Watching Sitcoms

So its cut and chop night after Andrew Lloyd Webber night on American Idol. See, if they had only done some other musicals, like I asked for yesterday, say Grease, the group song could be something fun like “We Go Together” (rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong). But they won’t. It will be some sad, boring ballad from Cats. Or Phantom. *sigh* I’ve been reading rumors and babblings all day long about what’s gonna happen, but I still have no idea. All I can say for certain is that someone is going home tonight.

Ahh, they are singing All I Ask Of You. I sang this at a wedding once. The chick’s part is wicked high. But still, what did I say? Sad and boring ballad. Unfortunately, I’m watching the show live this week, so I can’t fast-forward through all the commercials and boring parts. At least I can still hit the “mute” button.

Tickets for the tour have gone on sale. They’ve only come to Buffalo once in all these years, so I always have to drive somewhere. I think, this year, it will be Toronto.

I’m busy ignoring the recap. I don’t need to relive them bashing Jason, telling Syesha she’s only good for Broadway, and ignoring David A. and Carly messing up the words. Or watch Brooke start and stop, for the third time since the competition started. I hate to think what would have happened if that had been Jason, the only non-planted contestant left in this competition. Sorry, do I sound bitter? Well, I am a bit. And the show is just starting.

Since ALW doesn’t sing, we have to sit and listen to him have a little Q and A with Ryan and the judges. Um, Ryan, Brooke stopped and started before, or doesn’t anyone but me remember that? And why are they still picking on Jason? Leave the kid alone. Yes, ALW, how can we miss you if you won’t go away? Please, go now and go quickly.

The Ford commercial was pretty good tonight. Plus, I like that song.

They are still talking about Idol Gives Back and we get to hear from President and Mrs. Bush. I remember last year they tried to be funny and didn’t quite make it. Thankfully, this year, they played it straight.

So we start with the eliminations. First up are the two Davids. Clearly, they are both safe. It’s doubtful if anything is gonna shift the two of them out of here until the finale. *sigh*

Lucky us, we get to hear Leona Lewis after the break. I’m just gonna run and get myself some water or something. Honestly, I have no idea who she is. None.

We also get to see some former Idols tell about their runs on Broadway. I notice they don’t mention Constantine.

Well, I know why I’ve never heard of LL. Not my kind of music at all. Ever. Talk about the longest two minutes, I thought that song would never end.

Back to the reason I’m here tonight. Eliminations.

Next on stage, Syesha and Brooke. Oh, this is good. Maybe they are the bottom two. I can live with that. Oh please, oh please, oh please . . . *sigh* Brooke is safe and Syesha is not. Who will join her? It’s Jason, isn’t it? I just don’t think they are gonna want to lose Syesha until the Top 5. Just what I think. I hope I’m wrong.

Now up, Carly and Jason. Jason looks worried. Carly looks smug and a little desperate.

YES!!!! YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!! I’m so excited right now, I’m jumping all around the room. Well, really, I’m sitting here and typing, but I’m jumping in spirit. Jason is safe and Carly is in the bottom 2.

So after we get to hear both chicks sing . . . Carly is leaving. YES!!!!! It’s just like Christmas. And I’m getting everything I want.
