Stayin' Alive. . . Stayin' Alive
The spring cold I've been fighting got me again on Wednesday night, but I managed to at least watch the show (albeit with a short delay --- got to avoid those commercials!!). However, I was not able to post until today, but the good news is, I think I finally have this cold beat!! (And it’s a balmy 87º here in sunny California. . . so I think it will get cooked out of me this weekend!)
Wednesday’s show again brought me to tears several times --- I just can’t stand seeing unhappy kids. Show me adults who are suffering and I can keep it together, but the minute a tear slides down a little kid’s face, I’m blubbering like a baby!!!
Not sure why AI suddenly decided to get charitable --- maybe they wanted to fight their “fluff show” image?? They take a lot of flack about how many votes are received each week versus how many people vote in elections, although why people feel the show is responsible, I don’t know. And, when you’re beating up on the show do you ever stop to think that lots of people vote WAY more than once??? Make politics as exciting as AI or make people feel that they matter to the government and people will turn out in droves to vote in our political elections.
Okay, ‘nuff said!
I really enjoyed the “dual” broadcast with Ellen --- she’s always entertaining. Also enjoyed the “Stayin’ Alive” montage of stars --- it was fun seeing the celebrities having fun and not seeming to care how “cool” they looked.
Loved seeing the potential Idols all in white, yet keeping their own sense of fashion (sort of like when the bride lets her attendants pick their own dresses keeping to a color theme). They looked uniform, yet no one looked funky or stuck in something that didn’t suit them.
I called the “no one gets kicked off” about 10 minutes before the end of the show (I have a witness) although I was a still a little scared that Jordin might get voted off, but have learned to ignore Ryan’s “warnings of doom” (who can believe a guy who looks like one of the fishes in “Nemo”?).
I was glad it wasn’t Jordin, but think the show went a little saccharin in not kicking someone off --- I know, I know, it was a charity night so they were being charitable!!! But it IS a competition, and in competitions there’s ALWAYS a last place finisher.
So, go ahead and be elated that no one got booted on Wednesday, but remember. . . TWO people will go home next week. If you couldn’t choose one person to go home last week, how are you ever going to be okay with two people going home this coming week??
