Did a Bulgarian do it? Did they steal your bulgar?

It's bad when you're trying to be all Haley Williams and your mom is going all Dina Lohan on camera. I'm watching for her to screan out "SING OUT LOUISE!!!" while she's singing (Maybe she can be JENA!$*#& ROSE IRENE LOUISE as her stage persona) I can't understand the pronunciation deal. I noticed on one song much earlier she was "O-ver-pro-noun-ce-ating". I was wondering if she had a hearing loss as a kid (one of my kids had one when she was younger and she sounded like she had a Hungarian accent when she started talking which eventually disappeared when she got older)

I saw this on another now defunct website years ago (I think it was Vote for The Worst). Now as an over 50-ish heavy set woman, I think it's pretty hilarious (since I don't wear sparkles). But that was the year my co-worker (in her 60s) got all her friends to dress up in hand decorated hand made sparkly Adam Lambert T-shirts (they copied his face on the T-shirts) to wear to one of his concerts. (she didn't know about the sparkle cow comments and I certainly didn't tell her). I think there was some other term having to do with Frauleins that is escaping me (from the Clay Aiken period). But I've seen WFKASCs (Women Formerly Known as Sparkle Cows) at all kinds of concerts, not just AI alumni ones.

Thanks for posting that link Ari333- interesting take by the writer (part of which was WRONG - I guess the writer was not a fan of Caleb but was wrong about his intentions - nothing like reading the tea leaves lol. The twist was just dumb, plain and simple. I think it makes for bad blood IMHO because people were second guessing who voted which way (sometimes right, sometimes wrong, depends on their motivation) Kinda like years ago when they made two groups of the contestants, one that was the bottom and one that was the top - and asked one of the contestants to pick the group they wanted to be in - (I'm having a brain fart tonight, can't remember who it was but it was a long while ago, maybe Taylor Hicks?) and the person sat in between the groups.

I swear you people are going to have to pay for me to see the ENT doctor because of all the Diet Coke spewing out of my nose! As for Adam Lambert - I vaguely remember some kind of minor kerfuffle about the sparkle cows back during that time - some comment he made that was overheard (It was many moons ago and social media is light years ahead at this point). Adam hasn't been a massive arena-filling star but he has made a pretty good living for himself (he just got done with a recurring guest role on Glee but ironically Amber Riley - Mercedes on Glee - didn't make it past the producers on Idol). And if we're talking auditions? Remember William Hung? or The Major ("pants on the ground" dude)? Or the old guy singing "I am your brooooother!"? Whatever happens, whether he's planning his own artistic demise or spoke unwisely off-the-cuff (fueled by the anger of having to sing that damn Aerosmith song which apparently seriously pissed him off - of course no excuse for the R word) will be interesting. There's been debacles starting WAY back in the Clay vs Ruben season (apparently a wide collection of Sparkle Cows were enraged because they feel something was wrong with the phone system) and continuing through the years. I guess this season will be no different.

While I agree that using the "R" word is offensive and he shouldn't have used it. . I honestly don't think the rest of the interview was that bad. ***dodges flying shoes*** He did sound as if he was very annoyed at the fans and that's obviously not good, but do you ever read what people put on some of those fan blogs? Some of them are really obnoxious and delusional. I haven't seen his page, but I've seen things that people post on other celeb's boards and some of it's really crazy. Caleb does need some training and guidance when dealing with the public. I guess AI doesn't assist the contestants in that kind of thing. But I agree with a lot of what Joystickenvy wrote. -

Or when people "conversate". Or when they have a verbal discussion - what, you can't have a physical discussion or a mental one where you just think and the other person reads your mind?

Heard over and over again - "Due to the fact that. . . " as in "I didn't have insurance due to the fact that I had to buy my baby mama a new phone" - Hello, people, just use the word "BECAUSE". (and the Grammar Nazi says get off my lawn due to the fact that you are using bad English)

I think I peed myself! I think Jessica is a sweet girl and sings well. If it was about her story, I would think she paid her dues many times over. I still remember her tearing up because the other contestants didn't seem to realize how hard it is for her to make a living being a singer. But again she has the zombie eyes and can't seem to dance alone in her room alone so how will she sell records?!?! Caleb is confident and borders on arrogant so he gets a bad rap. And he's too good too soon which mean nobody likes a GOOD singer, they want a crappy singer that gets better and better. It's all about the redemption arc (see Lee DeWyze and "The Boxer") I won't even go into JEENAA!&*$#@% 's history, aka The Second Coming of Demi Lovato (dang, even Demi has to share her name with another famous Demi! !!HONDS OPP!) And Alex wears Duckie clothes and does the pee pee dance a little too often. Plus he sang that "Every Breath You Take" song and sounded all stalkery and scared all the teenies that watch the show but then again it's all deep and emo and he probably writes in his diary at night by the light of one single lightbulb. So who's going to end up the winner? Who has pissed off the public the least?

