American Idol Killed My Boredom for a Moment
I am happy that this would be the last week that I’ll be having the
dreaded 4AM schedule. Top that with rest days so boring, I could only
do smack. Just like today.
Started the day still with the whole keep-off-carbo-loaded-and-starchy
foods mentality. Just had (instant, ugh) coffee and a piece of hopia
for breakfast. Stayed in the room practically until lunch time to
resist any more temptation from our pantry. Ate about half a cup of
rice and roast beef for lunch and 2 scoops of ice cream (I told you
dessert is my weakness!).
I downloaded the latest episode of American Idol as soon as it was
available through Auntie Torrent. I do this because my cable provider
doesn’t have Star World so I can just catch it from the boob tube, and
I’m supposed to be asleep already when it shows on the local channel.
Now it’s just a matter of staring at the monitor until it finishes
(well about 2 hours). In the meantime, I went out to have my weekly
head shaving sessions, still fighting the urge to eat.
Finally my download was over. No more dead time for me. My parents
would probably know by now that I should be alone for my eyes are
literally glued to the screen.
Okay, so it’s No Doubt, plus Donna Summer, plus Cyndi Lauper, plus The
Police, pop night on American Idol. I wasn’t really looking forward to
the theme because it was so vague but then I liked how Gwen Stefani
bashed some of the contestants, haha. As always, Melinda Doolittle
delivered but I think that performance should just be saved for Disco
Night. Hers and Lakisha’s performances were in another spectrum.
Anyway, she’s forgiven, with a voice as infallible as that, we can’t ask
more.
I never heard any male sing No Doubt’s "Don’t Speak". But if it were
any male who’d sing it, it would be Chris Richardson. He doesn’t really
have that big of a voice and it’s like a well decorated cake that’s
just flat. Pop/RnB is definitely his genre. He did this song with quite
good justice and added his own mix into it. Favorite male performance
of the night. Justin TimberFake still. Love the jacket, though!
I like Haley and her legs but Sanjaya (or his ‘do) is the show’s biggest mockery. Nothing more can be said about him except: Girl Power! Hahaha.
Now I should find a way to doze off…for sure I’ll be a zombie tomorrow.
Ciao!
