After Thoughts

*Kris Allen is my American Idol, funny faces and all. The 'King' of funny AI faces was Clay Aiken and Kris doesn't come close. His face has never bothered me. Now, Adams tongue when he screeches is another story all together. I really liked Kris' 1st and 2nd songs. Too bad he was criticized for song choice #2. This has happened 2x now where he's had no control over a song he had to sing and both were not "Big enough". Remember the scene in Princess Bride where Buttercup is imaging being greeted by the people and that old lady emerges and loudly says over and over "Boo! Boo!"? Well that's me.

*The song Kara co-wrote and will be released as a single was dismal at best. It was choppy, tuneless and hokey. Too bad both contestants had to be judged singing it. My heart actually went out to Adam. I was surprised myself. I would like to hear Kara, who can sing very well, belt it out and see if she can do it any better. I think the producers had to be apologizing over and over to Kris and Adam when they handed the music over, "Sorry. It's the best we got."

*I really don't see Adam having lasting value in the long run, say like Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger. He is still a Bret Michaels in my mind and will be making an infomercial in about 15 yrs. touting "The Best of American Idol: Adam Style" for us all to purchase for the low, low price of 9.99.

*If I had a dime for EVERY TIME we have heard Kara and Paula, especially Kara, say the word 'artist' we would all be quite wealthy peoples and headed to Disneyland tomorrow. Man o' man. For that one reason alone she should hit the trail. Her main crusade this season was to inform the entire world we needed to 'find an artist'.

*I'm really looking forward to tonight's finale. I love the entire night of 'artists' presented to us for a musical feast. We have to shove a ball game and practice in just before it starts, so I'll be sweating it out until my rump is seated safely on the couch where my indentation is already firmly implanted.

*Directly after AI last night the new show Glee was on. LOVED IT! It was funny and the music was awesome. I can listen anytime, anywhere for hours to Journey and be a happy girl. 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' ranks in my Top 10 Favs ever. Haven't listened to it lately? Get on it and experience it for yourself. Anywho- Glee is like High School Musical for adults. Fox is kicking back side with their round up of shows. It doesn't look like that rump print will be going anywhere in the near future. I'm starting to think my couch is made up of memory foam.
