Idol Review - 2/9/2010

I hope you enjoyed the first and second days in Hollywood. Let the Ellen-fest begin! It's the count-down to the top 12 girls and top 12 guys. It really does start to get better now. Not good ... just better than the gawdawful past few weeks. Sorry. I just could not stomach those shows. At least tonight, they spared us the really bad auditions.

Did you see Ellen's sexy carpenter boots? I have to get Sue a pair of those! I must say, as much as I don't care for Ellen, she did not annoy me too much. Maybe because she was not being comedic (if that's what you call her act). I think she'll get a little more relaxed in her role as the season goes on and she may be a good addition after all.

What especially makes watching this bearable is watching it a half hour after it has started recording on the DVR, so I can speed through the commercials. This is the first show this season I have not had to speed through the performances, or run screaming from the room yelling, "I'll never watch this $@^#&!# show again!" Yes, you know the feeling.

I was impressed with several of the performances. Mostly the ones who played guitar and sang. A couple did it very well and if they make it through the group competition tomorrow, they may get to the top 24. I have not seen this year's American Idol yet. Have you? Did you see talent that will make it to the top 10 and to the tour? Too early to say just yet, maybe.

I think they just may be setting us up for a great fall (Humpty-Dumpty-style) tomorrow night. They spared us the drama queens and the worst of the lot tonight. But, do you remember the group in-fighting and backstabbing last year? We may be cringing at the drama and hype tomorrow night. Just keep repeating, "It will get better. It will get better."

If you watched, give us your comments! And if you didn't watch, Get with the Program! We have a date to watch the top 10 on tour next summer!

Yours in idolatry,
Mr. Mallow
