Greetings Idol Fans!

Ryan starts the show with some riveting conversation with the judges. And by riveting I really mean comatose. Ryan makes fun of the weird TV antenna hand gesture Simon does. Everyone gets a chuckle and a shot from a defibrillator just to wake them back up.

Oh goodie…it’s Idol ensemble time!! OK I think even the producers knew how bad it was going to be. I think they actually kept forgetting to turn the mikes on when the little darlings had their one stanza solos. And to top it off then even cut them off early at the end of the song. Hilarious.

One of the guys will be the first to go tonight. Ryan goes through the rewind reel. Of course you don’t need it, because you read my blog. Anyway, lights are dimmed and Ryan makes the back row of Jason Y, Danny, Chikezie, Jason C and Michael stand up. My spidey-senses tell me the first guy at the end of the row near the steps is there for a reason. So Ryan pardons Michael, Chikezie and Jason and leaves Danny and Jason Y near the stairs to hear their fates. Sure enough the skunked striped Jason is the next to be cast back in anonymity.

After the break, the girls are sitting pretty on the couch. Ryan again goes through the rewind reel. And of course, again, you don’t need it, because you read my blog. Ryan pulls the same back row schtick with Kristy, Amanda, Alexandrea, Brooke and Asia’h. Kristy, Asia’h and Brooke are safe…uh DUH. So the 2 girls that I called to go are left standing, which means that I’m only going to be 1 for 2 on the girls tonight… dang it. Anyhoo, Alexandrea is the next to leave us. See, no one ever likes a Chicago song.

The girls are still on the couch, and it’s the front row’s turn at the guillotine. One by one, Carly, Remiele and Syesha are safe. This leaves Romy and Michele, er, I mean, Alaina and Kady to face the music. OMG I didn’t realize how interchangeable they were! Right down to the codfish personalities. Well American made up their mind and picked Alaina to go home. She bawls on national television, visibly shocked that for the first time in her life, she didn’t get what she wanted just by looking cute. Boo Hoo.  Her stage mom looked really miffed too.  I love it.

Idol News….. <insert typewriter sound here> Big news people!! Because the Top 12 will be the best Top 12 ever (because Ryan says so) on March 11, American Idol will reveal a brand new stage, new opening graphics and a new exit song by Idol’s own Reuben Studdard. Oh and Idol Gives Back is back on 4/9. It raised $79 million last year. Props to Idol for actually doing some good with it’s sensationalism. But it gets better. After 6 years of begging, Idol producers finally have the rights to the Beatles songbook. I find that a bit scary… do I really need to hear Danny Noriega butcher “Can’t Buy Me Love?”

OK, we’re running out of time people! We have no time for drawn-out pseudo anticipation! We need Luke and Robbie center-stage! Wham, Robbie’s going home. Guess other people in America never really believed the whole rocker thing either.

So that’s it people. Obscurity is a dish best served in plates of 4 and tonight we passed out 4 heaping steaming piles of it.

Next week 4 more go!

Peace, Love & Good Song Choice,
Kristi

Greetings Idol Fans!

Shake your groove thing people, it’s 70’s night for the ladies. Yep, it’s one more night of the polyester decade. We’ll do our best to stay away from the Disco, just in case they whip out “Disco Night” later in the competition. And lets face it… the longer we hold out for funkytown music in the season, the kookier and drunker Paula will dance.

Carly Smithson likes her tats, putting little shamrocks in the foam in her Guinness at her Irish pub job, and being Suzy Homemaker. She could also be a long lost sister of Nancy and Ann Wilson. She belts out the Heart song “Crazy on You” and proves what it means to be a professional amateur. Hey I’m just glad she finally got rid of that frickin’ yellow eyeshadow.

Syesha Mercado likes her acting career and her baby cry impersonation. So that’s good, if this whole music thing doesn’t work out, she’s got a career as a diaper voiceover. She attempts to be sultry on “Me and Mrs, er Mr. Jones.” The original song implies something steamy and exciting but her version wasn’t very steamy… just sort of damp.

Brooke White likes to do hair. In fact, she used to be in Beauty School. Which is ironically perfect since her reel leads in to her cover of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain.” She was folky, funky, and every week coming more and more out of her shell. No Frankie Avalon “Beauty School Drop Out” needed here.

