American Idol
So are you excited David Cook won last night? I am!! I think he’s the real deal and I think he’s going to have a good career. I thought last night’s results show was, once again, too packed and it really irritates me that there are 2 hours to make one simple announcement and they just can’t seem to get it all in within 2 hours! I had my dvr taping the show since I knew I’d be at our Sex and Get Out of the City Party at 7 Martini Lounge last night and I wasn’t sure when I’d get home. Well, I got home around 9:30 and started watching and just happened to accidentally hit the ‘live’ button at 10pm and, fortunately, caught the last few minutes that, of course, ran over the 2 hour time frame. So I did get to see David Cook’s reaction as well as his family’s reaction and his performance of the winning song from the song writing contest. When I watched the dvr back it cut off immediately after Ryan announced the winner. So, if that happened to you and you didn’t get to see everything after the official announcement click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce92M5WuyNY and you can see everything else.
A couple of observations from last night…the duet of the Davids singing ‘Hero’ was great! Very cool! I liked the duets between Syesha and Seal and Brooke and Graham Nash. And both Davids were great on their collaborations with One Republic and ZZ Top! Did you see Ryan get down and dance during the performance with Donna Summer? He only did it for about 5 seconds and then huffed and puffed his way to the sidelines to watch the rest of the performance. But that was funny! Also funny were commercials that both Davids did with their immitation of Tom Cruise in ‘Risky Business’! I was zipping through the commercials and happened to glimpse them and had to go back to watch the commercials. They were hilarious! The skit with Gladys Knight and the ‘Pips’ who turned out to be Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr. was funny, too! And I have to say it was good to see Bryan Adams. It’s been a long time and he looks great!
All in all, a good show. But, PLEASE, next year get it all in within the time frame!!!
