American Idol, Season 4, Episode 1

Now, why they gotta say "a single mother and the girl next door?" Why they gotta set it up like that?

Newsflash - CLAY DIDN'T WIN. I love how they always include him in the winners circle.

Ok, major props to the editing folks. How to make a tired series on a simple premise new - EDITING.

Major props to adding guest judges to the initial audition process.

How pissed would you be if someone got you on national television asleep SUCKING YOUR THUMB?

Perhaps the real marketing plan behind Are We There Yet? was to keep advertising it and delaying the release date until people actually decide to go see it?

Can someone who was there, prove to me that Clinton and Bush (Sr.) were actually in the same room for the filming of the Tsunami relief commercial?

Apparently, they wrote new lyrics to YMCA.

Dude, if you don't learn your lyrics, you are not allowed to cry. These are the rules.

Go'on now Anwar - the voice and the personal mission.

"It may appear that I have a lot of money, but you do not have to have a lot of money to look nice." - Melissa Considine. And the rest, is now, history. Brilliant.

If you have a famous cousin, and she ain't hooked you up, perhaps you should consider that. A little bit.

[ps - my dad is watching this downstairs on the other side of the house (I'm upstairs) and his cable is a little ahead of mine, and it's first killing me to hear him bust out laughing, and then what ever he's laughing at happens, and I'm double-dead.]

America The Beautiful, ALTERNATE ENDING. YES. no.

HELLO. Karaoke/Wedding Ring/Karaoke/Wedding Ring/Karaoke/Wedding Ring - IS THIS A DELIMMA? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? No, REALLY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Have I mentioned that I LOVE GEORGE HUFF?

Is there something wrong with me that shipping technology turns me on?

"Basically, I was a drunk, and then basically, I found Jesus, and then, I just found out I could sing a couple of weeks ago." - Jason Smith

James Ingram is a god. Period. No matter what.

All I can really say, is that I just watched Sybil audition for American Idol.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. Thoughts:

As for Clay, he is the bomb diggity and, truthfully, has been more successful than R-Studd. So AI likes to pretend they own him as well :-) Because really, they sort of do.

I'm wondering what those 23 number-one songs are, because I can only think of 5.

If that kid was Toni Braxton's cousin, I'm Cito Gaston's daughter. And have we seen Cito Gaston? And wow - that dude was angry.

I wondered the same thing about George 41 and Clinton. Looking for the faint line in the green screen ...

And yes, 'Y.M.C.A.' is now some sort of religious Christian-rock fare. Hmmm ... I guess that is apt, since it is the Young Man's Christian Association. So never mind. The Village People are evil blasphemes, just like Kirk Cameron told me they were.
