American Idol Concert Tour Review

Well. Well. It's good that I gave myself a few days to calm down before blogging about the tour or it would have basically been a whole lot of unreadable jibberish that looked a little like this - "OMGhgkjk679ADAMLAMBERtgahhh679q9ue8w5789&%*"

Or something to that effect. (Affect? Effect...)

Anyways. The tour was GREAT. I may have even enjoyed it more than last year, because unfortunately David Cook was disappointing. However, no one this year was disappointing (that I cared about.) Adam was FANTASTIC - the energy in the room when he came out was electrifying (good word). Everyone was just so stoked to see him. Seeing him live was different than anyone else I've ever seen live because he was just so...good. Like, inhuman. ELECTRIFYING, if you will.

Allison, Matt, Kris and Scott were all also very good, and there was nobody bad. Megan was the most disappointing, just because she didn't really connect with the audience at all.

The group song was amazing, mainly because RENEE LOVES JOURNEY. That one song, to be more specific (Don't Stop Believin')

And then AFTERWARDS - oh boy. We got to see them and get SO CLOSE TO THEM IT WAS...electrifying. I touched Kris Allen's palm (not creepily, we high fived) and I squished my hand against Matt Giraud's chest (again, not creepily, I was shoved forward by some weirdo behind me - what kind of thirty year old male freaks out when they see Allison Iraheta? Pedophile. He totally pushed some little kids into the barricades. I feared for my life. Tangent.)

Then Adam Lambert stole my book. I was holding it out for him to sing because people held stuff out and then they got signed but I guess no one else was holding anything as weird as "The Sun Also Rises" because his rep misconstrued my gesture and thought I was giving it to him as a gift. She was like "Thanks, he'll love it" and then she took it. I didn't say anything, because I have to say, the thought of Adam Lambert reading my book - or more specifically Gab's book - makes me a little tingly.

So that was basically my American Idol experience, omitting the part where we got lost afterwards, wandered around downtown Vancouver for an hour and had to take a kabuki cab back to our hotel.

A Post to Make Gab Feel Bad

Gab should feel ashamed of herself for three reasons.

1) She marred our blog with propaganda about Kris Allen and now it looks like we have no taste, when is reality only half of us have no taste

2) She hasn't updated in eleven years and Renee is sitting at home with nothing to do all ready to post her number eight movie but NO Gab is off gallivanting somewhere and can't be bothered to update

3) She punched me in the face (and our readers will never be able to prove if that's true or not!)

Do you feel dead inside now Gab?

I'd Like To Take A Moment...

To draw your attention to the little survey question to the right.

KRISFTW.

That is all.

PEACE, GAB

AI/SYTYCD Post

Unlike Renee, I am jumping for joy! I am so happy for Kris and can't wait to buy his CD.

In other news, SYTYCD starts tomorrow, and in commemoration of this, a video.

Peace, Gab

american idol finale; fingers too sad for caps lock

oh no. my heart. it is bleeding.

The Best Photo of Neil Patrick Harris

At American Idol. BAD performances. Renee wrote a blog about the performances awhile ago. 

Peace, Gab

KRADAM FTW

I am SO glad that Danny has finally left. It's not that I hated him; it's just that I liked everyone else better. Also, he claims to own 27 pairs of glasses, but honestly, they apparently all look the same. I mean, I'm pretty sure that he has 14 black half frames, and 13 black full frames.
I am just so so so happy right now. Kris totally deserves to be the top two. He really is talented. Also, I downloaded a few songs that he wrote himself and they are really good. He's a really talented songwriter, and I have faith that the CD he will inevitably release will be very good. I, for one, will be buying it.
Also, I'd just like to briefly mention how a) good and b) gutsy his performance of Heartless was last night. I mean, to go on stage with no music, only you're guitar, on AI is rare, and he did such an amazing job. That performance ties, but is slightly above, Tracks of my Tears. Bravo.

