That's my boy!

I was nervous for Kris after last night, so imagine the girlish squeal I let out when he was named to the top three. Glambert was no surprise, but I am kind of surprised about Glasses Gokey. Yes, he was championed all season, but last night's performance wasn't so great. I thought Allison was at least a bit in her element with the rock sound. However, now I can just hope the Ghoulish Widower goes home next week, so that I'll be fine with whomever wins. It was at about this time last season that I stopped caring completely. Actually, that's a lie. I stopped caring after Carly Smithson was booted, and I could have cared less about the Davids.

But I digress.

I Tivoed most of tonight's show. I did happen to stop during Paula's performance. I wish I hadn't. It's nice that her face was in shadow most of the time so no one could see bad lip synching.

Gregory mentioned what kinds of albums these people will release. It's obvious I'm not interested in Gokey's, but of course I wish him well. (I'm not a complete asshole.) Kris would definitely have a Jack Johnson vibe which would be fine. But I agree about Adam. I don't know what his album would be, and I'm not sure I want an album that is full os the high notes. I think that would get old. But ultimately here's the deal. No matter how much I like someone during the season, I rarely buy any of their music post season. While I have Kelly Clarkson CDs and one of Carrie Underwood's, they've been given to me (legally... ahem). I bought Katharine McPhee's first recording (of Over the Rainbow), but her album was nothing like she seemed on the show, so I avoided the actual release. So, will I buy this music even thought I've wasted months of my life rooting people on? Unlikely.

  1. Re: Paula's lip-syncing. So, the headset was a prop. And then she went over to the big mic on a stand, which was a prop. At that point, she's using two microphones, neither of which is actually doing anything? AND she can dance at the same time. Impressive.

    The only Idol CD I've ever bought was Blake, which I still listen to all the time. I might buy a CD from Kris.

    Daughtry, anyone???
