Less to See than on NHL Center Ice®

[tmdiva]

I was out and wasn't watching the clock, so missed the first half. From what I saw plus the little snippets they showed at the end, it looked like everyone performed better than last week. Better song choices, more confidence, etc.

I thought Scott Savol was awesome last night, and I don't know why Randy was kind of down on him. He picked a hard song, with that fast-moving verse, and every note was in tune.

Nikko was better, but still had some pitch problems at the ends of phrases in his mid range.

Travis was better, but still doesn't have all that strong a voice.

Anthony SUCKS! I hope he goes home this week, but I'm sure his blonditude has tin-eared teenagers across America swooning as they madly hit redial. They've got to stop comparing him to Clay. He's cuter, but he just hasn't got the chops. Clay had/s annoying mannerisms, but every note he sang was effortless and dead-center on pitch. Nothing that comes out of Anthony's mouth comes remotely close.

Bo is the man. He could stand to lose his spare tire, sure, but he has lots of experience performing with a live band, and it shows. My sister and her husband (former rock band drummer) observed that he'd probably covered that tune a million times with his band. He's from Alabama, people, you'd better believe it!

In spite of only getting snippets, I voted for Anwar and Constantine (who didn't seem to be having the same mike problems as last week). From the second half I voted for Scott and Bo.

Is this show on every fucking day or what?

Anyway,. here are my thoughts on what stuck.

That little blond russian dude- he can take a seventies band's cheesy eighties classic and turn it into a Celine Dion song? He has to go, immeditaely, if not sooner.

Anwar- I wasn't impressed last night. Though I like the way he looks. He is kind of soothing looking, if thats possible. He was okay, it sounded like karaoke, as did most of the stuff last night.

Constantine- I have added Steve Perry to his mix of Chris Robinson and Andre Agassi, but he is still adorable. Nevertheless, he sucked. He should never take on a song that Chris Robinson perfected. Just looks like a pretender to the throne.

Bo Bice- he is my main man. My runaway favorite. He answered the question, "Are the contestants forced to sing lite FM or is that by choice?" The Allmans on AI? Dude, call Sebby, this shit just got good. And he was GREAT. Better than Gregg (after too much bottle). I watched it three times. He was the only one who sounded original (thoughthat might have been a function of avoiding the Al Green or Celine Dion formula). I was so inspired I voted for him and I didnt think I was gonna vote until barely announced her love for the scrawny russian kid and she and I locked horns.

Good question. At the risk of incurring pony's wrath, I'll answer. Had not really thought about it. I think my pink novelty t-shirt with a big-ass wedding cake and "BIG MISTAKE" on it might be a bit much, even though it makes my TITS!! look big for some reason.

I think jeans, and a betsey johnson top (also makes TITS! look big), and high heeled boots and my furry jacket. And lots of concealer, because I'm really fucking tired.

No. That's funnier than mine. In fact, I give it a 9 out of tenzing.

How about, when she shoved the Iceaxe handle up his ass, she was surprised to find he was neither Tenseng Norgay? Yeti...

Waiting for the Himalaya joke...

Aren't those called two of the other seven summits and not alternatives?

(he's summitted them both)

I didn't read your entire post about the cake. Mostly because I don't care.

Yes, they are a part of the seven.

By virtue of the fact that they are other summits, they are alternatives, are they not?

I will admit that I am weirdly curious about your boyfriend now. Because, in spite of the fact that he collects lunchboxes and fucks you, he might actually have something going for him....

Bitch please. I already fucked him. I don't need a boyfriend.

He was flat for much of the song, as many of the other contestants were also. Why are the judges being so nice? If I'm noticing this, surely they are.

Things sound differently in the studio than they do on tape. That's the only possible explanation for why they were so complimentary to Anthony (and to Diana Degarmo the shouter last season).

How long before she's part of the "how long is too long to breast feed" thread?

Eat your heart out, after your criticism here, you'll be getting nothing but unrequited dreams of the fact that climbers do it with dangling nuts!

ps: I miss chef [sniff]! (who, by the by, has met lunchboxclimberguy and gives him two thumbs up!)

With ketchup, or without? I find salsa too harsh in the morning. I used to think ketchup with eggs was disgusting (when I was a kid) but lately, I've been starting to like it.

Maple syrup on the eggs. (As long as sausage --- ETA "or bacon" ---is also on the plate, in which case the syrup goes on them too). Mmmmmn.

Denali. Without a guide.

Or Aconcagua. Actually, Aconcagua isn't that tough. It's not Kilimanjaro easy, but it's not Everest.

Why wouldn't Everest without a guide be sufficiently difficult and "un-commercial"?

with ABBATITS, "one minute after never" is your answer.

Surely you could have come up with something using "Norgay."

Norgay is in Nothern Europe, Asshat. Mt. Everest is in Asia. Those are two totally different countries.

(Note: this is porbably only funny to me because I doubled down on the xanax at lunch. Somebody PM me and let me know if it's nap time)

I'm pretty sure you can't do Everest w/out a guide (unless you're a professional).