(I couldn't find the actual video; it's been taken down)

Peace, Gab

David Cook and his good taste

David's favourites are Adam and Kris! Good boy! I knew I loved him for a reason.

Renee Out.

OMG KRIS IS FINE

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE MADE IT TO THE FINAL THREE.

Although, my excitement comes with mixed emotions since I absolutely love Allison's voice. She'll go far in life, I'm sure.

But KRIS was so so so happy and it was so nice. I'll definitely buy the CD that he'll inevitably release. 

I'm excited for the finale!

Peace, Gab

Riffraff Post

Less is more, Renee, less is more. Plus, the quality of my posts is like a thousand times better than yours. 

I have basically given up on AP Calculus. I mean, I don't think I am going to learn anything more tonight. 

This is going to be a mish-mash post.

1) Kris is the sexiest thing ever to sing the AI stage. Furthermore, he did a respectable job tonight. Unlike *cough* Danny. Danny deserves to go home for his performance. But, here is how it's going to play out: Danny fans are going to vote extra for him to ensure he is in the final three after such an awful night. Adam will obviously be in the top, leaving Allison and Kris. For the past couple of weeks, it has been a toss up as to which would be in the top 3, but it's looking like it will almost certainly be Allison. She just has a better voice. As attractive as Kris is, his looks will only get him to top 4. My ideal final 3 would be Allison, Kris, and Adam, though.

GTFO Danny!

2) Renee, my favourite animal post obviously counts! I mean, what about your eyes closed post? It doesn't even make sense!

3) Renee, we seriously need to take some photos together. Y/Y?

4) Gael is SO attractive. Even in the crack video. 

5) Hilarious quotation by Kris Allen (ignore grammatical inaccuracies): "Sharing a bathroom with Adam is well... We're very different. He's got a lot of stuff, and I don't. But the bathroom is plenty big enough where he can fit all of his stuff. So it works." Later, Adam: "It's great! He's got like three items on the counter and I have fourty-five."

Peace, Gab

6) Danny Hokey is the most boring person, ever.

RENEE WINS

So. I just spent like WAY TOO LONG going back and counting all the posts to prove to Gab that I have, in fact, posted more times than her. Here was the final result:

Renee: 131 posts

Gab: 90 posts

And p.s. gab, some of your lame posts shouldn't even count. Like the one where you list your favourite animals? cough*slacker*cough. Plus, you cantradict yourself in an earlier entry when you say that sea kittens are your favourite animal.

EDIT to American Idol post: the more I watch Allison's solo the more I like it. She was better the second and third time. She'd better not be eliminated. And Danny and Kris's duet gets better with more viewings too. You know which one doesn't get better with more viewings? Adam's craptastic horrorshow.

American Idol Recap: Top 4

Oh yikes. Oh my. Oh my yikes.

Not good. Not good at all.

Maybe I'm just in a mood or something but tonight made me really depressed. Everything felt unfamiliar and dark and too loud and I hated it all. It made me miss my David. As much as I love Adam, he'll never come close to my boy Cook.

Everyone was bad tonight. Like BAD BAD. Allison was the best, she wasn't that bad actually. She was so unbad, in fact, that I'll forgive her for all her physical contact with Adam:) She's a good singer, and I was glad she talked back to Simon. But one good singer and two pretty good duets were NOT ENOUGH.

Adam - I hated his performance. I'm not ashamed - I hated it. He let me down. He made stupid embarassing facial expressions at the guitarist and I didn't believe him at all. He was so phony. And the song had no tune. AND HIS PANTS IN THE DUET. Oh my G. They weren't even hot. They were just...nope.

And BTW wth was Slash doing there? He's pretty much the greasiest mentor they could have possibly picked. Oh well, at least he sings. OH WAIT, he doesn't.

And then there was Danny. Oh, Danny, Danny, Danny. Just no. You can't hit those notes. Didn't anyone ever tell you that?

