broke mariah
i didn't feel like posting last night after i finally finished working on my template, so i didn't get to talk about american idol. i didn't catch it until the last 45 minutes, but i must say; by far, that had to be the best 45 minutes of reality television that producers, executives, and god alike could have shown on national television. i was rolling on the ground and even yelling in my room by myself "show it again! show it again!" me and crissy were chatting online and that made the experience that much better because of the crap we were talking. anyway, that one girl who thought she was mariah was hilarious. i said she sounded like mariah on crack and crissy said she sounded like a broke mariah. i died. her singing... oh, god, the singing. and poor, poor enrique iglesias.... where is this delusional world that these people live in? i would like a ticket to that place, then i could believe i sing like mariah carey and that i'm married to orlando bloom. the BEST part is that this morning as i was driving to UCSD on Power 106 (an LA radio station which i get in my car and it kicks ass) replayed those two people!!! since i got a refresher of how mariah and enrique sounded, i could hear it in my head all day and i would just laugh out of nowhere while i was at work. they also interviewed randy jackson on the radio and he was saying that those people that actually get to audition in front of the 3 judges and make it on tv are actually pre-screened and they take the best 200. okay, i can't even imagine what those other people who are auditioning sound like if the ones who made it on TV sound that bad. they have to let some of those people in just to make good TV, or the people that go out for those open-calls are really, really sad. i might not watch the finals of american idol (meaning the top 10 and down to the winner) but this elimination process is priceless. i hope they have a reason to bring that episode back in reruns because if that tape just gets locked up in some vault titled "american idol: season 2" then that is a shame. i would pay good money to have that tape in my possession and get a good laugh when i need a pick-me-up. i really wonder if those people watch themselves on TV and feel mortified that they were swearing how good they were and ask themselves "do i really sound like that?" oh, man, that was some good ass TV.
i'm gonna go eat dinner now. i'm gonna go out and hang with the girls tonight. if you are wondering to which girls i'm referring, the girls i know from the lab at UCSD. i don't know what we are doing tonight, if we are going to hang out at one of the girl's house or go have a drink, but since andy has been working at that side-construction job for the past few nights and he's actually doing it tonight, too, i thought i would get out of the house instead of letting my brain rot with marvelous reality tv shows (but, i'm actually going to do my damndest to try to watch american idol at 8:30pm). and i don't have to get up early, so i'm out.
