hollywood is not america.

liveblogging idol:


omg, this thing with ryan and hayden what's-his-face is RETARDED, lol. jumper looks good, tho.

why are they trying to act like this is still the same week?

hey guise, THE TALENT THIS YEAR IS STRONGER THAN EVER! :O

50 bucks says josiah is one of the last ones of the day.

some guy nobody's ever seen, clearly he is toast.

[SIDEBAR] JON WALKER YOUR FACE IS PERFECT [/SIDEBAR]

more poor anonymous people getting cut, like we care.

i have no problem with carly, but i hate it when people who practically get head from the judges are so nervous. get real! of course she's getting through.

annnnd i'm talking all this shit and she made me tear up anyway, lolz.

i c u josiah bb! ♥

awww, josiah's myspace status: No matter what happens tonight, i pray i will keep all of my beautiful new friends...

*~commercial~*

mmmm, david cook. pink tie! i approve. he got a great reaction from the room, seems like he's popular. is that michael johns high-fiving people? i'm going to assume it is and keep my imaginary slash pairing alive. :P

(i'm a few minutes behind, plz to be excusing me.)

OH SHUT UP DAVID ARCH, YOU WON STAR SEARCH YOU LITTLE LIAR.

i think he's darling, but that is suchhhhh bullshit.

I HATE KRISTY LEE COOK FYI. she a) has already had a recording contract with arista nashville, and b) has a video of herself singing in front of a confederate flag. FAIL.

i am sort of liking brooke white a little, idk. i wish she'd curse and watch some porn tho. way too pure and precious for me. but i'm finding her oddly charming. except for how i hate kristy lee cook and apparently she likes her.

lollllllll danny bb you're darling.

ohhhh, that was the never-seen LUKE who was high-fiving re: david cook. *makes note*

jason castro is super-pretty and i like his stuff on youtube, but i'm concerned he's total cannon fodder. :(

they're TOTALLY saving josiah for the end. poor bb.

*~commercial~*

awww, farmboy is a cutie.

oh shush michael johns, you practically got head on stage in hollywood. lighten up.

syesha, i do not care about you, sry2say.

robbie darling, plz to be getting a haircut before i see you again! ♥

OH GOD JOSIAH BB. (i am totally spoiled, i know what happens, and i'm nervous anyway!)

*~commercial~*

lol, this jason yeager is adorable. i saw pics of him but...i didn't think he was cute at all? what happened?!?! :O he's a country singer, right? sigh.

i think david hernandez has a great voice, he's cute...and i don't remotely care. oh well.

josiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. *holds him*

HIS LITTLE FACE. :(((( i've been dreading this moment for weeks. god I HATE THIS SO MUCH. and way to take the opportunity to pimp michael johns and carly as they console him, idol. i hate this show.

rant: the thing that pisses me off is that i have NO DOUBT there will be at least 5 people in the top 24 who are nothing but cannon fodder. and here's josiah, and his fucking mom is terminal and he wants so badly to have some measure of success before she dies, so she can see it, and they can't give him a shot? hate. :( [/rant]

*~commercial~*

last four. aw, this colton kid is adorable.

i'm shocked that simon likes kyle so much. SHOCKED.

awww, were colton and kyle buddies? sad.

i do not care about either of these girls. i wish cardin made it, tho. yeah, a spoiler 2 minutes early, too fucking bad. :P

joanne, you won some reality show, too, stfu, stop acting like you've never had a shot at anything.

oooh, drew/brandon hug ftw.

ummm, i have nothing else except JOSIAH BB. :(((((

I read on TWoP earlier today that apparently Carly had an album in 1999? And that it cost two million to produce, and she was given a car to use during that time and was paid living expenses? I am not sure if that is true but it made me a little sour on her.

yep, all true. wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Hennessy)

it sort of makes me feel bad for her, honestly, but i hate that AI is acting like she's this total amateur.

several of the contestants this year have already had deals and/or pretty major experience: girls (http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/30/ai-od-the-top-24-leaked-the-girls-video) and the boys (http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/01/28/ai-od-the-top-24-leaked-the-boys-video/).

Well that was a depressing few websites. I mean, I'd read a little about the experience behind some contestants this year (and now that I'm caught up with the season, I'm now exploring your Idol entries, hence the sudden comments), but nothing about any of my favorites so far, and blah, now I'm (I REPEAT) rather bummed. I really don't know what to say about someone who had a record deal but it wasn't successful, if they deserve another chance via Idol or not.

