Fallen Idol / Scott Savol voted out.....

OK... I'm dissapointed today. First, Scott got voted off American Idol. I don't think Scott got the fewest votes by far... I honestly think that was rigged. Anthony just plain sucks! Now, the VFTW crew are saying they'll vote for Anthony... I just can't get behind that. He is by far the worst, but I honestly don't want to see him ever again.... Scott was the perfect candidate for the Vote for the worst... Criminal record, attitude, ugly, confrontational.... he was the total package! I'm going to miss him being up there..... So now I guess I really will be pulling for the best that's still there.... It has to be Carrie or Bo who wins this thing... preferably Bo. Anyway- Next I wasted an hour of my life watching the Fallen Idol show.... I don't buy it. First off.... He stayed out partying all night, then went in and sang in the infamous kissing paula's hand performance.... Afterwards, he was given her phone number and stayed up thinking about it till midnight before he called.... then went to her house until 5am that night? So... he was going on at least 48 hours with no sleep the first time he went over there? I'll bet that made quite an impression.... He just seems like he is pimping his new album... and from what I heard last night, that's gonna suck... and pimping the book he's trying to release. And the biggest part about not believing him... Is there anybody out there who thinks Corey Clark is straight????? That boy (and his friends they interviewed last night) makes Ru Paul look like a straight man. I have faith that Paula has more taste than that. And where was Life on a Stick last night? That show is so stupid it's funny. It sucked not getting my braindead humor fix. Just a dissapointing evening all around on my TV.

Vote for the worst

For anybody that is out there looking for votefortheworst.com The website is currently having a problem. My understanding is that the owner is looking for a new webhost, and hopes to have the site back up ASAP. Sorry that the links aren't working at the moment... Lets hope and pray that enough people voted for Scott anyways. votefortheworst.com has not been shut down, especially not by FOX or anyone affiliated with American Idol. Any and all rumors you are reading are 100% false. There has been a great deal of press about the site lately and the traffic seems to have overloaded the server. Our technical team is currently working on the issue and the site will be back up as soon as possible.

Reality wrapup- American Idol and Amazing Race

OK... Top 5 time, which means everybody gets to sing two songs this week... And what's this... Paula looked almost sober tonight???? WTF? Is she really that worried about tonights airing of Primetime Live's Fallen Idol? Anyway... this was the most subdued I think I have ever seen her... She was just kind of there. On to my reviews and thoughts... With just 5 people left, it breaks down like this for me... You have two amateurs, two superstars and Scott. Scott is the wildcard in all this... he has good enough vocals to beat both Anthony and Vonzell, but his look, attitude and criminal record turn a lot of folks off... But the Vote For The Worst support is helping him overcome all that... Can't wait to see how it all turns out in the end. And tonight's categories.... I've realized how out of touch I am with modern music... I knew all the old songs they sang tonight, but I only barely knew two of the top 40 songs they decided on. On to tonights performances.... Anthony Fedorov Poison Ivy by The Coasters Incomplete by the Backstreet Boys I saw both of these as weak. Anthony really should not be on this stage, he should have never made it to Hollywood in my opinion. His story is great- overcoming the odds after his operation... Getting told he'd never even talk and then making it on to a singing competition... but he sucks.I just don't understand who it is that is keeping him on the show... He's my pick for going home tonight. Scott Savol George Benson’s On Broadway Brian McKnight’s Every Time You Go Away Scott put on good performances tonight... He will stick around this week and I'm not sure he'll even be in the bottom three... (more on that later). On just vocals, I'd say Scott is the best of who is left. I did my part for the Vote For The Worst last night and called his number quite a few times. (And it was busy a lot!) Vonzell Solomon Elvis Treat Me Nice When You Tell Me That You Love Me as sung by … the "American Idol" finalists Baby V... She's a fun, energetic singer... But she's not good enough to be where she is. She'll be in the bottom three for sure tonight. And she slaughtered the Elvis tune to the point that my wife didn't even recognize it... Bo Bice Stand By Me by Ben E. King Heaven by Los Lonely Boys Now for the superstars... Bo was just good. He looked like he belonged exactly where he was. And he chooses songs that fit him exactly. Go Bo! Carrie Underwood Elvis Trouble Rascal Flatts' Bless The Broken Road Carrie is the other superstar... She will be a big country artist after this is over... She also chose her songs well.. I was impressed. The bottom three tonight is tricky... I know Anthony and Vonzell will be there, but i can't say who will join them. Logically, I'd say Scott... But I think with all the publicity that Vote For The Worst has gotten in the last few days, he may not be. I won't even guess between Bo and Carrie who would get the least votes... Either way, I'm sure both of them are safe... Guess we'll have to wait and see who ends up on the short side... Bottom three Anthony Vonzell ??????? Going home Anthony Amazing Race After departing from the pit stop, everyone had to go find the whirling dervishes and get there next clue.... Apparently a whirling dervish is a guy in a white dress who spins around like a child making himself dizzy in some show of devotion to their faith. Anyway, they grabbed their clues and found out they needed to fly to Londaon and visit Abbey Road.... Uchenna and Joyce and Meridith and Gretchen both got tickets for a direct flight on Turkish Air leaving at 8:30am and arriving at 10:30am.... Rob & Amber checked the Internet and found tickets through a connection in Frankford that would arrive earlier, but they'd have to be on standby in Frankford.... They decided to chance it. Somehow, Ron & Kelly found this option too and decided to cahnce it also. So Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly all made it an hour and a half earlier than the rest... Romber got on the train first and it left without Ron & Kelly... They went to Abbey Road and enlisted a local to help them out.... After Abbey Road, they went to a big ferris wheel and had to spot the next clue... Detour - Brains or Brawn Both Romber and Ron & Kelly chose the brains, while the other two teams chose the brawn (go figure)... Brains was riding the tube thru a series of clues to end up on Baker Street getting the next clue from Sherlock Holmes... Brawn was moving 5 boats from the water up a path and stacking them. I figured Meridith was going to have a heart attack doing that, but somehow he made it... Anyways, Romber finished first, and raced to their next clue... which also had a yield... The chose to yeild Ron & Kelly. The Roadblock was driving a double decker bus through a series of cones without hitting any... it proved to be difficult for most of the racers.... In the end, Romber got to the pitstop first, and they won a home entertainment center for their efforts... Ron & Kelly made it second, and Uchenna and Joyce made it third. Meridith and Gretchen came in last and were booted off.... Next week is the 2 hour finale....

