Pretty much the only good thing I can say about the whole theferrett mess is that at LEAST I haven't seen anybody refer to it as "Boobgate". Yet.

In other news: Did I seriously just see Alison Janney in the audience at American Idol?

PREPARE FOR VITRIOL



- I don't think Syesha is as bad as everybody else thinks she is, and I think it sucks that the judges pick on her every time with this whole "why do you choose these songs WHO ARE YOU" thing when people like Proud To Be An American didn't get yelled at for their one-note country-fried jingoism. That said, she was off-key by a mile.

- I don't like Jason Castro. But that's fine, because he likes himself quite enough for the both of us (y'all, I still haven't recovered from when he nattered on and on about how cute his own baby pictures were). He limped and whimpered through that song. Also, HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THAT CATS WAS ABOUT CATS WTF

PS to Andrew Lloyd Webber: don't say shit like "i never thought i'd see that song performed by somebody with dreds ... oh and a boy" if you don't want to sound like a racist, clueless moron. Also, go to karaoke in Manchester or something sometime, and you'll probably get to hear your songs sung by boys quite a lot.

- AHAHAHAHA BROOKE YOU SUCK. The fact that she chose that shitty song written for shitty Madonna!Evita pretty much sums up what I think of her and her stupid "adorable" worried singing-face.

- David A ... have I ever mentioned how much I hate when singers throw useless, unnecessary runs into songs in order to substitute for actual human feeling and intonation? Have I also ever mentioned how much it enrages me when audiences lap up that kind of idiotic torturing of a songwriter's work, wrongly perceiving it as some sort of "talent" on the singer's part? I have? Okay, then I won't go into it again.

- Carly was a better Judas than the dude who actually played Judas when I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar last year. I am so glad she chose that instead of All I Ask of You, even if it meant I had to suffer through ALW lecherously going on and on about "Irish eyes" while secretly weeping inside over Sarah Brightman divorcing his ass.

[Aside to fellow Canadians: man, if the kids singing "Everyday People" in that Smarties commercial were on the show, the judges would have to send everybody else home.]

- ALW claims the Phantom is "sophisticated"! ahahahahah! DUDE LIVES IN A SEWER.

David C actually impressed me! I usually find he's a little too Creed and a little too nu-rock, but I was waiting for him to fuck up that big high middle note and he totally didn't. The end was kind of meh, but probably better than the way it is in the original.

Paula sounds exactly like how Carmen Electra played her in that Teen Awards skit. "You ... have a unique style. I ... wish you ... luck."

In conclusion: Happy Earth Day, everybody! We can do all our part by killing Randy Jackson; every time he brays, "Check it out!!!" we lose a square metre of ozone!!!!

:\ I wish I could say the same. The post directly after yours is subject-lined "boob-gate". HOW ORIGINAL.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

OH MAN. I am sorry for your pain.

*tenderly kisses your forehead*

[indirajames.livejournal.com]

This is all horrible FOR ME MY PAIN! because I seriously really hate the word being used a lot, so much that I can't type it, and I just want to scream "BREASTS BREASTS BREASTS" in everyone's faces, but last time I did that, I got arrested.

Mention it MORE!-- I'm using too many capital letters-- Because that irritates me too. I guess these are the same people who prefer auto-tuned music, eh? Style over substance, etc. I'm going to call up Barack Obama so we can be elitist together, brb.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

ahahahahaha I love how your entire comment is stuff we have both seen on the internets today but completely independently of each other!!! Plus, YES to how the horrificness of this whole stupid mess is multiplied by them choosing to not even use the word "breast", because heaven knows it should be closer to the spirit of "funbags" or "sweatermeat" than anything A REAL WOMAN HAS.

You, me, and Obama can all go sit at the elitists' table, where people use apostrophes correctly and nobody does extraneous runs EVER.

[overloved.livejournal.com]

i would like to join you at that table, even though i don't type with capital letters.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Those who manage to get their intense rage across with all-lowercase are also welcome! Grab a chair!

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

DUDE LIVES IN A SEWER.

AHAHA you know all I can think of is Martin Prince.

Also, dang! I missed out on ALW songs!! A ding dang doo.

Oh also I enjoyed the Black Donnellys fics lots and lots, but mostly the Kevin one. :D :D I'm not sure if I can reconcile myself to Donnely slash yet, AHAHAH OH THE IRONY.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

And his electric synthesizer!!

Oh the ironing of you not wanting brothercest. Wait until we watch it again! Unless that makes you not want it more, ahahahah!

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

YES I totally want to see it again, eeee! I was rereading your email and somehow completely skimmed over the fact that you bought it. I think Rome is making me all heady.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

WITH GOOD REASON.

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

what mess? Huh?

Carly! Irish! :D

HahHAHa HE DOES LIVE IN A SEWER. A SEWER OF LOVE.

anyway, David C was smokin! verry sexy, imho.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Oh, dude -- if you do choose to wade into the mess, be prepared for bullshit (http://theferrett.livejournal.com/1087686.html). SO AWFUL.

