Truth Is Pagan Media that Bites

At Long Last The Boy Wonder Sanjaya Malakar has departed. As I predicted!!



Sanjaya was the one to meet his demise and a shot at Idol Title. I think that America did justice tonight. According to American Idol host Ryan Seacrest there were over 38 million votes last night. Sanjaya was the one that America said No to and rightfully so. While Sanjaya might be a nice kid and maybe in the hearts of young pre-teen girls he is awesome and stunning. He was not an Idol Title contender. Not to mention that each week the competition gets more difficult and each competitor has to bring it or risk being sent home.

American Idol fans are quite serious about their American Idols, because we choose who reigns supreme in vocal, who is the crème de la crème and is crowned American Idol. I think with over 38 million votes American Idol fans had enough, and took control of who was in and who was out. Very well done America.



Sanjaya Malakar may have a better shot at comedy or acting as opposed to being a potential singer. He seems to like to dress in gimmicks, likes to be different and shows that he likes to be unique. There is an artist in him! I just don’t think singing is ever going to get him stardom. However, I think acting and comedy is the ticket to his success and future stardom. Seriously, this kid vocals and singing talent is limited, but if one reviews his time at American Idol, ACTING is what will gain Sanjaya a more gracious and recognized spot in American hearts. I think Sanjaya can and well make it as an actor! Specifically an actor in comedy! Move over Jim Carrey, you may have some competition in young Sanjaya Malakar! I did feel a little sorry for Sanjaya when he was crying, he is just a kid! I know we did not enjoy his singing prose, but a kid is just a kid!

The Aftermath of American Idol browbeating so far this year. Professional Media at its finest.

This Article is witten and owned by: Arne

Lately the professional media has taking many swings at American Idol and other important issues such as Rutgers. One has to sit back and think, is this really what is going on in the world? Or is this just the opinion of one person or a group of persons who seems to be disgruntled with life itself? First we have the unnecessary Antonella Barba photos, then we have the vote for the worst hoopla, then we have other professionals taking past idols comments on their show, and putting their own spin on it. In the meantime the same show’s announcer is gleefully telling anyone that listens “ I am voting for the worst” and if they close down the show, so be it, America has spoken. I love the words America has spoken! Let’s talk about Professional Media for a moment. In the history of Professional Media, I think America should be enlightened to fact that we are “ spoon-fed” what they want us to think about, what they want us to talk about, and virtually are doing the thinking for us! It doesn’t matter to professional media if what they are conveying to us is the truth and/or if they are leaving out relevant facts of what they are relating to us! No, all that matters is that they get the readers to believe and comment on the crap that they spew! That they become so popular that their word is like the bible. (Its all about professional medias own popularity, own ratings and money

What is baffling about all this is that more then one professional media person seems to be on a quest to try to motivate people to close down a show like American Idol that is watched and enjoyed by over 33 million people. Now why is that? What is the purpose of closing down one of the cleanest shows on television? If we really want to get into the nitty gritty of television today, all we see is sex, violence, aggression and smut! How many movies can we watch in today’s world as a family and not worry about some steamy love scene, that we don’t want our children to see or that we the adults don’t want to see! I don’t need to see somebody getting it on, to tell you the truth! How many music videos out there are very sexual and in some cases violent. I think it is time for America Professional Media to do a complete overhaul on their make-up. One they need to stop putting spins on things that are not factual, real, and true and convey the honest truth to us. Two some of the unflattering photographs that are out there needs to be ignored! A good example of this is what they did to Britney Spears! I am not a Britney Spears fan, but what they did to her by taking a photo of her private parts, should be a call for America to be outraged. I blame the professionals for these freelance photos. The freelance photos are only taken, because the Media buys them for big bucks! They had no right to do what they did to her at all! In my opinion and in many Americans opinion. They had no right to do what they did to Antonella Barba either!

