I am moving my blog, which is currently under Contstuction

Well is that not a slap in the face and a kick in the pants. I knew something was up, by Simon's behaviour. He looked pissed off and disenchanted and quite annoyed. Simon was at a distance and was not happy, so most of us who were Doolittle fans knew something was wrong! With Melinda Doolittle out of the competition, Jordin Sparks should be handed the win.



This article is written by: Arne

Melinda was the best talent this year, and the best talent out of a year that really wasn't that great of a season.

Sorry, Blake Lewis is not that talented, he often sings off-key. My prediction will be that Melinda will sell more albums then the final two.

I could say unbelievable, I could be in denial, I could say that America screwed up this time, but I will stay away from that.I could say that American Idol is over for me and that I will not watch the show again. No, what I am going to do is throw all of my support behind Jordin, just because if Melinda is out, then Jordin should win. She was second best in my opinon. I predict that Blake will have miminal success!

Congradulations Jordin, you just won Idol title!

I have not written in the last two weeks. To recap what has taken place for the last two weeks. After American Idol's spectacular event of raising money for those less fortunate. Idol raised close to 70 million dollars. Ryan Seacrest made no mention of what was the final count this week! Some of us would like to know.



This article is written and owned by: Arne

During the event, American Idol did not eliminate any of the contenders. The votes from the Idol gives back evening would be included in the next week’s elimination.

American Idol had rock theme night were Icon great Jon Bon Jovi mentored the six finalists. Honestly, I thought they all did very well, however I was not! Impressed with Blake's performance, as much as the others. At this stage of the game, the beatboxing has to go! Bon Jovi did a tremendous Job with competitors, better then any other rock group in previous years. His experience and wise expertise really highlighted why Bon Jovi has always been such a success. Bon Jovi is very wise if you listen to him and he seems to be able to tune himself to the competitor’s vocals and give them great guidance on how to enhance their performance and vocals.

We also saw an appearance from President George Bush (I have my thoughts on that; however, I will leave it at that)! The president offered to sing; the first lady with great wisdom encouraged him not to, and advised we had already seen the President dance. If you remember that President was in Africa, and while the first lady showed she had rhythm and could carry herself on the dance floor, the president was confused at the African Style dancing. Nevertheless, let us give the president points for at least trying! I for one am grateful he did not break into a song on American Idol. Can you imagine the president crooning out "Country road" or shaking his thing to "hips don't lie"! Thank-you first lady for putting a stop to it before it began!

Once we passed over this light-hearted moment with the President and the first lady thanking Americans for their generosity, and relived the nightmare of Lakisha smooching with Simon, we get to see who was going home. (Simon seems to try to obtain a smooch yearly)! It really is revolting if you ask me, seeing Simon pucker up and move in for a kiss!

Ryan, who seemed to be remorseful or caving under fan pressure, let Jordin off the hook right away. He told her that he would not mess with her this week. I guess the boo's and jeers got to Ryan.

The two finalists that went home were Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson. I have to say I was surprised at Phil going home; he did much better then Blake over the weeks.

This past week we had the honour of having vintage icon Barry Gibb mentor the final four. Barry mentored the finalists in the same fashion as his predecessors, he gave expert advice, was a real jewel and came across as not only being a star of many decades he was a nice person!

Simon was not in a good mood, he seemed to enjoy grand slamming the performances I am surprised that Judge Judy did not give Simon the smack down that she is famous for. I for one would have liked to see Judge Judy realm out Simon. (Oh but wait this was done to Simon in England by a lady named Edna Moore) Click on the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yixDe8PZDj8 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEShBUAsPio -- watch Simon being reduced by his elder! It is hilarious! Edna was an 86-year-old Granny. Her comments at the end were so hilarious I thought I would die from laughter.




This week, again, I did not feel that Blake did well, in my opinion Latisha should have stayed and Blake should have been bid adieu! However, it is a numbers game and Lakisha was on the short end of the stick this week!

The final three are now the focus, Melinda, Jordin and Blake will be fighting for the final two spot this week. I am going to make another bold prediction. I think Blake will get his walking papers this week, his beat boxing is getting old, and it really does not fit into every song that he does. While it is nice to try to make a song your own, it would be nice to see Blake do more then he has shown us. The Final two will be Melinda and Jordin!

The final three will perform three songs on Tuesday.

American Idol Gives Back: Everyone is a star tonight in more ways then one!


Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'( Martin Luther King Jr)"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single minute before starting to improve the world ( Anne Frank) We wildly underestimate the power of the tiniest personal touch of kindness. (Author unknown)



This article is written and owned by: Arne

What a wonderful thing that is taking place here. That a top show on television is HELPING! Those children that are less fortunate, those children that are living in depravation, those children that are living in horrid conditions, those children that are starving, those children that are living in the worst impoverished conditions, those children and people that have nothing and nobody to help them! Those people that have no hope until someone comes along to help, those that need a helping hand and kind acts to survive the cruelty that is part of their daily living regiment. It was spoken by Ghandi “To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”

What a spiritual awakening for not just those companies like American Idol that are extending their hands to help the desolate, but also those of us who are giving for this great cause and to better and improve the life of others, the life of strangers. Simple voting can change the lives of many people. Have you not had a better opportunity and point in your life that you had the chance to achieve such mighty greatness? What a spiritual blessing to be able to help another that are living in the depths of despair, at the very bottom of the abyss and the harshness of the realities of life for some. This is one of the brighter moments in American Idol history! This is one of the brighter moments for Ford, Coca Cola and AT and T. Everybody is a star, not just a star of fame of the musical arts, but also joyful and celebrated stars. This can very well be a life-changing event for those Americans who are starving and those in Africa who are starving. The poverty rates among children all over the world are staggering in numbers! Around 50,000 people die every day in Third World countries most of whom are children!

It is written among the stars that when one can help just one person, by making a difference in how they live, that that person’s life here on earth is substantiated in the heavens! Those that are helping have also changed haven’t they. Notice Simon this year, I really believe his journey to Africa and into the impoverished communities is a life-changing event for him and indeed has changed his outlook on life itself! Simon honestly did not realize how some people lived in America and how impoverished some global communities are such as in Africa.
Homeless in Canada



It takes all of us to help in any way we can! Do you know and realize that if everyone around the world gave just $1.00 and that money went directly to these great social, community, and global causes that it can change the lives of many. I am optimistic for the future of these children. This is the first great big step into worldwide recognition of what needs to be done for others!


POVERTY IN LA, California

This is not a time to put down others this is a time to rejoice in what is taking place here.
There is much work to be done in order to change the course of the lives of children and people. To extend your hand in kindness and giving can make an enormous difference in the life, fate of people and children’s destiny! Inevitable death is brought among those on the extreme poverty lines.

Melinda, Lakisha, Jordin, Blake, Phil and Chris have taking part in this event. Last night’s show was phenomenal, the songs selected from the competitors were right from their hearts and soul. In my opinion they were all stars last night. Last night the competitors were thinking of someone else and not just getting by another week or winning the competition. That is what makes American Idol gives back a very special life-changing event. It was written by Einstein” Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.”

American Idol, (specifically)Simon, and Ryan Coca Cola, AT& T, and Ford should be congratulated for the step they have taken to improve another’s life. It will always take more then one person and one group to help another. From the point of passing on the truth and revelation of how others must live in fact gives others the opportunity to extend their kindness, their humanness, and their sense of direction in giving. One does not have to know people on an intimate level in order to help them, you just have to want to help them in anyway you can. Every big or little bit helps to spark a chain reaction to a better tomorrow for the lives of others! To say that I am impressed would be an understatement. Very well done American Idol!

The pictures I selected was an effort to dispel the fact that homelessness in America is just reserved for minorties. NO! The truth is and the reality is that Homelessness and Poverty is in the United States, In Canada and in many other countries including Paris! Starvation and hunger hits every cultural every group and sub-group. These photos serve as a looking glass to the truth of poverty in America, In Africa, In Canada, ect.... They are graphic for a purpose to show the harsh reality of poverty, infliction, starvation and eventual death hit everyone not just old, the young as well! Become the voice of those that cannot speak for themselves!

All of the Idol competitors did very well last night, because they thought not of themselves but of trying to help make a diffrence in the songs they choose. Unfortunatly someone has to go. I disagree with Randy and Paula that Lakisha shouted out the song, there was no shouting at all. We must remember that none of these competitors sing the same.

Who I think should be going home: Blake
Who will be going home after America votes: Chris

Performances were a bit better then last week. At the very least the opening with Phil Stacey was very well done. Jordin Sparks just sparkled and shone tonight. Melinda Doolittle performed and dazzled like a star and a winner. Melinda, Jordin and Phil take top honours for Country Theme Night. Martina McBride did a very good job in coaching the competitors with her knowledge and expertise and made Phil Stacey a potential contender tonight. That is of course if he keeps it up! His performance tonight may have only been a brief shiny moment for him!



