American Idol Recap: Season 8, Season Finale (pt 1)

Ameri-kizzy I-dizzy. Adam v. Kris with a K. This… is American Idol!

I can’t believe that we’re at the end of the road! We’re in the Nokia Theatre, which is substantially larger than the hovel we’re used to and Seacrest immediately starts drawing images of acoustic rocker v. glam rocker, Conway v. California, the guy next door v. guyliner (no! Guyliner is on LOST). We see the judges; Randy is wearing polka dots, stripes, plaid, and all other types of patterns. Kara looks nice, Paula looks like she’s been sleeping in a tanning booth, and Si actually dressed up for the occasion. We welcome the finalists, and here they are. Continue reading →

[rating:72/100]

After the success of Silent Alarm Remixed I think Bloc Party (pretty clearly) wrote Intimacy’s songs with the back-of-the-head idea that they were also gonna get the remix treatment. I mean, listen to the original “Mercury.” It’s full of loops, sequencer beats, and vocal cuts. It’s a pretty good idea, although the source material still needs to be strong for it to actually succeed. Continue reading →

Are we really down to the final 3? Ryan tells us that they became heroes in their home towns… blah, blah. The 3 are standing center stage looking stupid under 3 spotlights. This is all so dramatic… well, that’s because THIS… is American Idol. Hollah!

American Idol Recap: Season 8, Top 5 ELIMINATION live music

Judging montage, loads of dramatic footage, scary music, foot lights, and THIS… is American Idol!

Ryan welcomes us, taunts us with results and tells us that 47 million votes came in last night. We say hi to our judges (including Paula’s heaving bosoms who are begging to be released from their silky black prison), Simon tells us that everyone was great last night, and we’re off!

The-Dream Love vs. Money Album Review

The Dream Love vs. Money Album Review album reviews reviews 2
[rating:40/100]
If I didn’t know that The-Dream wrote “Umbrella” and “Single Ladies” I probably wouldn’t have given this album a full listen. I’m not disrespecting The-Dream here, but he’s showed us his ability, and for a man with those skills, I have a hard time understanding how he can release this album with a straight face. I’m going to warn you now: reading this review could be painful… which will mirror what I went through as I listened to the album. Ugh…  Continue reading →