We call that giving somebody "the Gillooly" (after Tonya Harding's supposed bodyguard with that last name whacked Nancy K in the shin). Hopefully they won't give Jessica the Gillooly treatment next week because after that, who will be next in their sights? Alex? JEEHHHHHANNNN!&*@#? Or perhaps they will glue Caleb's mike stand to the floor. The sad thing is that Jessica can sing quite well - she just doesn't have that shiny happy peppy appearance of the "preferred" Idol performer. Same thing with Sam. He SOUNDED great - he just wasn't comfortable with all the craziness. And Jessica had her dead eye look.

OMG it was the love child of GIlligan and Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory! I honestly didn't know guys that ironed their hair into a bowl haircut really existed in real life. I was trying to figure out what the plaintiff saw in that guy. I couldn't figure out why Gold Belt had been walking around for a couple of months with a ruptured eardrum - I thought maybe he cuffed her in the ear and it popped but he yelled at her? Really? Tell that to all the rock singers over the years. This has definitely been the week of Questionable Mom Choices. We've got Deranged Pregnant Cougar Mom, we've had Broken Dishes Hysteria Mom and Long Term Coma with Missing Car Mom - (I think we had somebody that got sent to jail in between Mom). What ever happened to those old school Mom types that bake cookies and wear aprons instead of cooking meth and sleeping in cars with teens?

Happy Birfday Sarcastico! I'll be honored to co-sign for you but I really need a cell phone - can you put me on your plan? If you boughten me the phone I'll pay the bill as soon as I get my student loan reimbursement.

I really enjoyed nearly everybody during the round table last night except for the anointed JENA!NOTGINA!!*&$^? I particularly enjoyed Sam's semi-snarky response as she was asking him about missing his step and he gave her a snappy DUH-infused answer. Was it just my hopefulness or did the other contestants seem to respond to her with disdain? Like they are not buying into her fake-ass Disney-Channel shtick? Does anybody think the whole voting thing was just a ploy? LIke maybe it was scripted and it didn't matter if the contestants wrote "EIEIO" on the papers? And did it come off as mean spirited? And last night I finally realized who JENA!NOTGINA-"why-did-you-spell-it-that-way-MOOOOMMMMMM" reminds me of. . . . Anybody remember Rebecca Black of "Friday" fame (you can You tube it if you don't but I am not responsible for the invasion of any earworms from that song)

Was that the baker dude? God he was ungrateful. And everybody except the mother/bakery owner looked like a family of Gingerbread people or maybe a family of Pillsbury Dough-People (said in love cos I'm definitely more fluffy than the average bear myself). A little too much yeast sprinkled in the family tree. WTH was up with Sparkles? Isn't that a clown name? Or maybe a stripper name? A stripper clown name? I guess the rule of the road is to never drive with flashy rims and loud music when your passengers have warrants out for their arrest. Sparkles' BF also needed to return those glasses to the 80s pile.

I learned all I know about the other "Valerie" by watching Naya Rivera sing it on "Glee". Go on Itunes and listen to the sample of it in a quicker tempo and you'll get what the judges meant. And Naya blew it out of the friggin WATER! That's why it's hard to listen to JENA! NOT GINA! singing it also Michaelina Buble style. I don't see Caleb as arrogant. When I saw those old pictures of him, he seems to be the same kind of kid he has been his whole life-the one that liked the attention (I had a kid like that, used to do a little dance behind her older sister while I was talking to the sister, would make faces while I was talking to her - just had to be the center of attention). I see him as a bit of a pain in the a$$ but at least he has some talent to make up for it. I'm semi-afraid it's going to catch up to him like it did with Chris Daughtry (I can still see Chris' face in my mind when he got tossed on Idol all those years ago). HONDS UP! Pencils at the ready! It's going to be an interesting show tonight!

I mentioned this on the other thread -Randy is a bass player. How can he related to a solo singer? Does he even sing? It's like a drummer telling me how to play the trumpet.