What is the agenda of Professional Media like Howard Stern and The Tony E Fly show? Perhaps their one motivation is not shock, is not trying to prove a point. I think it may be good old fashioned JEALOUSEY THAT WE ARE WITNESSING HERE! Perhaps Howard Stern is motivated because last year, when he announced that listeners would have to start paying for his show, he was met with a lot of ridicule and laughter from everyday people. Sure he has over 600,000 viewers, but in reality that is not a lot is it! in the terms of his shows success. So instead he wages war against a show he has always ridiculed and made fun of and a show that increases their viewers each year! Then we have the TMZ syndrome looming over us. Each year, TMZ seems to have some hosts (some not all) that have ingested too many stupid pills! I don’t think Tony-E-Fly has achieved that much other then taking a young person’s comment, putting their own spin on it and then having their readers make unflattering comments on that past idol contestant.

Give me the everyday blogs any day of the week. At least they are just plain giving their opinion, not putting spins on it and not leaving out relevant facts about news/gossip item. Bloggers are not professional and we have typos and spelling errors, and our sites don’t come with bows and roses (mainly because we are not paying to have the blog) but at least we tell the truth in our articles, unlike professional media.

In ending, don’t be blind America to what some of the professional media out there is trying to achieve, take a stand and if you like to watch American Idol keep voting for who you like! The competitor that you think you would buy their CD! Don’t allow these professionals to fool you! In my opinion, they have a hidden and separate agenda to why they are trying to rally people into closing down American Idol and they haven’t been completely honest with America in my opinion! Yes, let the everyday citizens of America speak! I think the professional media needs to watch out, because if you start going to far and pissing off American citizens, it may be the demise of your own show and not a show like American Idol! If Tony E Fly and Howard Stern want to vote for the worst on a personal level that is their business, however when they use their professional positions that is dishonest in my opinion!

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.

In Anonella Barba's Defence- American Idol 3-19-07



This Article is written and owned by: Arne

Antonella Barba in my opinion was a very talented contender. I really do not feel that she should have been voted off and I for one enjoyed her singing! These so called risqué photo's should not serve to stand in the way of Antonella's dreams or goals of being a singer.

Is Antonella really to blame for them? Let's take the spotlight away from Antonella for a brief moment. Her ex boyfriend, who is a vile less then nothing, deserves to shine in his moment of glory. Those photos’s were personal and had no place in this competition at all!

Antonella is a young girl who made a mistake, so what! Can anyone truthfully say, that they don't have a few skeletons in their closet that they are not proud of?

What a lowlife! Antonella's ex pig friend takes something that was very personal and private and flashed them all over the net! The only exposure I see is that wee willie wonka doesn't have much self esteem and just because he is the dredge of society and likes to go slumming, does not mean that everyone else needs to go with him!

I do hope that Antonella goes on and pursues her singing career, SHE CAN MAKE IT. I mean really, how many singers have made it on sexuality, many! Madonna comes to mind! She made millions on this so called smut! Why was everyone so shocked? We are exposed to sexuality and nudity everyday on televison, in video's. Why is Antonella the example for moral outrage?

My advice to the ladies is AVOID this EX PIG of a boyfriend at all costs. I won't say his name, he is not deserving of that much attention! He deserves nothing more then the profoundest contempt from women all over the world. You know ladies, we women should stick together! It seems to me that men have been exploiting us for many centuries.

It is not the end for Antonella, it is the beginning. Look at this way Antonella, they can't say or do anything worse to you then this pig has. So shine and sing on baby!

Likeability factor and Some Serious Strong Competition:
American Idol 2-21-2006


This Article is written and owned by Arne:

Ladies night proved to be a serious strong competition. I was very impressed with most of the girls tonight and their level of singing talent. However, there were two outliers that were not up to par or speed with the performances that the ladies brought! The judges were better at their feedback, however from the middle to the end, they seemed to struggle with conveying their points of view. The song choices were different and refreshing! We heard renditions of the greats and Icons, Stevie Wonder and Gladys’s Knights, Icon Barbara Streisand. Icon Jennifer Holiday, Heart, Musical Genius Christina Aguilera ,Natalie Merchant, Martina McBride, Josh Groban., Diana Ross, Faith Hill, and Alita Adams.

