Oops, I did it again.

American Idol, man. It’s killing me over here.

David Archuleta is not old enough, sexy enough, clever enough or broken enough to sing And So It Goes. THIS is exactly why I hate Michael Bubblytoes or whoever the fuck he is. STOP. KILLING. GOOD. SONGS. George Michael is out of your league, and Billy Joel sure-the-hell is out of everyone’s league. He’s out of Billy Joel’s league anymore. (This song and me have some history, can you tell?)

Creepy aside: Did Paula say she wanted to exploit David’s something? She’s gotta stop huffing the Aquanet. He’s TWELVE, dude.

Syesha Mercado is singing Alicia Keys because Randy asked her to, after he’s spent 5 seasons telling people to stop bothering trying to sing Alicia, Whitney or Kelly Clarkson. Randy clearly hates Syesha and wants her to lose. Maybe so he can get David into the New New Kids on the Block. First album? Not Hangin’ Just Yet.

Ouchie aside: Go look. You know you wanna. The caption on his Facebook pictures says, “The 3:36pm model has significantly less trunk space than the 3:45pm model.” Now you have to look.

David Cook just got podiddled in the humnashmurna by Simon. Awesome. (I think he’s gonna rock it.) The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is a great song, and I don’t care who says what. I wish he’s sang it A Capella; I think that would have been his Bo Bice moment, but I think I’d still let him see my boobies.

I like to make up words aside: Really, do I have to translate that?

Dear David Archuleta: You may not use Prime Time TV to audition for the Gay Christian Pop Rockers Kidz Bop. Or Up With People. Thank you. Signed, the Not 8-16 year old demographic.

Message for you, sir aside: Ted Haggard called for you, David. He’d like to schedule an appointment with you. ASAP.

Syesha Mercado is doing what? Singing Fever? Now, David Cook could’ve Torn That Shit Up, but she was just meh. Nice legs though. VERY nice legs.

David Cook is up again (and his hair gets better every show, don’t you think? Also, puuuuuuur) with some song I don’t know (which is hard to pull of, yo) and might not win American Idol, but is going to be David Archuleta’s first single on the Gay Christian Pop Rockers Kidz Bop album coming out for Christmas next year.

Clarification aside: I have nothing, at all, against gay people, christian people, rockers, kids or bop. Well, maybe a little something against bop.

David Archuleta is on my shit list, officially. What the fuck? Didn’t Dan die? Couldn’t they have buried Longer with him?

*ahem* aside: Dear god, will some contestant please sing the phone book already? Just to make the judges stop saying it? I would pay you, dawg.

Syesha Mercado makes unfortunate song choices, but excellent brassiere choices.

Neurotic aside: Black jeans make my skin crawl. ON EVERYONE. So do shorts. Just sayin’.

David Cook is covering Aerosmith’s I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing. I will marry and have tiny little babies with the first person who shows up at my house with an actual, vintage Aerosmith tshirt. It’s the ONE thing I want before I die. That said, David has and could have done much better with this song. And that makes me cry a little inside.

Whaaa? aside: Paula’s crack kicked in halfway through the show. She went from zero to EEEEKKKKSHREEEEEEKKKMUMBLE in less than 60. Impressive.

    Is it bad that I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about??

    [Mr Lady] No, Maria, it’s a very good thing. Just say NO, dude.

  • Shamelessly Sassy


    I tried to dry hump David Cook tonight. My husband got so pissed that I was blocking the tv…and humping it. But seriously, David Cook deserves all of my dry humpage. I’ll even admit to voting via text tonight. And dry humping David cook, some more.

    So do you umm, like Aerosmith?

    Cus I’ve TOTALLY met Steven Tyler.

    Except I shook his hand and didn’t know it until afterwards.

    But I’m still cool, right?

    [Mr Lady] Can I touch you, please?

  • Kelley


    Again with the alienating the Aussie readers. Or reader. Is it just me and you just wanna send me over the edge? Perhaps start posting photos of people wearing *vomit* crocs *vomit*, that will totally drive me away.

    Cause that is what you are trying to do, right? *sob*

  • Xbox4NappyRash


    Is there not a Canadian idol?

    now THAT would be a whole new ‘level’ in entertainment.

    Xbox4NappyRash’s last blog post..I said ‘Nappy’, dammit

    [Mr Lady] There is, brother. Oh is there ever. Imagine, um, errr, American Idol. In Ryan Seacrest’s Grandmothers basement. Filmed by Quentin Tarentino back in the Reservoir Dogs days. With a lot of Celine Dion covers. Oh, and Nickelback. Tons of that, too. Crying Uncle yet?

  • Neil


    I’m not crazy about her, but it is clear to me that the judges or producers want Syesha out of there, so they made her performances out to be worse than they really were.

    Neil’s last blog post..Imaginary Paris on $5000 a Day

    [Mr Lady] Quite possible. And quite the conspiracy theory. I like the way you think, Neil.

  • amy


    Why have you not been doing AI updates all season? I would have loved to hear your thoughts on some of the other train wrecks that have been booted off. And I will tell you that my two preteen girls who are supposed to be swooning over David A with the rest of their demographic think he is the biggest geek ever and are crushing on Mr. Cook. See I’m raising them right.

    amy’s last blog post..Nursing is NOT in her future

    [Mr Lady] Because I am ashamed. Actually, I have been, just not here. Click here and search the American Idol posts. I live comment weekly to his live posts. Pathetic, I know.

