My living room got taken over last night with the hockey playoffs on MSG HD. The Boyfriend is a diehard fan of the Washington Capitals and watches the TV with the internal sounds in his head coming out the entire time. His sounds are something like this: Go! Skate! left! over there! go! move! slashing! Cut his throat! Rip his eyes out! This is all so very relaxing to come home to after a long day at work. When I walked in the door, he came over, gave me a kiss and then immediately went into the bedroom where he emerged with a Capitals t-shirt and said that I had to put it on. I joined him and his friends on the couch and we watched as the Rangers won the first game by one goal. Aggravation.
Since this game hijacked my Idol Results show time, I had to peek at the results on people.com. I was very surprised. For sure, it was Lil's time to go. I was also disappointed to see that Anoop was in the bottom three once again despite his very strong performance on Monday. Kris Allen may be the dark horse here - he hasn't been in the bottom three in a while, and I think he's getting the same votes that David Archuleta - basically the 13 year old screaming girl vote and the grandma vote. These people are very devoted to their favorites and have a LOT of time on their hands to vote. Then again, the real stand out this season has got to be Adam Lambert. Nobody can compete with his originality. Even Quentin Tarantino seemed to be a fan.
I still love Allyson Iraheta and hope she makes it at least to the final three. Her performance was very good this week. Not great, but very good. As for Danny Gokey, is it me, or is every song he sings a love song for his deceased wife? I understand it's very emotional and he definitely has talent, but it's starting to feel a little old and at times his smile and personality is verging on smug. Some of you will wildly disagree and that's fine, but he rubs me the wrong way for some reason.
As for Matt - I think it was the right call to use the Judge's Save. I'm not sure who else they would need to use it on. Gokey, Lambert and Kris seem to have a great fan base. And I think people are finally starting to catch on to Allyson. Lil needs to go next. Matt they saved this time and he's very talented, but inconsistent (same with Anoop). Should be exciting to see who the final 3 will come down to. My favorite week is when the judges pick the songs for the contestants. Next week they are getting rid of two and it will most certainly be Lil and someone else. Hopefully not Anoop. Everyone needs to bring their A game.
I REALLY REALLY hope the show goes back to allowing all of four judges to give comments on each contestant. It's so annoying when we can only hear from 2 - especially when one of those 2 is Kara. Although - I actually loved what she said about Kris Allen - but she definitely was not given enough time to express her opinion even more after Randy bashed him. Lil's speech after Simon ridiculed her performance annoyed me and I'm glad that my DVR cut her off. It was perfect timing. I have always said that once you feel the need to explain your performance, you're already doomed. It should be self-explanatory.