Kris. meh. It was too hard for him, poor guy. It just wasn't his week; we knew that it wouldn't be.

SO DISAPPOINTING.

Renee Out Disappointed.

AAAAAAAARRRGHHHHH

THIS IS THE SOUND OF RENEE HAVING A HEART ATTACK.

sjdjsghjsdh.....

this is the sound of renee slowly recovering from said heart attack because

OMG! Adam Glambert was in the BOTTOM EFFING TWO!!! gab is at her play rehearsals or whatever but i left one hundred messages on her phone so soon she'll know.

P.S. gab i know that i talk about hanging myself in every message but that's just an exageration.

I guess this is posibly a good thing. People didn't vote for him cause they were all "Oh Adam, he's obviously safe" so now they know and he'll be SAFE AS HELL NEXT WEEK. Or I will hang myself metaphorically.

Renee Out.

I Love Dance Numbers!

Adieu, Lil Rounds! Adieu, Anoop Desai. Oops, sorry, Adam I did not know you were in the shower. HAHAHA, that's how this mind gets from point A to point B.

So anyways. Dance number ftw, I think Adam lost his lunettes de soleil unfortunately. The top five are pretty good, maybe minus Matt, I's looking forward to next week, two songs, yeeeah. David Archuleta, what a cutie.

Renee Out.

Song Reccomendation Monday (A Day Late)

Whoops SORRY for having other things to do...like watching American Idol.



Two American Idol alum (I'm in the mood.) Surprisingly good song though. I wanted to do this song by Rogue Wave called Debaser but it wasn't on youtube. Too bad.

Television Compendium: Apr. 9-16

That's a catchy title. It almost rhymes, almost. I think it'll stick. Even so, we should poll the public! (Rachel?)

Parks and Recreation premiere

I had high hopes for this show and it did not disappoint. "Honestly, I pretty much broke my clavicle, so..." My other favourite part was when the poster was tacked up over the particularly gory part of the mural. 

The Office two parter

Probably my favourite episodes of the season so far, or up there anyways. I love it when Michael's not being a total buffoon. (Maybe I need a hipper vocabulary) My favourite parts were all the Pam fighting with Ryan parts and the line "I have to go Mom, P's being a huge B."

Lost

Ehhh, I watch Lost on fastforward now, I don't even like it basically, though I can't seem to give it up. I just want to know what the hell is going on. I thought it was pretty good last night. At least there was no excruciating Sawyer/Juliet mushiness (this is me, throwing up my pancreas). I do think Miles is a really interesting character, so I was glad he got his own episode, and I was VERY glad when *spoiler alert* Daniel Faraday came back at the end. Love him! Still. Lost is being shunned.

HIMYM

Not so funny this week. Hasn't been so funny for a while. Too much shtick, not enough witty dialogue. Too much real pregnancies, not enough Robin and Barney making fake babies. Also, the way they got Lily to leave the show? LAZY.

American Idol

Finally! A good show to talk about. I just need to make two shoutouts to my boyfriend Adam and my bestfriend Allison. Well done, pals! They were the best by far. I pretty much watched everybody else on fast forward. It's getting hard by this point, as it always does, because I'm so attached to all of them. Even Anoop is growing on me. That's why, even though I thought Matt deserved to go home, I was really happy that he got saved because then he was so happy and the rest of them were all so happy. I love it when they're happy!

We just know that if someone good gets voted off next week Simon will be a tool and say "We misused our save." That's probably why he did it, just so he can say that. PS I hate Kara.

Southland

I like it! But maybe that's just because I'm in love with Benjamin McKenzie. It will take a few more episodes to figure out if I like the actual show or just Ryan Atwood reincarnated.