Tonight On American Idol.....

Judges critiques... First up... Vonzell Randy - Yo yo yo Baby V! What can I say? it was a'ight for me... you started a little pitchy, but you pulled it off in the end.... Paula - WOW! I have to stand up and try not to fall down and give you a standing ovation.... Simon - I could have seen that in any brothel in Singapore... What is this, American Karaoke Idol? Next up... Anthony- Randy - Dawg! Who'd have thought you'd pull up something like that to try to sing? Are you sure you want to be here? Paula - Woooohooooo... I'm feeling my buzz now... The rainbows that came out of your ears during that performance were trippy! Damn, I feel good! Simon - Atrocious! Horrible! And the bad news is... you really Suck. Next up, Carrie Randy - You were stiff, but the vocals were incredible... If you showed just a bit more cleavage, I'd give this to you right now. Paula - Uhhhhhhh... where am I ? And Why do I just sit here clapping like a seal? The colors! Simon - You are going to win this if I have to hire a million people to repeatedly call your number for the full two hours. Next, Bo Randy - About time somebody comes out and shows the others what it means to be an American Idol. You did yer thing dawg! Paula - Bo... are you sure you quit the drugs after the conviction? I sure could use a bump right about now. Simon - That was great, but you can't beat Carrie... She's so damn cute. And Last but not least, Scott Randy - Dawg... I can't understand why you are still here... Sometimes I wonder about America... Can somebody get Paula to stop licking my ankles? Paula - Simon - The Vote For The Worst people are making a mockery out of me... I just don't get it... Judging your performance, I'd tell you to pack your bags... But I have a feeling you won't even see the bottom three tonight. Ryan - And there you have it folks, your top 5. Please call and vote for your favorite, unless your favorite is Scott... you've had your little fun, but we won't get another season if ya'll are successful with this. Please.... keep me employed! Please! I need this job! And remember... Do not watch ABC's trashy hit peice on us.... It's not true, no matter what they say. Seacrest out!

Your next American Idol will be........

I have changed my mind.... I have been watching the coverage that Vote For The Worst has gotten recently and I think that they are now going to be a major force this year.... so much so that I have decided that Scott Savol will be the next American Idol. Today, almost every news website has an article that mentions Vote the worst.... Fox even went so far as to put out a long statement about how they think it's an insignificant portion of the voters who are trying to keep Scott in... But all the publicity can only work in Vote the worst's favor... Many who never heard of it now know that there is an option to the folks who Simon and company have been pimping since the beginning. My choice for winner would still be Bo, and I still think Carrie is a close second.... BUT- I now think Scott will beat both of them out. And I will be laughing the entire time.

Where's George

Woohooooo.... I got a hit today on a dollar that I entered into Where's George! If you haven't heard of Where's George, you should check it out.... the way it works, you mark a dollar with the website www.wheresgeorge.com and you enter in the serial number to the site... then you go spend the money like you normally would.... Somebody somewhere is bound to get it and wonder what the markings are about... and they go and enter it in to the website.... Then you get an idea of where that money you spent has travelled to. It's pretty cool actually. I bought a stamp that I use to mark my bills with... I know... ya'll probably are sitting out there now thinking I'm some kind of dork... well fine.... But I still think it's pretty cool to see how your bills travel around.

New Nickel

Have you seen the new nickels yet? I got one over the weekend and have kept it in my pocket since then.... every time I pull it out it freaks me out.... It just doesn't look real.

Pictures!

I started a second Blog just for pictures... Visit it HERE... Hopefully I can use it as a place to always have quick access to my pictures rather than watching them get deleted off of here with new updates.... Anyway... Hope everybody had a great weekend... I know I did... went to the zoo and had a great time.
