American Idol 7 - Was The Ascot To Blame?
Wha-wha-what? The hot Aussie slice of beefcake has been sent packing tonight on American Idol. Yes, Michael Johns wound up in the bottom three along with Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson. Was it because he kept singing Queen or was it his penchant for wearing scarves twisted into an ascot/cravat for the last two weeks. Read the full recap at Entertainment Weekly's site at this link. Next week, I'll be back to regular recapping here on the blog.I got in late from the CRUX anthology reading -- which was excellent -- and many thanks to Alice Lovelace, Karen G. Theresa Davis, Kodac Harrison, Tamara Madison and all the other contributors who performed tonight.

I almost threw up in my mouth (to quote you) when the group sang a Jesus song tonight. WTF?? You're lucky you tuned in late.
Are they going to sing an Islam song, a Jewish song, an Athiest song?
However, Coll, plenty of charities would be hurting if it weren't for the synagoges, temples, churches, etc...like it or not, I'm certain Fox felt if they "pandered" a bit, they'd get more donations...

I'm glad that butthead Michael Johns is gone. Him and his dumb ascot. All I could think of each time I saw him was Carly Simon singing "...your hat strategically tipped below one eye / Your scarf, it was apricot / You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte..."
Believe me, though, I never dreamed that assclown would be my partner, that he'd be my partner, and HE'S SO VAIN, and this song is definitely not about him.
Good riddance, Seacrest! BTW, Idol Gives Back made me cry, particularly when I saw how huge Ann Wilson has become.
Hey, don't hate on Ann. She's been a big girl since the 80s -- they just hid her behind walls and put her in the shadows in the videos. Check out "Never" and "There's the Girl" or in "Alone" where they put her up in the dark balcony in soft focus and made her hair bigger than her entire body. And just close ups of her face...a veil. You Tube for yourself and see. All of us can't be skinny bitches.
I wasn't keen on any of the songs the actual Idols sang on Idol Gives Back. I hated their version of Seasons of Love. I did love Carrie Underwood's version of "Praying For Time" though.
