Idol Media is Better than Idol This Year...(Spoilers for Tue)
LOL omg I love reading Jim Cantiello's and Michael Slezak's (from MTV and EW, respectively) reviews on Idol episodes more than the actual episodes this year. I was just reading Jim's live-blog of the finale tonight (which I did not read, because, hello west coast being shown Idol later than east coast even though Idol is filmed on the west coast), and came across some funny funny stuff :)
A few fun points (out of many) from Jim's live-blogging:
7:48 I'm in the press-room, which is located below a garage of the Nokia Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. There's no cell reception. I only spy one exit. God forbid there's a fire, tell my wife that I love her. And tell my cats "meeeeooow." They'll know what that means.
7:53 The press room is half-empty. Last year people were fighting for seats. Thanks for breaking the show, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen! When this dog and pony show gets canceled, I expect you to hire me as part of your entourage. I got mortgage payments, Kradam! Help a brotha out!
8:14 Between Lee's "The Boxer" and Crystal's "Me and Bobby McGee," Round One could have been re-named "Songs That Feature Las and La Di Das!"

8:48 Somebody in the pit keeps making the Danny Gokey Heart sign. Even the studio audience has Season 8 withdrawal.
8:52 Wasn't so bad. Crystal thanked Simon and wished him well on his future endeavors. Except it took her 45 seconds to remember the word "endeavor." Good thing that the final round wasn't a vocabulary test.
8:54 The original "Pop Idol" is singing "Get The Hell Out" or whatever this goodbye song is called... Aww, an adorable montage plays behind him, reminding us all of the potential this season had. Hi Lilly Scott, Alex Lambert, Katelyn Epperly and Tyler Grady! Thanks for making things interesting for a little bit, at least.
LOL. Jim, you are officially more interesting than the show this year. Thank you :)
