American Idol March 13-14

There are a great many Indian-Americans. And I firmly believe that does have a lot to do with his continued presence.

I agree, it was “cute” at first,but its starting to annoy, just like many puppies grow into pesky dogs.

Ohmygod I know Sanjaya. Well, I know his mom. (More in a min; at work.)

His mom’s white, if that helps. He also has a sister who auditioned but didn’t make it.

:smack: I meant whoever was on last, #12.

They showed a clip of Haley backstage saying it was her worst performance ever, and it just reminded me of something that has bothered me in the past:

The Real World is on, what, 15+ seasons? On a cable network. With people no one has any familiarity with.

So why not keep filming the idol contestants all week long? It costs you shit, and I garuntee you it gets at least half of the people that watch regular Idol.
Oh yeah, Jordin looks hot with straight hair.

So just how much botox does Diana Ross have injected into her face? She looks like she’s wearing a wax mask. Shouldn’t that much botulism kill a person?

Yeah. I saw his mom in the audience last night, and it bugged me till today, where’ve I seen her before. I did some design work last year for a rich white lady, and Sanjaya’s mom was her cleaning lady! I forget her name, but I did NOT like her. She was flaky, and a pothead, and had . . . boundary issues. Lisa, the rich white lady, and I would be discussing design stuff–I designed some Burning Man costumes for her, and helped her with a livingroom rehab, and we did a $20,000 job on her front AND back yard. And Sanjaya’s mom would come and look over our shoulder and go, “I don’t like that wallpaper,” or whatever. And Lisa was such a pushover, that I would have to make a case and convince S’s M that my design choices were valid. She just inserted herself into the discussion. Of course, it was just for attention; she always ended up “agreeing,” but she didn’t want to be left out of the process. It was enormously frustrating, because I could see that she was just being an attention whore, but I still had to waste my time on her.

Anyway, she brought some demo discs of her daughter, whose name I forget, and man this chick was hot! She musta had a bad day in Hollywood, because she’s ten times the performer Sanjaya is. She’da been a real contender at this point, if she’d made it past the Hollywood round. She reminded me a LOT of Nikka Costa; so much so that I thought she was something of a Nikka Costa clone. But her mom swore she’d never heard of Nikka Costa. So, she was a liar on top of being an annoying attention whore.

Come on…I’m dying to know who’s been voted off!

Not surprised at all.

Brandon

Oh, and like the first week she was working for Lisa? She shoes up with a suitcase. She goes, “I bought this for my husband on my way here. It’s for his birthday, and I don’t have anywhere at home to hide it. Can I leave it here?”

:eek: :dubious: :rolleyes: :confused: :smack: :eek:

Riiiiiiight. I advised Lisa to look inside–you just know there was crack or heroin or babies or something in there–but Lisa (flowerchild type hippy chick, inherited way too much money) said I was being paranoid. Luckily, the suitcase was only there for a few days, but still.

:dubious:

I just realized who Sanjaya reminds me of. Kristy McNichol!

First time I’ve seen your snob bone showing, lissener.

Diana Ross was right, she would have been sent home after that performance tonight.

Sanjaya seems like a nice enough kid, I hope he gets sent home before too much bashing. I don’t know how much battering a 17-year-old can take without being harmed.

Guess even Steph’s forgettability and Haley’s messing up the words don’t matter much, they’re both still heaps more talented than most of the guys. I liked Brandon, and perhaps he should have went a bit later, but at least 4 of the guys are simple cannon fodder.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Wow, Diana sucked. Shouty, off pitch, running around the stage kinda weird… The judges would have torn into her for that performance if she was a contestant.

My wife is watching last night’s episode tonight, and nailed what’s wrong with Phil’s performance (hope it hasn’t been said): While the vocal is quite good, everything else about his performance made it seem like he was singing “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” to a six-year-old.

Seriously, would you please explain this? I have absolutely no idea what you’re referring to. Is it because I mentioned the objective fact that she was somebody’s cleaning lady? I attached no judgment to that. Hell, I was her friggin gardener!

Seriously, please explain.

Oh I almost forgot: guess who I saw on the street yesterday?

Crazy redheaded Bohemian Rhapsody dude! He seemed to notice my doubletake, and his face went hard, so he didn’t seem approachable, but it was definitely him. Seattle is the AI hotspot this year, apparently. Well, at least for me.

Who? Constantine did BoRap, but he was neither crazy nor redheaded. Do you mean one of the bad auditions?

And FTR, I understood what you meant. Sanjaya’s mom was not your client; Lisa was. You and Sanjaya’s mom both had your own job to do, but she was interfering with your ability to do yours. Perfectly reasonable for you to have been irritated.
