Tuesday Turn Part II

American Idol.

Oh my. I know the singers are young--however, with ALL the movies ever made, none of them really, REALLY wowed me. Sure, Adam Lambert brought home "Born to Be Wild" and that was about it. Danny felt "Endless Love" yet I didn't. His version did nothing for me, just like the original Lionel Richie and Diana Ross 80's did nothing for me back in the day. Sorry. And Allison-- just can't be 16!--however, to me, she did not sound her usual great. I thought she sounded horrible. I wonder if the judges will hear a difference when they watch it back? But for Lil Rounds, my heart breaks. I'm with Simon words about her. I loved her at the beginning....Lil, you either you sing "The Rose" straight or do it all the way R & B/gospel. The two didn't mesh. I hoped Lil would have just stood and sang Beyonce's "Listen" from Dreamgirls. To show off her pipes and finally have her moment!

My opinion: Bottom Two will be Lil Rounds (for her added 'tude) and Kris (for a song nobody's heard)

Dancing With the Stars: I called THAT! Bye bye, Steve-O!

American Idol First Night

Indeed I watched.

For me, the guys were stronger. My faves are: Steve Fowler (I wasn't too thrilled about that whole Michael Jackson thing either), Danny Gokey (he looked pretty hot without those glasses), and Michael Sarver (not the best song, yet I like him-and he's from Texas). As for the females--the only on that stood out in a positive way: Alexis Grace--I really liked her. Who should go? Just about all the rest of the girls, especially Tatiana Del Toro. Some parts of song were good, yet when she spoke, I wasn't really feelin' doing a latte with her. Not likable. I don't hold her dream in my hand.

So the first night of American Idol is in the books.

I had my popcorn.

And I'll have more popcorn as the weeks go on.

All is good.

American Idol & Oscar

Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson are both nominated for Oscar

in Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Both have appeared recently on The Tonight Show. Jay Leno seemed eager to meet them both. I was also eager to see them both. Hmm. After both interviews, I wondered if Jay wondered why he was so eager in the first place. I know I was. Before get all hatin' on me--sure, they both could have been nervous. Afterall, it was The Tonight Show, how could you NOT be nerovus?

However....for me, Ms. Henson ran the conversation and not let Jay talk much. While Ms. Davis told us how she didn't like to see the 'boogers' come out of her nose on screen and didn't much answer how it was to work with Meryl Streep. My thing is, you're being introduced to millions of folks, who may have see your work or they have and want to see how you conduct yourself. And if they don't like what they see, they're not going to buy a ticket. The audience didn't sit in stun silence, yet I believe didn't laugh as thought they might on the 'booger' comment. I'm curious who coached the women for their The Tonight Show interviews? Anybody? Wasn't impressed with either one. Sad, really, because I like what I've seen of their acting chops.

If either Ms. Henson or Ms. Davis win, I pray their acceptance speech redeems. A little humility perhaps.

American Idol. We know the Final 36. Got my favorites. The Welder and the Oil Rig Guy are right now my # 1 Billboard Chart Faves, then a couple other guys I like too--so we'll see. As for my not-so Must See--Nick/Norman and Tatiana. When Nick actually sang for about a minute, he wasn't bad. Tatiana....oh my. American Idol gets real next week--so more will follow then.

Get your popcorn ready.

Tuesday Starts

And ya know, I'd be there. Even after a job interview, earlier today. Went well, yet confirmed I desire my own business. Plus have my words performed--are you out there Tom Hanks, Spike Lee, Queen Latifah or even the neighborhood community playhouse director?? Dreams are BIG. Which brings me tonight.

What gets revved up again tonight, for all those with their OWN big dreams?
And we watch and wonder if the main folks on the show, duke each other out?
The reason my bedroom brown eyes will be glued to the TV every Tuesday and Wednesday, until--oh, May?




Need I say more?
Nope.
Let's get this up and going !
Pass that Blue Bell Chocolate Covered Strawberry ice cream this way.
Because THIS is American Idol!
