too good not to share - funny take on the american idol finale (spoiler alert)
8:00 I hope this is worth it. I am SO in need of coffee but I'm going to wait for the first advert break.
8:04 Frequent quote clips of the judges were a good laugh - except for Simon's off camera "what?" reel. But then he's Simon, and you don't make fun of Simon.
8:09 I'm mildly disgusted how they shoved/lumped Danny in the centre right up there with Alison and Adam to remind everyone of the producer's Chosen 2. Was this item choreographed at the start of the Top 13 or something?! Scarcely any footage of Kris in that group performance but lots of Adam. I fear for Conway...

8:15 David Cook sings in a bartender outfit to remind us of his roots but still looks hot. I could get into this song.. How about David Cook write the next AI Song and then Kara can go back to copying other judges' comments, sweetie honey sweetie? Oooh lots of dramatic backlighting... They've certainly got better with that this year.
8:19 It's a charity single! Yay!! Go Cook!!!
8:20 Ooh it's whatshisname from Season 1 who lost to Kelly Clarkson...
8:21 Golden Idol Awards timewasting. So THAT'S the guy who went in before Adam Lambert... maybe they swapped song interpretation tips (heh) No wonder we didn't notice Kris until Group 1, all these guys were taking up the producer's time. Norman fakes surprise as well as half of Hollywood which is promising I guess. Is Kris Allen's wife wearing the same yellow dress as Kendell Beard from the group rounds?!
8:26 Lil Rounds performs with Queen Latifah. Come on people, she wasn't even in the Top 5! If they deprive Matt or Allison a celebrity duet, I'll be seriously upset with the producers. I suppose they felt Lil needed a career consolation - she was an early fave after all. Lil is still underwhelming and very backup singer to Queen L.
8:33 Anoop and Alexis are the main singers for I'm Yours?! WTF Jason is Kris'... and no one else's!! Are you trying to kill me? I'm even more convineced TPTB are trying to punish Kris for being the dark house. How can you deprive him of a duet with his idol? Jason is great btw.
8:35 Aww Kris reel *heart*
8:37 Kris with Keith Urban. Finally a proper duet! There's leaps more chemistry between these two compared to the rock week one between Kris and Danny. But then that could have been the War of the Roses and had more love between the leads. The two K's voices blend well. Why does Simon seem to always do blue steel face while he looks into the audience? Paula seems happy with the duet, but then she's always up and clapping for every male performer.
8:45 Who is doing the styling for the girls in the Glamorous performance?! They look like 5 tweens out for Halloween as the Moulin Rouge girls. Alexis seems to be wearing a cake topper (one of those Happy Birthday swirly ones) on her head - maybe she's supposed to be the Xtina in this combi. Fergie actually looks the most sexy and classy of the lot! Maybe that was the intent? Yay Black Eyed Peas!! Gwad Megan grooving in her patent FMBS - Mike must be happy! AHH I want Fergie's heels!!! Man BEP know how to work the crowd... Allison is genuinely screaming along like it's their concert. The monochrome men are a little N'Sync but this is entertainment. Nice work guys!
8:50 More Golden Idol rubbish... (off to get brekkie)
8:55 Kara comes from behind and sings. Hand on there are so many things wrong with that... AND she flashes everyone! With Paula dancing and Kara flashing, no wonder there wasn't enought ego space to let the poor Top 3 actually sing their Producer's Choice. I'd have loved for a NEW song choice of their own for the finals, as per previous years. Kara is lao chio tho... damn and I just bit into my cheese toast :(
9:00 Finally Allison sings! With Cyndi Lauper! Is it just me or is the angle of Cyndi's legs akimbo is really distracting... Allison rocks Time after Time and I want her to release this as a single. TPTB, please?! OK this is turning a little harikrishnan but overall I still love my little rocker :)
9:05 Momma Allen wears the one-shoulder trend. Yay styling! I love how Pappa Allen says everyone who voted "did their job" LOL
9:05 Danny Gokey sings Hello... Ok what is up with Danny covering songs that David Cook did just last season?! First he does Billie Jean and forgets the lyrics during hometown week, and now he dances with Lionel Richie?! Why are they allowing Gokey to dance... couldn't they do a Michael Buble and keep him in his element? Danny looks uncomfortable with this duet while Lionel perfoms as though it's his own stage. Now he knows how THAT feels *slap* Danny looks like an audience who got hauled up onto stage to dance in the dark.
9:09 Thank goodness for adverts... need coffee
9:14 And we're back! Where is Matt's time in the spotlight? It's Adam's love reel now. You can tell he's going to win by the quotes. OMFG he's wearing wings!! Oh wait... it's just his jacket. I think Adam is actually coming out on live tv right now! 'Me and the boys will be playing all night (twinkle in the eyes)'- heh... More dramatic light and it's KISS. I just noticed that Adam is in mad mad platform heeled boots! He also is very comfortable in them. Didn't I say he was coming out on tv? ;)
9:21 Oh they're showing Princess Diaries 2 on Saturday! (yay Chris Pine) AND Elizabethtown! Gotta love Cameron Crowe.
9:24 1/2 an hour left and no Matt? He must be bummed that Lil got more love than him. Carlos Santana performs seemingly solo... Oh wait! FINALLY Matt sings but again it's not really in his genre. But wait, he has to share the stage with the Top 13, Adam sings (again) Kris has sexy voice for his small bit. I'm ignoring Gokey. Eww Gokey does another crotch thrust... does this man know no other moves?!
9:30 You can tell the Ford Hybrid is not Adam's style but Kris sells it well.
9:32 Wow Michael Scarver and Megan Joy get more sing time than Matt? Megan is still offkey... but looks hot... Steve Martin looks disturbed by her voice... This is starting to feel like a SNL skit. Aww I love Steve Martin. M just smses to say he turned on the TV and was chuffed that he was just in time for 'tattoed hot chick' Oh Mikey, you should have seen her gyrating in hot pink and knee high boots...
9:38 Oooh the guys are in suits ala Reservoir Dogs! Yummy... It's a Rod Stewart cameo and he's in plaid! I'm taking this to mean he's subtly supporting Kris *heh* Mike: How do they get the blind guy to dance properly? Me: Practice? I think this furthers my theory that they start plotting out the finale show once they get to the Top 13.
9:43 Do TPTB have a new show with Janice Dickinson coming up? Her Zoolander face is getting more screen time today than Matt and Kris combined!
9:46 I can sense a Tatiana moment... please no please no... oh my god...
9:47 She fakes surprise and sings Saving All My Love for the 4th time. Ruben looks confused... I think someone hasn't been following Season 8 *tsk tsk*
9:48 Cue adverts. Thank goodness!
9:52 They're singing Queen's We are the Champions? I sense build-up for an Adam win. Poor Kris... talk about skewing the show! At least Kris slips in a consolatory smile to his family & friends via 'I thank you all' - I'm sure he can feel the producers' luuurve. The 2 guys look genuinely happy with one another though. Alexis is in thigh high boots? Again, what is up with the styling? Were there no other types of shoes available or did they order in bulk from Skanks R' Us?
9:59 We're back! Simon is nice to the two guys. British Telescope guy announces that 100 million votes were cast.
10:02 OMG!!!! It's KRIS!!!! What a shocker!!!! Papa Allen is about to cry... Take that Producers *bitch slap* Talk about American Idol, thank you America for voting without listing to TPTB. Off to wait for the Idolatry dude dye his hair red now...
oh, she also runs this really cool shoe boutique eve, check it out if and when u're in the club street vicinity.
