Yesterday on American Idol Paul McDonald sang Smokey Robinson’s Track of My Tears and on Jimmy Kimmel Live they pointed out he might have sang a lyric wrong. When Smokey Sings (wait that’s another song) the song he sings, “I’m masquerading”, but it sounds like when McDonald did it he sang, “I’m masturbating.” You listen to it and be the judge. I am agreeing with JKL and going with masturbating which gives a whole new meaning to Track of My Tears…
BTW am I the only who thinks he looks like a member of the Bee Gees?
American Idol’s ratings are down and I am wondering if Fox is starting to feel it and cutting back on the changes that were made for the show this season. The show has just finished the audition phase and most of the Hollywood round and will start the brand new Vegas round on the show tomorrow. Tomorrow’s episode in Vegas where the contestants perform songs from The Beatles was slated to go two hours and then on Thursday the Top 20 would be revealed in another two hour episode.
Well today returning EP Nigel Lythgoe Tweeted, “Because of all the Drama in the #AmericanIdol green mile show we have been asked to cut the Beatles Vegas Challenge to 1 hour instead of 2!! #AmericanIdol on Wednesday is a 1 hour Beatle Challenge and then 1 hour of choosing the top 20 up until JLo breaks down and can’t continue!” and then added, “I truly hope #SYTYCD in Atlanta goes smoothly today I have to get back to #AmericanIdol in LA at the latest tonight!!? We have a great team.”
I wonder what happened that they didn’t like what went on in Vegas and the Top 20 selection shows that the two-day, four-hour episodes were cut down to one-day in two hours. What will they air on Thursday? A Glee repeat? Seriously I really want to know why they are making such a drastic change so close to air. Maybe 36 hours seem like a day and a half away, but to me it sounds like their are some internal problems with the Idol changes. Just me reading into something that probably doesn’t need to be read into…
Things that make me thankful about his Tweets, is it good to know that I am not the only one feeling this season…
Yesterday American Idol opened the show with a girl who did not make it to Hollywood and she told the cameras the reason why she didn’t advance was because her audition stunk…but not in the way we would normally think. I feel so bad that she was showcased like that because she will never ever live that down. Even people who had the crappiest (no pun intentions) auditions could hold their heads up higher than she will be able to. Poor Fart Girl…
So far to me American Idol has been a major snoozefest, but then yesterday there was a contestant who caught my attention and actually made me remember them. Courtney Penry will not be remembered for her voice, she will known for not being a chicken and revealing her true feelings for Ryan Seacrest. Let’s say how she feels about him is nothing to cluck about, but I am not sure if he feels the same way about that chick.
The good thing is she was sent to Hollywood, so hopefully we will see her again…and I have to wonder if after seeing that video package if Seacrest feels the same way?
Jennifer Lopez Tweeted the above picture and said, “On the set playin around with the boys ;-).” Looking at that photo, I had to wonder when did Ryan Seacrest get so tall because he looks like he is the tallest one there. I have seen in him person a few times and he just didn’t stand up as high as he is in that group photo when I saw him. Now when it comes to Steven Tyler, he is a like a freaking giant. So I really have to wonder if the American Idol host got in to Tom Cruise’s shoe closet?
