I Should Be Folding Laundry speaks to me in so many ways, but I'm linking you in particular to her American Idol post.
It's titled "American Idol Recap, 24 hours late" which I find funny because I WATCH it 24 hours late... hold on a minute, I think I watch it 48 hours late and I can NOT phone in and stop you crazy Americans from keeping people like Tatiana on the show.
Useless trivia about me that may surprise you, since I know I emanate peace, harmony and patience (did you just spit your pepsi on the keyboard?):
I don't wait for the show to come on to tell me who has been voted off. I cheat.
I go online.
Then I fast-foward Ryan's silly stalling tactics feeling all smug and warm inside.
Several times I have decided that I'm over American Idol (maybe from
my experience of NEVER picking the winner) (ok, I did pick last year's but
they both had the same name, how hard was it?) so I go into each season
thinking I'm just going to watch the auditions.
It's a guilty pleasure isn't it?
Laughing at people who have more courage than I do to follow their dreams.

And does this year really have some amazing talent, or is it just me-- desperate for entertainment?
Also fast-forwarded are performances that make me uncomfortable. You know, the song you're holding your breath all the way through because he/she just doesn't seem to be in sync with the band, or maybe a little flat.
I never watch the group's lip-synced performances or the pompous peacocks ("stars") being spotlighted (Randy Travis is exempt, I was thinking in particular of one diva from last year whose name rhymes with Pariah Hairy).
Sometimes I fast-forward through the judges comments (please Paula, just sit and look pretty. I really don't want to hear you talk anymore until you're off the painkillers, k? Just sayin'...).
Oh, when you call in, are you really thinking, "She looked good tonight so she has my vote!"? (sorry, another dig at Paula).
Have you ever stood and clapped...
all alone in your living room?
Yeah, I feel stupid afterwards, but sometimes, I can't help it.

I love my SkyPlus box (Tivo equivalent). I never knew American Idol could be so fun (when you eliminate the ridiculous bits).
Bet you sometimes wish you had a Skybox blog reader to forward through my ramblings...
im so glad you are feeling better!!!
ReplyDeleteAI sucks me in every season! Paula, who knows what is going on there?
ReplyDeletePariah Hairy???LMAO...won't be able to see her the same way again!!!
ReplyDeleteGuilty pleasures..hmmmmm...at least this one doesn't make me gain weight..just lose a few brain cells that maybe left in my head. Crap..which is worse...see I'm rambling (had to google that word to see if I even spelled it right, and to think I won spelling bees)...Hugs...
And Adam, eh? eh? eh?
ReplyDeleteHahaha! The hubby and I say the same thing about Paula all the time. hehehe
ReplyDeleteOMG I thought I was the only one who taped and fast forwarded and didn't listen to the ones I felt should have been booted before this and wondered about what meds Tatiana is on...I know she is, she needs to take more tho, that girl is just to pitiable! Loved this post...loved it!

I'm so totally with ya on the being alone clapping thing. And then ya get a little teary eyed sometimes also and say out loud "now that was a really good one, way to go", not real loud but just out loud. Then you look around and double check that you really are alone.
ReplyDeleteJust visiting over from The Color of Home. My crazy sister that seems to have gotten allergic to blogging. Gah. And to think I'm even her favorite sister and can I get her to anything? Noo-oo
Thanks for the laugh.
*Huge Laugh*
ReplyDeleteYa man! In fact I was furious when the the judges chose Tatiana in the wild card round! *faint* The sight of her gets of my nerves....
"Have you ever stood and clapped...

Yeah, I feel stupid afterwards, but sometimes, I can't help it."
I do that at least once in every performance for this season... Allan and my sis used to think I over-reacted, now, they are feel off when I don't do it... *laugh*
Paula drives me bonkers. I almost don't even watch because of her. Maybe I should start tivoing it so I can fast forward through her.
ReplyDeleteTatiana or Norman? Was a toss up to me who would be the most irritating to watch every week. Glad I don't have to watch either of them anymore!!
ReplyDeleteAnd about Paula, I agree. She gets kookier every year!!
Have a good day!!
My friend watches every week. She mentioned they have some very talented people this year. I need to check it out! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteFunny. I've never gotten into American idol and I'm a little glad. It sounds so addicting!
ReplyDeleteI love American Idol and watch every year. This year they do have some really good talent.
ReplyDeleteMy stand out favs this year is Adam Lambert, Allyson, and Lil Rounds.
We don't have a SkyPlus box. Am I missing anything?
ReplyDeleteI've totally stood alone in my living rooma and clapped. Yep, I always feel like an idiot too.