This article is written and owned by: Arne

I was pleasantly surprised that Phil Stacey managed to get out a tune and a performance that had me thinking, hhhmmmmmmmmmm, not bad, not to bad at all; as a matter of fact Phil was that damm good tonight! When Phil opened and delivered a winner, I started to get excited. When Jordin came out and sang I was getting ecstatic! I thought finally, finally we have a competition! (Poof, boom, ouch)! Then just as my excitement increased it was shot down because (sigh) the boy wonder came out and ruined the whole affair! I have been trying with all my might to stay away from the Sanjaya topic; however his vocal tonight was not just horrible as Simon suggested. It was much worse then horrible, it was a pernicious disaster with all the trimmings of triumphant floundering and as entertaining as watching the grass grow in a wind box! He is so boring in his vocals that one falls asleep half way through the introduction of his name!


Phil came out and delivered tonight, no crack in his voice he came, he sang and he won the battle. Jordin Sparks delivered an excellent vocal with Broken Wing, one of my favourite songs. Then Melinda Doolittle came and as usual banged it out of the ballpark for us. Lakisha, Chris and Blake take second spot, they did not do as well but not enough to send them packing(although I didn’t think Lakisha did as bad as the judges thought, it wasn’t the best, it wasn’t the worst either!). Bottom spot is reserved for Sanjaya. I think that the boy wonder has met the end and that tomorrow night will be his demise!

Moving along, I have to second Simon’s motion. Ryan Seacrest SHUT-UP. There is nothing more irritating then someone cutting another off. I hate to intrude on Ryan’s large ego, but we don’t always want to hear your 1.5 cents worth. I think that Simon was correct in his judgement tonight of Sanjaya. It was horrible and it was not fun to watch or hear!

As much as it behooves me to say this! The Judges were more on par tonight then they have been, all season. Bravo well done.

The stupidest, dumb, dumber and dumbest honours are all rewarded to Ryan Seacrest tonight. Simply because he irritates that hell out of me when he interrupts a person when they are speaking! The show is not all about you Ryan!

Best Vocals of the Night: Melinda and Jordin (tie)
Runner up vocals of the Night: Phil
Worst Vocals of the night- Sanjaya
Who I think should be saying adios: Sanjaya
Who will go home after America votes: Sanjaya

American Idol - Gay Soldier comes out of closet, but did Clay Aiken? In Clay’s defense!



A year ago I wrote this Article on American Reality TV, now the liar Paulis has retracted his statement. Turns out I was right he was lying! Just proves my point on my first article today about the dishonesty of some Professional Media out there! " Don't believe everything that you are hearing America", looked what just happened with this retraction! Was it a mistake that this guy who accused Clay Aiken of having an affair with him, was mistaken? or was it was what I suspected this guy wanted to get some quick cash! ( The new victimization in America). To think they get paid a ton of money to take cheap shots and lie to us about people. Not to mention the character assination and defamation of character of Clay and that they take out on people. I took a lot of crap and belittlement over this article and my other articles that provoked the thought of American Idol and Clay Aiken fans. I would also like to thank the American Idol and Clay Aiken fans who supported the articles and gave their own truthful comments. Thank-you and we were all right in our conviction that this guy was lying. The Clay Nation Prevailed!!! I have noticed that the Professional Media is not screaming in the headlines of Clay's vindication, I wonder why that is? They were all front and center last year with the Gay allegations. Interesting isn;'t it!
Again, it just proves my point on Professional Media dishonesty! Now the Professional Media is trying to sugar coat the allegations and say it was a HOAX, no it was an outrageous LIE! A hoax is a good natured joke where nobody gets hurt, a lie and allegations, hurts all kinds of people!

American Idol - Gay Soldier comes out of closet, but did Clay Aiken? In Clay’s defense!



Written by: Arne

I don’t know about anybody else, but who believes this Paullus guy? I know I don’t believe Paullus when he says that Clay Aiken picked him up and had a one night tryst with him! I don’t believe it for one second! Me thinks the ex green beret soldier wants to make some green money. I think that Clay Aiken is part of the new Victimization going on in America! It’s called, go to the tabloids, lie about your relationship with a star and then sift through all the book deals, movie deals, talk shows that you can! Enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame. Get a lawyer! Then name your price!

