Jordin And Dol

May 24, 2007 @ 09:20

I have a question for the producers of American Idol.

How the hell could the show go overtime when you had two hours to announce the name of one winner?

I know you like to turn the final night into an extravagant gala, but that's what two hours is for. Even at that, it was a stretch.

And while we're on the subject I really think there should be a law against other people singing Beatles songs.

You should have to take a test and then get a license before you attempt to re-create anything by the Fab Four.

Last nights butchering of Sgt. Peppers was excruciating and put me in a foul mood until Jordin Sparks was justifiably named the winner. Anything else would have been corrupt.

The show ended with an emotional song and shots of Jordin's parents and grandparents while my sweet wife Delyse dropped tears onto our leather couch.

It's a regular occurrence at our house. We watch television and it doesn't take much for waterworks to start.

It can be American Idol, a drama or the freakin' news and just about anything with any degree of emotion attached will cause Dol (nickname) to shed a tear.

And this is not to criticize. On the contrary, it's what makes my wife the sweet, lovable and compassionate person she is.

Just ask anyone who knows her.

Green Day just covered "Working Class Hero" and it is excellent.

Right on Jason. It was the first time since I first heard Green Day that I liked them. It was an appropriate tune for the majority of folks that watch Idol and get hooked into the "dream".
I just hope that they get it!

Fred - Dol is very sweet, compassionate and lovable....and American Idol still sucks!

That Beatles thing was brutal....and Green Day should stick to skateboarding.

I thought they were going to break into "Carry That Weight" but Fantasia wasn't there!

Yeah, Green Day. Just the group I want interpreting Lennon.

I'm not sure I get why so many people are making such a ruckus over Simon's leaving. I happen to prefer Ellen, but both are have jumped ship we will see how the show fares with a hole in the rightmost chair.

Who in hell decided building a mosque at ground zero would be a great idea? I am not really a great fan of both Glen Beck or Sarah Palin although compared with Obama and the supremely senseless administration, these two are prodigies, come on The usa, there is certainly a certain amount of weird stuff happening here.

Why is Creating a Mosque at Ground Zero in fact allowed to come about? I have never heard something so utterly strange in all of my entire life. If this truly reaches fact, It will likely be the hardest situation of all time. valarie

Constructing a Mosque at Ground Zero has got to be the bizzare notion within the history of humankind, I actually assume it is intentionally intended, at very best, to insight conflict. I am not a conspiracy theorist still , this is either shameful or evil, conceivably both of them. yvette

Lohan blames a part of her worries on the tabloids idealizing hard partying superstars, announcing “I would look up to those ladies … the Britneys and what ever. And I would be like, I wish to resemble that.” She proceeded to state that, “I see where that has got me now,” she says, “and I don’t like it.”

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
