And because you whacked out kids are still obsessed with American Idol and I know it. Meredith reports...
I need a thread in your blog about A.Idol again. I WENT TO THEIR SHOW LAST NIGHT! Stop laughing. Really. I was supposed to take my mother to the show - who, by the way, has terrible taste because she thinks Nikki can sing. I guess I shouldn't be flattered anymore when she tells me I can sing. Anyway, Mama couldn't go so I took my friend Jeff who wants desperately to be in a boy-band. He's probably going to the next Idol auditions.
The show was like any "Revue" you've seen before. Of course they all sang someone else's songs - they don't have any songs of their own ('cept that crappy Idol single that's played everywhere). The ones who can sing sounded great (Justin, Kelly, Tamyra, Christina & RJ - even your little "Ho Ryan" sounded decent), the ones who can't sounded horrible (Ejay, Jim, AJ & Nikki - though Nikki actually sounded OK on Riannon).
There were BIG doses of Kelly and Justin - basically the male and female leads - duh. And that's just fine with me - I LURVS me some Justin, goofy hair and all. Seriously, though he really did give 150%, but why shouldn't he?
The absolutely funniest part of the show came in the second song. They did solos in order of when they were kicked off the show, so they began with #10, #9, etc. Well, the No. 9 guy is Jim - pasty white with gay overtones. They've got removable sections of the stage so that people can rise up on stage from underneath. He comes up laying on a bench dressed in white pants with a white sleeveless button-down. Ewww. He murdered Easy by the Commodores. BUT while he was walking around singing and trying to be sexy, he tried to run up some stairs to sing to the crowd on the side. And SPLAT - down on his FACE. The mic hit the ground, he hit the ground and the audience ROARED with laughter. He continued the song, but we continued to laugh - all 19,000 of us. We didn't hear the rest of the botched song. It was great fun.
That's all for now.
Now Meredith is supposed to have her own blog because, as you can see, he's durn funny. What's up with that, Meredith?