The show opens and Ryan comes swaggering out! Ryan looks perky, his attire is still drab, I absolutely, without question hated his checker shirt! Perhaps Ryan fans should start up a website called Dress Ryan.com Like the site DressKevin.com that made the news. In this way fans could choose what Ryan would wear when he was hosting. Ryan Thanks!!! Idol viewers for watching the show. ( Glad to see you taking my comments seriously Ryan!!!) Ryan’s open line is, “The judges job is over and now you are in control. Tonight we begin to build the Top 12. Ladies first!

It’s a new level of the competition It’s performance time!!! Twenty-four will become the top twelve and six places are for the girls and here they are!! Ryan introduces the twelve girls performing tonight. The guys (Randy’s Dawg pound) are watching from below and they will perform for you tomorrow. Each week two girls and two guys will be headed home until we reach the top twelve. Ryan then announces and of course the judges are here! He intro’s dumb, dumber and dumbest. We get to see some spirited verbal jousting with the Judges ( I guess they were suppose to be setting the tone!!!! Of the show.) Ryan then asks Simon, How he reacts to the criticism. Simon being the elusive he man he wants us to believe him to be, responds “I haven’t had any”.

Ryan looks at him a little fazed and prods “you haven’t been harsh?”. Simon replies, I was defending you! So there we have it, Simon is in denial! It’s not surprising if you ask me. Simon knows he has been criticized for his razor sharp tongue, he was booed tonight and will continue to be booed. Yet, it eludes dumbest that he has been criticized. Ryan moves on and relates to us that Paula is tougher, I would have to agree with that, she was not as lenient as she has been in the past, but she shows signs of reverting back to her old form. Ryan then asks Randy Jackson who he thinks will be American Idol. I really felt that this was an unfair question to ask at the beginning of semi-finals to Randy( for putting him on the spot) and for the competitors. Of course dumber ( Randy) responded that he thought a guy would win it. Yes, Yes we always have to start the season with trying to balance out gender. A girl won it last year, so a guy absolutely has to win this year! Really why bother to have females in the competition if you want a guy to win!

First up was Mandisa, who Ryan said did the impossible she made Simon apologize on television. Ryan adds we love her! All twelve ladies did flashbacks and a narrative on how they got there! Mandisa relates to us she will be singing, a classic by Heart called Never. Mandisa related that she picked this song, because she wanted to prove sisters’ can rock to. Mandisa was very good and she brought it. Randy said,” wow, what a way to start the show. Good song choice, that was hot, she overdid it, good personality, it was good! Paula said: “Phenomenal! Taking on heart is tough, but she did it. Magnificent! What a way to start the show.” After exchanging pleasantries, Simon says, “ He agreed with Randy, it wasn’t a perfect vocal, however, Mandisa threw the goblet and she has an unbelievable personality; we will see her all the way through to the finals of the show! ( I still believe it’s a tad bit to early to predict that!”)

Second up was Kelly Pickler, who sang, How far by Martina McBride, Randy says it was a good performance, but not the best from her. He saw some nerves and there were rough spots. He didn’t think it would be as good as it was, but it was good. Paula says, “ that she has the likeability factor, she sang her heart out and she needed to carry a song through! Simon says he agrees with Paula, she has the likeability factor and she was sincere, she was a nice girl, looked great and a potentially good voice. Simon thought she did well!.

Third up was Rebecca O’Donohue, who sang Because the Night by Natalie Merchant. Randy commented that he thought that she was having a good time and he loved the performance. She was a little off here and there , but the vocal was better than he thought it would be. Paula thought that she’s a charm and that Becky commanded the stage? However and being realistic there were some notes that were off! ( Simon looked stunned and surprised that Paula was coming into her own and being HONEST! With what she was hearing for a change) he said oomph! Paula exclaims with conviction Becky was nervous! Paula advised Becky, don’t over perform and don’t over sing! Paula as much as I am happy to see you being honest with what your hearing, I think you erred there, Becky was not up to par, her pitch, range was all over the place, it was not good at all! In my opinion! Simon said, that it was slightly better then he expected. He said to her that visually she is a ten, however her voice is a six and a half and that the last note was so off! He said that being that it was AI5, that quite good was not good enough in the competition, you have to be great, and that was the reality of it all!!

