Idol Chat with Adam & Beth | Top Ten

March 21st, 2012

Adam: Well, friends, we’re down to 10. I’m so excited that Jennifer Lopez is wearing a leotard and a leather couch and that Tommy Hilfiger is on to explain to us why that’s awesome. But mostly I’m excited about Billy Joel night. Are you a fan of the Piano Man, Beth?

You know, I am. And the older I get, the more I like him. My favorite song of his is “Uptown Girl.” Hey, Adam, if you want to have a good time, go to You Tube and watch his videos. Oh man, those 80′s were cray-cray.

Adam: Diddy is mentoring the contestants on how to sing Billy Joel songs. I’m already confused. I’m about ready to quit right now. Deandre maybe should have joined me, because he’s singing Only the Good Die Young into the ground. The dry, boring ground. I didn’t believe a word he sang. Wrong choice, Curly Sue.

So, listen. You could just mute the sound and this performance could easily be passed off as a performance of “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” what with the patterns and the flourescent colrs and the bouncing. And also, muting it would make the horrible sound stop coming out of his mouth. GAH.

Hey Adam. You know how I eat a lot of nachos?

What? That’s all. Just saying I eat a lot of nachos. So, Erica Van Pelt is up and she cut her hair off and colored it black all thanks to Tommy Hilfiger telling her to do so. Good thing he didn’t tell her to jump off a damn bridge. Also, I’m glad she didn’t say she Idolized DeAndre because we don’t need two crazy-haired contestants. Regarding her performance, I thought she sounded good but I was bored. No really. I was bored.

Adam: Erika looks good in black, especially with the purple light dancing along the crest of her new raven locks. She’s still oversinging, but her song choice showcased what’s best about her voice. But she still goes on run without purpose or direction. She’s still pancake syrup to me.

Joshua. He’s never heard She’s Got a Way. So . . . sing that one? Sure, makes total sense. You know what also makes sense? Singing it in a tight black suit sitting backwards in the swamp by Yoda’s house. This whole performance makes complete and total sense. A vocal explosion of a quiet little meaningless song. Sure.

Beth, I’ve got a hole in my temple from all the head scratching I just did.

That sucks, Adam. Here. Have a beer.

I’m just thinking that he’ll never really go off key. He started a tiny bit rough, like in the first line but after that, Joshua hit every.single.note. I thought it was good.

Skylar Laine. Those people standing around her awkwardly clapping? Horrifying. This performance was pretty horrifying, too. I have no other words except I think Idol needs to make sure she’s not really Rachel Dratch.

Adam: Diddy said he felt like he was in church. I did too . . . kinda bored. Tommy Hilfiger apparently thought she’d feel more confident dressed as a designer rain storm. Oh, Rachel. You looked awkward up there, kinda like Debbie Downer. Seriously, Skylar just made me sad tonight. This show has been fantastic!

If the contestants are any indication of the voting audience, there’s no harm in singing a song no one knows because NO ONE KNOWS WHO BILLY JOEL EVEN IS. So the fact that Elise sang a song I don’t even know might not matter. I liked the performance. But I can’t remember it (and she’s still singing).

Remember back in the day when the Idol judges rarely did standing ovations and now it’s like at least one person gets one per show? This bothers me. C’mon, judges! Show your hate! Compare their voices to screeching cats! ugh. I miss Simon. In other news, Randy’s beaded, preschool brooch is off the hook.

Oh, Elise sounded good! She did. ABOUT TIME.

Philly Philliperson is up next. He’s singing Moving Out. I super love this song, Adam. I’m not sure How I feel about Dave Matthews Junior singing it except that I actually REALLY liked it. My favorite performance so far tonight. oh and Randy just said those that do should and shouldn’t do couldn’t wouldn’t do should. Wise words.

Adam: Phillip Philharmonic scared me a little tonight, Beth. I thought he was going to be killed by lasers. I happen to completely disagree with Randy. I thought he should have taken the advice of everyone, because that song dragged for me. I think he’s a caricature of himself. I can’t listen to that again. I must be in a bad mood.

