Anon,
thanks for the encouragement. There were some pretty good bloggers back in the 1970's though. I actually wrote American Idol stuff well before I did the Bachelor. I suspect there just aren't as many people who blog the Bachelor though.

I am so glad you are blogging Idol. I absolutely LOVE your take on The Bachelor and I'm sure you'll make Idol worth watching for the next 11 weeks. You are hilarious and spot on in your assessments. One of my favorite bloggers....EVER!

Swiping your nickname :}, also spelling-challenged.

Well, Butch in the same sense of Michael Jackson doing Beat It all those years ago or Bad.

Did you just use "Butch" to describe Adam Lambert?...

Did you just use "Butch" to describe Adam Lambert?? For shame!!

Oh, and did I make you think that Jorge's name was actually Jorgay, or are you swiping my nickname? :)

Maria,
thanks for dropping by and commenting. Megan's sort of an edgier version of Carmen, which is a weird notion all by itself. I do see the Danny Gokey thing. I feel like they're setting up a finale between the goth guy and the church music director.

Renee,
many thanks for your very kind comments. I do enjoy posting (not sure the last 2 Idol seasons were all that fun post Sanjaya) and I try to do something a bit more than this happened then this happened and I liked/hated it.

And he's back! I was so happy to see your name on the sirlinksalot list! Great recap with an amazingly insightful analysis of Adam and everyone else. You seem to put so much time, pithiness, and substance into your re-caps - I for one, really appreciate it. I hope you'll keep it up. Renee

Marla here, fresh off the trail of Jason-dissing from The Bachelor, though watching Melissa on DWTS is quickly putting me back on it. Revenge is sweet. Sorry to digress, wrong show!

Loved your recap and the pic of the little Michael Jackson that I grew up listening to...he's unrecognizable as the guy we see today. As for the top 13, I still don't quite know what to make of the contestants so far either. I'm not enamored with Adam's voice, though on some level I guess he's entertaining. You took the words right out of my mouth with your comparison of Megan Corkrey to Carmen Rasmussen, the latter which Simon rallied for and even then to me it was a real head-scratcher. Megan's voice reminds me of Lisa Kudrow's 'Friends' character, Phoebe Buffay, singing 'Smelly Cat.' She's pretty, but I don't find her quirky voice appealing at all. I wish the judges would stop w/ their 'total package' comments because as we saw with Jasmine this week and as I see with Megan, 'pretty' doesn't necessarily mean 'pretty-voiced.' None of the previous first-placers were total packages when they won, but have evolved with experience...and a great stylist! I agree it's interesting how both Jasmine and Anoop (and Megan?) were all in the bottom 4 but were the judges' wild-card picks. At this point I'm still liking Danny the most. Until next week.
