it's a simulblog!

This will be my first attempt at simulblogging American Idol.  I'm normally not good at doing two things at once, but I thought I'd give it a try.  I'll probably wake up tomorrow, read this, find oodles of errors, ask myself what in the hell I was thinking, and click the delete entry button.  Nonetheless.

Okay, we've seen Tamyra and some of the audition stuff and the Australian Idol.  Filler, filler.  Geesh I hate filler.

Jasmine gets her judges comments from last night, like she really needs to hear them again.  And she goes home.  She gets lei'd.  [Okay, old and tired joke.]  The girl lives in Hawaii.  Why on earth does she want to move to the lower 48?  Send her home people.  Send her home to the beaches and the water and the sunshine.  If not, then send me!  Wow, you're third and you get a trip to Hawaii.  I'd take that prize anyday.

Well, Tamyra's back.  She's written the song that the new Idol will record.  Lord, let's hope it's better than what they gave Ruben last year.  Clay's song eventually grew on me, but Ruben's just never did.  And now Tamyra's gonna sing a song that sounds familiar.  Wasn't this the song that she sang the last time she sang?  ....  Oh yes.  It is.  I don't like it any better than I did before.  Let's get on with it Ryan. 

Fantasia goes home now.  Wow.  She gets a parade.  And the key to the city.  Gee, Jasmine got a state proclamation.  Fantasia got ripped off.  But she did get a fainting couch.  They have furniture in High Point, North Carolina.  She hears her judges comments.  They are as good as last night.  And it's time for another commercial, because they've only had about 35 minutes of those tonight and there's only 15 minutes left in the show.  But not to worry, Diana, you are next.  And I bet Snellville gave you something.  What do they have in Snellville?

Diana's trip home!  Yea!  Snellville, Georgia!   It's in the same direction as Atlanta.  She meets the mayor of Snellville.  Well, it must be bigger than I thought.  And they all dress alike.  Oh God, she went to Wal-Mart??  Well, we know what they have in Snellville.  And she didn't even get a key to the place.  Jasmine got a torch-lighting ceremony in Waikiki, and Diana gets to go to Wal-Mart?  Bummer.  Her judges comments.  No smiles from Diana and no giggling.  No Giggles!  That's a first.

Cheesy Ford commercial.  Cameras are watching the girls.  The best way for that to end is to not get into nationally-televised talent competitions.  Go back to high school.

FOX sure knows how to squeeze every last second of commercial time into its big fish.

Here we go.  Randy hopes the right two make it into the final.  Paula tells the girls to follow their hearts and follow their dreams.  Gee, great advice Paula.  Simon says last night's show was one of the best ever.  Huh?  He must have been at that other American Idol show.

And Jasmine is going home.  No big surprise.  Lots of group hugs.  That's the way it should have ended.  Two episodes ago.  Now she'll have to sing.  Wait!  She has to toss the coin for the show she doesn't even get to sing on.  That's salty.  Fantasia is happy.  She wins the toss, and she'll sing second next week.  Jasmine's eulogy.  Everyone cries but Jasmine.  Oh, that's right, she already did that.  Well, it's about 24 hours too late for tears, I guess.

Such a pretty girl.  And she sings the first song she sang as a top 12 finalist.  Her best effort.  And she looks happier than John Stevens did.

Aloha Jasmine.
