Delayed Gloating
Ok, ok… so this is a little late. I’ve been busy. And, frankly, I didn’t care that much. But I do owe a few people a little something I like to call:
I TOLD YOU SO

I TOLD YOU SO
I know several of you missed this week’s performances because you opted to watch something more important – Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals: Wings vs. Blackhawks. I (of course) sacrificed for my fans and watched American Idol even though it’s somewhat pointless since we already know who will win. Ryan pretty much let it slip last week.
Weeks ago I predicted that these three would be the last ones in the race. Last week I experienced a pinch of wishful thinking and hoped that Danny would go before Allison, but I knew it was pretty close to call. So it’s no surprise that we are left with a sausagefest. Even that great duet with Adam couldn’t save Allison.
Matt’s departure last week was not unexpected, but I’ll admit that even I was surprised to see Adam standing next to him in the final moments. Rumors abound on the internet (and even among some of my readers) that the show is rigged. That the winner has been pre-determined and that Adam was purposely staged to be in the bottom two for shock value. Me thinks not. ADAM IS GOING DOWN.
Few of us were surprised to see Lil and Anoop go home next week, but I was bewildered that Matt wasn’t even in the bottom three. After being saved from elimination the previous week when he shouldn’t have been he somehow dodged another bullet. Can he do it again? We’ll see in a few short hours.
I called the bottom two last week but slanted the wrong way on my prediction for whom would get the boot. So the ending wasn’t too much of a surprise… until the judges invoked the “save.”
I have to pat myself on the back. I totally called the departures for the last three weeks. Michael (finally), then Megan (caw caw), and last week it was Scott. Let’s see if I can keep it up.
I don’t think it was a surprise to anyone that Megan went home last week. In fact I know a few people who were probably cheering in their living rooms and at least one who was clapping her hands loudly above her head. How cute that she picked up one of her husband’s annoying habits.
FINALLY… a week without Michael the oil rigger. So we got THAT going for us.
I know I’m not alone when I say that I still can’t believe Alexis is gone. Admittedly, she made a terrible song choice last week and maybe she deserved to be in the bottom three. But gone? It just seems too early to be sending her back to the trailer park.
Country star Randy Travis coached the Idols this week. Fortunately there wasn’t too much twang even though it was country week. (You knowz I’m not a big fan of tha twang.)
Nobody wore one sequined glove and I didn’t catch anyone grabbing their crotch. I also didn’t see any performances worthy of a future king or queen of pop. Don’t get me wrong, there were a couple good ones. But nobody does Michael like Michael.
After last week’s Wildcard show I was hoping to get out a bonus blog post about my thoughts regarding the wildcard performances and the judges’ choices. Since the results were announced during the actual show I was in no hurry to have it out the next day. Then the weekend was crazy busy with work. Then I just didn’t care.
I’ve totally called 5 of the first 6 contestants moving on to the top 12. And that oil rigger guy… I still don’t get that one.
Today (2/25) I celebrated my 44th birthday. Just over a month ago President Obama was inaugurated as our 44th president. Coincidence? Yea… pretty much.
Time to take a step back from the serious topics of the day to blog about something completely unimportant. American Idol.
