Before the blogging begins, we lost another star I grew up with. Corey Haim OD'd this morning. I felt he was the better for the two Corey and he will be missed. I always watch Silver Bullet and The Lost Boys whenever they are on. Let this be a(nother) lesson, kids. Drugs are BAD! Even if they aren't illegal.
It's a man's world...at least tonight. The show's only an hours tonight (thank goodness). I needed the extra time to pack. Speaking of packing, did I mention we're moving! I'm so excited (still)! I signed the lease today and gave her the money. I found out that our new apartment is already occupied by THREE GHOSTS! One of them is Charlie, the bank robber. Maybe he'll tell me where he hid the loot!
I'm not going to be able to blog tomorrow night. We're going out of town and I'm NOT taking our laptop. At least that's what I'm telling myself now. I may change my mind tomorrow but, for now, I'm going on vacation from everything (I even planted 3 day crops on my FarmVille).
On to the show. The songs for tonight have leaked and, if the list is true, Lee has picked a current song that I HATE! It's that damn Owl City song. I change the station every time it comes on. HATE HATE HATE! I'd have to say that Owl City is right up there with Rush on my "Music I Hate" list.
Lee "Geez Louise" Dewyze - "Fireflies" -
1-866-436-5701 - Yeap, he's singing that horrible song. I will have to say I do like his version better than the Owl City one. It was mercifully short but that didn't give me enough time to turn my hate into like. I think he's trying for a David Cook vibe but he's just not as good as David. Sorry, Lee. I'm just stating the facts. Randy calls it a strange song choice but he made it work. Ellen calls he out on the pitch problems but she thought it was great. Kara thinks he looked confident and thinks he made the song a better song. Simon says there's nothing to rave about but is glad that he's here.
Alex "Love My Mullet" Lambert - "Trouble" -
1-866-436-5702 - Well, I'm not sure what to say about that. I really like him. He makes me smile. He sounded good and I really liked the middle but I thought he just seemed stiff and timid. I'm still voting for him. Randy thinks it was a good song choice but wasn't wowed. Ellen boos Randy and calls Alex a mushy banana and says he's getting better each week. No one like a cocky banana. Kara says he's still stiff (damn, I'm channeling Kara tonight). Simon thinks he needs to relax and imagine Randy in a bikini.
Tim "This is My Last Show" Urban - "Hallelujah" -
1-866-436-5703 - This another song I really don't like. I think it's over done on Idol. Tim is okay but I'm not wowed (thanks, Randy). However, it is his best to date. Randy called it a great song and thinks he did a pretty good job. Ellen calls it fantastic and runs and give him a hug. Kara thinks he's in it now and she was feeling it. Simon calls it a smart song choice and calls it Tim's strongest performance. VTFW is contemplating changing their pick! WOW!
Andrew "Straight-up" Garcia - "Genie In A Bottle" -