MCA released Hennessy's first single, "I'm Gonna Blow Your Mind", which got very little radio airplay as it was considered too mature for regular Top 40 radio and youth-oriented outlets (especially as the song is about oral sex)

Now there's a legacy.

Also, about Kristy Lee Cook, the confederate flag stuff is disgusting. I used to see kids wearing shirts with that on it all the time. How is that fashion?

could not agree more with your josiah rant. i am not a huge josiah fan, but he totally should have made it over this last guy, kohlton whats-his-face.

it's just such a shame, man. idk why they devote so much time to someone and then never even give america a chance to vote for them.

Regarding Josiah, I really wish they had given him a shot, but I also keep telling myself that maybe he'll be more successful by NOT making it. He's way too talented to not make it in the industry in some way.

Sadness. :-(
Noriega all the way.

BRANDON/DREW HUG FTW!!!!! I really wish they made it just so I could continue to slash them for the rest of the season.

jason castro is super-pretty and i like his stuff on youtube, but i'm concerned he's total cannon fodder. :(
Oh no :( I'm worried about this too, but I'm hoping he can pull an Elliott and make it really far without any airtime.

Josiah bb! *cries* I just want to hug him and never let go :( :( :(

right?!?! that hug was full of wonderful. damn you, AI! >:O

*clings to pretty dreadlock boy* i'm hoping this is a case of them keeping someone a secret so they come out and blow everyone away. idk. maybe?!

josiahhhhhhhh. :((((

So, firstly, I love all of the internet slang you used in this post. especially the "plz to be" and the "sry2say".. haha.

Secondly, I ALSO wish Robbie would cut his hair but I do not foresee that happening. :( Maybe he'll shock us sometime.

aaaaaaaaaaaand this part:
lol, this jason yeager is adorable. i saw pics of him but...i didn't think he was cute at all? what happened?!?! :O he's a country singer, right? sigh.

that is my boy and it makes me happy that you think he's adorable. :D I am SO upset they haven't shown him singing at ALL yet, though. I haven't seen him perform in like 7 years, all I have is his CD (of covered country songs lol) to get me by. But yeah, when I met him he was in a pop boyband, but then he moved to Missouri and started the whole country thing. so I am really not sure which route he's taking on here.. since they HAVENT SHOWN HIM. The boy CANNOT dance though. XD

I was shocked about Simon liking Kyle too! I really liked how Simon handled that, though.

I still don't like Carly.

I think Brooke White neeeds to do something about that hair. Thankfully stylists come into play next week. lol


and you already know how I feel about Josiah bb. :( SO. SAD.

He'll probably be okay, though... he was pimped a LOT for someone who didn't even make it through.

ilu ♥ :)

heh, glad i amused! i'm always kind of spazzy during AI so everything comes out all ridiculous, i can't help it!

and yeah, based on the top 24 pics robbie is clearly not so much wanting a haircut. oh well, can't win 'em all. :P

i thought jason was utterly charming. i hope he goes more pop than country because i don't like country, but he's probably better off doing country because i don't think there's any other country singers this season. either way he definitely has an uphill battle, not having been shown singing at all. :(

i am ambivalent on carly. i just...idk, i always like anyone irish and i feel for her. not because of her stupid visa problems, but because i think having that contract and everything she did and it going NOWHERE had to suck really, really hard. on the other hand, she's mostly been just ok for me so she's going to have to bring it to actually impress me. plus i hate the pimping.

josiah bb. :( :( :( *clings*

ilu2! ♥

Oh, and um, that Jon Walker is kind of adorable. But I didn't say that.

lol Awww they are all adorable! I like how Brendon laughs at himself kind of a lot.

Ok, so in Panic, I know Brendon and now Jon Walker, and Ryan's the little one, right? And who's the 4th guy that doesn't talk?

aren't they? "we didn't sleep in the same bed last time" will never not be hilarious. oh boys. ♥

the other dude is spencer smith, the drummer. he does talk, just not here!

have some spencer! and more jon walker! this is old but they're cute.

I have no idea who about 2/3 of the people who made it through are. Granted, due to my job I haven't been watching Idol as religiously as I usually do...but seriously, I feel as if at least a dozen of the top 24 barely made it on screen.

I AM SO FUCKING SAD ABOUT JOSIAH. I watched his performance of "Grace Kelly" at work today (I missed it because I got home late) and totally GIGGLED at the adorableness of it. I need to buy those songs he has on his Myspace.

And that Jason Castro is quite pretty btw
