A link recently sent to me led me unbeknownst into the "interspecies love" category on YouTube. (There's a ton of files -- who knew?) So, in honor of Valentine's Day and funny, mismatched couples ... let the exasperated quacking begin.
DMN artist Layne Smith has come up with a way to calculate the compatibility of you and your sweetie. He created the True Love Compatibility Checker, where you type in your names and find out if you're meant to be. For example, Jessica Simpson and boy wonder Tony Romo? 35 percent compatible.
If you're curious about how he did it, find out after the jump...
Darius Holbert, a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and the University of North Texas (and a good friend of mine since we were 11), has recorded the perfect Valentine's Day song. It's called "The Luckiest Valentine." If you're still sweating what to give your sweetie, just send them a link to this.
Thank God Kyle didn't through. What is Simon smokin', telling him he should have made it? I think Idol folks just avoided having another Sanjaya on their hands. Or at least another Kevin Covais. [Shuddering at memory of Chicken Little.]
So no Josiah for this season. Man, my heart just dropped to my stomach. Maybe it's because he was homeless and all. Somebody give that kid an apartment!
I think she might be my personal front-runner. Her singing seems effortless, and I'm betting she'll be able to take any style they throw at her and ride it home.
And "rose in a fisted glove" David sure looks good in those fitted shirts, but Simon's right. He has a lot of serious competition to overcome. We'll see.
And you know what else I've noticed? All the yes people so far have been cah-yoot! Not that looks are what drive my votes ... ahem ... but this might be the best-lookin' top 24 ever.
So glad that we have some international flair in the top 24, with the Irish gal and now Aussie Michael. But he really should pick songs in a lower key. That "Bohemian Rhapsody" kinda pierced my eardrums at the end there.
These people I've never seen who are making it through? I'm thinking they have bigger hurdles to clear going into the rest of the season. Doesn't really seem fair, but maybe America will clear its slate before next week. Or maybe the people who hate the audition stage will start to tune in and not know anybody.
She killed that audition with the keyboard, so I'm hoping she'll get to play it again during a few of the performance shows. Plus, I like her humility. She doesn't know how good she is.
I'm not really into this Kristy Lee Cook chick. Yeah, she's got a great country voice, but I just feel like we've been down this road before on Idol. I'm hoping more unique artists like Amanda and Josiah go further than she does. And you know they are going to keep us waiting until the end to find out Josiah's fate. There was just too much drama last night for that not to be the case.
16-year-old David Archuleta is gonna go far, with that fresh face and that amazing voice. He'll have the Sanjaya effect with the teen girls, but he'll actually deserve his success.
So we have a rocker in the mix. I'm hoping this Janis-like Amanda will also be added. And you are so right, Farah. They shouldn't let Paula do the talking. When she waxes philosophical, it just kills the momentum.
Yeah, a little annoying that Carly Smithson said she wouldn’t continue singing if she didn’t make it. But she did, and we should look forward to this delectable Irish lass out-Celining Celine from now on.
Oh, and I should say that out of pure excitement, Farah and I might be making the same points. But we can’t help it if we share a brain. So consider it double the blogging pleasure!
Really, Hayden Christensen, is this how far your career has fallen that you have to appear alongside Ryan Seacrest in a promo for the upcoming movie Jumper (and Coca-Cola)??!? Really?
The intro of tonight's episode features Ryan Seacrest chatting it up with Hayden Christensen from 'Jumper,' a 20th Century Fox film. Go see it everybody!
And it's gonna be alright, when we find out the top 24. I'm guessing the contestants will come into the room where the judges are and find out the news. I'm rooting for Josiah, Syesha, the Irish chick whose name I forget, and the 16-year-old guy whose name I also forget. Stay tuned.
AT LAST, my favorite moment of Idol has arrived -- no more cheesy auditions and watching hours of bad singers. It's time to finally whittle the field to the top 24!! And then from here, it's on to live performances!! Yay! Let's all tune in and enjoy ...
My early faves are Josiah and Syesha, though I also like the soulful Irish lass whose name escapes me. I'm crossing my fingers they make it ...
Hey ladies. Need a little financial advice? Oprah had financial self-help guru Suze Orman on her show today,and is offering a free download of Orman's book Women & Money. The free download is available until 7 p.m Thursday.
I was avoiding paying bills the other day and came across this video on YouTube. Comedian Anjelah Johnson (who's also been on MADtv) is cute, smart, really funny, and does a dead-on impression of the ladies at the nail salon. Sheck it out.
Gee, the Roger Clemens hearing has taken a turn toward the linguistically bizarre, with everyone trying to dissect what Brian McNamee really meant when he uttered the phrase "it is what it is," in a taped phone convo when Clemens urged him to tell the truth in the steroids investigation. McNamee claims it's some jargon meant to communicate to Clemens that he had told investigators the truth, but I, for one, am still befuddled! Meanwhile, the chairman of the hearing joked that the phrase's meaning may hinge -- Clinton-like -- on what "is" is, while a fellow Congressman on the panel pointed out that it's a common New York expression that should be further researched. This is what it is -- confusing!!
There's a new drama on TV, and it's got me glued to my set -- are you watching?? It's about some baseball star, and he's getting grilled by a Congressional panel on whether he used performance-enhancing drugs, and just a few feet away from him is his former trainer, accused of giving him the alleged drugs. Thrown in for additional drama are a hot poolside barbecue party, butt bandages, and numerous congressmen ripping the baller and the trainer a new one. Oh, wait, this isn't a soap opera?! Whatever, this Roger Clemens hearing -- which is monopolizing every damn cable news channel and ESPN -- is riveting stuff. Who needs American Idol?!??
On a serious note, U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays just ripped into trainer Brian McNamee about tarnishing baseball "titan" Clemens' reputation and basing his accusations on lies under oath. He blasted the media circus surrounding the case, and kinda made me feel bad for watching the whole spectacle. And yet I couldn't turn away ...
