MOST BORING SEMI-FINAL EVER!!!! Excerpt:

Lackluster Round Two After last night’s American Idol performances (ranging from lackluster to mediocre), who can we predict who’s going through? We know Allison Iraheta’s great, and Adam Lambert is probably a shoe-in even though I personally don’t dig him at all.This season of Fox’ American Idol still has a ways to go to round out the talent. Let’s see what happens, shall we?

First there are montages of how the contestants got to the semi-finals.. Blablabla – we know!!!

Then we go into the group number, which is is “Closer” by Ne-Yo. This is a MUCH better choice than last week’s Jason Mraz-turbation.. Nick/Norman is toned down, Jeanine’s short shorts bring much unneeded tranny-ness, and Mishavonna looks even stiffer than last night. I am so glad there’s only one of these semi-final group performances left – watching a bunch of grown people grapevining across a mini-stage is cringeworthy.

Read the whole recap here on TV Grapevine. Here are some random quotes excerpted from my blog. I had to fast forward through some performances, they were so blech:

Ryan is wearing a black polo shirt and jeans. Why he’s dressed like a computer programmer running errands on the weekend, I have no idea. It’s also bizarre to see him wearing short sleeves in the dead of winter….

Right, so this past week has been ompletely bonkers:

I’ve been working two part-time jobs (plus cat sitting!), trying to make cash money to survive .

Juliet and I have also been trying to keep up with the octo-mom parody being on CN-fucking-N (and how to follow it up).

Plus performing!

And starting a new sketch group.

And being in my comedy duo.

And working overnight exteriors on a background job – which I questioned doing ever again this year, but they waaaaved a SAG waaaaiver all up in my face.

Plus recording a new song parody.

Annnndnd, uh…doing three back-to-back night shoots for a short film (I’m talkin’ 5pm-5am).

All this made me realize how completely ADD I am, and that I prooooobably need to prioritize (but of course, I’m free practically all of next week, so it could just be bad timing).

AI is finally getting good! Read the full recap of the Group One Semi-Final Results Show. Excerpt:

Tonight on Fox is the American Idol Results Show of the first semi-finals. Ryan asks how the judges felt about last night’s performance overall. Randy gives some vague commentary, saying that it was good with some disappointments. OBVIOUSLY. Kara (who is wearing a really ugly suit jacket) actually names names: Stevie, Casey, Stephen.

Per usual, there are some strange sexual tension jokes about Simon and the other judges. This is getting TOO weird and I only think it will get worse as the season goes on.

Hey guys! We got word that we were at 75,000+ hits on The Huffington Post!!! We’ve gotten some really great comments and some totally ridic ones as well (why would you think Ann Curry is Caucasian?! She’s CLEARLY “Oriental”), and Juliet and I have been having so much fun that we made another one.

Here’s the semi-finalist announcement recap on TV Grapevine.

The contestants are going to the huge “Judges’ Mansion” (a so-classy it’s tacky joint with ducks in the pond, paintings of cherubs and topiaries), where “final judgment” will take place. Seacrest explains that they will walk through the holding room to the garden into a Versailles-looking room, adding to the tension and drama of choosing the 36 semi-finalists who will perform for America’s votes.

Juliet Jeske and I shot the Nadya Suleman-Ann Curry Today Show interview earlier this week. It was basically up for less than a day before it was featured on CNN’s Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer!
