Why hello there, Idol finale

My fiancé and I stopped watching this season of American Idol a few weeks ago because we don’t really care for any of the contestants this season. The one thing I can’t understand is how the judges can say that this is the best season they’ve ever had. Really?? Well I beg to differ. There have definitely been better seasons than this one. Like season 4 where Carrie Underwood won (isn’t she one of the most successful artists to come from the show). Or season 6 with Jordin Sparks. Or seasons 1-10. Pretty much every other season but this season have been good. This season was so uninteresting to me that I’m not even going to see the Idols on tour this summer. And that’s a huge deal for me because ever since season 3, me and my mom have been going to see the Idols Live Tour (3 of those years my fiancé was also with). At first I said that we would just get the cheapest tickets we could get because of me and my fiance saving money for our wedding. Then we decided that to save even more money, we could just not go at all. And we’re both fine with that, because as I said before, we didn’t really care that much about this season.

The only contestants we liked were Skylar, Colton, and Hollie. They should have been the final 3!!! America got it all wrong!!!

The only reason I watched the finale tonight is because I want to see the past Idol contestants perform. Fantasia Barrino was the first Idol alumni to perform and I gotta ask one thing: what the heck was she wearing? I was never a huge Fantasia fan but she didn’t sound too bad.

Some performances I enjoyed:

Skylar sang “On the Radio” with Reba. I really like Skylar and thought that she did an awesome job with the song! And it was awesome to see Reba!

Hollie sang with Jordin Sparks! Jordin was so beautiful!!! Her hair is really long!!! I could never let my hair go that long!

They showed a clip of Randy and how he tells people they are so good that they could sing the phone book. So they put that to the test and had the top 10 sing the phonebook. That was kind of funny. I’m surprised they haven’t done anything like that in any of the past seasons.

So apparently Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo are dating and Ryan brings him up on the stage. In the back of my mind, I knew what was going to happen when they got up on stage, and I was right!! Ace proposed to Diana!!! That was so cute!!!! I didn’t even know that they were dating and now they are engaged!!!

Am I the only person that didn’t know that Dreamgirls was a broadway show long before it was a movie with Jennifer Hudson? And that the person who played Effie in the broadway version is Jennifer Holiday, not to be confused with Jennifer Hudson, who played Effie in the movie. I had no idea who Jennifer Holiday was until now. I had read something somewhere recently that mentioned the song “And I Am Telling You” and it said that it was sung by Jennifer Holiday and I was just like “No!! It is sung by Jennifer Hudson!!!” Now that thing I read makes sense!

And the winner of American Idol 2012 is…Phillip Phillips. I really pity that guy for his name. What were his parents thinking when they named him, seriously?? So there ya have it…another season of American Idol has come to an end. And quite frankly, I’m kind of glad. This season was just a flop for me. No one impressed me that much and the few that did, didn’t make it as far as they should have. If you watched the finale, what did you think? Leave me your comments!!

Goodbye Gosselin’s

I just got done watching the Kate Plus 8 series finale. And I have to say, I’m kind of sad. I love the Goesslin family!!! The show was a joy to watch. Of course there were times I watched the show and thought, “Wow!!”, but I think every show is like that at some point. One thing that the show made me think about was, how different would their life be if they never did the show? Of course it would be completely different!! I’m just glad that Kate finally decided it was time to get those kids of TV.

So what are your thoughts on the Gosselin family? Did you watch the series finale?

It all comes down to this!!!

The Idol finale starts in 40 minutes!!! Right now I’m watching some red carpet footage online at americanidol.com. It’s really cool because there are 3 different cameras you can choose from to watch. You can even click and drag on the screen to look around a bit. I’m watching the one right in front of Didi Benami and Brandon Rogers (2 past Idol contestants for those who don’t know) who are interviewing people on the red carpet. It makes me wanna be there soooooo bad!!! I’ve been entering to win tickets to the finale for 9 years now (since season 2)!!!!! Maybe next year will be my year to win!

One hilarious part from the red carpet footage that I saw was when Lauren and Scotty showed up and Didi and Brandon were interviewing them for a little bit. Then all of a sudden, they got pulled away! There’s about half an hour till the finale starts now!!

So I think one of my favorite Idol finale tweets of the night comes from Casey Abrams. He tweeted: “@CAbramsAI10: Yo, watch Idol tonight. Someone gonna win, people gonna sing, stuff gonna happen.” I couldn’t have said it better myself!!

It is 8:00…time for the start of the Idol finale!!! We set a record last night with more than 122 million votes last night!!! That is crazy!!!

