OK, I’m far too busy to blog constructively, so I’ll point you in the direction of Ken Levine’s blog. He’s waxing lyrical about this week’s American Idol. Apparently he was in the audience for this week’s show.
I don’t know who he is, but Ann assures me that he’s a brilliant somebody. Either way, he’s funny as hell.
I knew I’d like him when I read this little gem:
I talked my wife out of bringing a banner that read: “HEY JEWS! YOU CAN NOW EAT BREAD AGAIN!!”
Was it bad of me to laugh at that? Sigh, I thought so.
When J-Lo said Phil Stacey gave her goose bumps I think she spoke for all of us in the audience as well. At one point in his song he got off the stool and stepped downstage. As if by reflex, everyone backed up a step. If our phones weren’t confiscated at least ten kids would’ve called their mommy to come pick them up.
Shit, that cracked me up. Here’s a couple more hilarious excerpts from his blog:
How fitting that Haley would do “Turn the Beat Around” by Andrea True, a former porn star. Best part of her performance: She got up on that audience ramp and I was eye level with her crotch. I almost threw her a dollar.
So bad, yet so damn funny.
It was also hard to hear Ryan asking LaKisha that viewer question. When she mentioned her daughter, Brionne, I thought she said “Frionne” and wondered why she’d name her child after an anti-freeze.
I know. My name’s Karen and I have a sick, sick sense of humour.
Oh well, I’m off to bed now so goodnight all!

Thanks for posting this. I only have children to discuss my Idol musings with, so it’s great to read adults!
And yes – I have prevented the tween from calling in votes for Sanjaya. They’re difficult years but I think we’ll get through it.
