Gotta love The Soup!
Tales from the Mall
I love living downtown! On the way home tonight there were two jugglers and I guy drawing a picture of one of the buildings. I see something new everyday.
Sanjaya update:
Fanjaya's are suppose to wear orange on Saturday and go out and try to meet other Fanjayas. I plan on going to the mall. I think this is a really fun idea! I do, however, resign myself to meeting a bunch of 12 year olds! Good thing I'm not a guy. Can you say pedophile??

Will He Stay or Will He Go Now?
Will Sanjaya make it? That's the question on every one's mind. Well, that and what will his hair look like! It's the results show and we know a few things going in: there will be a recap of what we had to endure last night, Gwen will perform, there will be a Ford commercial, they will give us a lame question for the "Idol Challenge," and someone will be heading to the airport after the show! I'm hoping that's there's a group sing. We shall see because THIS is American Idol!
Ryan just came out in a Faux-Hawk and it looks...a little like a samurai wig. "I've been Sanjaya-ed." And here's the recap. And then...the break.
The Ford Commercial is "I Fought the Law." TOO much Chris R. for me. YUCK!
Blake is safe.
LaKisha is safe.
Phil (PLEASE BE IN THE BOTTOM THREE) YES!
Melinda is safe.
Chris R. is (PLEASE BE IN THE BOTTOM THREE) DAMN! He's safe.
Sanjaya is SAFE!!! GO Sanjaya, GO!
Haley is in the bottom three.
Jordin is safe.
Gina or Chris S. will be joining Phil and Haley...after the break.
But first, we see last weeks winner of the AI Challenge. Hello! This weeks question is stupid like the others. Velvet Teddy Bear? Hummm! Who could that be? DUH! Gotta go enter! You may just see me next week! Yeah, right!
Some pimping for the charity thingy and then Gwen. HEY! LOOK! Dancers! I think someone else besides Gwen wrote the songs for No Doubt. This is all style and no substance. It's Fast Music. "I'll have the #3 with a large synthesizer and a side of dance." I'll never understand baggy pants look that shows your underwear. I don't want anyone to know what color my underwear are. I guess I'm just too old.
Another break.
I think Chris S. is going to be in the bottom three and I'm right. Well, my original thought on the bottom three was correct. Go with your gut next time!
Going home tonight is Chris S. See ya! It was great knowing you. Good luck! I'm sure your CD with "Half Past Forever" will sell great. I thought you had a good chance but you really didn't bring it like I thought you would. Chris is doing great job with the song tonight. He should have sang this good last night. We will miss you!
Well, I got that one wrong. Don't forget to vote Sanjaya next week!
Sanjaya Fever: Part two
Some of my friends can't believe that I'm going to vote for Sanjaya so I want to set the record straight on a couple of things.
1) Do I think that Sanjaya is a good singer?
Yes, but not a great singer. Melinda, LaKisha and Jordin sing circles around him every week. What I do think is that he should have never made it to the top 24. American Idol is a TV show that is all about the ratings. AI will pick the people that are best for the show not necessarily the best singers. Sanjaya is a good singer that wasn't ready for the big time but AI picked him as cannon fodder for the ratings. That's the way this cookie crumbles. With this in mind, Sanjaya was an excellent pick! After all, there are people starving themselves until Sanjaya is voted off. Can't pay for better advertising than that!
2) Do I harbor any ill-will to the other contestants?
No, of course not, I wish them all the best. Loosing American Idol is not the end. The best examples of this are Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry (I'm hoping to add Elliott Yamin to that list soon!). The following have also had some success "loosing": Kimberly Caldwell, John Peter Lewis, Kelly Pickler, Buckey Covington, and Elliott Yamin to name a few (that I didn't have to look up first). Winning is also not a guarantee of success either. Rueben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, and Taylor Hicks have not done NEAR as well as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Poor Taylor is being out sold by last year's number 4 "looser" by almost 4 to 1.
3) Do I think that Sanjaya will win American Idol?
I sure hope so! There are so many celebrities in the media today (and in the past) that have done very well despite having NO talent (Paris Hilton is an excellent example) and I think we can all agree that Sanjaya at least has some talent. This is, however, a prime example of getting the American Dream: fighting to make something of yourself despite any obstacles, taking whatever help is offered, ignoring the nay-sayers, and being VERY lucky (or unlucky if you think that Sanjaya's being used)!
4) If Sanjaya wins, will I buy his CD?
