American Idol hates me

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Well, this is hard evidence. Not only does every single one of my favorites become the “shocker elimination” of the season, now David Cook, who I’ve hated since his audition, wins the whole thing.
If I wasn’t so ridiculously addicted to this show I would never watch it again. But we all know that’s never gonna happen.

Despite the outcome, the finale was actually pretty entertaining. I think my favorite part of the show was when Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. were the Pips. That was hilarious!

And of course I got to see my real American Idol for the season, Michael Johns. And he was as amazing as ever.

Michael Johns, the American Idol

On Tuesday night when they were doing the whole boxing theme did anyone else notice the part where they asked “Who will be the next to win the title?” and then they showed pictures of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and CHRIS DAUGHTRY?!
Do I need to remind them that Chris didn’t actually win? Instead they sacrificed him so they could have a shocking elimination. This just shows how much they regret letting him go (because we all know this show is rigged). I personally think that part of the reason David Cook won this year was because they are trying to make up for losing out on Daughtry now that they see how successful he has been. But needless to say, David Cook is NO Chris Daughtry.

Anyways, I will say one good thing about David Cook, his Guitar Hero commercial was really good. So much better than the Archuleta version.

Well, another season of American Idol has come and gone. I will be waiting with bated breath for the next season to begin (as much as I hate to admit it… that’s actually a true statement).

Daughtry is #1… again

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

OK I know I haven’t updated in a while but things have been crazy… or I’ve just been in mourning over the loss of Michael Johns on American Idol; you decide.

I can’t believe this season is almost over! Next week is the finale! Where does the time go?
So, David Cook and David Archuleta… I would have never picked those two.
It really angers me to the core that the one guy I have hated since DAY ONE (click here for proof) is at the finale.
Was I not clear on how much I hate him? Don’t even get me started.

Anyways, enough about American Idol. Let’s talk about Chris for a hot second.

While I was off doing God only knows what, Daughtry was actually going on without me (what?)
So here are a few updates:

Daughtry Album cover

Big news for Daughtry!
Daughtry’s “Feels Like Tonight” reached #1 on the Billboard Chart. Now they are the first group to have three #1 singles from a debut album AND also the only other group, besides Nickelback, to have three #1 singles from a single album.
The other #1’s: “It’s Not Over” and “Home.”

ALSO, Daughtry’s debut album has now been certified 4x platinum! That’s 4 million copies sold!

That is so amazing! I’m so proud of these guys. They are so successful and I’m so happy for them. They deserve it.

On another note, I am going to see New Kids on the Block in September in Toronto and I’m not even gonna pretend that I’m not ridiculously excited about it.

New Kids on the Block Reunited

The only thing that would make this better is if Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch were opening up for them but no such luck… apartently Mark Wahlberg has better things to do. Whatever.
I think I may have a huge crush on both Donnie and Mark Wahlberg… is that legal?
Oh well, there’s nothing I can do about it at this point.

Mark Wahlberg is hot
Donnie Wahlberg is hot
