And I thought I hated David Cook. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong.
I was wrong.

mish mosh pit of doooooooooom
This is funny:
It's Anderson Cooper and Kelly Ripa making fun of American Idol. No, nonono, WATCH it. Funny!
Britt is continuing to feel psychotic from her month of visitors and has decided to post something I wrote for her blog. It's not the post I really wanted to do for her, but I've been busy in NYC and TN and now I'm home but I have a stupid cold, so we go with the post I wrote forever ago.
Also, saw Doomsday with Mom this past weekend and… well, go see what I thought.
I was gonna see Mel on the way home from TN but she was having dinner with her mom when I was passing through. I know I'll get to see her again because EVENTUALLY MY COUSIN WILL GET MARRIED, DAMMIT!!!!! or Dawg and I will make a trip to TN since my parents love him even though they've never met him.
I officially have a cold, really. *SNEEZE* 'scuse me.

This is David singing A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton in his home:
This is David singing Imagine by John Lennon on AI:
I do not understand why this person-who-is-an-angel doesn't already dominate my radio and iTunes collection. What is the world waiting for, exactly?
Update: Ack. So good!!!!!!!!! And that's before his voice changed!!! I

The commercialization of AI
Soooo, yesterday I glanced at a headline that Irish Girl Whose First Album Flopped has worked with Randy Jackson in the past. And I also read a quote from Nigel Lythgoe pissily defending the fact that there are much-better-than-amateurs in the competition this year. And then I read someone's commentary that in future years any musician not currently on contract could then potentially audition for AI, win, then have a new contract!
So… like, if Paula Abdul didn't have a contract… she could, like, audition, and win American Idol.
That's messed up.

I may not have a TV but I still have an opinion
I respectfully disagree with Rickey of rickey.org about Josiah Leming's choice during Hollywood Week of American Idol 7.
Frame of reference:
I did not see his decision to excuse the band while he sang his song as a "diva" move. This kid is "homeless," living in his car. He was trying to get his chance at becoming the next American Idol. He made arrangements for each person in the band but they refused his arrangements. When he tried to sing with the band it went horribly wrong for Stand By Me. So, when he got to the stage to sing in front of the judges after little sleep and having no other choice, it surprised me that he excused the band but then it made sense to me. I saw it as, "if I'm going to fuck this up I'm going to do it all on my own." And that's what happened. And hopefully he'll come back next year with the knowledge under his belt that, until he gets that contract, he has to fit into the cookie cutter.
