American Idol - do ya watch it? who do ya like?

So my wife makes me watch American Idol and yes, sometimes I even like it :-D At times there are some very fresh takes on old songs. It's funny because each year they audition 100,000 people and then have an elimination starting with 36 then down to 12. Even at the point of the final 36, it's fairly easy to pick out who the final 2 or 3 are going to be. This year kind of threw me though. We thought for sure Alexis Grace was going to the final 3 but she got voted off early. She had some bad song choices but the link above shows what she's capable of.

Our picks for the final two are Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta.

Allison Iraheta - Papa Was a Rolling Stone - Motown week. One of my favorite songs by the Temptations anyway...this little 16 year old girl just totally belts it out.

Adam Lambert - Satisfaction - Difficult to watch cause we think he's probably gay or just completely narcissistic...but the guy can hit some crazy notes. Would've made a great 80's hair band / hard rock lead singer.

Adam Lambert - Ring of Fire - This is the version he did for country week...lol.

Allison Iraheta - Give In To Me

Allison Iraheta - Blame it on your Heart

Adam Lambert - Tracks of my Tears - Motown week.

Linda also likes Kris Allen. In case you didn't watch AI last year, check out David Cook - Billie Jean (the Chris Cornell version)

the 51st grammy awards

this years grammy awards: what did you think about this years show, winners, and performances?

Morbid thought

What song (other than kingdom melodies) would you want to be played at your funeral ?

does rock make you ugly?

or is it that rock just allows the ugly to succeed? (see possible evidence in pic below)
although i'm not sure if eddie van halen was even decent-looking in his prime, i can easily say that he is far from it now if this pic from 2006 is allowed into evidence!
fortunately, more recent pics show a bit of improvement from his 'meth-mouth' look of 2006. i especially enjoyed some of the defensive comments from people on the blog.... wow those are some die-hard fans!