Aayla Brown, who Ryan felt like a pipsqueak when he was standing with her! Aayla sung for us, Reflection by musical genius, Christine Aguularia. Aayla in my opinion gave a very good performance. Randy asked, are you glad that’s over? Randy extended to Aayla, “I didn’t expect it to be that good and he was pleasantly surprised. Paula agreed with Randy, and added that it was an ambitious undertaking, she was also pleasantly surprised. ( This is were Paula starts to weaken and starts to parrot Randy)! Simon theorizes, that Aayla was probably a hard worker! ( huh, and what did this have to do with her performance) and that we saw tonight the limit were her voice could go, however it was the first time for Simon that he saw some “emotion” and it was more real. It was one of her better performances! ( Like Simon is a expert on emotions)!

Moving on and next up is Paris Bennett, who is the little girl with the big singing voice. Paris sang for us,
The great icon Gladys’s Knight, Midnight Train to Georgia! In which I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative of her song choice. Paris rocked the house, she not only brought she can really blow and flowed with the rhythm and energy of the song! Randy said, This is a hot one America! Randy extended that Paris surprised him and he was amazed and blown away! Paula approved and added that Paris was her Idol! She was Paula’s energizer bunny( ha,ha,ha,ha,ha, this is were Paul really starts sliding in the comments). Paula asserted that Paris was a firecracker and a showman/women! Simon agreed with the guys, she did what she had to do well, she was confident, she had the likeability factor and it wasn’t about being good it was about being great! It was a performance that everyone would remember!

Next up was Stevie Scott who sang for us, Josh Groben’s, To Where You Are .Stevie did okey, it wasn’t her best it also wasn’t the worst performance of the night in my opinion!!! Randy said, Wow, mostly falsetto. Randy then said, honestly he found himself daydreaming, it was non-emotional and he didn’t get it! ( I just want to know one thing, when Randy doesn’t get it, what exactly is it that he doesn’t get?) Paula disagrees, and thought that Stevie did exactly the right thing with the song. Simon belted out, he could not disagree with Paula more! He said it was like being at some horrible Sunday lunch and having a child sing out of tune! ( I think Simon struggled with coming up with his normal witty quotes). Simon then bombed Stevie and said, it was a complete utter mess. Stevie responded, that she knows she can bring it. Simon unmoved responded, not tonight, it was left at home! Paula chipped in, that it is America that chooses, Simon shot back, American won’t be happy with this. ! Really, I didn’t think it was all that bad compared to a couple of others Simon! Hey, I agree with Paula on this!!

Next up was Brenna Gethers, who sang for us, the Icon great, Stevie Wonder’s , You are the sunshine of my life! Brenna did not bring any sunshine to this song and frankly she bombed with it! I personally do not think that Brenna is anything more then an average singer, who only got in, because Simon liked her( they have duel personalities, which appeals to Simon). Brenna also extended to us/we/me( those of us who writes articles) that “Some people have LABELLED her a drama queen in Hollywood week! And she was going to show us tonight that she had a softer side! First the Drama Queen Label was all Brenna’s doing, with her antics, which I note she continued on with tonight’s performance and thwarted her attempt at the softer side! She gave a par performance tonight in my opinion! Moving along, Randy said, All attitude from New York, and that she was probably choosing a safe song! Simply it wasn’t enough for him! Brenna ran off her mouth, that she will be who she is, no matter who doesn’t like it! LOL, yea you keep being who you are, and see how long you last in the competition! Like the Bitternum’s, you will start grating on people’s nerves and they will forget to vote for you! Especially in the wake, that you didn’t give a good performance! Paula extended, that humility and humble pie is what is needed.! ( now I do think that Brenna was halfway listening to what Paula said, then Simon came along with his encouragement! Simon said, I don’t think you have to eat humble pie for anyone, however that was horrible! Brenna and Simon went at it and one is as worse as the other. I personally think that Simon gave Brenna bad advise, because Brenna’s attitude is overbearing and what she really needs to know is that there is a DIFFRENCE in being confident and having a ridiculous bling, bling attitude! I don’t think America will like it or put up with it for to much longer. If Brenna expects to stay in this competition and have people vote for her, then she must sing better if not outstanding and lose her attitude. Right now, the likeability factor is not in Brenna’s repertoire!!!