Remiele Malubay likes to hula and shake her Polynesian groove thang. She does on her cover of Evelyn Champagne King’s “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” Unfortunately, this just come across as a 2AM karaoke round. I don’t think anyone will be leaving this little Rock-a-Hula Baby anytime soon but she needs to step it up next week.

Kristy Lee Cook likes being a tomboy and willingly shows herself in a full-on camo jumpsuit. Ok, there’s s difference between All American and All American Uni-bomber. Anyway, she squat-rocks her way through “You’re No Good” by Linda Ronstadt. Unfortunately, I don’t think she’s as good as she thinks she is.

Amanda Overmyer likes to read. She a kooky mix of juxtapositions, no? Rocker that read, Nurse that rides a Harley. Ain’t America grand!?!? I do not know what is up with her look tonight. Her hair looks like a cross between Rogue from X-Men and Lion-O from Thundercats. She looks very uncomfortable as she takes the stage with the Kansas hit “Carry On My Wayward Son.” Unfortunately, the song is even more all over the place then her look.

Alaina Whitaker doesn’t like her food to touch on her plates. Yet another riveting facet to her 2 dimensional personality. Sporting her best Carrie Underwood look-a-like hair, make-up and outfit she yells her best rendition of “Hopelessly Devoted” by Olivia Newton John. Unfortunately she forgot one important piece to her Carrie ensemb’… talent.

Alexandrea Lushington loves her local fire department. We all should. Firefighters are awesome. Mad props to America’s bravest. ALush covers Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now” with a palpable awkardness. It’s almost as if the song was handed to her to sing. I’m sorry, is she competing on a national singing show or getting ready to hike through Yellowstone? The whole outfit screamed LL Bean Spring/Summer Catalog.

Kady Malloy likes to sing Britney, Cher and… opera? She’s a Soprano… and not the HBO kind. Notfanuttin, She covers Heart’s “Magic Man” but it sort of get stuck in her throat. I think the notes got caught in there with her personality. Someone needs to make sure this girl has a pulse.

Asia’h Epperson likes her pompoms. No not those pom-poms. She actually like to cheer. I bet she actually has used the term “Cheerocracy.” Ok so I figured it would come out somewhere, but I called it on guys night… “All By Myself” by Eric Carmen. Yep, it’s here but better yet.. it’s the Celine Dion version. But Asia’h gives it all she’s got and pulls out a performance worth of a Rah-Rah-Rah.

I think we’ll see Amanda and Alexandrea swansongs tomorrow night, but Alaina or Kady may see themselves the recipients of low vote counts.

Well that’s another decade and another week of performance down. We got rockafied, funkafied, folkafied and thankfully we made with through, eardrums intact.

Tune in to see who goes home tomorrow night!!

Peace, Love & AM Gold,
Kristi

Greetings Idol Fans!

It’s Axe Time People!! Woo Hoo. Finally the chance to see all our speed dial training put to good use. I have to say, I’m very excited.

But first a cheesy reel that looks like a promo for Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The Hills, Laguna Beach, blah blah blah. Is this a singing show or MTV teen crap?

Wait… OMG… could it be… I see Idols lining up… I hear an intro… I think it is… IT IS! IT IS!! It’s the first ensemble performance of the season!!! And Oh My God, is it terrible. Seriously it was like a clip from “When Six Flags Performances Attack.”

After the 4 minute commercial break to recover from the group performance, the guys are up first on the chopping block. We do the necessary rewind of the show highlights (although if Ryan read my blog, he wouldn’t need the reel)

Ryan makes it seem random, and calls Garrett Haley up on stage with him. He asks him a couple of questions and then WHAM!!! Axe falls. Garrett is leaving. He’s sings his song again. That was quick. No time for nice. There are commercials to be aired.

After the break it’s the ladies turn. Ryan chats with sweet little Kristy Lee Cook, but she can rest her sweet head, she’s safe. It’s Amy Davis who takes the first one for the girls. She performs her song again and proves why she’s going home.

Well, we’ve smashed the dreams of two young hopefuls so now is the perfect time to inflate the ego’s of a couple of old timers. It’s the debut of feature Randy. It’s got a beat, I can dance to it, I give it a 9. Well, I give the 10 synthesizers her vocals been filtered through a 9.