She reminds me of a Bat Mitzvah or wedding singer at that point where they try and get everybody out of their chairs to dance the Electric Slide with their Grandmas/Bubbies. And dear LORD if she goes with JENA for her stage name I will have to stick a pencil in my neck. How very pretentious and assumptious. Perhaps she can put JENA!!#*&% on the smock she will wear while working at the local grocery store if she doesn't win. Jason Mraz was a great mentor. Raising the mike, opening up the arms or chest - genius. Which leads me to the question - why is Randy there? Randy's not a singer. It's not America's Best Substitute Bass Player for an 80s Rock Band. Alex's "Say Something" was beautiful. He's really come a long way in his performance aspect. So has Sam but I'm not sure it's enough to keep him in the game. Caleb was uncharacteristically flat on the beginning of the first song - perhaps he had been singing sharp in rehearsal and was trying to overcompensate. But the second half of "Don't Miss A Thing" was way better. And the Whitesnake song was just ridiculously good. I also like that he seems to be having such a good time. Doesn't look like he's going to throw up half the time like the rest of the contestants. I was checking AI and Harry's FB comments and most people are looking for a JENA (ugh on the name) vs Caleb top two. But I'd be happy with Alex vs Caleb as the top two.

Those guys were so sleazy and gross. It's a wonder he actually found somebody to tape sex with.

Like the new childrens book: " Imogen Eddington and The Unfortunate Series of Events That Caused Her Baked Ass to Run Into A Tree and Blame It On Somebody Else". I forgot the commune aspect. They all looked rather baked - perhaps they work on a commune growing weed. All I know is it wasn't the designated day for the plaintiff to use the hairbrush on her hair-don't.

This week so far has been a whole big bag of awesomely crazy whackadoodles. Can you imagine pregnant creepy Juggalo Barbara and Broken Dish Lady in the green room together? "HE BROKE MY DISHES!" "HE PROMISED ME!" Good Lord give these women a big milkshake full of hormones or Xanax or SOMETHING. Judge Judy is not your friend! She's not your therapist! It's not a forum to air your nasty dirty stinking laundry cos the wind is blowing back on you and you come off smelling like brown mushy! Imogen thought she was Zooey Deschanel - I was waiting for her to pull out her ukelele and sing JJ a little ditty about how that wretched tree popped up in front of her car, and oh yea, the guy ASLEEP NEXT TO ME is my teacher and he's responsible!! All three of the people in that case looked like burned out hipster crackheads. As for the Smirking Living Sponge - I swear he sits in front of the mirror and practices being all seductive and mysterious and lifts that elbow in between trolling Plentyoffish for his dating pool and cleaning out the dead bodies from the trunk of his car. PREPOSTEROUS!! as JJ would say. No wonder she gets so pissed off.

Ohwell I stand corrected. Sam does seem shy and a bit panicked when all the girls come clamoring over to him. It's nice to see that easing up week to week.

I think she just wanted to hear the juicy details and compare them to their statements. I notice that she's really irritated when people change their statements during the trial. And I think she also thought something was amiss in the trunk of that car (perhaps dope, perhaps stolen merchandise, hell perhaps a small body wrapped in a throw rug). I actually enjoy the raking over the coals on her show particularly when the people involved are dumb as dirt but think they can slide something past her.

She was doing the "SHAME ON YOU" routine on the kid who cleaned out the basement. Oh and you probably caught the part where she was screaming "It's Not About The Moneeeyyyyyyyyyy" (when in fact, it IS all about the money because there is no action in this world anymore without an opposite polar reaction that involves monetary reciprocation for any perceived wrong that might have happened (i.e. You farted and my nasal passages were irritated so I am suing you for medical bills, dry cleaning bills in case the smell got on my clothes, pain and suffering as well as punitive damages because dammit you're not supposed to far in my direction! I'm on disability and have a fart allergy!!!).

RE: Bucky Covington - I actually bought his CD and it was really good. I think I might have Bo Bice's CD floating around here, along with Taylor Hick's CD. I'm with YourPointIs - I have kids the same age as the current Idol contestants but I really REALLY like looking at Harry. Keith never does it for me because of his sometimes lesbionic hairdo (no offense to any lesbians but his hair looks really REALLY girlie some nights) . If I had to pick a contestant for one of my daughters, it would probably be Caleb - he's a typical Southern boy with a bit of the brat in him. Sam has way too many teeth and neuroses and Alex will always remind me of Duckie from Pretty in Pink.

***ducks flying objects*** I'm a middle aged hetero woman and I thought Peta looked AMAAAAZING. Yes she had a very suggestive outfit on but dang, that was a hot number. (DAME MAS GASOLEEEEENAAA and no, they don't really want gasoline - it's a very sexually suggestive song and "gasolina is" well, sexual intercourse like where the nozzle of the hose is. . . and the tank is. . . I leave it to your imagination) I was a Nene fan until I saw her big old Amazon self on this show (with her flat shoes, WTH was that all about?) Now I can stop figuring out why she dances worse than I do and where they find those big old flat sandals for her feet. The judges need to stop picking on Charlie - that boy is adorable and he's trying so hard. Perhaps it's something with his technique (somebody mentioned the difference between ice dance and regular dance - but shouldn't his partner be picking up on that?)
