What I watched on Tv last night

No. Are you calling me a liar? Didn't I tell you I was officially done with it? So why second guess me. I am done. But its hard to go around functioning in life without hearing about it. Ryan Seacrest tweets about it non stop. By the way, he had chicken for dinner before the live show.

Although I am not watching it, I can still put my two cents into it. I just have one question and its my question I have had for a long time ever since it was announced. Why is Ellen Degeneres a judge on American Idol? No, seriously why? I'm a little bit peeved because allegedly, I say allegedly because I'm not watching and my proof of reference is from a tweet (funny how tweets are reliable sources nowadays). Ellen said that a contestant could not sing and they should be on Glee.

There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where I should begin. First, don't knock the only good show that FOX has going for them now Ellen, because the clock is ticking on Idol. Second, do you watch Glee? I LOVE GLEE but that's beside the point. No it is my point. Glee is a hundred times better than American Idol and its a scripted show. A real television show. I am over "real people" trying to win the heart of America. I rather just have Rachel Berry annoy the heck out of me and root for her because she's the underdog and you root for the underdog. I want go back to connecting with characters again instead of connecting with people who are trying to be characters. (Another post in the making).

Back to Ellen, isn't your main job a television host where you interview people. I think it would be awkward for a cast member of Glee to be on your show now, don't you? Oh yeah, you told someone they couldn't sing, and that they should be on our show.... awkward.

Glee is awesome, Idol sucks and Ellen should stick to her tv show. I can't have too many people on too many shows. I should only see you once during the week, on one show. Are you listening Seacrest?

Don't think the cast of Glee can sing? Check out this video from the World Series where they sang live!  Not every winner or blurb on our radar (contestant) on American Idol can say that. Can they?

American Idol: Hollywood Week, Last Week. The End.

So like I promised, I was  not going to watch American Idol anymore. I lied, but not completely. I saw the first 20 minutes of it, got bored and then quit indefinitely. I can't  put my finger on what made me turn it off but I decided enough was enough.

It wasn't Ellen, although I still have no idea why she is on there. Yes, I like her show. Yes, I think she's funny. No, I don't think she has anything to do with music except be a fan of music. I'm a fan of music, I should be a judge! However, I do see the connection that she is a performer and she gave great advice for that, but I just wasn't digging it.

The only part that I really liked was Andrew Garcia. What ruined it was Kara "a-ha" moment realising what he was singing. Like you have a job in music industry, right? You worked with that woman, right? You should know this, RIGHT? Then I turned it off. No, I turned it off right after the girl from Tennessee who never been on an "aeroplane" killed her audition. Poor girl :(.

Then I was done. I think it could of been a lot of factors that led me to this decision to break up with Idol. I think the icing on the cake was hearing the possibility of Howard Stern replacing Simon. Now I just think Simon Fuller doesn't care anymore.

It's been nice knowing Idol. I am sure something new will come along soon and then I will get bored with it as well.

Check out Kara's "a-ha" reaction. Just focus on that alone. Does it annoy you too?

TV last night

I usually get out of work at 6:30pm and have a ridiculous commute home because it's towards the end of rush hour in the bay area. However yesterday I left about 15 minutes late because it was a rough session. As I am about to pull off on to a storm of unnecessary traffic I realize, that this is the Dallas audition of American Idol and Joe Jonas is the guest judge. Panic ensues and I beg to get home in time while I am moving 5 mph and the Prius in front of me lets everyone and their mother cut them off.

However I made it right at the stroke of 8pm and rushed into the kitchen, turned on the television and who do I see..... Doogie Houser! WHAT! Don't get me wrong I love me some Neil Patrick Harris but this is not what I wanted. This is not what I rushed home to see. I will give him credit he was a great guest judge from the little that I actually paid attention to but still, where is my Joe Jonas! It seems like 45 minutes later, he shows up. And it was very short and boring. Heart is crushed, ego is deflated and now I am just left being a pathetic 20 something year old who rushed home from work to watch 15 minutes of a Jonas Brother, It's a harsh reality.

I mean they show HOURS of American Idol on Fox like every year and you're going to tell me that you are going show like 15 minutes of a part that I actually wanted to see! I mean where are the crazy people? Was Dallas not crazy enough for you? No disrespect to Dallas, but there are crazy people everywhere. It's just a fact.

This episode marked my last time that I will watch American Idol until the finale. However, I think I may watch Hollywood week because I want to see how Ellen mixes in but most likely not. Its a sad realization but one I must live with.

I wasn't the only one who thought last night was a bit off. Sorry Joe, I still think it wasn't your fault. http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/01/28/joe-jonas-american-idol-guest-judge/

 

The Agenda

You know what tonight is, American Idol: the Dallas audition with Joe Jonas as special guest judge.

 

You know I'm happy. Next on the agenda... my take on the Jersey Shore. I know the ship has sailed, I should have just let it passed :-/

Pants on the ground!

So American Idol is back! I usually have a tendency to get bored with it but I do love the auditions. But this year its different. Paula's gone, Simon is signing off after this season and honestly I don't know how long the shelf life will be after he's gone. But honestly I don't care about all that stuff. I care about Joe Jonas being a guest judge on the Dallas auditions (more on my Jonas obsession later).  That's all I care about and I'm not ashamed to say it.

I did not watch Tuesdays nights auditions in its entirety but last night I did. And you know what won my heart....



PULL YOUR PANTS UP! Fo' realzzz

Best part of the show last night is that Simon asked what the name of the song was. If this guy hasn't done it already he needs to copy right it. So far, so good. We will see if I will watch it after the Joe Jonas episode, likelihood is that I will. Come on it's on like everyday for the next 4 months or so!

Did you see Idol last night? What was your favorite part? What are you looking forward to this year?