A SEWER OF LOVE.

AHAHAHHAHH WIN WIN WIN!!! *mwah*!

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

I started to read the whole ridic mess but frankly it was tl;dr and I just didn't have it in me tonight to get upset. The bits and pieces that I've seen on my flist lead me to believe that someone named theferret is a gigantic bag of douche.

EDIT: okay I'm reading it now and REALLY? I'm just going to rate everything a big FAIL right now and go to bed. blah.

Paula is insane. That's the only conclusion I can come to. Totally and completely insane. It's a wonder she's allowed out of the house.

Comparing David C to Creed just made me cry a little. ;p (but I'll fully admit that I've totally drank the Kool-Aid and am nuts over the guy.)

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hee hee hee! He's not all as bad as Creed, to be honest -- but I peg them as the Exact Moment when I got sick of hearing "rock voice". *g*

EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT DUDE AND HIS IDIOCY IS FAILDOG. omg I was reading it at work and had to stop because I was grinding my teeth and leaning closer and closer to my monitor in RAGE!!

[strippedhalo.livejournal.com]

I kind of love Jason Castro and really hate David C (dude fills me with RAGE just to look at him, I don't know why, but it's the same thing that happens whenever I see that Daughtry guy), but I agree with you on their songs tonight. Also everything you said about David A, YES.

The Smarties commercial made me cry a little bit. I DON'T KNOW. I'm blaming it on hormones.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Heh -- I don't hate Castro so much as he's just not my cuppa. *g* And homg YES about the David C = Daughtry thing!! I never noticed the weird sort of similarity between them before!!

David A needs to just fall off the earth and realize his true destiny of being an inert orbiting body.

The Smarties commercial often makes me cry TOO! I am with you there, sister.

[chootoy.livejournal.com]

I want the Smarties version of "Everyday People" by Sly and the Family Stone song So.Much!!!

Not starting on that anatomy gropefest thing or my blood pressure will skyrocket again!

Idol 1: Can I PLEEEEASE slap that 'worried-singing-face' off her stupid face!?!?!?!?! (or send her home)

Idol 2: I practically scream at the television when Paula farts out her fucking pointless rambling inchoherent comments. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT DRUNKASSFUCKTARD!?!?!?!?

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

That version is SO GOOD! I sing along with it every single time it plays!!

Can I PLEEEEASE slap that 'worried-singing-face' off her stupid face!?!?!?!?!

AHAHAHHHA I am so happy that you hate it too. It gives me a warm feeling in the sub-cockle area for some reason. *g*

As for Paula ... man, I used to wonder if the impersonations of her being all insane were going too far. Now I don't think they've gone TOO FAR ENOUGH.

[melisus.livejournal.com]

Carly was a better Judas than the dude who actually played Judas when I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar last year. I am so glad she chose that instead of All I Ask of You, even if it meant I had to suffer through ALW lecherously going on and on about "Irish eyes" while secretly weeping inside over Sarah Brightman divorcing his ass.

It was definitely a better song choice and I had high hopes. I mean, she sounded great, but I'm very miffed that she messed up the lyrics multiple times.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I know! I think most of the Idols didn't really have a good idea about showtunes a'tall; by the end of the show I was just hoping that there wouldn't be any more grandstanding stop-starts and whatnot again!!

[overloved.livejournal.com]

fail andrew lloyd webber. FAIL FAIL.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

SO MUCH OF IT. He can see his song sung by a woman IN A BIG MATTED CAT COSTUME, but seeing a person with dreds blows his mind?!?!?

[mskatej.livejournal.com]

I stopped watching AI a few weeks ago because I didn't like any of the singers, but that doesn't mean I don't want to marry this post. ♥

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! I only watch it sporadically myself -- when they do Beatles or musicals -- and I'm delighted that you found my enraged ramblings entertaining. *mwah*!

[coquettemoves.livejournal.com]

ALW claims the Phantom is "sophisticated"! ahahahahah! DUDE LIVES IN A SEWER.

YOU JUST MADE ME CHOKE ON MY GUM. ILU.

PS -- God, the teal deer of the day makes me want to claw my eyes out. This could be influenced by the fact that while walking to work this morning, some guy leaned out his car window and yelled, "NICE ASS" at me. Oh, you young gentlemen with your pretty words! [eye roll]

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

ILU TOOOOOOOO! Especially because you have just taught me "teal deer", which I figured out after only FIVE MINUTES of staring at it in puzzlement. ♥!!!

Oh, you young gentlemen with your pretty words! [eye roll]

So sweet! My first time was once when I was walking to school; I said "good morning" to a (grown-up) guy and he responded with "nice tits". Those are memories you just *treasure*.

[coquettemoves.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA, "teal deer" is my faaaavorite ever. I think I need an icon of an actual teal deer for when I feel I'm posting something overly long and retarded and/or replying to shit that I feel is overly long and retarded. As you can guess, I'd use it ALL THE TIME.

I said "good morning" to a (grown-up) guy and he responded with "nice tits".

"...and then we got married!" I swear to god, it's like a fairytale.