Amanda and Joanne are called to center-stage. Ryan says everyone on the couch is safe. We have to wait for the break to find out Joanne Borgella is the second lady leaving us tonight

One of the guys will be the last leaving the gang. Ryan calls Chicezie and Colton to center-stage. Ryan slips in an age dig at Simon before telling Colton that he’s the final Idol going home tonight.

So that’s week 1 and we’re down to 20. I’ve gotta throw props to the first 4 to go. That’s the toughest place to be. To get through all the crowds, fight the hundreds for attention during Hollywood week, make it up and down the elevator in one piece just to come back for one week before having your hopes dashed. The only consolation we can offer you, sweet Garrett, pretty Amy, stunning Joanne, bashful Colton… is that obscurity will come swift, painless and easy. Last one out, shut the lights off when you go.

Peace, Love and Video Debuts,
Kristi

Greetings Idol Fans!

We made it! After hours and hours of delusional auditions, Coke product placements and trailers for “Jumper,” the Auditions are finally over. It’s Top 24, and time for you and I to control the fates of 24 Idol hopefuls. Over the next 3 weeks, we get to decide which 12 dreams are one step closer to realization and which 6 guys and 6 girls dreams are over. It’s good to be the judge.

Seacrest Fashion Fix: I don’t know about you, but GEE do I miss Ryan’s Highlights. Boring brown just doesn’t cut it. Beside, I don’t have anything to make fun of.

Speaking of Ryan, he AGAIN, reminds us this is the Best Talent Ever. I guess they just want us to realize that there’s no chance of a Sanjaya incident this year.

Tonight it’s guys up first with 60’s night. What a great choice. This is the first night these kids are going to be live on TV and you make them sing songs that were recorded at least 25 years before they were even born!?!?!!?

Apple finally got their hands on the Idol machine, you can download tonights performances on iTunes for 99 cents a pop.

David Hernandez

Gives us a sappy story about being raised by a single parent, and how singing is his escape. He starts the show with “Midnight Hour.” He had me at first with the slow and gospelly opening but then lost me when he jazzed it up.

Chikezie

In preparation for anticipated stardom, he dropped his last name. Looking like a dapper 70’s velveteen pumpkin pimp, he croons away on ” I Love You More.” He seems nervous at first, but works out the kinks. Simon calls him Jacuzzi which I think is hilarious.

David Cook

The dude got a really bad hair cut, but it’s all to hide a really bad receding hairline. He starts “Happy Together” out kind of creepy and stalker-ish, but by the end he screams his way to a decent rock version.

Jason Yeager

Is it me or is he the victim of a drive by dye job on his bangs? What’s with the one blonde piece? Anyhoo, he chooses a slow song… “Moon River.” It’s so “Performances nightly at Mohegan Sun.” Seriously, if he keeps this up, he’ll be the Idol of many a Senior Center.

Robbie Carrico

Former boy-bander who wants to leave his soul on stage for the audience to see…as long as all they see is rock star. So he goes with the Three Dog Night song “One.” He does his best Daughtry impression and Randy and Paula buy it. Simon is still not sure if there’s a Justin Timberlake lurking somewhere under all that hair and scruff.

David Archuleta

The bashful, unassuming former StarSearch contestant gives stardom another try with “Shop Around.” I feel like I’m watching a recital at a performing arts high school. The judges the love him, but I think either the producers told them to love it or they didn’t want to say anything negative to make the poor boy cry.

Danny Noriega

The little mop-topped pixie in his Old Navy skinny jeans takes on the King and “Jailhouse Rock.” Paula says he has many colors to his voice, but quite frankly, I think it’s more like if a rainbow threw up. It was a bad Chelsea Karaoke performance. But I think I said that more than a few times about Sanjaya and look how that turned out. Dang it….

Luke Menard

Carpet Cleaner who looks like a cross between Luke Perry and Orlando Bloom. He whimpers out a rendition of “Everybody’s Talkin.” Unfortunately, I think nerves got the best of him and no one will be talking about him after this week.

Colton Berry

Self-proclaimed Ellen DeGeneres look-alike. Another teenie bopper who takes on the King with “Suspicious Minds.” I don’t think he’s even old enough to know what this song is about. Does anyone know if Disney is casting for High School Musical 4 yet?

