American Idol Week 4 Results - End of the Asian Invasian?

Last night's Jimmy and Friends Results show, proved that being the funny man will not get you far in life or at least not American Idol.  Yes, my friends, my favorite American Idol comedian Heejun was sent packing. My Asian Invasian dreams are over. At least for now.  Booo America.  


Now does he have to leave the show and go home?  Or does

American Idol Week 4 - Cougar Town?

Holy eyebrows batman!!

Last night Jimmy and Friends showcased the legendary Stevie Nicks whom, i believe, was completely out of her mind on drugs.  She certainly proved to be a cougar, hunting young wild game as she was whispering sweet nothings to Phillip and the other male contestants.  She also was dressed like my 72 year old aunt. Oh wait, thats right.  This is because she is like 72. 

American Idol Results Week 3 - Happy 87th berfday Steven!

Last nights results show was a snooze fest as always. Fast forward is our best friend during this hour.  

Few things.. 

• We did stop our fast forward session to listen to Lana Del Ray sing Video Games.  Something about this song i love; not sure what it is.  It is so hauntingly beautiful.  Something about the way she sings it in like 6 different voices.  She's sorta like the new white Nikki Minaj.  Let's just hope for next years Grammies she is not hovering over the audience pretending she is possessed.  Regardless, she sounded fantastic.

American Idol Week 3 - P.Diddy Daddy Dirty Doody Dud Dumb Money

Last night's American Idol aka Jimmy and friends had Diddy as the celebrity mentor.  It got weird when they announced his name.  They werent sure if they were to say Sean or Sean Combs, or Puff Daddy, or Puffy, or P. Diddy, or Diddy, or Diddy Dirty Money, or A$$hole (dollar signs intended). Regardless, he went simply as Diddy last night.  I think Diddy or A$$hole wanted to be a part of the show so he can get ideas for new remixes.  Its been awhile.  What was more interesting was to see JLo and A$$hole appear on the same show together.  Possible reconnection?  DannyBart.com will bring the exclusive if it happens!  


The show opens with Shannon leaving the show.  We see the other finalists crying their eyes out as they give hugs to Shannon as she says goodbye to her dreams of becoming America's Idol.  Why the f are they crying?  I hope they are tears of joy!  It's a competition people!  Get over it!  You want people to go home. This isnt Polish* Idol!  (* I am allowed to make this joke because i am polish. Sorry if i offended anyone)

American Idol Results Week 2 - Enough about the sponsors!

I came to a realization last night.  American Idol's results show should be renamed to The American Idol Sponsor Show.  It's basically 1 full hour of non-stop advertisements from their sponsors.  Last night the contestants attempted their acting skills in a "scary" themed Ford commercial.  I had to fast forward because i was too frightened by the acting.  But now i know, whenever I am in a situation where there are ghosts haunting me, a ford Focus will help me get through it!  YESS!  Then we had JLo plugging her magazine, her new video, her new makeup line, her new single, her new boyfriend, her new nipple slip; you get the point.  Later, we had Tommy Hilfiger; yes.. Tommy Hilfiger, come out and talk about how he is the fashion designer for the American Idol tour?  I am not even sure what to say about all this.  They seriously should just cut the show to 5 minutes and announce who is going home already or announce it on Twitter as they shamelessly plug that all night as well. 

American Idol Finals Week 2 - Dan.I.El

Will.I.Am was helping Jimmy coach the finalists this week, hence the title of this post. Like what i did there.  Oh boy, what a night.  Does anybody else think that the coaches, aka Jimmy and friends, are doing more worse than better for these singers.  

I was surprised that they brought Will.I.Suck back out this year to critique and coach the finalists again.  For one, he looks like a black John Lennon who just arrived from the planet Voltron. Also, every single hit that the Black Eyed Peas have had relied on MEGA auto-tuning and robot voices.  So what gives this man the right to critique and judge singers in a competition when he uses robot voices in his songs!  I don't get it.  

Baby Lady Will?

