Okay, this is just a lame excuse for a bunch of mini-posts. Sue me.
* Breaking: Real actual star of "Grease" waaaaaaaaaay better to air than a "let's-cast-a-new-for-the-21st-century-'Grease'" made-up "reality" show:
Awesomest. Celebrity. Judge. Ever.
Fox to NBC: "Suck it!"
* Breaking: Idol-hating blogger's failure to waste time tracking down MySpace profiles of failed Idol wannabes making it harder for Idol fans to be lazy:
Eric over at deathbycamera seems to have gotten bored with his Idol-hating must-read posts. Because nature abhors an unfilled gap that needs filling with Idol MySpace-stalking, I have tracked down a few of Wednesday's contestants:
THEY MADE IT...
* Alaina Alexander -- the first LA contestant on TV to get the golden ticket; she sang "Feelin' Good" by Michael Buble, although it's actually a cover; I couldn't find her on MySpace, but here she is on YouTube...
* Brandon Rogers -- yet another professional singer who advances to the LA round; anyone noticing a trend on Idol this season??? He sang "Always On My Mind"; Brandon Rogers on MySpace...
* Brian Miller -- Brian Miller is way too common a name to track down on MySpace -- even by paging through all of the actual singers named "Brian Miller"; but he sang Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come", which is an awesome song, so I wish him luck...

Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come [mp3, via zShare]
[memo to AI producers -- you could do a lot worse than a "Sam Cooke night"...just sayin'...]
And that's it...Did I see that right? Only 3 wannabes who were shown on the air made it through???
NOT A CHANCE IN HELL...
I only tracked down 1 of the trainwrecks, but it's a good one. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the MySpace page of Marianna Riccio, whose mother was a backup singer for Dean Martin and who butchered the Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"...
* And speaking of Dean Martin...
AI veterans know the producers are not below tugging at the heartstrings a bit to goose the ratings [as if the ratings need any goosage]. But this was real, and it was nice, and it was even real nice...
Here's Sherman Pore, whose girlfriend died of cancer 2 days before his "audition", but who still kept his promise to her to audition...and what a beautiful job he did:
* Breaking: AI viewers not smart enough to know when AI begins, ends; apparently keep their "teevees" tuned to Fox between January and May:
Tuesday's 9PM post-Idol episode of House and Wednesday's 8PM pre-Idol episode of Bones both logged record ratings numbers this week. In other news: NBC and CBS green-light new series entitled, respectively, "Law & Order: American Idol" and "CSI: AI" [theme music by The Who still to-be-determined]; ABC still reviewing pilot for "Dancing With The American Idols".

* Breaking: Katharine McPhee releases an album; Kelly Clarkson yawns:
Here's Slate's Idol blogger Jody Rosen on McPheever's new record:
" On Tuesday, another runner-up, Katharine McPhee, released her debut album, and it's actually a good record, staking out a nice middle ground between R&B and adult album alternative, with the blowsy ballads kept to a minimum. (I'm a sucker for the single, "Over It.") "
I picked up "Katharine McPhee" [the album, not the singer, damn it!!!] on Tuesday, and my initial review is less charitable. My opinion may change over time, but my initial review is..."Katharine McPhee" is all over the place. She can't seem to decide if she's [in no particular order] Christina Aguilera, Fergie Ferg, Gwen Stefani, Janet Jackson, Kelly Clarkson, or...Britney Spears???
My advice: Kat, you have a great voice. Embrace it. Find your confidence [not a word you normally associate with someone who is bulimic and who dabbles in Scientology to impress boys]. And embrace your inner Xtina. It worked for Kelly...

Katharine McPhee singing "Over It" on The Today Show, 2007.01.31:
* Bonus Breaking #1: Perez Hilton wants you to know that Clay Aiken wants you to know he has at least 4 fingers on his left hand; Clay Aiken wants you to know that a gay blogger who wants to out him is making up stuff and "bull$#@&":
I have no idea what any of this means.
* Bonus Breaking #2: Nikki McKibben is back:
AI1 3d-place-finisher Nikki McKibben is back. Back from where -- don't ask me. Yes, the famously-untalented and famously-unsmart AI1 3d place finisher -- she eliminated the actually-talented Tamyra Gray -- is "back". But "back" doing what, who knows...

What?! Another DC blogger who knows pop music! I don't feel so alone anymore...
BTW, I am somewhat obsessed with that Mariah/Toni-esque song "Everywhere I Go"
American Idol is one of the best shows on T.V. It definitely brings up some controversy and gives people something to talk about.I am a huge fan of American Idol and have been watching the show since season one. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood can only be really talented winners.