Diana Ross may not know this.

I have a live album of Diana Ross that is from the 70’s. I think it was called “ An evening with Diana Ross” from 1977.

I can remember her giving a speech and what an impact it had on the black youth at that time.




Article is written and owned by: Arne

Diana Ross said:

For those that would do half when all is called for, for them that would slip and slide through life at the edge of their nines never once pushing into interior to find out what wonders were hiding there. Being content with whatever gets them by. Cheating themselves, Cheating the World and Cheating nature. Diana Ross went on to say. I was at a nice point in my life and I realized that how wonderful it was to be young and black, but to be gifted! And to know what I wanted to do. It was doubly important. I realized there were a lot of artists that went before me, trusting themselves. “ Trusting”!


I forget what else she said, but I also know that it had a very large impact on many North American African youth, considering it was the 70’s at that time. It helped black youth with pride and encouragement.

Paris you’re only doing half at this time babygirl. Step it up little sister! You don’t need to phone TMZ and talk stupid. Uh huh, I am pointing at you as I am typing this. You know what I am saying.

I will leave you with this Oprah clip: that features legendary singers Be Be Winens, Shirley Caesar, Dionne Warwick, Yolanda Adams, Chaka Khan, Gladys’s Knight Valerie Simpson and Miss Patti Labelle! ( My favourite).

Then listen to the younger singers that are stars specifically Alisha Keys.

Paris, I was a youth in the 70; s and today’s black youth, have no Idea what it took to get us where we are now. Don’t let TMZ use you! We had to fight and those generations before us had to really fight! For our people. You better believe we fought! Not only in America but all over the world, including Canada.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC4qVQA4Qrg

It was artists like these and artists like Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Marin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, James, Brown, actors like Sidney Portier, Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five and many many other Black Artists and Groups that brought black youth through some rough times and had us think through their music. Now that is were young artists today need to be going with their music today, no matter if your black , white, red, purple, yellow. This is the reason why Taylor Hicks was so popular and he won. People are looking to see a revival of Good Music; we heard all the cursing and swearing we need to hear through both Gansta Rap, and Rock music (metallic, acid rock, ECT). Taylor Hicks gave us good music, that we could relate to, that we could enjoy.

I also would say Miss Diana Ross, did an excellent job with the competitors on American Idol. She did not try to put them down, she did really try to help them and encourage them. Well done Miss Ross. Just one word on behalf of Miss Ross. There were a few articles there putting down her appearance and performance on American Idol. This legend happens to be in her sixties, could those that are putting her down, say they could do better? Could they even say they could have as much staying power in the business as she has? Miss Ross did just fine, for a women of her status and age, thank-you very much Miss Ross!

No Surprises: Haley Scarnato gets the boot.

American idol 6 is coming down to numbers. This is where it will get hard. This is where the competitors better bring it! From here on in and here is the reason why. Every week that a competitor goes, means that those competitors fans will allocate their votes elsewhere. However, they can turn out to be the most critical fans, since their favourite is no longer in the competition. Their votes can also make the difference of who goes and who stays. My advice to the competitors is they better bring it, because if they don’t and they bomb, it can mean they get the Royal Heave Ho and a one way ticket home!

Jennifer Lopez performed on Idol tonight, as usual Jennifer did not disappoint her well established and well earned large fan base. Jennifer Lopez is a Golden Globe Award-nominated American actress, Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, dancer, and fashion designer. Some of the fans that idol interviewed in LA, said that they thought Jennifer was kind and smart. The competitors felt she was trying to really help them. Not only is Jennifer all the above, she is also beautiful inside and out!

Next week is country week with Martina McBride in the house!

The reasons the American Idol ratings are down one word BORING! Were spoiled!

There are reports that American Idol ratings are going down each week. Some blame Howard Stern and his quest to sabotage the show, by trying to get his following to vote for the worst singers. Some blame Sanjaya who is terribly boring and a below average talent. While other blame the judges for giving talentless competitors the pass through to Hollywood. Others argue that the voting system is the culprit. I personally disagree with any of the above.



This article is written and owned by Arne:

First, I don’t feel Howard Stern has that much weight, that he could completely sabotage a show that is hailed by millions and millions of viewers. While Stern may have a following of 600,000 people or more, that is but only a small minority of people in contrast to over 33 million viewers that American Idol usually enjoys. Even with American Idols voting system of being able to vote as much as you like and power dialers have NEVER! In the history of American Idol been able to oust the best talent.