The Bachelor Final Rose - Beauty and the Ostrich

"Will you marry me?" is the ultimate sacrifice a man makes to prove to the one he loves that he is willing to spend the rest of his life with her (or him... its 2012).  And the woman's (or man..its 2012) response "YES" is the ultimate sacrifice a woman (or man..its 2012) makes to receive a lifetime of happiness with the one he/she loves.  This is reality.  However, in reality TV world, that "Will you marry me?" is watched over by 5 cameras, 3 set designers, 57 producers, 460 sponsors,  17 takes, 18 script rewrites, 400 minutes of memorizing the "will you marry me" script and of course a setting and scenery that is to die for.  Also, in reality TV world, that big fat YES is not a yes to marry the man of her dreams (or his dreams..its 2012). Instead, that YES is to receive that $80,000 ring that was, of course, sponsored and conveniently placed in the show prior to the proposal.  Gotta love reality TV!

Change?:
It was evident in last night's episode of American Idol that change is need. Apparently, America's vote is beginning to matter less and less in this show. The fact that the judges decided who to sent home clearly proves that they are trying desperately to change this format in anyway possible.  Soon it will be called Interscope Record Idol.  Jimmy, one of the main peeps at Interscope, is showing up more, as well.  Perhaps he should be a permanent judge on this show because, lets face it, he is brutally honest and knows his shit!

Survivor 1 World - Colton vs Bill. The epic showdown.

This past episode of Survivor proved, once again, that the men on this show are morons.  I hope that women who are watching this show don't think that all men are created equal, because if that is the case we would all be scratching our asses with steak knives given the moronic moves these men have made so far this season.  


Quick Recap:

Im surprised Colton didnt catapult Lief

I missed the first 10 minutes due to DVR failures but i didnt miss much apparently.  The women destroyed the men, again, and got their 3rd challenge win in a row. After the win, WeeMan aka Leif tells Bill that he was on the chopping block the prior tribal council.  Somehow word gets out to Colton and shit goes down.  NEVER EVER EVER ever ever ever reveal a secret or sabotage an alliance with a gay man. Colton reacted as if he heard that Judy Garland faked her death and is living in Mexico at the tender age of 90.  Speaking of Judy Garland, his comment, "that little munchkin is gonna get knocked back to oz", may top the list of the greatest Survivor quote.  Once again, i am embarrassed i couldnt think of this on my own. Colton tells Lief that he is going home. Lief admits that he put his foot in his mouth. I am thinking he needs to put something of Colton's in his mouth in order to stay in this game!!

American Idol Finals Week 1 - AND DIIIEEEEEE-EEEIIIIII WILL ALWAYSSSS LOVEEEEE YOUOUUOUOUO

Just as we suspected

Last nights American Idol was epic in terms of the singers that the finalists had to portray.  The men had to sing Stevie Wonder and the women, the late Whitney Houston.  It was comforting to hear Whitney's music as i havent heard it in a long time {sarcasm}.  Overall the finalists did a decent job with their song choices. 


Some early observations:
Jimmy Iovine is the new Simon Cowell of the show. His brutal honesty is what makes this show still real in some ways.  Last week he got criticized by the judges, especially JLo, for being too harsh to the contestants.   Umm.. your job is to do just that and not tell the singers how pretty or handsome they look.  Anyways, Jimmy appears this week with Mary J (the queen of R&B?) and gives some lessons on how to sound bad ass for America.  I like this guy. I dont know why. I can say this, he knows what he is talking about as he is a HUGE producer and chairman of Interscope Records.  In fact, if you listen to some of Eminem's early CDs you will hear Eminem make references to Jimmy, as he is the one who supposedly sent Em's demo to Dr Dre to get signed.  Just a little fun fact there kids. (i totally googled it)

The Bachelor - Women Tell All aka Women Bitch Alot

This weeks Bachelor was the "Tell All". The part of the show in which the ladies tell all that has happened on the show. They should basically change the name  to "Ladies Bitching" because basically that's all this was for 2 hours clearly proving that women do not get along.

Some highlights of the night..

Alcatraz - Another one bites the dust..

This is a post specifically meant to make fun of shows that had potential and failed miserably. The moment that i give up a the show is when I stop the recording (while watching), delete it and then goto series recordings on my DVR and remove it completely.  This is what i call Stop-Delete-Cancel Recording.  These posts are an homage to the specific point that i gave up on the show. 