  • Tammy


    Love the commentary. I read this post and the song “I Wanna New Drug” but Huey Lewis popped in my head….this AI drug just isn’t doin it for me. And Yet I watch it….better yet….I TIVO it every.single.week.

    Tammy’s last blog post..There’s an art to eating pasta!

    [Mr Lady] Remember when he was on Sesame Street singing Hip to be a Square? Yeah, neither did I until just now. And now I may never forget. You hate me, don’t you?

  • Mike Marshall


    Okay……………I have never watched and I don’t ever intend to watch AI. I like to listen to Hard Rock and some Metal. “BUT” I loves me some Billy Joel……..his voice gives me goosebumps. Don’t tell anyone! (haha) God Bless, Mike.

    [Mr Lady] It’s Unamerican to dislike Billy Joel. I approve. Metallica RULZ!

  • MidLifeMamma


    I thought I was the only person left on the planet who knows what “Up With People” is. HA! If little David A. doesn’t stop SQUINTING because he is trying not to close his eyes because stupid awful Sir Andrew “I plagiarize myself constantly” Lloyd Weber told him to stop CLOSING his eyes I might blow an aneurism. Close em, open em, but STOP SQUINTING. It is creepy.

    [Mr Lady] I am, sadly, all too familiar with Up With People. We can thank Carin for reminding me of that horror.

  • Kat


    Holy shit!!! You speak my thoughts…I have to meet you!! David Archaletta sux…I just don’t get it! And I have to admit, there was a little dry humping the tv after Mr.Cook’s performances around here, as well!

    Happy Day to you…loved the post!

    [Mr Lady] Oh, I know it. And that’s why I loves you.

  • christy


    Winning Idol isn’t cool.

    So Archuleta should win, it suits him.

    David Cook would do better without that millstone around his neck.

    Poor Archuleta and his terminal uncool, and Daddy Dearest background…….

    Oh my God. I am actually pitying someone on a reality show. I need a drink.

    christy’s last blog post..My shopping chromosome is missing…..

    [Mr Lady] You may need several. You’re worse off than I thought. :)

  • Candy


    I’m really crossing my fingers that Archuletta is going home this week, so I can watch my-20-something-part-time-lover-David-Cook kick Syesha’s ass back to Florida and community theater where she belongs and for which she is clearly auditioning each and every week.

    Candy’s last blog post..More Effective than a Breathalizer

    [Mr Lady] I kinda stopped caring after Chris Daughtry got sent home last season. In fact, I think last season blew it for me entirely. Yet I still watch it. And apparently, now I blog it, too. And you make an EXCELLENT point about Syesha. I see her doing tranny musical theater, personally. She’s got the upper body strength for it.

  • Kim


    I still can’t believe you watch idol. (shaking head.. LOL)

  • Carin


    I actually saw Up With People at my high school … way back in 19mumblemumble.

    And I would definitely show both Davids my boobS – Cook because he’s teh hawt and Archuleta because I’d want to see him pass out. Syesha may be beautiful, but she doesn’t get to see my boobs because she’s boring.

    Mishelle is on her way to your house, with her vintage Aerosmith tee shirt on. She’s practicing her best “Jaded”, “Reefer Head Woman”, and “Round and Round” lyrics!!!

    She knows that it’s not physically possible for the two of you to have little babies, but she wants to try. She’ll try anything to get in your pants.

  • NukeDad


    Okay, officially outing myself as a Fan Dogelberg dan. I mean, Dan Fogelberg fan. Given: “Longer” is the sappiest, skankiest, gag reflex inducing song ever; I might even put “Run for the Roses” and a couple others up there, but dis the man’s entire career?! He has a TON of songs that ROCK, and roll, if you’re so inclined. Saying he “Sux in toto” is like saying Sally “You really, really like me!” Field deserves to win more Oscars. Please! OK, I feel better. Oh, I dig Metallica also, just so you know, I mean….nevermind.

    NukeDad’s last blog post..Big Word Wednesday-Week 6

    [Mr Lady] No shame, NukeDad. I loves me some Folgelberg. Just Longer, man…it makes me want to chew on tinfoil. Because that would feel better on the head. I LOVES ME SOME FOLGELBERG. (Go ahead, Mas Younon, lemme have it….)

  • Shelly


    Oh my god, how funny! I love Roker Boy as I call him!! He has to win or I will never watch the show again. Paula needs some help, or maybe I need to try what shes on to deal with her….

    [Mr Lady] The first part of recovery is acceptance. You WILL watch again. We all do. I think I might have to start an AiA group.

  • Matt


    Sorry, but David Cook is only good by process of elimination. If you close your eyes and listen to him, he is almost always “pitchy” (oh, man, now I’m saying it).

    Agree with everything else you said, except I think you skewed David A.’s demo a bit high. More like 2-8.

    I would have the Aerosmith shirt for you, (well, not totally vintage), if someone hadn’t stolen it from me when I accidentally bailed into a row of chairs during “Back in the Saddle” at their concert. Yes, it had a skull with a top hat on it. Yes, I bribed the T-shirt dude an extra 20 bucks so I could cut in line so as not to miss the first song. And no, I hadn’t been drinking. OK, I had, but I probably would have fallen anyway.

    Matt’s last blog post..RedSparks Baby Gift Giveaway

    [Mr Lady] They’re ALL only any good in the context of reality tv, yo. And as for the tshirt? Telling me that is like making me look at a cheesecake behind a glass window. It doesn’t help, and it in fact makes me cry a little. :)

  • Half-Past Kissin' Time