Garrett Haley

The little guy with the big 70’s hair. He’s got the art of mousse down, but someone needs to show the lad how to shave. What’s with the peach fuzz ’stache? He attempts to be soulful on Neil Sedaka’s “Breakin’ Up Is Hard To Do.” Unfortunately shaving isn’t the only grown up thing the tyke needs to learn. His performance is a little empty.

Jason Castro

The blue eyed, dread-head is the first Idol this season to bring his guitar on stage for his rendition of “Daydream.” He’s jovial, entertaining and fun. The only thing we’re missing is a hacky sack and a skate park.

Michael Johns

Aussie singer who used to be in a band until he left and stole their songs, uh so he’s a nice guy. Anyway, enough about that… (but you can see more here.) He channels the late great Jim Morrison on “Light My Fire” including cheezy flame graphic background. It’s good, it’s rockin’, it’s enough to get him through.

So I know you’re all dying to know who my picks are for who’s going home. I think Jason Yeager and Luke Menard maybe calling Continental for plane tickets home this week. I think they will both be the victims of not enough airtime during Hollywood week and pretty weak performance tonight. I could be wrong, but I’ll bet anything they’ll be in the bottom on Thursday.

Anyhoo, tomorrow night the ladies take center stage in hopes of winning your love. Tune in then!

Peace, Love and Grooviness,
Kristi

Greetings Idol Fans!

Did you know that this is the most talented American Idol season yet? I don’t know how anyone could have missed it since Ryan told us 7534 times tonight. Seriously, he said it so many times, if you made a shot game out of it, you’d be tanked by the first commercial break.

Idol Fashion Fix: Shoe comment — Did anyone else notice the 1 1/2 inch heels Simon was sporting on his boots? Can we say inadequacies? I bet he drives a really big Hummer too.

Anyway, they changed format this year. Gone are the painful 3 and 4 member singing/late night bickering teams of yesteryear. This year it’s every Idol for themselves. The first two days, all the hopefuls get a shot to impress the judges without the worry of a cut. The ones who wow the baby Gap t-shirts off Simon and the other 2 get a free pass right through to the final rounds. The others must sing a capella for their musical lives for on Day 3, the guillotine starts it ugly morbid descent. The final 50 who have managed to avoid the proverbial axe, have one more shot with the judges.

Here are the MOST TALENTED 24:

Oh wait…. we have to wait until tomorrow night for that.

Peace, Love & Perfect Pitch,
Kristi

Greeting Idol Fans -

Knowing how much we all love those wacky auditions, the minds of American Idol would not let us live with just seven episodes. No, they mustered all the footage they could from the hours and hours they had, to bring us and the paying advertisers just one more audition show. This time it’s a “Best Of.” We go the way of many a TV series and reminisce about the ups, the downs, the funny, the sad… thankfully, all with out the use of a single flashback…

Best Moments

Cardin McKinney
She’s a fondue restaurant waitress but there’s no cheese here. She blasts “One Night Only” and proves she could be a Dream Girl.

Joanne Borgella
Joanna is a lovely plus sized model who’s performed the national anthem at MSG. She’s got the pipes to shake the rafters there. But it’s no surprise. She’s been identified by Vote For The Worst as a “plant.” Still she’s likable and talented so we should see her make the the top 24.

Chikezie Eze
Nice guy who tried out last year and didn’t make it. He said Randy wasn’t “feelin’ him.” Well he should be feeling him now. The guy’s got major pipes.

The Reason We Really Watch Moments

Tiffany Campbell
Tiffany says her voice is a gift from God. Oh Good Lord, please take it back.

Ashley Lawing
Pretty little southern girl who has obviously perfected the art of using her looks. She sings a Kellie Pickler song and it becomes painfully obvious that there is no amount of lipgloss that can make her talented.

Alicia Stelzel
She’s an easy-going dimwitted blonde who shrieks through a song. Simon haters her, but Randy and Paula tell her to go learn a Dolly Parton song. The girl gullibly complies and learns “Islands In The Stream.” She warbles through it sort of dumbfounded, as am I since she makes it through.

Well we’re through phase 1 of our quest for Idoldom. We’re on to Hollywood next week for the grueling group work, the late nights, and the One Tree Hill like story lines.

Peace, Love & Good Highlights Reels,
Kristi

Bienvenido a Miami Idol Fans!!!