This particular blog is all about the new show Alcatraz.

Alcatraz

I really tried hard to like this show and almost did.  That is, until,  all the bad writing and character development overshadowed my interest.  I think i made it to the 4th episode, the one with the landmines, when i gave up.

My moment of Stop - Delete - Cancel Recording (click here for prior posts) came when Sam O'Niel's character, Hauser,  gets a lead that the 102 yr old land mine killer is loose in a park plotting his next move.  Hauser shows up at the park in his loud gas guzzling super huge SUV; one that is so loud that it would scare the fish away in the nearby lake.  It just so happens that he pulls up at the exact time that the killer is standing behind a rock.  As he looks over, he sees the killer walking non-chalantly away behind the rock.  The killer didnt even notice him, but of course, Hauser did and the chase is on.  The killer would have certainly been on the lookout. The car approaching, as well as the car door shutting would have certainly sent this land mine killer dude running far far away; but he did not hear a thing!  This type of cliche scene has been done soooo many times.  Its an easy out for the writers to sum up their cat/mouse chase.  For me, this was my Stop-Delete-Cancel Recording.  There was just already too much wrong with the show that i had to give up forever on it.

Terra Nova sucks dinosaur @#%$!

I just want to punch this family in the face

ok so where to begin. After feeling an emptiness after Lost dissipated from American airwaves I've had a need to feel this void.  The last couple years have had mediocre shows at best. Even Dexter's last season was a little weak (of course how do you ever beat season 4).  My 2 hours of watching tv at night with my wonderful wife Rosie is starting to become 2 hours of us playing on our iPhones instead of watching TV.. I sorta blame the iPhone for that :-)

Person of Interest... or i should say Show of No Interest

This weeks Survivor proved a big turning point for the guy's tribe. We learned 2 major things this episode.

1. Guys are idiots.  They dont know how to use that little part of the brain that solves puzzles. Its no mystery that men can't remember shit. I still need to go back and see what i wrote in my blogs 10 minutes later because i forgot. So we can already assume that the men were gonna lose the memory challenge. But puzzles... come on.. you had like a 15 minute head start!
2. Guys are smart.  I know i comletely contradicted myself but voting off Matt is one of the smartest moves that the men could have made. And it was designed by the lovely half man-half amazing Colton.

Some things about tonight..

• Jen KILLED Hey Darling by the Beatles.. in a good way.
• Jeremy sang Carrie Underwood ... great last note.. Jlo and Jeremy had a moment and shared tears.  Jlo is loking for the complete opposite of her ex.. someone who is fat and much yonger and doesnt look like an hispanic Skeletor

• Briele sang Adele.. really?  it sounded like Adele's special sister sang it.. didnt she hear Jimmy say "Jimmy doest want to hear Adele.. Jimmy is tired of Adele"

Jimmy's tired of Adele.  Jimmy doesnt want to hear Adele anymore

• Deandre... i hate it already.. didnt even hear it yet.  Cares more about his hair than he does singing.  But wait.. what the hell happend.. homeboy with curls can SING..  Where the hell did this voice come from.  His falsetto sounds much more controlled this time.  Phenomenal range. Needs to tame his Adam Lambert scream!
• Erika sang Edge of Glory Lady Gaga.. damm sounds just like her.  beginning was good..middle was terrible!  Chorus is just aight with me dog.  Did she get tired or sometihng..maybe hungry in between
• Reed sang .. well first decides to change his clothes.. i cant stand people who sing and talk to the audience in between teh song like "come on" or 'put your hands together" or "thats right you feel it".. shut up.  Reed got confused on stage as he was loking for his drum set.  this dude had 18 hour energy drink before he got on stage. Im not sure what just happened.  Of course he didnt get chosen but he would have been really really fun to blog about had he did.

American Idol season 11 - Top 12 girls, half named Holly

For my prior American Idol posts click here

Last night was the top 12 women performing so let's get right to it.  


Some observations:  

• Ryan Seacrest looks like Kermit the Frog
• Steven Tyler decided to wear his mother's old couch cover as a shirt.
• Does Coke sponsor American Idol?  I am not quite sure.
• I think every girl in the competition is named Haley or Holy.. 

Steven's shirt material?