Next up was Heather Cox, who sang for us Diana’s Ross’s, When You Tell My That You Love Me. Randy who was not impressed, composed himself and asserted, wow, you had laryngitis, I would of thought that you would of picked a song that would of slayed us. It was pitchy, her keys were low and it did not work!
Paula agreed with Randy, and said it started real rough, it wasn’t a great
performance. Simon gave his famous Gettysburg address and extended that it was “ forgettable, it was horrible, she got it wrong, she played it safe, her personality evaporated. Nobody will remember the performance and that she needed an excuse and he would of said no! Ryan chimed in and retorted to Simon that he would of wore a T-shirt under that sweater that Simon was wearing, but everyone makes mistakes!!!! Ha ha ha, lol I have to give Ryan “PROPS” for that one, I enjoyed his backdoor slap on Simon immensely!!! I personally felt Heather’s performance was a trifle bland and unpolished in it’s deliverance. Randy was right I thought it was just me but the keys were low, however, I don’t think she did as terrible job as two others in the performances!

Melissa McGhee performs next and sung for us, When the Lights go Down, by Faith Hill. Randy said, Yeah!! it started rocky, some pitch problems, an amazing performance., but it showed she has a great voice. Paula disagreed with Randy , it was a shining moment for her. She has a sexy sultry voice, and that was the magic of great performances. It was amazing to Paula. Simon says she’s been overshadowed, and that no one would remember her song better then some of the other girls. Then dumbest says, Melissa’s eyes were lifeless!! I don’t think the dumb award will be a hard decision tonight!! I actually agree with Paula and Randy it was a very good performance!!!

Next up was Lisa Tucker, who sang the Icon great Jennifer Holliday’s, I am changing. Lisa banged it out for us, it wasn’t just good, it was excellent, I was surprised that such a tiny girl had such a similar Jennifer Holliday voice!! “ Randy asserts that it was the biggest ambitious song of the night! It was a little rough but she worked it out at the end, Randy gave her props!!! Paula says she is a precious She has a gift and from start to finish she is a star.. Simon says it’s going her way tonight. She made girls five to six years older than her look ordinary. We may be looking back infive or ten years time and this is the night we remember Lisa Tucker going all the way!!!

Eleventh up was Kinnik Sky. Who sang for us Alita Adams, Get Here. Randy shares that the middle was really rough, but she brought it home in the end. He gave her performance a six. He didn’t get it again dawg!! Paula disagreed with him. She looks stunning, had some sharp notes, so what, her performance was powerful. Simon coined, Sharp or not that he saw a problem!!! That there were one or two stunning performances earlier from very young girls, and that her performance was overshadowed by those younger girls.I don’t think that Kinnik’s performance was the best of the night but it was better then Simon related to us!!

Last but not least it was Finally, Katharine McPhee. Who sang for us the great Icon Barbara Streisand’s , Since I fell for you. Randy says wow, another hot one. He always loved her, from the very beginning he was a fan of hers! She is a natural talent, and she had it going on! Amazing!! Paula says she loves her job, it is greatest show on earth. Paula extends her assertion and adds, it taps into the human spirit, great performance, she owned the stage. she’ is going all the way. Simon says there were four very good vocalists tonight and she was the best. First, Katherine was great toniight but not the best in my opinion.

