The only ones who really have a shot on American Idol 2009.
Anoop – wants to be an R&B singer; sang usher’s “caught up” but he’s got the laid-back balladeer style of a Luther Vandross. He has a rich voice and a sweet and seductive stage presence. The man is charming and will become a singer, and I’m certain that he’ll be a superstar with or without American Idol.
Adam – only used the same lyrics when he sang his funky-blues version of “Play That Funky Music White Boy” by Wild Cherry. And he broke it down in his own style, played with the audience and showed America that he is a pop star who is comfortable in his voice, body and element. And he was the only one who gave props to the musicians.
Lil – chose Celine Dion’s “I Surrender” not because she grew up listening to this song, not because she loves the song but because the judges kept asking for a crowd pleasing ballad. She didn’t grab my attention in the beginning but she grew on me and her hair was the bomb for her (I’m not suggesting that everyone go and get a Lil Haircut). On a side note, she did what the judges, not America, who will be buying the records, asked and they still gave her shiznitle. No matter how effortlessly she reaches new heights sing her voice alone, and it isn’t good enough for them because they won’t her to win and they’re using this lame attempt to make the public think otherwise.
Kris – was the final performer of the night. He sang his rendition of “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Whithers. Instead of playing the guitar, he busts out his piano playing ability. Performed well but he just plays because he loves playing, sometimes he forgets that he needs to connect to the audience. His good looks and talent just might be enough for people to him anyway.
Those with a shot if they can bring their game instead of just enjoying the ride.
Danny – “What Hurts the Most” by Rascal Flats. Danny rehearsed pulling out the emotion. He attempted to sing sincerely instead of screaming at the crowd. He started the song well but didn’t find a way to connect to eh audience. He did manage to give himself through his voice, once he closed his eyes, but I don’t know if he can truly continue to bring it.
Alison – takes a stab at No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak” while she plays her guitar at the same time. She played for the first time and he threw off her game. She is a sixteen year old, who vocally is much older, but she needs more training. She still has issues with tempo and her richness wavers in and out. It’s clear that she’s a passionate rocker chick but there are a lot of passionate people who have problems channeling their energy towards one focal point
Scott – “Just The Way You Are” by Billy Joel. This seems like an obvious choice seeing as how Scott is much more comfortable behind a piano. He often allows his love of playing the piano dominate his voice. I don’t think that he’s a bad singer but by continuing to do this, he presents his vocals as being less powerful than they really are. He doesn’t need to separate himself from his extended instrument; he just needs to have vocal moments, piano moments and conversations between the two at balanced intervals so that everyone can appreciate his gifts. This song choice was a great fit for him since Billy Joel is a singer/songwriter and that’s what he is aspiring to do.
The others.
Megan is beautiful but she sucks. Maybe she can sing but everything I’ve listened to her do sucks. This week, she attempted Bob Marley’s “Turn Your Lights Down Low”. She F-ed it up. I couldn’t even feel that she felt the song and she’s definitely not listening to the judges when they give her constructive advice. If American chooses her, they are definitely looking for beauty over talent.
Matt – is in the center. He isn’t bad but he isn’t great. He sang, “You Found Me” by the Fray. I’m sure that he sounds amazing in his garage or in front of his friends in whatever on a smaller stage in his hometown but in comparison to those that are developed in all the areas that will give any singer a shot at having the potential to have a vibrant career, he still has a long way to go.

AT&T U-Verse treats Public Access, Educational, & Government Channels like Second-Class Citizens
The latest AT&T U-Verse device is intended to make television channel selection faster than ever. People will be able to fly through the menus, and choose their channel of interest in a matter of 1-2 seconds. This holds true for all channels, with the exception of the Public Education Government (or PEG) channels.
It takes the average person more than a minute in order to connect with their PEG channel of choice. This will be one of several reasons that PEG channel viewer memberships will rapidly drop.
This is unfortunate since often times, it is the PEG channels that relay urgent and/or life-threatening messages to the local community that they serve.
With AT&T’s disregard for PEG, channels, cable television is looking at placing these channels in butt phuk Egypt, somewhere in the 900s. This means that citizens will have to PAY for local news that could potentially save their lives… if they ever find it.
The abundantly growing use of PEG channels amongst colleges and universities is also threatened, since these channel wills no longer be closed-captioned and students will no longer be able to record their classes and watch them at their convenience.
It’s unfortunate that mass technology is looking to streamline the nation and wipe out the small communities that define it in the process. The FCC will make the final decision on whether or not this feature will be adjusted tonight.

Where are they now...?
Some of my choices range from having completely disappeared to being just as active as ever. I made my decision based on the frequency that I see them on European television coupled with my own curiosity.
Delta Burke – was seen regularly as one of the stars of Designing Women, a television sitcom that aired until 1993. She still participates in a variety of television, movie and theatre spectacles when the role fits her but Delta Burke remains a successful designer and manager of Delta Burke Design, which is headquartered in New York.
Wesley Snipes – is an American actor, martial artist and film producer. His movie career took off after appearing as Michael Jackson's nemesis in the video “Bad.” Once his acting career was dominated by movies that went straight to DVD, Snipes started a security firm for celebrities with his brother. The duo tried this twice, both times having their company connected to a religious cult. Since the two weren't even able to protect themselves, their business was quickly pummeled. Snipes also has had problems with the IRS, most of which simply involve him forgetting to pay his taxes for several consecutive years. He has a second home in South Korea with Nakyung “Nikki” Park, who is the mother of his last four children.

Murder is MORE Acceptable than having small tits

Cynthia Sommer was convicted two years ago for murdering her Marine husband, Todd Sommer. She put a deathly dosage of arsenic in his food. Not because she didn't love him anymore, not because he was cheating on her and not because someone paid her to do it. Well, she did do it in order to obtain his life insurance money so in the end, someone did pay her to do it. She used this money to buy two things that she felt would truly complete her life: breast implants.
On Thursday, April 17th, 2008, she was in prison awaiting trial when forensics results came back stating that there were no traces of arsenic in his blood. Both organic and inorganic arsenic has no smell or trace and if the body is not checked within a short time after ingestion, the tests must be completed soon after ingestion or exposure; but I am sure that those involved were aware of this fact. Since she has already been to trial for murdering her husband, she cannot be tried again for the same crime due to double jeopardy. She is free to wave her tits where she pleases and openly admit that she murdered her husband for bigger boobs. And her implants do look damn good it's just what's on the inside that's messed up.

How to Avoid Being a 1-Hit Wonder, 101
Write one original song and cover the rest of your album.
Hook up with someone whose name is big in the United States as well as in Europe.
Use phrases that are simple but have double meanings.
Be so hot that people will buy your album just to stare at you.
Have a song that has slow repetitive lyrics so that anyone can sing along.
Remain as mysterious as possible so that people need to know more about you.
The life that the media captures should be just as dramatic as your music, and not more.
Have a subtle overlap of various styles of music in order maximize your airtime.
If you're going to dance, take moves from Janet and Michael Jackson.
And last, but not least, don't blame me if this doesn't work (even though I've seen this repetitive nonsense happen time and time again), I do believe that this is all that you need in order to be bigger than a one-hit wonder but definitely far less than the greatest.
