American Idol... Who will win?

The season finale is tonight. And we are done to two great performers and singers.

Will it be... Seattle's beatboxer Blake Lewis? Or the young and elegant Jordin Sparks?

My vote is for Jordin Sparks. She can actually SING. Though props to Blake because he is an excellent performer and I love his beatboxing. I will make a new post as soon as the winner is announced... tonight! I can't wait!

Season Finales

It can't be avoided and everyone knows it's coming... summer. That means that all of the current shows are coming to their closing finales and closing the books. Most will return in the fall.

Last night, "Thank God You're Here" ended with a great show. If you've never seen it, you missed out! It is a improvisational type show, and very funny.

Also, American Idol is coming to its season finale next week. The fabulous Melinda Doolittle was voted off last night. Next week, the battle is between Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis. It will be a close one. Both of them are good and very diverse singers.

Tonight many hit TV shows will end for the season. Ugly Betty at 8, and Grey's Anatomy on ABC at 9 o clock.

Note that, these are my favorite TV shows and didn't go and look up ALL tv shows that are ending tonight.

The problem with all of these shows ending is that there is never good on during the summer. But, there might be one TV show. Last Comic Standing, a television show seeking the best comedian out there, returns with a new host,a dn new comedy. Can't wait for that show!

Roll N Grow

"You hoe and you rake. You shovel and you ache. And for what? Flowers that might not bloom? Forget all that work!"

I saw this commercial on GSN the other day and laughed my ass off! It's a commercial for a product called "Roll N Grow". It really is surprising how lazy and careless we are these days.

Roll N Grow is basically a carpet looking thing, and you roll it on the ground where ever you want, water it, and tons of flowers will grow.

What I found interesting was they made it seem like gardening is a thing of the past, and that it is a really laborious work. "And for what? Flowers that might not bloom?"

How lazy is it to have a nice fake garden? I mean, it's pathetic. The whole point of having flowers is to not only make your lawn look nice but to show your beautiful work. Call it cheesy, but it's the damn truth. It would be like growing potatoes and corn by just laying out a carpet on a patch of dirt. And boom! Instant veggies!

"You can spend HOURS and HOURS digging and hoeing and planting tiny seeds ONE by ONE."

Ohh! The pain! The suffering that humans must do every day of our lives! How inhumane it is to have to plant seeds ONE by ONE and spend whole entire HOURS planting? It is just unbelievable right?

Is this not one of the laziest commercials you have seen? It's ridiculous.
I couldn't fine the video on youtube but it is on the homepage of their website: www.rollngrow.com.

You know, some things are just meant to be done by hand.

Simon Cowell gave an IDOL a KISS??

Yep, it's true. Last night on American Idol was a surprising event. After Lakisha Jones nailed Bon Jovi's "This Ain't a Love Song", Simon commented, "I could kiss you after that." And Ryan Seacrest takes Lakisha down to the judges table, and Simon gives her a big smooch on the lips! I could not believe it! I was laughing like crazy. He had shiny lip gloss on his mouth afterwards, and he said she had nice lips.

On another note, Idol Gives Back charity event raised over $70 million dollars! That should be plenty to make a big impact. Hopefully, they will do it again next year.

Two American Idols get voted off tonight, and Bon Jovi performs live.

Idol Gives Back

American Idol's Idol Gives Back was a huge success. It was last night from 8 to 10 eastern time. Guest appearances included Ellen Degeneres, who hosted the music performances part at Disney Studios, Jack Black, Earth Wind & Fire, Kelly Clarkson, and many others. Ben Stiller also made an appearance through the big screen, I guess he was somewhere else.

There was also an exclusive performance by Cher and Elvis Presley. Yes, it was the real him. They took a video recording of him doing a song and made it look like him and Cher sung next to each other. Okay, yes if you didn't watch it you probably are like... wtf? But, it wasn't that bad. It looked as real as it gets. They even did side and back shots and so it looked like he was actually there. It was actually really cool! You can download it exclusively on iTunes. Here is the video on YouTube, though it is REALLY bad quality, you get the idea. You should buy it on iTunes to see it with good quality, all proceeds go to the 'Idol Gives Back' funding thing.



Note: If you cannot view the video, it's because it was deleted. You can search YouTube for "Idol Gives Back Celine" and you will probably get some results. But, I would advise buying it on iTunes to help support the Idol Gives Back charity.

What I found to be sketchy though, was the amount of commercials there was on the show. Every 10 minutes there was a set of commercials. For being such a huge charitable event, you would expect to see more of the show I though. But, they are very clever. Put on a huge show that is going to get even non-Idol watchers, plus the returning fans that refused to watch it because of Sanjaya, and you are going to be making money too. That was there plan, and I think it worked.

But, that isn't the main point. The main point is they probably raised a couple million dollars that will help poverty in both America and Africa. Which is good. I would have donated if I had any money. My dad did though. They are going to reveal the results next week I think.

As for elimination, they surprised just about everyone. The last two standing was Jordin Sparks and Chris Richardson, and then Ryan Seacrest told Chris that he was safe. I almost threw something at the TV. But, then Ryan turned it around and said that Jordin was safe as well. I was confused, and he said no one would be eliminated tonight.

They showed a lot of clips from Africa and it was sad. I cried a little bit. It was really overwhelming and real. I wasn't expecting such terrible stories and images. But, it was the truth.

The show was great though. Hopefully they will do one next year. I enjoyed it.

Buh-Bya Sanjaya

Yes, it's true. The infamous American Idol finalist Sanjaya was sent home tonight! Finally, is all I have to say. This idiot was on Idol for far too long, thanks to many immature people. American Idol is a singing contest, and that's all there is to it. In the end, that is all that really matters.
As for Lakisha, who is one of my favorites, representing Maryland, one bad night and she is in the bottom three. I thought Chris Richardson would have been down there.
As soon as I heard Ryan Seacrest announce that Sanjaya would be going home, I was so relieved! Thank goodness! I am happy now. As for who is going to win: It will be a girl. Either Melinda or Jordin. Girl power!