Bones

Best show ever, why do more people not watch it? I guess probably because the dialogue is pure crap and there are only two interesting characters (okay, maybe not the best show EVER). But last night was really good. I like the ones where Brennan doesn't make  fool out of herself (eg. the circus, her solo interrogation, etc. etc. ETC.) I liked the dynamic between them last night, it's been missing for a while. I have high hopes for the finale! cough*sex*cough. Maybe if I had my own life I wouldn't have to live vicariously through fictional romances. Whatever...it's healthy, probably not.

House

Chase and Cameron got engaged. Whatever.

This blog is atrocious

We are disappointing our millions of readers. Shame on us (Gab mostly.)

Since Gab is obviously NEVER going to post her number 1 artist (can you hear the anger?) we might as well start some new stuff. The new countdown is top ten TV shows and I get to start because I thought of it HA.

We need to make some new, honest to goodness posts full of our hilarious wit and pithy insights, not just embed a video and say "Hey look, Renee, I posted." Or vice versa but probably not because I'm so good about posting unlike some people who will remain nameless gab.

We need something for every week day to force us to come online. I've come up with a schedule.

Song Recommendation Monday - Both

Tube Tuesday - Gab

HIMYM Review Tuesday - Gab

AI Review Wednesday - Renee

Thoughtful Thursday - Gab (be philosophical about something specific eg. pita bread, mmmm)

NewHottie Friday - Renee

Catchy names haha, not so much.

Also, I am going to describe any interesting dreams I have from now on, because who doesn't want to hear about my fascinating subconcious happenings? (Answer: No one)

In recent Renee news, besides it basically being my birthday, I'm going to be best friends with Allison Iraheta I decided, because she's awesome and only one week younger than me! And then she'll introduce me to Adam and him and I will ride off into the sunset together. But even if that last part doesn't happen I am still going to be BFFE with Allison (besides Gab being my BFFE, even though I was kind of harsh at her this whole post, haha). So the blog must thrive in order for her to find it!

Renee Out, but not for long

American Idol Top 8 Review. What, NO, I'm not watching Dancing With the Stars now!

I'm pretty inconsistent with my reviews. I'm pretty inconsistent in general. The only thing I'm consistent at is being awesome.

I'll rank the people tonight, because I never remember the order.

8. Scott. I'm sorry, but he needs to go. He's sweet but he's DEFINITELY not good enough to be there anymore. He was very far from hitting a few of those notes. He always sounds just a little offkey. I always feel bad insulting the ones whose personalities I like.

7. Anoop. NO PROBLEM INSULTING THIS ONE. Haha, but he was actually less annoying tonight. Not being a tool, anyways. And he has my boyfriend David Cook's birthday, which is slightly cool. He was boring though, but a cute baby.

6. Matt. To be honest, I skimmed half these performances. It looked okay. I'm liking Matty a lot more lately. I going soft I guess. Maybe it's the recaps of their childhoods (I like kiddies)

5. Danny. He kind of ruined that song. I love Danny but I love that song more and he did things to it that I did not so much like. Also, he does too much of the...I can't even explain it. It's like "oweeeowee" kinda thing.

4. Kris. Maybe I'm putting him too high up, I just love Kris. Loved the taxi driver and ferris wheel stories ("Would you say hi to Adam for me?") But yeah, he wasn't so exciting tonight, and I find it distracting when they play in the audience. I don't remember them ever doing this before this season.

3. Lil. She needs our support! Why are they so brutal to her? Just cause she's black they take for granted her killer pipes. Racist! I love Lil. I hope she hits her stride soon. Or Leel, as her and her mom say, haha.

2. Allison. I didn't particularily love Allison (I realize now I'm being biased and putting people I like high up the list). But whatever. She's really good, her fashion sense imporved...minutely.

1. Adam! Yayy, Adam. I didn't love this one as much as some people (tracks of my tears is still my fave) and for a while he looked like he was sitting on a floating chari, but his flashbacks were ADORABLE ("I liked playing dressup, not soccer") He's the best by so much it's ridiculous. Love him!

There we go. Pretty good review, if I do say so myself, which I do. Pat on the back, Renee! Gold star.
