American Idol: Live Blog (look at me, I'm a vapid american!)

It's American Idol! And the contestants are singing songs from the year they were born. Which means the 80's (besides one from the seventies and one from the nineties). 70% of the music from the 80's gives me a headache; we'll see how this goes.

8:03: I started late, Ramiele is up first... um.. yeah, she's boring... and little

8:04: "heart's Alone" The mosh pit it swaying... I don't know how much swaying I can handle

8:05: she's a really good shouter, I'll give her that

8:08: Ramiele's voice went "bye bye!" I don't get why they let toddlers on the show...

8:09: catchy mac air ad! gosh I love that song, la la la la laa

8:12: Jason Castro, it's his birthday! Happy birthday Jason, you're cute.

8:14: audience, stop clapping off beat!

8:17: Simon disses "busking"

8:18: I diss Simon, with my fist!

8:19: boring girl (syesha) will be up for the next couple minutes, I'm going to get dinner

8:24: Did watch her sing, but apparently she did well. Sadly, she was at the start of the show, so no one will remember. Sorry Syesha.

8:30: the mobs swaying again... *hand twitches*

8:32: Chikeze sings. Nice job, but I didn't really like the song. Dont really like any of these songs so far. Either way: Chikeze is cuddly.

8:40: Brooke sings "Every Breath you Take" one of my all time favorites. Don't really like the rendition, miss the awesome guitar riff. But Brooke seems like one of the few people on this show I could have an intelligent conversation with. I'd buy those tickets.

8:49: Ryan asks audience to help design their Coca Cola product placement ad campaign. Sure Ryan, anytime!

8:51: Michael Johns "rocks me" Lucky guy, he was born in a decade with good music. I'd buy tickets to see his Queen cover band play.

8:55: Hey Carly! You're Irish! Get off my Idol! USA FTW.

9:05: Archuleta has a girlfriend? Producers, do you want him to loose? You're really killing his omgomgomg be-my-boyfriend-david!! demographic.

9:15: Kristy Lee Cook sings "God Bless the USA" Trying to bring out the patriotic vote, because vote-for-talent vote wasn't phoning for her.

9:17: Judges do not dare diss a patriotic song, for fear of being black-listed.

9:18: Simon correctly notes, "very clever song choice"

9:24: David cook, sings "Billie Jean" in 6/8!!! Ten seconds in and WOW SO GOOD. Almost couldn't recognize the song at first. Only great performance of the night.

9:27: clip reel rolls. I realize this show isn't that great. I dont listen to any of these songs (save a few). Feel like I wasted an hour and half. You probably feel like you wasted a couple minutes reading this live vlog, huh?