First up, we get a group song from the top 13. They sing “Born This Way'” by Lady Gaga!! What a great song!!! I love it!!! It’s a little preview of what we’ll see on the Idols Live Tour! We just won’t see 3 of the people though, because only the top 10 go on tour. I loved at the end of the song where Lauren and Scotty kept pushing each other out of the way to be in the very front of the group. It’s great to see that the Idol contestants kind of form a little family and get along so well!

Now they are going to show us some clips of the judges. They start with Randy, the only judge left that has been with Idol from day 1!!! One of Randy’s popular phrases of the season is “What is going on with this show?” Oh, and another big one was “_____ is in it to win it!!” Randy is crazy!!! He better not ever leave the show!

Ha…Ryan said he promises that he’ll get the results in before “your DVR’s stop this year”. I remember last year people were complaining because Idol went over 10:00 so anyone who DVRed Idol missed the very end of it.

The girls of the top 13 sang a medley of songs together. They started out by singing a few Beyonce songs and then, just as I thought, Beyonce came out on the stage. Her dancing is amazing!! I could never get my booty to move like that if I tried! So far that performance was my favorite of the night!!!

Steven Tyler…I wonder whose idea it was to have him on Idol. They got the most perfect person for Idol though. Now that he’s been on for a whole season, I can’t really imagine the show without him. He says the most random stuff!!!

It’s Jennifer’s turn…I love her! At first I didn’t know how it was going to be with her on the show. But right away I knew she was perfect for Idol. She’s been in the business herself so of course she knows what she is talking about. And her personality is wonderful!! Haha, they showed the moment when Casey kissed her on the cheek. That was great!!

TLC!!! Woah!!! I remember them from the 90s. I hope they sing “Waterfall”!!! First they sing “No Scrubs”, that was a good song, too!!! And now they are doing “Waterfall”. I bet most people who are younger than me wouldn’t know that TLC is actually missing a member. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes died in a car accident in 2002. And now I know why their band was named TLC: Tionne, Lisa, and Crystal. That makes sense!!

Now Tim McGraw and Scotty are singing “Live Like You Were Dying”. This is a great song and it sounded great being sung by Scotty and Tim!!!!

A surprise is coming up next…I wonder what that could be.

Haha…the guy that had a great radio voice!! He’s showing us the bad moments from Idol this season.

I’m guessing the surprise was Jennifer Lopez dancing

Now Casey and James arguing over who’s elimination was the most shocking. I agree with James, I think his elimination was the most shocking. That was great when Pia came in with a “Most Shocking” sash on. She said “What are you guys talking about?” And they go “Nothing”. Then she’s like “That’s what I thought”.

The music video that Lauren and Scotty sang in was to Carrie Underwood’s song “Whenever You Remember”, another good song!!! They showed clips from past Ford music videos.

Wow!!! Lauren and Scotty got the keys to the Ford vehicle of their choice!! If I were one of them, I would choose the most expensive car that Ford sells!!

Of course, what would the Idol finale be like without Lady Gaga. What the heck is she wearing on her head though? There we go, she took it off, much better!

Lauren is singing “Before He Cheats”. I bet Carrie Underwood is going to come out and sing it with her!!!!! And she did!!! Carrie is one of my favorite Idol contestants ever!!! And she is so nice in person! I met her when I saw her in the American Idols Live tour back in 2005. It was right after the concert and I was waiting by the busses to see if any Idols would come out. The security guards were being mean and said we had to leave soon but there were a bunch that decided to stay, including me. And at that point my mom said we were gonna leave soon. Well, 10 minutes later is when this picture was taken:

Alright, so I can’t find the picture. I have it on photobucket but the link to it isn’t working. It was a great picture though! And she was so nice!! She was like “Where am I looking?” cause she wanted to make sure she was looking at the right camera!!

Alright, it is 9:55 and Steven Tyler is singing??? They need to get to the results as soon as he is done!! One thing they didn’t show this season was that they didn’t go to their hometown and talk to people they know. I know Mikalah Gordon (from season 4) is at Lauren’s hometown so I would have loved to see her tonight!

I just remembered something, my step-mom pointed out to me that Idol is on until 10:07, so that’s why we haven’t seen the results yet.

Alright….the winner of American Idol season 10 is…Scotty McCreery!!!! I loved during his song when he went out in the audience and hugged his family members. Well, Jack Black was going to be the next person Scotty would have hugged cause he was just standing there, but then Scotty just walked away and Jack put his hands out like “Hey, where’s my hug?”

Well, season 10 of Idol has come to an end. I’m okay with Scotty winning even though I wanted Lauren to win because I know she is still going to have a CD out, probably within a few weeks of Scotty putting out his.