The show ends Ryan thanks us and the band, reminds us to vote for the right person.The competition with the ladies was for the most part strong, and I believe that most of the guys also will have strong performances for us.

Best performances of the night. 1. Paris Bennett, 2. Lisa Tucker, 3. Aayla Brown,
Worst performances of the night. 1. Brenna Gethers, 2. Rebecca O’Donahue. Heather Cox.
Which two girls will going home: Brenna Gethers and Rebecca O’Donahue.

The Dumbest award goes again to Simon Cowell- For his lifeless eye comment
The Dumber award goes to Randy Jackson- because he didn’t get it.
The Dumb award goes to Paula Abdul-for parroting

The Heat is on! Hollywood Auditions Recap:American Idol: 02-08-2006:
Article is written and owned by: Arne


After more boring auditions then I cared to write about, we finally get to Hollywood. For the exception of a few familiar names we get to see who the judges have given a chance to and yes we got to see hollering, whooping, yahooing, Dave. The first and second day of Hollywood gave us joy, happiness, upset, tears, and anger with the competitors. We saw Paula becoming more of a hard liner for a change, although she attached herself to yet another male that she is a fan of again!, this year! I am sure before the season is over we will see Paula weeping and drooling over yet another young man, telling him she loves them ! The best chuckle the home viewers could get is seeing Simon’s reaction to what he considered bad talent. He looked puzzled, pissed, disgruntled, annoyed, confused ,ready to throw something and even relieved as he heard some of the auditions. We heard all the excuses in the world to why some of the competitors did lousy when they sang, much to my amusement.

The show opens and we see all of the contestants making their way to Hollywood, Ryan’s narrating was dramatic on how the competitors got to Hollywood. There were contestants that were nervous and contestants that were very self assured that they were going to make it to the end. Ryan introduced the ever so elegant Debra Byrd and someone new for the Pianist in Michael Orland. We glimpsed the background singers who were going to back up the competitors. Ryan dramatically advised us to imagine travelling all the way to Hollywood, sing one song and then go home! I thought when Ryan said this that Simon may have been so fed up that he gave everyone the bum’s rush and sent everyone home!

First up was Kelly Pickler, who wanted us all to be put on notice that she was the next American Idol, because she deserved it! Um Kelly my dear, I think your going to have a bit of a problem with that assertion since there will be eleven other finalists that will all think the same thing, that they deserve to be the next American Idol. I am also a little disturbed about Kelly’s song and dance about her poor life! The thing that Kelly needs to understand is wake up and smell the coffee; there is an awful lot of folks that had hard lives and they come through is shining. Kelly has already been compared to Carrie Underwood. The big difference I see between Carrie and Kelly is that Carrie was HUMBLE! And Kelly is not! I am hoping that Kelly will get by the poor me and feel sorry for me attitude and get to singing, because Kelly can sing! She could be the next American Idol, if she would stop feeling sorry for herself! The judges comments is that the timing of her song was all over the place and Simon was concerned( chuckle) if Kelly would be able to cope with the competition at hand. Nevertheless Kelly and the front row got through to the next round.

The next person that American Idol thought was worth mentioning was Patrick Hall. Patrick also has a nice voice, and when he sang tonight it was very soothing to listen to his song. Simon as usual, said that Patrick would have to work on his looks, and that he didn’t feel like he was looking at a star. Simon felt that Patrick had the Clay Aiken factor in him and he was likable. Every year we have to cope and contend with Simon’s hang ups on looks, the fact is Patrick can sing and that is what American Idol is about! Singing! Period! I don’t care what anyone looks like, if I am going to buy anyone’s record, its about singing, how their voice and their song appeals to me. If its all on looks then Mick Jagger was probably fortunate that Simon wasn’t around when he made it, because the world knows Mick wasn’t the most handsome man on earth! The fact is Mick’s music is what made him famous not his looks!

