That dumbass title truism is wishful thinking for the producers of American Idol this season, as to this Mouse, it is all over but the shouting. If Adam Lambert doesn’t win it all, then I’ve had my head straight up my ass for the past few months.
What’s there to talk about here anymore? We can rate or berate performances by the other six pretenders: Allison, Lil, Matt, Danny, Kris, and Anoop. They’ll slowly be eliminated until Adam faces off with either Allison or Danny in the final on May 20. The mediocrity of the wannabes will be clearly apparent and our attention will be easily diverted. Either Lil or Anoop will be eliminated this week. ????? ?????? ??? ???? The other will be eliminated next week. The “Judges’ Save” is still available. They’re going to have to use it one of these weeks to keep the show on track. ???? ???? I don’t think it will be used to save Anoop, but it might save Lil. Ah, what the hell. Who cares! In terms of my favorite trite, ridiculous, Popeyesque, vogue utterence, it is what it is.
I missed a week, so I’m a little out of it. That’s not a bad way to be with respect to this show. I mean, what are we doing this week? The contestants tackle the song stylings of Barney Frank? Almost, but not quite.
I’m told that their guest mentor this week is Quentin Tarantino. Yeah, that’s right, the gory movie guy. So, the singers will be doing the soundtrack from Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2? Cool!
Any way you slice it, this season of the foregone conclusion is steadily losing this Mouse’s interest. ???? ??????

It’s just a one hour show tonight, Sir Mouse. I agree–it’s Anoop or Lil tonight. I predict Anoop.
I think the judges will use their “save” one week when Adam is voted off due to some stupid voting on the public’s part.
See you at 8:00!
We’ve got six weeks left and six contestants to eliminate. How will it work if the judges execute their “save” option?
If the show is to finish on schedule, they will have to eliminate two competitors in one succeeding week. Perhaps they can have a three-way final?
The other alternative is extending the show’s run to May 27th, but will that be possible? From Fox’s perspective it will be, no doubt, because it will bring more revenue. However, how about changing the Kodak Theater reservation from May 20 to May 27? Will that even be possible, and what kind of cancellation fees would there be? I don’t think it is an issue. If this is part of the plan, chances are that it had been prearranged long ago.
There is no doubt a contingency plan for whichever way the “judges’ save” thing goes. We just ain’t privy to it.

The Redhead is actually here at the start of the show!
What’s with the “no passing” stripe on Randy’s shirt?
Geez, Paula is all sparkles this evening.
It says Lykes Smoked Ham.
Having Tarentino on may be a stroke of genius. I must say, he and Adam are a good match. The director will probably bring out even more weirdness in Adam.
Who’s that? Phil Spector?
Hello, Sir Mouse!
Jenny and I are great Kill Bill fans.
I know you’re a Kill Bill fan. I’m not.
He’s been on the show before? The guy is bizarro.
Too gory for me.
I said Jenny and I, not you and I.
AI is a good show for him. He’s just so bizarre.
Yeah, that was he making impertinent comments to cute little Diana DeGarmo in Season Three.
I hate Aerosmith. Can’t stand them.
Completely outside the box. The weirdest are the most creative.
Stephen Tyler is my role model.
Allison sounds the same no matter what she’s singing. She’s boring, a dime a dozen.
Shaky start for Little Red.
I don’t know if the “weirdest” are the most creative but I would say the most “original” are and he sure is that.
Oh really–what role are you going for?
I want to hear her sing “The Sound of Music” like Pat Benatar would. lolllllllllllllll
This song sucked, always has and always will.
Boooo.
I don’t know why they’re standing. She sucked.
Nono, Climb Every Mountain.
Paula is, as always, full of shit.
What a bunch of bulls–t.
Climb Every Mountain would be good as Bonnie Tyler.
Well, Simon is right but that’s not exactly high praise since Lil is such a weak performer.
Yes!!! Bonnie Tyler:
My love is like a powder keg…Total eclicpse of the heart…
Some of the cheesiest lyrics ever written.
They’re going to have to play up Allison and Danny, because otherwise the fan base will grow disinterested, with Adam being the obvious winner. Simon’s trying to stir up some sort of apparent competition where there is actually none.
It’s like watching a fucking college all-star team play the fucking Pittsburgh Steelers, ferchrissakes!
Some think Adam will make a boring AI once he wins.
Who cares what happens with Adam once he wins?
Well, this choice of song has just killed Anoop. It’s a terrible song and it sounds like he’s going to engage in an Epic Fail.
He’ll go back to dinner theater. IGAF!
It would be nice to think some of these kids will have a career. See Clarkson and Underwood. Clarkson is getting some pretty good reviews for her new album.
Anook, start packing, buddy.
He sucks. He needs to go back to his calculator.
Reviews? Who cares?
What does IGAF mean?
Are people booing?
Anoop-Dog!
Anoop looks surprised that they’re giving him good reviews.
Are they kidding? It was awful.
Kara: looking HOT tonight, baby!
Of course, she always does.
Well, not hearing anything from Simon is a bummer. So they went long last week and people are pissed because they missed Adam’s performance. Does that mean the only judge who is truly entertaining should have to keep quiet for some performances. B.S.
This is a pedestrian performance. He has to have one every so often.
Well, this isn’t as weird as I had hoped it would be.
Kara is truly entertaining for me.
Yeah, he’s set the bar pretty high for himself.
He does have some pipes on him though.
Well, he’s safe and it ain’t bad karaoke, but I didn’t need to hear it.
Wow, Paula is going nuts.
He’s “dancin’ in the path of greatness,” baby!
“Dare to dance in the palace of greatness.”
“Fortune rewards the brave.”