So what did you think? Happy with the results? Leave me comments! Have a great night everyone!!

P.S. Check out my first giveaway and enter to win!!

A Country Showdown

Alright, it’s all come down to this!!! Lauren or Scotty, who’s it gonna be???

Their first round they are picking one of their favorite songs. Scotty is up first because he won the coin toss and decided to sing first. He chose to sing “Gone”. No judges comments?? That’s kind of weird. Ryan goes right to the numbers without going to the judges.

Lauren chose “Flat on the Floor” as her pick for her favorite song. It sounded amazing, just like it did the first time she sang it!!

I’m surprised that Scotty’s Idol is George Strait and not Josh Turner. He chose “Check Yes or No” for Scotty to sing. I really liked it!

I’m not surprised with Lauren’s Idol: Carrie Underwood. Carrie chose “Maybe It Was Memphis”. I never heard this song before but she did a great job with it! Her dress is so cute!! I’d probably change the color (to purple) but I love it!!

Now Ryan goes to the judges. I guess they are just trying to save time because they had to fit 6 songs into an hour. Last week when they did 6 songs, they did it in an hour and a half. Randy states the obvious and says “They’re in it to win it!!” Well of course they’re in it to win it, Randy, or else they wouldn’t be up there!!

Taio Cruz sang that perfect harmony song that people voted for online. I didn’t vote on it though. I have no idea what that whole thing was about. All I know is that I thought the chorus was really annoying. This is about the time that I turned on the TV and it was at the part of the song where he kept repeating “positive”. I was like, seriously? How many times does he have to say it??

Idol tour tickets…I gotta get…oh wait, I already did, Ryan!! 10th row!!!! I can’t wait!!!

Back to the singing now…for the final round they are singing the song that will be the winner’s debut single. Scotty's song is called “I Love You This Big”. The song is alright, not that big of a fan of it though.

Lauren’s song that would be her debut single if she sings is “Like My Mother Does”. If I’m thinking correctly, this is a Kristy Lee Cook song. Yup, it’s the same song. So I wanna know why Scotty gets a brand new song but Lauren doesn’t. That’s not really fair if you ask me. But, I guess Idol isn’t about fairness. I really hope Lauren wins!!! I really love that song and hope that she wins so that song can be released!!! I still think it’s awesome that Steven Tyler predicted Lauren would win and now she so close to winning!!!

Well, that’s all for my thoughts. I think it’s going to be Lauren!! Who do you think it will be? Leave me your comments.

And again, check out my first giveaway!

Glee goes to Nationals in NYC!!!

I didn’t get to watch all of Idol tonight because I only got home

The Glee season finale is here!!!! They start of the episode right off the bat being in NYC! I love NYC so I’m loving this so far! I was there twice: once with my aunt right after I graduated from HS and then the last time was with my fiancé.

Finn wants to ask Rachel out but he thinks she is too into Jesse right now. I think he should take the advice from the guys and go for it. The worst she can say is no, right?

I’m not sure what the song is called, but I’m loving the song that Mr. Shue is singing on the Broadway stage! That’s definitely a download!!!

Well, Finn took the guys’ advice and he asked Rachel out on a date. I guess you could call it a date. The guys are standing on the sidewalk and all of a sudden they start singing “Bella Notte”, how cute! Finn goes in to kiss her, but then she says she can’t.

They just showed a short preview for Glee the Movie in 3D!!! I am so there!!!!

Rachel and Kurt somehow break into Gershwin theater, the home of Wicked. I was there before!! I will never forget that day! My aunt told me that our seats were row K, so I thought we were pretty far back. We get there and are walking to our seats and we keep getting closer and closer, and eventually we are only a few rows away from the stage! I think it was like, 3 or 4 rows. Rachel and Kurt are singing “For Good”!! I love this song and am definitely downloading this as well!!

The New Directions found out that Mr. Shue is going to Broadway. But then he says he’s not going and that he’s staying with them.

Nationals have begun! Another choir sings Usher’s “Yeah” which sounds alright. It seems kind of weird them being in dresses though. Vocal Adrenaline is up next. Their outfits are much better. I love the blue dresses!

Alright…it’s time for the New Directions to show NYC what they’ve got!!! They start out with a song that Finn wrote for him and Rachel. They really need to get back together because they are so cute together!!! Wow! They kissed at the end of the song! So that’s what Jesse was talking about when he said “Was that scripted?” in the previews and Mr. Shue said “No”. That has been bugging me all week because I wanted to know what he was talking about.