America has always chosen the best from original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Burrino, Carey Underwood and last season’s idol winner Taylor Hicks. Considering all the competition vs. these winners the right Idols were voted for and won in my opinion. (Mind you some would disagree between Studdard and Clay Aiken). Sanjaya is just a distraction for the moment. Are the judges to blame? No, I don’t think so, they have to contend with who auditions and pick the best of the lot for Hollywood. From Hollywood the rest is up to us! Are the American Idol voters to blame? No I don’t think so. I think that most of the American Idol fans are serious and take who they want to see win American Idol seriously. American Idol in retrospect gives the power and choice to the people and may even be more popular then some political races.

Having said that, the question remains to why American Idol ratings are going down each week. My response to this is that WE ARE SPOILED! From the beginning of American Idol viewers were treated each year to better shows. Last years show really SPOILED US. For the exception of a few of the final twelve each of last years competitors were very talented! At the beginning many of us agreed that it was going to be hard to choose, we virtually would have liked to see more then one win. Last years show was unlike any past American Idol show. It was full of genuine enjoyable pleasant talent. The competitors brought their pipes, delivered huge songs to the audience and for the most part they blew us away week in and week out.

This year American Idol only has a few talents that are up to last year’s talents standards. The truth is that in comparison to last year, this years’s final twelve cannot sing to the capacity or the degree that last year’s talent did. They are boring in the deliverance of their songs, and many of us all find our minds wondering and becoming bored with the show. When we become bored, we will either do two things, turn to another channel and go back to AI when the few talents that we enjoy sing, or we switch off the show completely. Also when folks become bored, they figure they can afford to miss the show as they have better things to do or watch.

Simply last years American Idol competition raised the bar as it had never been raised before, our expectations of the competitors have increased and in my opinion that is why the ratings have went down each week.

Were giving way to much attention to poor performances:




This article is written and owned by Arne:

As much as I hate to say this, I am going to for the first time in my life, follow Simon's lead. Yes that is right Simon's lead. On Tuesday, Simon made a comment that he was going to try a different tactic when it came to Sanjaya performance, he simply said, “Incredible". Of course Sanjay failed to see Simon's cynicism in his comment.

I to am going to try a different tactic. I don't see the point in writing about or showcasing performances that are mediocre or just not much of anything. I figure the bloggers are giving way to much attention to piss poor performances like Sanjaya's. So instead I will be showcasing the best performances with a review.

I think that we are all giving Sanjaya way to much attention and keeping him in the limelight. While were doing that we seem to be ignoring the best performances. (or at the very least who we think is the best performances.)

The best performances on Tuesday April 3/07 were delivered by:

Melinda Doolittle, Jordan Sparks, Lakisha Jones, Gina Glocksen and for the first time in my opinion Chris Richardson.


The dumbest award goes to Paula: She was all over the place in her comments, ah ah ah" I am so freaking proud of you”. Yeah ok Paula that means alot to the audience.

The dumber award goes to Simon: “you have great legs"

The dumb award goes to Randy: “You’re an entertainer"

The STUPID AWARD goes to Paula, “Phil Stacey DOES NOT SOUND ANYTHING LIKE THE LATE GREAT FRANK SINATRA AT ALL! PAULA PULLS THIS SHIT EVERY YEAR, AGAIN! THERE ARE SOME ARTISTS THAT CAN'T BE OUTDONE FRANK SINATRA IS ONE OF THEM. IN THE PAST IDOL SHOWS PAULA HAS HAD THE NERVE TO SAY THAT A CONTESTANT SOUNDS LIKE AND/OR GIVES A BETTER PERFORMANCE THEN THE ORIGIANL ARTISTS! THE GREATS SUCH AS BARBARA STREISAND, ARETHA FRANKLIN, MICHAEL JACKSON, STEVIE WONDER AND NOW SHE FURTHERS IT BY TRYING TO SAY THAT PHIL WHO GAVE A "LOUSEY OFF KEY PERFORMANCE" SOUNDS LIKE A YOUNG SINATRA. NOPE! NEEDLESS TO SAY AS USUAL THIS WAS NOT A STELLAR OPINION OF PAULA'S. WHO IS NEXT PAULA? TONY BENNETT OR PERHAPS QUNCEY JONES! THAT COMMENT WAS JUST STUPID!
