They sucked. Bad.

It was atrocious.

I could not believe after how stacked with talent last week's show was that this show could suck so hard. Six of last week's eight were better than everyone but Lisa, who did a decent version of Sweet Thing.

Why oh why did they have to butcher two Brian McKnight songs? What did he ever do to them other than inflict maudlin love songs on the world? I never thought he had a fabulous voice (his brother Clyde is the great talent in the family and the OM claims even Brian's ex-wife had five times the voice), but their destruction of his melodies make him sound like he's Placido freakin Domingo in comparison.

The other thing that killed me last night was their poor sense of tempo. For real singers, pitch problems and hitting the wrong notes are like nails on the blackboard. For me, I want to run screaming from the room when someone has no concept of the beat of the song.

The obvious thing AI demonstrates is how difficult it is to sing well.

Just shoot yourself right now. It's only going to get worse. Old and dumb is a terrible combination...Kim Catrall's character on SATC called to tell me to tell you she wants her shtick back.*

*hey, she was hot 20 years ago.

That show needs the Old Yeller treatment badly. I was shocked when the "star" (unremarkable young guy with Strokes haircut) appeared on Jon Stewart recently and said the show was still on the air.

And if they've an extra bullet left after putting down ER, please put down Friends. That wedding episode was mailed in so badly you could almost feel the "hey, lets wrap this take up, I've got an appointment" attitude on the set. Scrap the last five episodes and replace them with Apprentice reruns. I can't get enough of the Donald's combover. ts fucking mesmerizing. I've paused my TiVo from every angle and still I cannot determine where the hairline startsor ends. Its as though he has cotton candy swirled about his head.

I've seen the Don pull his hair up to reveal that it's not a toup or a combover. Twice. Which makes his hair situation even MORE confusing.

Nice sig.

Law school nominally does not teach one proper asterisk usage. Should your comment be taken as a claim of law review membership, just more subtle than Str8?

I received my green card yesterday. (It's actually more green-ish than green, but definitely not pink, as some fiendish souls led me to believe).

Anyway, in advance of this momentous event, last Thursday I received a "Welcome Notice" from the department of Homeland Security welcoming me *with great pleasure* to the United States. I thought that was nice.

On Friday, I received another Welcome Notice. Identical, except dated February 10 instead of February 9 like the first one.

Saturday I received another Welcome Notice. Yesterday, I received
two Welcome Notices. I know math is hard, but even I can figure out that's five welcome notices.

I completely understand that the Department might be excited to have me here in this country on an allegedly permanent basis. I'm excited too. But all this attention is a little unnerving.

I try to call them but all I get is a recorded message. Not very welcoming.

Don't worry. It's simply campaign season, and all part of Tom Ridge's new "Show The Love" initiative. The Welcome Notices should stop by early November.

Save the extras. I know some people who've been having trouble getting one who'll pay big $$$$; especially if the length of your name is roughly the same number of letters as Abu Rahii Absolumantii?

They're probably just so thrilled that you came in legally...

I like the hand gesture that accompanies the "you're fired." But he didn't do it last week. That's just wrong.

I however am mesmerized by the myriad colours in his hair. It is as if there are wings in there.

It will all make sense in the next congressional hearings on immigration, when someone complains about the incredibly slow pace of that function, and someone from the agency answers, "but, sir, last year we sent out over 200,000 welcome notices to new arrivals."

If it makes you feel better, it was a "tasteful" nude spread. Probably classy too.

I can't say that I see the Trishelle appeal, other than the fact she is obviously flirty as hell. And willing to back it up. Her facial features are not great (big forehead and oddly spaced eyes). And I think she has been gradually getting less attractive since her RW days. Bad hair or something.

I do however cut her some slack for having been willing to appear all bloody and bruised last season on the Challenge. Most of the chicks would have thrown a hissy fit to be filmed looking like that.


PS. I hate Coral.

[notcasesensitive]

And from the E! Online website I learned that her given name was Love Michelle Harrison (ok, I'm not 100% on the last name, but I don't care enough to re-look it up). Her mom legally changed her name to Courtney at some point during her childhood. Buyer's remorse on the hippy chick name, I guess.