Beth, I should probably just stop talking about the performances at all. Honesty? Honestly? I don’t get that, Hollie. If that song came up on shuffle in my iTunes, I’d skip that business in two seconds. But I LOVE Randy’s color. The polka dots are my new best friends.

Whoa! Hollie is Wonder Woman! Fantastic! And not only is she Wonder Woman but she’s aged 42 years since her rehearsal. Her voice is so good but I’m seriously distracted by the off-beat finger tapping and the ridiculous outfit. Someone should punch Tommy Hilfiger in the face.

Heejun is up next! He’s so funny! And his voice is so good! But you know what ruins it for me? Glasses without lenses. I hope he wears lenses tonight. To be honest, I really love this song but he seemed to yell a lot? I don’t know, Adam. He confuses me.

Adam: I’m glad Heejun had fun with the performance, but I’m as disappointed as Steven was that he turned it into a joke. I noticed he has lenses sometimes and not others. I presume he’s concerned about glare. Not so much about hitting all the notes. Still, I wasn’t bored! Heejun is my bosom buddy.

Jessica is singing a song originally performed by Billy Joe. I have no idea. Beth, can you pass the queso? I can’t move.

I’m so sorry to hear you can’t move. Of course, here’s the que … oh wait. Sorry. I ate it all. Plain chip?

I seriously loved and agreed with everything Diddy said when it came to advising Jessica. He’s a smart fellow, that Diddy is. Okay, so you know how during the season finale, the winner has to sing that horribly corny song once they’re crowned Miss American Idol? That’s what this song feels like for me. She has amazing vocals but I found it to be really corny. LOOK! A STAND OVATION! I’M COMPLETELY SURPRISED.

Oh, Colton is up. Your favorite. He’s singing Piano Man tonight. You know, it’s all very dramatic and he really does have a good voice but every time he makes his voice break, or squeak or whatever it is, it makes me twitch. I can not handle it. I do love the piano in this song. He did well tonight. Besides the whole Peter Brady-ness of it all.

Adam: You know what the amazing thing about Colton’s performance was, Beth? He wasn’t even planning to perform tonight! It was just supposed to be his sister! Can you believe it? He squeaks too much, you nailed it. His false modesty is fooling no one. On this couch, at least.

Who’s going home?

Beth says Erika

Adam says Hollie

What do you guys think? YES. YOU.

Idol Chat with Adam & Beth | 11 finalists

March 14th, 2012

So, Adam. Let’s just get this out of the way. I am waaaay tired. I’m really full from eating pizza tonight but I’m eating nachos right now to try to stay awake. This show better be REALLY good.

Ryan started out by saying that the one guy with the low voice was kicked off of the show which is a little sad because I liked his voice. Whatever his name is. Was. Whatever, I don’t care.

Adam: I join you in the not caring. I may have cared earlier in the day when you broke the news to me, but Tangerine J Lo and Pimp Steven Tyler have renewed my apathy for such things. I’m ready to be wowed. I need to be wowed. Whoa’d even.

So, Phil Phillerson Philly Phillipson Phillips is up after after having some kidney stones removed. He’s singing Hard to Handle which sounds good and he is less Dave Matthews-like tonight, which I definitely appreciate. He sounded good.

Adam: I’m in full agreement with one thing Steven said: “Watch your melody.” I like the quality of his voice, but Phil is pretty boring melodically. And his faces creep me out. I also don’t like the fact that he was born the year the Black Crowes recorded this song. No, not one bit.

Next up: Jessica Sanchez singing “Turn the Beat A. . . yawn.” Why? Why, Beth? Why did she choose such a lame song? Why is she dressed up like Michael Jackson’s sequined glove? Why did Randy steal an outfit from my 4th grade teacher? So much confusion for me.

I remember last week when the judges loved her and gave her a standing ovation and we were like “huh? It sucked.” That was funny. Anyway, enough with the memories. I just can’t believe she’s sixteen. And I can’t believe how much I hate this song but at least it’s 750 times better than Gloria’s version of the song. Which is not saying much.