No, not a chance of that happening. I also wouldn't buy CDs by Melinda, Blake, LaKisha, Chris R., Brandon, Phil, Stephanie, or Haley. I'm on the fence about Chris S., Jordin, and Gina but I'm leaning towards a no for those as well. As long as I've been watching American Idol, I have only bought Elliott's CD and downloaded a few singles by some of the other contestants. As far as Idol winners, I have one Kelly Clarkson song that came on the CD NOW 22. That's it. I don't think 19 Entertainment is making money off of me.
To sum things up, I like Sanjaya and I will vote for him as long as I can. If you are in the anti-Sanjaya camp, please do me a favor and stop "blaming" the Sanjaya worsters and fans for him being on the show. You need to put the blame on those truly responsible, the producers of American Idol.
OH! One more thing! Something like this happens EVERY YEAR! It's only a TV show. Get over it and get a life...or a blog! Whatever you do...don't stop eating!!
Sanjaya Fever!
It's official! I have Sanjaya Fever! Since his last performance, I have been doing a lot of reading on the net. Vote for the Worst is the best. They get a ton of hate mail that is too funny. Just reading it makes me want to vote for Sanjaya. Here's a sample of one of the email:
WARNING CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE
Go fuck your mothers, twats. There are actually contestants on American Idol who are talented...and who deserve to be discovered. EXAMPLE: Stephanie Edwards, from my hometown! Thanks to fuckers like you, Stephanie is home and Sanjaya fucking Malakar stays....go fuck your mothers. You're all on my hit list.
-Mary-Kerstin
Is this any way to win an argument? I can see myself using this approach with my boss. That would go over like a fart in church! Also, millions of people watch the show and I'm sure that the good singers will get recording contracts anyway. Just look at Chris from last year. His album is out selling last year's winner by about 4 to 1 and he came in forth. Paris, Kelly, Buckey, Mandissa, and Elliott (my favorite) from last year all have albums out. And "hit list?" Is this girl a professional killer? Is she going to hunt down Dave and put a cap in his ass? I don't think so.
Or this one:
THE PERSON THAT CREATED THIS WEBSITE IS STUPID POINT BLANK. THAT SANJAYA GUY SUCKS HE SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR!! STEFANIE EDWARDS IS AN AMAZING SINGER SHE COULD HAVE WON THIS WHOLE SHOW BUT NO BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE STUPID PEOPLE THAT VOTE FOR THE WORST SINGER. WHICH IN REALITY DOESN'T MAKE SINCE AT ALL BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO LISTEN TO A CRAPPY SINGER NOT I. THE PERSON WHO CREATED THIS SITE IS EITHER 1) GAY BECAUSE HE LIKES SANJAYA 2) HAS WAY TO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS OR 3) IS JUST A PLAIN IDIOT. WHOEVER YOU ARE IF YOU CALL YOURSELF AN AMERICAN YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN. YOU ARE SOME BORED, LAME, IDIOT, JACKASS THAT HAS NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT RUIN OTHER PEOPLE'S CHANCE AT MAKING IT BIG. JUST BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET ONTO AMERICAN IDOL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SING AND YOUR JEALOUS!! AS YOU CAN SEE ONLY STUPID LIKE THIS MESSED UP WEBSITE BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE A BORING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!
TAKE THIS WEBSITE OFF THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!

First of all, the caps lock key is your friend, use it! Second, spell check doesn't correct words that are spelled right but are not the word you wanted (it's sense not since). And finally, since when is voting for the person you want to win anti-American? Isn't being an American about doing what you want to do and voting for who you want to vote for? Of course, if you ask a Republican you might get a different answer. (Ha Ha! That was a joke.)
VFTW also gets threatened with lawsuits numerous time a day. That just doesn't make sense (or since if your Beth). How can you sue someone for trash talking celebrities? If that was the case, the National Enquirer wouldn't have lasted one issue.
One thing that I know for sure is that the people to "blame" for Sanjaya getting this far are the producers of American Idol. No one else can be held responsible. They let him get this far. He shouldn't really have made it to the top 24 if you ask me. American Idol is not a show to find the best singer in America. It a show to make money. The higher the ratings the better. If you can kind of sing, have big boobs, and your parents died in a horrible car accident when you were 3, you've got an excellent shot at making it to the top 24. No back story and you better have a voice that will blow anybody out of the water in 30 seconds.