I love when they do original songs on Glee. Don’t get me wrong though, I love when they do covers of other songs, but I’d love for Glee to do a lot more original songs for the upcoming seasons. Oh, and since I commented on the outfits of the other choirs, I just gotta say that I totally want a dress like the ones that the girls in the New Directions wore!!!

They didn’t rank??? They didn’t make it in the top 10?? That really sucks!!!! I don’t think that Rachel and Finn’s kiss cost them nationals. I just can’t believe they didn’t even rank!!! Well, they got 12th place and they still got a trophy, even though it was really small.

Well, that is all for Glee this season. I guess I’m going to have to listen to all my Glee songs and go see Glee the Movie in 3D when it comes out in August!!! That’s all for now. Don’t forget to check out my very first giveaway. Leave me comments :)

Another season has come to an end…

Season finale…here we go!!! The preview looked really good!! My oh my, what a season it has been.

I’m excited to see Leah and Corey’s wedding!! Whenever I see or hear anything about weddings, it makes me super excited for mine!!!

I’m glad Chelsea’s dad wants to get Adam’s car towed. It shouldn’t be there because he doesn’t live there anymore. He needs to get all of his stuff out of there.

Kailyn is lucky to have her mom on her side. I’m surprised that we haven’t heard anything about Kailyn’s dad since the episode where she met him. I guess she never wants to see him again and doesn’t want him in her life.

Wow, I can’t believe that Janelle is keeping it a secret that she’s with Kiefer still. I had thought they broke up. And they both went to jail?? Wow, I can’t believe her!! It doesn’t surprise me though. Her mom has given her too many second chances. She should let her sit in jail for a while so that Janelle can think about her life a little bit. Although I don’t think her doing any thinking will make a difference. I really hope that she had a wake up call and will never talk to Kiefer again. I don’t see why she doesn’t get that he isn’t good for her. It’s about time that she realizes her mom was right.

Good!! I’m glad Janelle (might have) finally learned her lesson. I hope she doesn’t think about letting Kiefer out of jail. He isn’t her problem anymore, let someone else deal with him.

I’m gonna do like Leah and Corey, my fiancé and I won’t see each other the night before our wedding. And the first time we’ll see each other will be when I’m walking down the aisle. I can’t wait for that moment!!

I’m glad that Chelsea is smart and is forgetting about Adam. She needs to talk to Janelle and talk some sense into her!

It’s good that Janelle is actually starting to improve and work on her life. Paying back her mom’s credit card is a great start. That was a touching moment when Janelle and her mom were hugging. It’s something I never thought we would see happen.

Leah looks so pretty!! I can’t wait to see her in her dress! And I can’t wait to see the actual wedding!!

I haven’t said much about Kailyn and Jo yet. I think it is wise for them to actually get a custody agreement in place so that they don’t have any problems in the future. They just need to learn how to be civil towards each other. They have a child together which means they are going to have to talk to each other now and then.

Janelle shouldn’t tell Kiefer she doesn’t know if she is still with him. She needs to flat out tell him they are through!! She should not be missing him at all because he is no good for her!

Leah’s girls look so cute in their dresses!! I especially love the bows on their heads! It brought tears to my eyes as Leah was putting her dress on! That’s going to be me in about 2 years!!! It is still hard to believe!!!

Wait, did Jo just call Kailyn mentally ill? How is she mentally ill? He is being a jerk!! I feel really bad for Isaac.  He doesn’t deserve to be around the bad language that both his parents are using.

I can’t believe that Janelle bailed out Kiefer!!!! I sorta figured she would do that. And she’s considering going back with him after all she’s been through? He isn’t going to change and Janelle just needs to wake up and see that. Wow, his bail was $2,000 but the lady got it down to $200 if someone over 21 would sign for her. That is ridiculous! And now Janelle’s friend is basically in charge of Kiefer going to court and if he doesn’t, he has to pay the full $2,000. Actually he’s probably going to make Janelle pay it, which I totally agree with.

Yay, it’s time to see the wedding!!! Awww, she was crying before she even walked down the aisle!! I have tears in my eyes watching her cry!! The girls looked so cute going down the aisle in the wagon!! And again, I’m crying while watching them say their vows!! I still cant’ believe that that will be me in 2 years!!  This has definitely been my favorite part of Teen Mom ever!!!! I’m glad they had a happy ending!!

Well, that’s it for the season finale of Teen Mom 2! But it won’t be the last time I blog about this group of girls. I’m not sure when it is, but there will be a special where they all sit down with Dr. Drew. So I will definitely watch that and write about it.

What were your thoughts about the finale? Favorite parts? Least favorite parts? Leave me comments!!!
