TV - American Idol 5/6

The results are in and Alison is out.  This is truly a bummer.  American should have put the Go in Gokey, or at least sent Kris home for his weak vocals and lack of energy this week.   I could go on and on about my intense distaste for the Gokster, but let me just highlight these two points: he literally pushes his competitors out of the way during group performances to get into the camera shot.   Furthermore, although he "humbly" admitted to botching his final note in Dream On, he took a good five minutes explaining just how humble he is, interrupting Ryan multiple times. 

We also got to witness three "live" performances during the results show from non-contestants.  Paula sang her newest dance single, and I have to quote Stephen Colbert (he was referring to the music of Kanye West)... why buy her album?  You can basically hear it for free!  Just put a tin can to your ear and lean against a Pac-Man machine!  Daughtery was not my style.  

And although this is a pretty whiny post, I must continue with a final gripe: the No Doubt performance of "I'm Just a Girl".   Man did I love my Tragic Kingdom CD... I listened to it until it skipped around every scratched track.   All I can really say is that my heart broke as I listened to Gwen's new, no singing more like vibrating-rapping version of this gurl anthem.  Sad day.
