Snark Raving Mad! banner

So American Idol finally ends, and up pops another obsession.

I mean, I can’t even stop watching. Every time an episode ends, I turn to Frank and say, “Can we watch another one? Please? Kthx.” But at least with this obsession, I don’t have to blog about it immediately or anything like that. No one is waiting to see what I have to say, whereas […]

Finally, an explanation for the sideburns . . .


Haha! You don’t rule the world yet, tweenies!
American Idol S7 finale

Thank goodness it’s almost over. Unfortunately we have to endure two hours of filler. I mean, I could just read about it on the interwebz, since the show is probably over on the east coast by now, but that wouldn’t be snarky enough.
97.5 million votes came in for the show last night. I’d wager 40% […]

Someone get the crackpipe away from the judges.
American Idol S7 top two

Seriously? Um… let’s get ready to rumble?
David Cook in a boxing robe, in the red corner. I won’t argue with that. And then there’s this dude, weighing in at “100 pounds soaking wet” — true dat — in the blue corner. The boxing announcer dude says that THIS! IS AMERICAN IDOL! And he’s about 1/10th […]

Holey Sunglasses of Justice, Batman!

Dude.
Discuss.

On to the Humdinger.
American Idol top three elimination

The top three are singing “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now,” and again I ask, really? All the songs in the musical ‘verse to choose from, and we get that cheeseball song?
Crappy Ford commercial. “Heaven.” This week they didn’t even try, did they?
56 million votes last night. I didn’t bother, because I can never get through […]

I Love Producer Sabotage Night.
American Idol S7 top three

Is it, Ryan? Is it American Idol?
High school student, actress, bartender. If anyone but the bartender wins this thing, I might not be able to motivate myself next year.
Right. Addictions are just *so* easy to give up. No, not the addiction to American Idol. The addiction to writing about American Idol.
LOL. Marilou Henner […]

Dreadless.
American Idol S7 top four elimination

Ryan just said, “This is American Idol.” Weeeeird. He didn’t say, “This! … is A…merican Idol.”
Frank and I want to know why Randy is always being so mean to the contestants and making them cry. Ryan wants to know if Simon was angry last night. “I wasn’t angry. More like full of hate.” He didn’t […]


Open letter to AI . . .

Please stop screwing with The Beatles — it’s annoying me to no end. Even worse, they keep dragging out that horrendous “Love” album as if it is somehow representative of The Beatles’ music. Can’t we please go back to Stevie Wonder night?

Dreadful.
American Idol S7 top four

I’m so thankful we’re down to four. Soon I’ll have my Tuesday nights back until next year.
BTW. I keep hearing/seeing people say/write that this is the worst. season. evah. I totally disagree. Last season was the worst. season. evah. I loved that the top 24 this year actually had talent. No Sanjayas. Sure, some of […]

It’s okay. It’s ooooookayyyy.
American Idol S7 top five results

Ryan says, “We are live, and this is American Idol.” Yeah, we got the full effect of live last night when Pauler took a dip in the vodka pool in Koo-Koo Land.
I think it’s funny that the British music stars are performing so much on Idol lately.
Oh good! A Neil Diamond song and/or medley! Are […]
