlin’: Everybody else. Special shout-out to Allison Iraheta (“Don’t Speak”) who made a stupid song choice. But we like her rock voice and hope she sticks around to do some heavy Pat Benatar, Kim Carnes, Heart kinda stuff. Danny Gokey (“What Hurts the Most”) was not up to his usual par. ???? ?????? ??????? Scott MacIntyre (“Just the Way You Are”) raised the level of his past few weeks’ performances.
Bottom three prediction: Anoop, Megan, and Lil.
At whichever point Megan leaves, American Idol will become a gross waste of time for this Mouse. Absent something to look at, the only real surprise will be which songs Adam Lambert chooses on his way to this year’s relatively uncontested coronation.

If you think about it, Sir Mouse, the producers could pull a fast one and NOT crown Adam. Think of the outcry, the publicity, etc.
Nah.
Well, it happened in the past with Jennifer Hudson and with Chris Daughtry. However, this year, we now have “The Judges’ Save” for those who are ripped off by a misguided public vote. I think what separates Adam from even those two previously mentioned very talented individuals is his versatility. His appeal is potentially much broader than either. He’s polished, mature, and professional. Accordingly, I don’t think that even the idiot voters will get this one wrong.
Mouse here.
I’m thrilled about Lady GaGa.
Paula …. shaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddup!!!
The Redhead is in the house.
I closed the bookstore a little early. What are they gonna do? Fire me?
(:
🙂
Three points:
Paula is botoxed to the max.
This group sing sux.
Who is Lady Gaga?
(I’ve always hated Journey.)
Well, Randy probably influenced the selection of Journey. He always looked like a dork playing that guitar. Lady Gaga and David Cook will perform tonight. And Paula is botoxed inside and out.
Good thing the hockey score is 5-1. Otherwise I couldn’t tolerate this.
I have never heard of Lady Gaga. What a terrible name.
Her real name is Italian and nine miles long.
Oh, well, that explains it.
This is silly. Save it for the slumber party, kids.
I know Sir Mouse is diggin’ on Megan in that red dress.
Oh, they’re shakin’ things up.
Ooooooo, cruuuueeeel
I don’t dig on things…that would mean I regressed to 1975. 😀
.
Early Ebonics.
Okay….you’re droolin’ over Megan’s dress.
I think diggin’ sounds better.
She’s a fine looking lady.
Yes, she’s very pretty but that tatoo would be a deal breaker for me.
This is the wrong “Come Back to Me”…not as per the lyrics in my Facebook status.
This guy hasn’t had a very big career after winning last year.
Well, speaking as a lesbian, I kind of like that tattoo.
???
David Archuleta hadn’t had a large career, either.
Oh, is that what you were quoting in your fb status?
I took the Are You a Lesbian quiz on Facebook and it told me I was.
No, he hasn’t. What about Chris Daugherty?
Well, I could have told you that 🙂
Dude…dog….got it goin with your Gibson Les Paul and all…so yo…yo Cook…you da bomb!
Only two winners have really had big careers, right? Kelly Clarkson and Something Underwood?
I guess that shoots the idea about him not having much of a career.
So, who bought this album? Other than a bunch of kiddie fan club girls.
Carrie Underwood.
Anyone under 50 is a kiddie fan club girl.
You gotta see Math Guy’s Prius. It’s sweet.
I’ll see his Priapus when I’m next there.
Whe I was a teenager I joined the Alice Cooper fan club. It was a big rip off.
“When.”
I predict you will give it a “thumbs up.”
Yeah, he was a dork.
I’m certain I’ll give it a “thumbs up.” It would be rude to do otherwise. This was a big deal for Bob.
A dork? I don’t think so. He had a great band and put on a pretty good show.
Yes, it was. But I predict your “thumbs up” will be genuine as in liking the car.
Are we going to hear Lady GaGa or what? Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is her real name. I looked it up.
I know it’s genuine in liking Bob.
I like that squirmy thing Megan did.
Wow–that is a mouthful. Still, Lady Gaga???
Aw, Matt is safe.
I didn’t see what Megan did.
Tell ‘im, Meg!!!
Oooooo, Megan has an attitude.
No foolin’, Megan. You’re in the bottom three.
She’s now a crow…
What kind of weird cawing thing was she doing?
I think Megan is a country girl.
That’s some white pantsuit on Lil.
Allison: safe…not safe…safe…not safe…………….(outfit sucked)……………………
Bottom Three!!! That outfit had something to do with it.
Adam is safe.
Duh.
So did her crappy song.
So, Anoop or Scott…call it….do it…tell me.
Anoop is working up his attitude thing.
Danny is safe.
For now. Maybe one or two weeks before he gets the boot.
Anook?
Scott?
I predict Scott will be safe.
Yeah, we called it.
Anoop, with a ‘P’
Bye bye, Megan.
Just a country girl. Time to go home now, honey. Thar’s pies to make and babies to burp.
I know. I just like spelling Anook’s name this way 🙂
Thar’s blueberry, rhubarb, strawberry, pecan, apple, peanut butter…lots and lots of pies…
She’s probably a Mormon, too. That ought to give you further impetus to kick her ass out the door.
The piano looks like a stripper’s prop.
Of course, the Lady looks like a techno-stripper.
Ahhh, now she’s doing the strip
Man, this is more like Lady Gag-gag.
Yikes, she’s downright scary.
Helluva dance, ol’ zipper eye.
Megan is mesmerized
She’s better off goin’ home, or that could be in her future some day.
Megan thinks she’s the eliminee, so she’s clowning around and acting like a dick. However, what happens if she sticks around? She’ll have alienated all the judges and half the audience.
Megan is playing it for laughs now. She knows her goose is in in the oven cooking.
Well, that future has worked well for The Gaga. Maybe it would work well for The Joy.
Yeah, she was obviously angry at Kara last night. This evening she has insulted Simon and acted like a jerk.
Way to be classy, Megan.
Goodnight, babe.
Good for Simon. She’s acted like a jerk. Most unprofessional.
Show Simon what you think of him, Meg baby!
Man, her looks have gotten her this far. She’s a terrible singer.
Really tacky behavior.
WGARA … I’m sad to see the sassy minx leave. I like that edge.
She’s got a real future.
I hear a diner in her hometown needs help.
Maybe she can do her crow imitation on the Summer Tour.
Don’t be catty.
Oh please….she’s such a victim.
I’m allergic to cats so I could never be catty.
Oh please….LOL
You’re jealous, then.
Good luck, Megan.
Sir Mouse, it’s been a trip. I’m off to watch the Damages season finale. Remember, tomorrow night, so long to ER!
OK…next Tuesday and Wednesday I probably won’t be around. Camping and Passover get in the way.
Oh, okay! I’ll do the play-by-play.
P.S. I have no reason to be jealous.
Have a good one!
