Comments
Correction: Fantasia's campy, over the top performance on Idol last night was more entertaining than anything the show has produced since Sanjaya's Ponyhawk. Fact.
Doesn't mean it was a good performance, just more entertaining. And I love me some crazy divas going nuts on stage. It's why I always see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs whenever they come nearby.

Robert,
On the eighth day, God created Karen O. And then he sat back while she wailed.
I'm with you a million percent. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, second only to Muse in my opinion, put on the best live show.
I didn't watch Idol though. Fantasia may be up there now.

Miss Tonya...oh my Lord. I seriously think she's full of shit, but at the same time, I hope for her sake she's telling the truth. Lying about something like rape...just, so insanely wrong and disgusting. What a wreck of a human being. It's incredibly sad really, either way.

Fantasia won the only season of American Idol I have ever forced myself to watch. I had to see what all the hoopla was about, and is it any wonder that I never watched it again after she won? If I wanted to hear a voice like hers I'd step on my cat's tail and twirl.

David,
I think the best way I can describe Fantasia's Idol performance is thus:
Throw Tina Turner, Jennifer Holiday circa Dreamgirls on Broadway, Beyonce during the tribal sequences of the Deja Vu music video, and the character animation of Triplettes de Belleville into a blender with just a sprinkling of Mantan Mooreland and Foxxy Brown and an ill advised bottle of red food coloring. Now, poor that over the Fox airwaves set to an incessantly catchy yet truly awful song not meant to be song by someone with a gospel upbringing and pronunciation issues, crank the volume all the way up to 11 and bring in some back up dancers.
It's the closest Fox will ever get to Cirque de Soleil, that's for sure. Honestly, if it were on the CW, it would have been the setting of the Top Model runway finale. That crazy, campy, and out of touch with reality.

When you describe Tonya Harding as "clearly insane" all I can picture is her in a wig and bathrobe singing showtunes to Jerry.

Robert,
That was a great descriptor, and I'll definitely check out the raw footage later.
I watched the first season of AI religiously, even going so far as to accompany a friend (who was acting as a babysitter) to the first season reunion tour. I'm not proud of it, but I'll admit it wasn't a terrible experience. But as everything is wont to do, AI lost it's appeal when it bought into it's own hype. It's become too much of a beast, and I'll never be able to forgive anyone involved in the show for assisting in the formation of Daughtry.

Jesus CHRIST serena...nothing makes my blood boil more than when rape victims are blamed for the assault, and when their sexual past is used to humiliate them. I am so stabby now.
Posted by: Julie at May 15, 2008 5:45 PM
Holy Christ, what is wrong with humanity?! Thanks for bringing that up Serena, people like this shouldn't be place in a position of legal authority. Does he think that this woman went out wearing a "Rape Me" sign? Fuck me, humanity sucks. I think I just lost all faith in humanity. Depression. God Damn Depression. If I had them, this would be the part where I go out with Pitchforks and torches. But those are hard to come by.

The exclusion of Super Chicken and ATHF from that list is nearly as bad as the inclusion of Captain Hero and Mystery Men. Which is, uh, not nearly as serious as the shoddy treatment of rape victims in our society. (cough)

Hey gang! I likes pickles. I also like vodka and peach lemonade. I also like that after four of them, my liver done gone got up outta my body and headed for the bus depot. So, in closing, should any of you happen to be travelling by bus within the next couple days and happen to see a liver wearing size 10 1/2 loafers, please take him into custody and send him back home. I'll be needing him until I'm at least forty-five...
Hijacking the thread? fuck that. There were twelve posts when I left work and there are twelve now. I types as I please and after all, I got me a renegade organ y'all...

Okay then, I'll hijack.
"Silence In The Library" (a Steven Moffat episode no less) is not being broadcast on May 24 because of Eurovision?!?!
Happy fuckin Memorial Day weekend.

Damn, where's The Tick on that list? This blow against justice will not stand.

When did PETA EVER have any credibility?
Remind me of precisely when that was.
Posted by: Ben at May 16, 2008 9:23 AM
Jay: Blame the Fug Girls. They've been lobbying for Eurovision coverage for eons. And while the choice of broadcast is horrific, there is a wonderful tackiness to Eurovision. When I am eventually arrested for multiple crimes against idiots I can't tolerate, my defence will be the 25 years I was subjected to Eurovision before I escaped.
Posted by: PaddyDog at May 16, 2008 10:12 AM
You guys can hijack the thread all you want. I'm just so glad no one pointed out that yesterday I said it was Wednesday when it was really Thursday.

Lady, I don't even know where I am half the time!
I'm going to see Tom Waits! It costs too much! I'm all mixed up inside!
Posted by: Jay at May 16, 2008 10:43 AM
HOLY SHIT Jay, I am so offended. The Fug Girls will be hearing about this one. Eurovision notwithstanding, give me my Doctor! Although, who here had mixed feelings about the doctor's daughter?