American Idol invades the land of sun, sand, and the best dang Cuban cigars this side of Havana. As anticipated (since it makes such good TV,) they grow them crazy in the Florida sun. Yeah you haven’t heard music this bad since the Miami Vice Soundtrack… uh, not that I own that CD or anything… Anyhoo, a whole 17 hopefuls make it to LA.

Best Moments
Suzanne Toon

Single Mom with Shirley Temple curls anda sultry voice. She gravels her way through a Bonnie Raitt song and right to Hollywood.

Syesha Mercado

The singer/actress (read waitress) is the happiest girl on earth. Her dad just got out of rehab, she’s a hottie, and the girl can sang. Blather believes she’s probably one of the best of the season…. no wonder she’s so perky.

Remiele Maluby

Four words… tiny body, big voice.

“The Reason We Really Watch” Moments

Corliss Smith and Britney Wescott

Big sassy girls with big jazzy voice. The 2 friends proclaim their love for Simon and Randy. They hug Simon and give him more woman than he can obviously handle. I love that Cowell is scared of fat chicks.

Shannon McGough

This colorful sprite works in her parents meat market grinding hamburger. She screams through a Janis Joplin tune without any semblance of talent similar to the great songtress. She’s shocked that she can’t sing. I’m not. Her whole “shtick” was grinding on my nerves.

Julie Dubela

Four years ago, she was on American Juniors… a show created specifically for Stage parents to live vicariously through their semi talented, voice coached prepubescent spawn. Thank god that’s over. She has a nice voice but the over confident, over-singing, over-dramatic, over-indulgent attitude just makes you hate her more than her ugly crocheted dress.

Brandon Black

“B” storms into the room with a comedy routine so bad, it could make Open Mic Night illegal. He thinks he’s funny, points to god and than breaks into song. It’s so bad. If Prince and Urkel had one drunken night together and then dropped the baby on it’s head… here’s what you’d get.

And that’s Miami! Would Gloria Estefan be proud… probably not. But hey, it’s better than Don Johnson’s CD any day.

Peace, Love & Rhythm,

Kristi

There are a lot of talented cities in these United States. New York produces many a Broadway star, LA is the mecca for young stars, Chicago has been the launch pad for some of the best comedic talent around. Heck, even Orlando and the mouse have created a small world of talented kids. But Omaha, Nebraska?? Sure they’re the home of mail order steaks, corn, and mutual insurance, but the next American Idol??? Luckily I like steak, corn and life insurance so I’ll give the huskers a chance…

Best Moments

Ryan and Simon exchange banter and Ryan takes Paula’s place as a judge. Ryan’s best line so far this season, “Ok how do I act like I’m overpaid for doing nothing.”

Samantha Sidley

While Ryan and Simon were man-flirting, she channels her best Nora Jones right down to the same key. She’s got a smooth voice that gets her 4 judges votes and through to Hollywood.

Angelica Puente

She’s a 17 year old who can’t get along with her dad and moved out of her parents house. She needs something to make her dad proud. He should be proud of her voice. She sings Celine Dion’s Power of Love well enough to make any father beam.

Leo Marlowe

A self proclaimed “homecoming queen” pulls out a surprisingly soulful rendition of Donnie Hathaway’s “A Song For You.” He’s bluesy even sultry and enough to get our first Paula “Touchdown” of season.

“The Reason We Really Watch” Moments
Sarah Whitaker

She’s a former (self proclaimed) pro-wrestler who went by the name “Lady Morgue.” She does a really creepy witches cackle and scares the muscial scales right out of all the other contestants. Her performance is no better. She get a no from Randy and Simon. Paula squeaks out a “yes” which I can only believe is due to a mortal fear that Lady Morgue will attack her.

Johnny Escamilla

He says he’s the weirdest guy you’ll ever meet. The sparkley gold sequin jacket confirms it for me. He compares himself to James Brown. I compare him to a chemical imbalance in a jar of glitter.

All and all, 19 are given a gold ticket and are on their way from the flatest state in the country to the land of silicon mountains. Tomorrow night we head down to Miami to see if the Florida heat brings out the talented or just heat stroke.

