Hi Everyone,
So I’ve been writing about AI for TV Grapevine since the start of the season, following wannabe singers’ Bambi-like efforts towards becoming a huge pop superstar. Though I love doing recaps, it was WAY too hard considering that I was out performing most nights and unable to watch the show until the next morning. With TV and the Internet and all this “new media” mumbo jumbo, you gotta be on it!
Anyway, I’m happy to say that I am now going to be doing straight editorial on the previous week’s action + doing a look ahead/prediction/forecast! I’m really excited because I get to just write about what I want now, and give you opinionopinionopinion!
Here was my last recap of last week’s Michael Jackson-themed performances: Top 13 Recap
Here is an excerpt and link to my first editorial/look ahead piece about the upcoming Grand Ole Opry week: Jen’s Idol Dish
Last week’s Michael Jackson theme on American Idol could have been a total disaster, but these are the strongest Top 12/13 Finalists Anerican Idol has ever had, and they put on a really solid show. Let’s relive some of the highlights from last week!
Top 3 Performances:
3. Danny Gokey
2. Matt Giraud
1. Alexis Grace
Top 3 Inadvertent Show Stealers:
3. The Matrix screensaver used during Anoop’s performance.
2. Danny’s “Groomsman-Gone-Wild” dance moves.
1. Megan’s MILF mom – HOLY HOTNESS!!!
Top 3 FUBARs:
3. Anoop’s unfortunate collar-up situation.
2. Lambert giggling throughout his song – a song with racial themes!!! Dude, I know being serious is not your thing, but if there were anytime to take it down a notch, this would definitely be it.
1. Kelly Clarkson’s hot mess-ness! Dry hair, a Bar Mitzvah mom outfit and not getting into her performance until about 45 seconds in?! Looks like somebody could use a little “Focus” Vitamin Water!
Thanks to everyone for reading the recaps! The editorials will now be coming out on Sundays, and are part of TV Grapevine’s newsletter, which links you up to reviews and recaps on a shit ton of reality shows, etc.