Next up we have the Twins Derrell and Terrell Brittenum who spend most of their time giving us their valuable opinions on American Idol, the Judges and the contestants. Now I understand that freedom of speech is very essential in American Life, however I would think that Derell and Terrell would be more concerned with the next round and making it to the final twelve! Derell was up first, he wasn’t bad, but he wasn’t outstanding this particular night! Simon let him know that he wasn’t impressed at all and told Derrell that he could say that he wasn’t looking at a winner for one minute. Talk about your heartbreak. Derrell thanked Simon and the Judges, but inside he was seething at the humiliation that Simon slapped on him!

Twin brother Terrell was up next who faired better with the judges comments then his brother did. Paula said that she liked Terrell’s audition better then his brother, because Terrell showed a range( pause) of colors? A range of colors? Now what exactly does this mean to the viewers? Beats me, I would be interested in hearing Paula’s explanation of this! I realize the Judges are trying to give better feedback then they have, however, I would like to see them use words that their audience can appreciate in that feedback! At the end of the Terrell’s and Derell’s auditions, they were put through to the next round along with others. Anyone put through rejoiced but Derell was not happy with the Judges comments and he said as much over and over again! The twins also let us know that the choice of songs that the competitors were given were limited and not up to their standards! They sounded off that some of the songs that were sung,that anyone could make it through, including Bo Bice, Constantine and last year’s idol winner Carrie Underwood. Carrie did sell 2.2 million copies of her album when it was released. I said Carrie could blow.

The next set of twins Joshua and Jarrett Simons did not make it to the next round. However, I must say these twins were very mature, eloquent and distinguished about being told no. They said that they were just turning seventeen and they were not going to stop! We will see these boys in the future, they are talented, they have a good sound attitude about what they want and where their going in life! Of course we couldn’t of moved on unscathed by the ongoing comments from the Brittenum twins. Derrell and Terrell thought that the Simmons twins were to talented and shouldn’t of been let go. As a matter of fact they said that they were going to talk to someone about hooking them up. Now here’s the problem I have with the twins if they have connections to the music industry, why go on American Idol at all, ? hell get to it and make your first record deal.

Moving along we saw the good singers who could all blow who made it to round two and the bad singers who gave us every excuse in the book to why they were off key in their singing. We heard that they were not feeling well, they had laryngitis, they were a little hoarse, stuffed up with colds/flu’s, it was the piano backup Simon quipped after hearing the many excuses, “Michael wrecked another dream!“ Simon summarized the excuses as “ It was the amp, the piano, the tonsils and the glands” that got in the way to delivering a good competitive song!

There were times that we viewed Simon looking like he was going to vomit if he heard one more bad singer. He looked frustrated and even enraged with very little talent in the auditions.

Last but not least we got to see “The Dave” Hoover, he addressed the other competitors by people of the universe and Lords of something! He whooped, he hollered, he screeched, but he didn’t sing for us again! Paula and Randy looked amazed and Simon had a smug “I knew it” look on his face. Paula and Randy should have been embarrassed for putting Dave through to Hollywood. At the end Dave to my relief didn’t make it through. While Dave was entertaining,I would not of wanted to put up with him for all of the season! However, Dave is star material in another way, he is weird and this universe and its talent producer’s like weird!

In ending we saw clips form past shows, were the judges were given a dose of their own verbal medicine( Simon) In Season one, one competitor stood up for himself, and Simon ended up calling him a loser! Season two, tempers boiled, there was in house fighting with some of the competitors. In season three the competition and being American Idol took second place for some of the competitors. In season four the groups fell apart. We also got a glimpse for next week of a fight between Simon and I think the Brittenum twins, Simon steps up and tells somebody that he fed up of their Hissy attitude. It will be interesting to see what the competitors response will be to Simon. We also saw one of the twins saying he doesn’t do groups! I think that the twins better get with the program, they needed to do the groups and do their best in order try and make it to the final twelve. I think it’s obvious to some of us, that probably didn’t happen.

Comment from the dumb, dumber and dumbest this night. Paula Abdul gets the award of being the Dumbest this evening. She was coloful! Ninty nine make it through to the next round and sixty-seven competitors go home!
