American Idol
Don’t say I didn’t warn you….
American Idol on Wed night was HILARIOUS! My predictions were slightly correct, as Randy “checked it out” 6 times, unfortuantely, though Randy (not Simon) referenced a song sounding like karaoke. And, Paula had definitely been throwing back some of grandpa’s cough syrup because Simon had to pull her arms down to keep her from clapping over her head and embarassing herself. I caught him giving her the “stop being drunk” evil eye once.
Poor Bucky said good-bye. I was disappointed because I feel like he sounded better every week. I think Ace should have gotten the ax. I agree with Jennie- he’s hot, but he cannot sing. And, he’s weird. He’s had several very akward moments on the show.
Anyway, the funniest part of the entire show was when they played another one of those Ford videos. It cracked me up! It was entitled “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” and they were dressed up in awful golfing gear. Bucky, by far, looked the worse, followed closely by Ace (who was wearing pink and purple). Bucky looked like the bastard child of Alan Jackson and Snoop Dog. It was terrible! I even paused it so I could enjoy the moment that much longer.
You’ve got to check it out.
I love how on the American Idol website under the All-New Video Clips it has “Highlights of Bucky’s Elimination.” Granted, for me it was definitely a high point in my AI-watching. However, I’m thinking for Bucky and all the Bucky fans…there weren’t many High points, thus no highlights. But whatever! When did American Idol ever make sense (remember Jim Verraros, Nikki McKibbin, EJay Day, Corey Clark [big mistake there…Paula], Ruben, Fantasia, Constantine, Brian Dunkleman…just to name a few). I stopped trying to figure it out after “From Justin to Kelly” which I secretly love!

I recently read a comment made by Kelly Clarkson when asked why she made From Justin to Kelly. Her reply:
“Two words: Contractual obligation.”
My favorite scene from the movie was the one where she and Justin are walking around the beach looking for each other. They’re singing to each other, but walk by the other without noticing. The extras on the scene were mouthing the words to the song! You can’t do that, duh!