Heejun is hitting it hard with a Richard Marx song, Right Here Waiting. I’m stunned, no, SHOCKED that he chose this song. This was not my favorite performance of his at all. In fact, if next week he walked on stage and sang If You’re Happy and You Know It in a kermit the frog voice, that would be better. GAH. Hated it.

Also, hated Richard’s hair.

Adam: I don’t know how Heejun managed to take the sappiest song from my high school days and make it even sappier. Congrats, Heejun. Somewhere in the ’90s, a room full of teenage girls is leaning on your piano in tears. Everyone else in time and space, however, just barfed.

Elise just took on Al Green. It’s always a good idea to sing songs telling America to keep you around. Let’s Stay Together: good. I’m Going Home: bad. Good choice, Elise. But as much as I like her voice, I didn’t like what she did to the song. More nuance, less vocal chord ripping, if you please.

So, Elise sang a pretty song tonight. Ho-hum. The end.

DeAndre Hair is up singing Endless Love. Oh, how this song makes me want to go to a wedding. Wait a minute. HOLD THE PHONE. I just realized he looks just like Fergie. Whoa. And that observation was a million times more interesting than that song.

It’s uncanny.

Adam: A) You know how I feel about Mariah, but: Luther and Mariah’s version of Endless Love sucked ass. Let’s just get that out of the way right now. B) DeMo needs to sing easy songs. Not songs without risks, but Easy Like Sunday Morning Lionel Ritchie songs.C) I didn’t know if he was being more Luther or Mariah, but I think I fell in love with DeAndre a little bit tonight . . . so I guess I have my answer.

Adam:Wait . . . Jimmy has a phone that plays songs? How is this possible? MAGIC! Okay, I’ll take Mariah collaborations for $600, Alex. Goodness, Shannon is singing One Sweet Day in an inside-out rhinestone jacket and the shorts Mariah wore in Glitter. The song was no better than that movie. Holy crap that was sucktastic.

I have got to get my hands on one of those new-fangled phones with the music playing, OMG. Hated this rendition. Hated her shorts. And her blazer. Why is everyone wearing sequins? I feel like I should have worn something other than my pajamas and queso-stained shirt tonight.

Colton “the skunk” is up next. I can’t believe he went out to dinner with my boyfriend Chris Daughtry. He’s performing a song by White Lion. Oh gosh, I just don’t know. There were some aspects of that song that were good but mostly I can’t stop thinking about how Tangerine J-Lo is wearing a shamwow and I can’t wait to hear about how much you hate him. That’s my favorite.

Adam: The thing I loved about this performance is how you could tell the song was coming deep from that smoldering vacuous pit where his soul would have been if he hadn’t traded it for hair product and misplaced arrogance. But yeah, I’ll never think about that as a White Lion song again. It’s just a hilarious little tune sung by one of Satan’s acid-washed pubes.

Adam: Deep breath. Okay. Erica sang Heaven. I love her for being born before I turned 20. However, have you ever eaten pancakes and accidentally put twice as much maple syrup as you intended on them? Yeah, give them to Erica. That’s her style. It’s too much, Erica! Too much.

I’m feeling a little bad that I’m so negative tonight. I guess I’m just waiting for someone to knock my socks off and it just hasn’t happened, yet. I’m starting to wonder if it’s going to happen at all this year. Erica was good but I’m pretty sure I can sing that better. I’m going to go wake the kids have them take a listen.

So, we said good-bye to Jermaine. I hate that they made their confrontation public. Idol will certainly do anything for ratings. Ugh. I’m angry. Not because he’s gone but because they had to televise their confrontation.

Adam: Yeah. That was awkward. I didn’t need to see that. Meh.

Adam: It’s a tough transition to go from sad confrontation and exploitation to the eternally smiling Skylar, so I’ll just do it. Skylar can sing. She could stand to dial back the occasional shouting and dial up . . . the coolness? I keep waiting for Simon to explode out of the audience and call her old fashioned. Because she’s kind of old fashioned. Like shoulder pads and poofy bangs.

Yes, shoulder pads! You nailed that observation. Skylar has such a good voice. When she sings country, I’m reminded why I don’t love country music but I can’t hide from the fact that she has a great voice.