Simon is right on–he’s with us on this one, Sir Mouse!
Right on, Simon!
It’s the damn originality we watch this guy for, so it was pedestrian IMHO.
What’s with Ryan tonight? Dude, leave the accents at home.
I mean, it was kind of out-of-the-box Steppenwolf.
You are so right, Sir Mouse.
Maybe someone will step up to the plate and hit a homer.
Or not.
The high notes were out of the box and he picked up the tempo. Other than that,
fail.
Danny, Lil, Matt, Kris…come on. Someone? Anyone? Can you hear me out there? SOMEONE?????
Hit a “homer?”
I didn’t know The Simpsons were watching!
🙂
Adam left an opening. A good boxer will get his or her punches in. Mediocre boxers will pass it up and wind up getting knocked out. This is Don Dunphy reporting from ringside.
Gotta love the Chi Chi Rodriguez hat.
In the clearing stands the boxer
and a fighter by his trade
and his carrys the reminder
of every glove that cut him down…
I am leaving, I am leaving
but the fighter still remans
la la la.
Damn…he didn’t wear it.
“he carries the reminder”
You’re speling is attroshus.
I think we can sleep through this one.
Yeah, it’s pretty bad when I start typing too fast. I have to go back and edit.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
THAT SUCKED!!!
This stunk up the joint.
Yo, Matt. So listen. For me, Matt.. When you hit the bridge, man…but the thing for me for you…
Despite the yellow traffic line, Randy is looking pretty sharp tonight.
Simon is yawning.
Bye bye Matt
I think you’re going to cry.
I can’t see Randy. I’m too busy drooling over Kara.
Goodbye oh Matt goodbye.
Not Paula?
Hey hey, Paula
I want to marry you.
You know I’ll always love Paula. I have a certain fondness for retards.
So, she’ll always be
Forever Your Girl?
🙂
And then, there were three. C’mon Lil, Danny, and Kris. SOMEONE???? ANYONE??????????????
I’m trying to think of her other songs?
Did she sing her own stuff?
I never listened to her crap.
Welcome back my friends
to the show that never ends
we’re so glad you could attend
come inside
come inside.
I worked in radio. I couldn’t help but hear it all.
Danny might make Mr. Blackwell’s list.
Bring out Diana Ross, otherwise he’s done.
Did you really work in radio?
Okay, right out of the box, this sux.
OK…this is gonna suck big time also…..shit!!!! JESUS!!!! HOW BAD IS THIS????? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
He started out bad, but now he’s doing Lionel Ritchie. And it sux.
He’s doing Barney Frank Sings The Great Hits of Lionel Ritchie.
Man, this is bad. He is going home without question.
His masochism????
What a bunch of b.s., Paula.
Simon knows this stunk.
Simon?
“Brilliant singer?”
Sorry, who was Simon listening to?
He’s better than this. He sucked tonight.
Lil???????
Kris????????
Anybody in da house?????
Randy is having simulated intercourse with Simon while Ryan does Randy.
I loved this movie.
Yeah, yeah, know you hated it.
He’s safe this week.
I don’t know which movie this is from. I never listen to the damn music.
Oh, yeah…that Irish one.
I remember it. It was the one high point in a dreadfully boring movie that moved too damn slow.
Never quite caught on for me, either.
It was one of the better performances tonight, Randy.
He had a sexy thang going. I agree with Kara.
I want Kara to tell me that in exactly the same way.
Math Guy and I liked the movie A LOT.
It was more of a “chick flick,” Sir Mouse.
Yeah, I’ll buy that.
Although I know men who loved it.
Math Guy!
My Guy!
Not that I don’t like the sappy ones every so often.
I enjoyed “Elegy.”
Of course, Penelope Cruz kept me interested.
Oh, hell. The ROse.
Thought you would like it. I recommend the Philip Roth novel which is a bit more bitter than the film.
What is a “tinder reed”
Wow, off key and flat all at the same time.
Okay, I changed my mind. Lil is going home this week. This is the worst peformance I’ve seen her give. She is so off-key. Wow.
Why does she think that being flat in parts is cool? I mean, otherwise, I like the Arethalistic rendition. But she’s so damn off-key.
Simon is going to destroy her.
“PITCHY” TO DA MAX!!!!
Paula is once again totally full of feces.
Simon rolls his eyes.
Paula heard how much it sucked.
No, no, no. She is going home.
Wow–you tell Simon, biaaaatccchhhhh.
She is not helping herself by going off on Simon.
That’s right, Lil. How about saying it in English next time.
Lil or Matt. Probably Lil.
Bye bye Lil.
You gave me the chill.
Go take the pill.
Cause you are gonna
feel ill.
I wanna hear Adam sing White Rabbit!
Yes, it’s going to be Lil.
Yeah, Adam does the song stylings of Gracie Slick.
Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson????
Miley Cyrus?
ICCCCKKKKKKKKKK……
Until tomorrow night, Madame Red…I bid you goodnight.
Yeah, bring Gracey on for a little tutoring!!
Go ask Alice
I’ll think she’ll knowwwwwww….
Goodnight, Sir Mouse.
See you tomorrow night,
in the house!
Just remember what the dormouse said.