Peace, Love and an emphatic Yee-Haw!
Kristi

If you’ve been an avid fan of the past 6 seasons, you know American Idol loves the South. The South has always been good to the Idol Machine. The states south of the Mason-Dixon Line have produced the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Fantasia, Diana DeGarmo, Chris Daughtry and Taylor Hicks (although that hasn’t turned out very well…see here) Even so, with that kind of lineage; Charleston is bound to bring out the best… uh… right? Well, not exactly. The South may rise again… but it’s definitely not thanks to any rising stars in this audition.

Best Moments (Not that there’s a lot to choose from tonight)

London Wynberg

She’s the blonde who takes on the great Billie Holiday. Granted, she’s got a smoky tone but so do a thousand lounge singers in the Lower East Side. But she’s hot, so Simon will put her through.

“The Reason We Really Watch” Moments

Raysharde Henderson

He sports the best Fro of Season 7. He says he’s the Black Clay Aiken…and I’d say there’s a million “Claymates” out there that beg to differ.

DeAnna Prevatte

She’s a crazy Hillbilly waitress from Kellie Pickler’s hometown. Unfortunately, geographic proximity does not an Idol make. She does an angry rendition of “Fancy” and is graciously turned down by the judges. Not because they like her, but because they were probably afraid of meeting her in the hotel stairway later that night.

Lindsey Goodman

As the daughter of an Air Force “Flyboy,” I’ve got to give some patriotic props to the tiny girl who pilots a C-17, one of the largest planes in the AF. Her voice isn’t has big as the plane she flies, but still, you gotta salute her

Aretha Codner

Being named after one of the greatest soul singers certainly sets some serious expectations. However, after opening her mouth, all expectations are decidedly erased. I’m not sure what’s bigger, her ego or her boobs! It was definitely not her talent. She disagrees, but don’t all the most delusion crazies??

Well 23 in total make it through tonight, all I don’t know how they were even able to find that many. Maybe next week we’ll find more kooky contestants to make fun of.

Peace, Love and Some Semblance of Talent,
Kristi

American Idol sends the freak caravan of Simon, Paula and Randy down to America’s Finest City, San Diego. We love the Chargers (even though they lost) we love the zoo, and we love the crazies!!! We only have an hour tonight so the Idol producers are careful not to waste any of it on real talent. In the end, miraculously, 30 hopefuls make it through.

Best Moments

Carly Smithson

She’s an Irish tattoo artist who got booted in season 5 for not having a valid Visa. She blasts I’m Every Woman to the rafters. But don’t be too stunned by this seemingly undiscovered Irish lass. She’s one of the infamous “plants” of former discovered talent that everyone’s been talking about. She actually had an album… and it sold a whopping 300 copies.

Michael Johns
An Aussie hunk with soul whips out some Otis Redding and scores a place in Hollywood. Girls will love the dreamy accent, and guys will want to be him just so they can say, “Shrimp on the Barbie” and not seem lame.

“The Reason We Really Watch Idol” Moments

Valerie Reyes

She thinks she’s Mariah…but she’s really more Pariah. She does some scary vocal acrobatics, some guttural notes, and then flares into a noise I think only dogs can really understand. The best part…she can’t believe that she’s going to be on the rejects reel. WE CAN!

Monique Gibson
The nurse who does her best impression of Whitney Houston…if she was swallowed by a goat with a bad weave. I need some earplugs, STAT!

Christopher Baker

He follows his friend with his own interpretation of Whitney’s “Greatest Love of All.” He really yelled through it more than he actually sang any notes. You have the love the guys’ tenacity. He keeps trying different Whitney songs until the bouncers have to walk him out. Classic crazie!!

Blake Boshnak
Speaking of tenacity (and crazy,) this guy does not believe in giving up. He’s auditioned 11 times in 10 cities since season 3 and never made it. You might remember him from Season 5 as the Statue of Liberty… although you might not. Thankfully today is no different.

Alberto Hurtado

C-R-E-E-P-Y in an Age of Aquarius meets Priscilla Queen of the Desert sort of way. He sings his own piece about tragedy and flying and more tragedy… evidently he’s heard himself sing. Not sure if he belongs in a commune or an institution. Anyhoo, the best part about his audition – the eagle on acid montage at the end.

San Diego has so far proven quite entertaining, and so disturbing all at the same time. But then again, that’s what makes for some dang fine television entertainment.

Tune in tomorrow night, Idol fans as we go for Round 2 of the American Idol Audition Freak Show.

Peace, Love and Tonality,

Kristi
