Sinatra Songs
Harry Connick, Jr., who I like, mentored the contestants this week as they attempted to entertain us with Sinatra songs. It’s just so sad. There is no one worth rooting for. I don’t really like any of them. So I will be brief – not because I don’t have the time but because it’s not worth the time.
Aaron – Thin tie, grey vest. Judges way too nice, especially Randy and Ellen. Not sure they were listening to the same performance they showed on tv. Fly (Him) To The Moon.
Casey – Purple shirt and dark vest. Marginally better than Aaron but still painful to listen and watch. Judges lambasted him. Probably gone this week. He’ll have plenty of time for some Blue Skies.
Crystal – Black sleeveless mermaid dress. To summarize the judges: It was sleepy, indulgent, and she needs to loosen up. I prefer the sound of the Summer Wind.
Mike – Judges all loved it. I don’t know why. Mike: I don’t care about the Way You Look Tonight. Or the way you sound. I guess he was better than the others. Hard to say.
Lee – Black jacket and tie over untucked white shirt with Converse athletic shoes. Judges pretty much called it the best of the night, which I’ll agree with. But that ain’t sayin’ much. That’s Life and that’s the pain of AI Season 9.
Siobhan’s exit last week was unexpected but not undeserved. At the beginning of the season there was a lot of talk that the girls were better than the guys, so it’s surprising to see that there is only one girl in the top five. Won’t be a surprise if she wins.
Sports fans: Sorry about your week – and it’s only Tuesday. Wings down 3-0 in the series with the Sharks. That sucks. And RIP Ernie Harwell.
Oh… and the stock market took a hit today. Seriously, is there ANY good news out there?
WAIT – Anyone see House this week? Great episode. Writers deserve an Emmy for some great dialogue. Maybe I’ll watch it again because everything else SUCKS this week.
Sorry to be a downer. I’m sure my mood will turn when I hit that Mega Millions jackpot.
BUCK UP CAMPERS. Next week will be better??

I stopped watching about two weeks ago (but still read your blog). I’m not sure I have any clever suggestions about what show you can blog about next – but American Idol has run it’s course; your blog is the best thing about AI now (and was pretty much the best part of the whole season). Next week will be better???? Where’s the optimism? The REST of this week will be better (repeat it… repeat it… repeat it)
