American Idol Tonight: Spoilers

Just got them, they were late today:

Megan - Bob Marley/Lauren Hill Song [Turn Your Lights Down Low?]

Allison - Don’t Speak by No Doubt

Danny - What the Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts

Anoop : Caught Up by Usher

Scott Macintyre - "I Love You Just The Way You Are" (gosh I hope he goes home soon)
Kris Allen - "Ain't No Sunshine"
Lil Rounds - "Surrender"
Adam Lambert "Play That Funky Music" (oh no)
Matt Giraud - "You Found Me" (The Fray) on piano

American Idol Tonight Spoilers: Adam Lambert Ring of Fire

I really liked this version even if the judges didn't:



Gosh I forgot Dilana covered this first on Rockstar (I loved her!):



Just found this on a blog. I don't remember what the theme is, but I think it is every song that has ever been in the top 100 or something?

Megan didn’t perform and we never saw her - she had a “wardrobe malfunction.”
Matt Giraud - So Small (played piano)
Scott MacIntyre - I recognized his song, but for the life of me I can’t
remember the name of it. (played piano)
Michael Sarver - Ain’t Goin’ Down Till the Sun Comes Up
Allison Iraheta - Blame It on Your Heart
Kris Allen - To Make You Feel My Love (sat on a stool)
Adam Lambert - Ring of Fire (very sexy Eastern-influenced version that pretty much made every woman over the age of 20 in the audience ready to jump him)
Lil Rounds - Independence Day
Danny Gokey - Jesus, Take the Wheel (partial standing O)
Alexis Grace - Jolene
Anoop - You Were Always on My Mind

My comments: I really don't know alot of the songs. I hope Alexis doing Jolene will be the White Stripes version. Anoop is gone doing Elvis (untouchable). Adam doing Ring of Fire? Interesting. Sarvar doing country, shocker. Danny is this year's TCO, will be top 2.

American Idol Top 13 post:: Season 8

Okay, I didn't live blog because I thought things would be obvious. But most have been really entertaining so far.

Lil and Jasmine (aka the black chicks): Lil has been predicted to be a top 3 and she didn't do well. Jasmine is this years whats her name 15 year old who sang like she was 40. Both have fan bases that will keep them...

Blind guy: aweful. bad. should not be here. Voted in because blind. who cares. bad hair. Bad outfit. bad singer. but will get vote...

Anoop: will go far on charisma. This year's Sanjaya. but better. I agree with the judges comments.

Kris: Have never even remembered him. But he is good. Simon's comment about not bringing the wife in the picture meant he could get the cute tween girl voice. Bitch wife looked like he insulted her.

Adam: gay guy of the season. He has stage, presence and chops. I hope he stays a long time.

Justin wannabe: horrible, but the judges want him to go far so they gave him props. That was horrible. He is not T-lake. There is only one.

Red head Allison: at least she is not autistic like I feared, she had some personality. I really thought she was asperger's or something. I will root for the 16 year old rocker.

Megan: I love watching her horrible dance. She will stick around because she is different.

Last chick: Alexis (I really think Carly and Michael Johns were awesome, I miss them so. But I am glad Cook won). Pimp spot. Dirty Diana. I shudder Michael singing this. Her dress was a prostitute dress. But great voice. get a stylist for gods sake.

I forgot Danny: This years TCO (the chosen one). I am so glad they didn't pimp out the dead wife again (hi Scott, are you blind? oh yeah you are).

I really don't know who will go (2 will go), it should be blind dude and Anoop. Can you see 'Noop selling records? May be some of the chicks. Does Megan have fan base? Does Kris?

Why the F are we giving money to a pedifile (hello, Michael Jackson).

I'll post later with dial idol predictions that are usually right....

Oh, if you dial the normal number and dial "13" at the end, you get a sex line. That's why they are saying dial very carefully....I've never voted so what do I know.

Two will go!!!!!!!!! (blind guy and Jasmine?)

Oh, I forget puerto rican dude and wildcat. So they could go too...

ETA: 15 minutes into dialidol, looks like Kris for sure, probably Jorge, and maybe Anoop and Jasmine. Remember, a lot of people don't even start watching until tonight....

ETA: Jorge for sure, maybe Allison or Jasmine. Kris has rebounded.

Hitfix review, (bookmark this site, former AICN Moriority and Dan Feinberg. Could be the new hot entertainment blog)

ETA: OK, bands that Adam Lambert could front (and I'm not implying gayness):

AFI
My Chemical Romance
Guns N Roses

Seriously, I am hoping for and Adam / Danny / Random rocker chick finale.

Obligatory Cat Post

Aint she so pretty. Taken with my new bb Storm. Really bad camera, btw. seriously.

MGMT Kids cover on iphone by band I never heard of

Interesting. This is why I hate Apple manics....but the song is pretty cool....

Helen's Hospital Bill

First, Thanks St. Luke's. It was the best ER and overnight treatment I have ever had. Now, the bill (very oddly not detailed, I am sure the insurance company will ask for more details):

Pharmacy: 6.50
IV Therapy: 102.50
Lab: 3,223.00
Radiology-Diagnostic: 326.00
ER: 2,500.00
Cardiology: 2,922.00
Drugs required specific ID: 224.50
EKG/ECG: 628.00
Observation: 1,041.84
Other Therapeutic Services: 591.00

Total: 11,564.84

Wow! That's like a new car. I was guessing in my head $5K, but that doesn't even cover the ER visit and the Cardio costs. I wonder if it would have been the same if I went to a non-cardio specialty hospital? But I am glad I went where I did and when I did.

How does my Insurance company pay for "other therapeutic services" for $591? What does that mean? Seriously those were verbatim descriptions.

This doesn't even count the bills I have already got for the ER doc ($550) and X-Ray tech ($200).

I am glad I live in the USA where I can choose the best healthcare available to me! At least for now....

GE CEO on Obama Financial Advisory Board; The Greatest Wealth Destruction by a President

Don't you see the conflict of interest? GE owns NBC, CNBC and MSNBC to name a few. You don't think he is not going to have influence on what his peeps say about Obama's financial policy?

At least Jim Cramer is honest: "The Greatest Wealth Destruction by a President"

Happy March: New Terminator Post and Best Obama Economy Opinion yet

And courtesy of WSJ, when you are trying to articulate why this economy sucks and Obama is making is worse, click here.

"Americans have welcomed the Obama era in the same spirit of hope the President campaigned on. But after five weeks in office, it's become clear that Mr. Obama's policies are slowing, if not stopping, what would otherwise be the normal process of economic recovery. From punishing business to squandering scarce national public resources, Team Obama is creating more uncertainty and less confidence -- and thus a longer period of recession or subpar growth."

IT'S ALL ABOUT CONSUMER CONFIDENCE, AND WE AIN'T GOT IT. NEITHER DOES WALL STREET.

Obama's response? We are not going to adjust our policy based on the ups and downs of the market. Well, Fuck you idiot. Thank you very much for squandering away the next 4 years before your first 100 days even starts.
