Last season Blake had his beatbox, Sanjaya had his hair. We've got no idionsyncracies, no eccentricities, no personality! Ugh. We can haz doodoo over?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I wish I hadn't watched AI tonight. They kept talking about Mariah's more "obscure" songs and how "most people" wouldn't be familiar with them and, dammit, I knew all those fucking songs.
I'm left with the disturbing realization that I know WAY more Mariah Carey music than I'm comfortable knowing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
well, her first album is amazing, and a lot of kids today don't know it other than Vision of Love. Of course, it came out in the early 90's, when most of them were zygotes.

I do wish one of the guys had done "Honey." That would've been hilariously awesome.

I was praying for something, anything, off of the Butterfly album, because it is made of awesome! But really, I got nothing but love for Mariah. She can blow and she puts out little nuggets of pop gold! Then again, I am an unashamed lover of the dirty pop in all its forms, which is why my Fergie resistance is always so puzzling. She's just the kind of fluffy artist I should, and normally do, love, and yet . . . Well, I liked that Big Girls Don't Cry song, but I'm pretty sure that's just because the video gave me nekkid Peter Petrelli.
I have to say, I am totally and utterly missing the hoopla over D. Cook's performance last night. I mean, I don't like the kid, but will grudgingly admit that at times he has been in good voice this season. Last night was definitely not one of those times. He was painfully out of tune for much of the song (just like last week). My AI virgin and I were in agreement that we actually liked the new arrangement for Always Be My Baby, shocking! But his voice sounded like ass.

I thought he was fine, but nothing extraordinary. Certainly a step up from last week's mess, though.

Perzactly. He's fun to watch, to wonder what arrangement he'll come up with, but it's no fun listening to him. I think he should be an agent/arranger for someone who can sing.

I love this idea so much I want it to be my next American Idol.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe interviewed Yau-Man (Survivor) this week because he's in the new reality TV pilot The Skeptologists with Steven Novella and others. Highly recommend a listen!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thanks for posting that! I haven't listened to Skeptics' since Perry passed away.
