Powers That Be, hear our prayers. 1. I know this is going to sound frakkin ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=30107&cat=39 American Idol: Its Any Davids Game, Unless Your Names Hernandez- May 22, 2008 I knew something was up when the Idol Internet Powers That Be pulled my post about MSNBCs prediction of who would win and why. Maybe there was some truth to that rumor If there wasnt, why bother trying to hide it Methinks the Powers That Be might ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=30062&cat=39 American Idol finale: Show without a soul- May 22, 2008 I want to thank American Idol for proving the point Ive been making for the past four years. This show sucks. Over the course of seven seasons, Idol has become many things. None of them good. American Idol is overtly crass and cynically commercial. It is an ode to corporate America. It is ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=30057&cat=39 American Idol: Watching Archuleta lose was so gratifying- May 22, 2008 David Archuleta lost. Oh jeebus that feels so good to write.

Presumably this is because Darth Chuleta has all sorts of plans for sweet little Archu-D2 and will not acquiesce to the whims and desires ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=30035&cat=39 American Idol: Its 2008, Randy- May 21, 2008 Words I could do without ever hearing again this year (or ever again): Phonebook, molten, and hot. I could also do without boxing metaphors mixed into my American Idol. This is one of the least macho shows on television; and taking the sports metaphors too literally and too seriously just ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=30012&cat=39 American Idol finale: Suck doesnt begin to describe it- May 21, 2008 I learned the hard way: Its not humanly possible to drink enough alcohol in an hour to dull the pain that is the American Idol finale. But hell, that didnt stop me from trying. I kept thinking about the boxing theme and couldnt help but wonder, how much fun would it be ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=30009&cat=39 American Idol: Wake Me Up Before YouOh, No.- May 21, 2008 EW.com is reporting that Luke Menard, who was in the Top 24 this season, has Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Other than the &8220;stars&8221; from Fox&8217;s summer lineup, ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=29966&cat=39 American Idol: Finale, Finally- May 20, 2008 Its been five long months, but weve finally made it to the Idol finale, predictably featuring the two Davids. Because thats how Nigel and 19 wanted it. I find it hard not to be bitter about American Idol this year. No, not merely because I am an angry person ...http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/blog.php?p=29930&cat=39 |