So, at this point in the show, I’m convinced that this show will never end. Especially with the crawfish demonstration. C’mon Idol, I’ve got a massaging bed waiting for me, dammit!

Joshua Ledet is up and singing When a Man Loves a Woman and let me tell you something. If you had asked me when this song was written, I definitely would have said “1972″ not in the nineties. I hate being old. Anyway, super soulful and probably my favorite performance tonight.

Adam: I’ll be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I’m a Joshua Ledet fan. For my money, it doesn’t get any better than when he sings, “When a Man Loves a Woman.” Office Space references aside, my favorite part was his admission that he just wanted to go backstage and eat. That’s what it’s all about.

Hollie sang The Power of Love. This Celine Dion song was bigger than Hollie. You know what else is bigger than Hollie? A small Blizzard.

Oh, Adam. You crack me up. This is a big song but I was mildly impressed until that last note. WHOA. That was rough.

So, who’s going home?

Beth (WHO WAS RIGHT LAST WEEK THANKYOUVERYMUCH): Shannon

Adam: Shannon Migraine

Idol Chat with Adam & Beth | 13 finalists

March 7th, 2012

Adam: Can you believe this is the 400th episode of American Idol? Also, can you believe it’s not the 400th episode of the season? We took a week off to allow America to eliminate 213 extra contestants, and now we’re down to 13. Beth, let’s get to the important details: what do you think of J Lo’s black and white satin track suit?

Whew. I have a few thoughts on J-Lo, actually, the first thought is Wow, J Lo is wearing a black and white satin track suit and second is I hope she doesn’t have to go to the bathroom.

Adam: First up is Joshua Ledet with Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” (and really, all Stevie and Whitney? Great songs, but impossible to improve upon). I like what Joshua has to offer vocally, but I’m not sure he has any unique style. And Randy said flavorless instead of flawless, which makes me think his reactions are on a teleprompter. Lame.

You really pay attention, Adam. It’s possible I was distracted by nachos and that’s all. Nothing else. OKAY I’M LYING, I WAS PLAYING DRAW SOMETHING WHILE EATING NACHOS. sue me.

I like Joshua but wasn’t blown away by him.

Elise is singing Whitney’s I’m Your Baby Tonight, I think I can safely say that I haaaated, HATED Elise’s performance tonight. I kinda can’t stand that she reminds me of Mariah Carey (we know how I feel about Mariah Carey.) And all of that crap about not knowing the song makes me want to grab the microphone and bang it against her head. You’re on Idol, Mariah. GAWD.

Adam: Part of me still loves Mariah . . . okay, my heart does. But let’s not get into that. I also kinda liked Elise’s performance, but she was NOT confident with it. Sing what you want, girl! And any time a contestant chooses a song they don’t know that’s also super fast? Dumb.

Adam: Jermaine is a mystery to me. He’s got a nice voice, but I don’t think he gets it. A couple times he looked like he was afraid a trapdoor in the stage would open beneath him. But I do love this: he sounded different than Stevie (obviously). So while I’d never call his version better, there’s a reason to listen to it instead of the original, and not just to make fun of him.

Agreed. I really enjoy him, I’m not sure why. I mean, I don’t think he’ll win (heh, watch him win) but he’s different in a wonderful way. J Lo is right, he really is a sweetheart. Also, either he is Jolly Freaking Giant or Ryan Seacrest is an American Girl Doll.

Erica Van Pelt is singing I Believe in You and Me. She has that nice, smokey voice. Wait, is that candy on her dress straps? Anyway, her voice is deep and it’s a little shocking to the system but she has really good control and I like that she sounds a little different. Also, I’d like to say that Randy has fur on his collar.

Adam: I agree with Mary J. that EVP has a meat and potatoes tone, but there’s waaaaay too much gravy on it. She’s just too over-the-top for me. And if J Lo keeps saying “goosies,” I’m going to get the pukies and the stabbies and the crazies.

Adam: Colton Dixon is a hairy little genital wart. Beth?

oooh, I love, LOVE the song Lately. It cracks me up that you hate him so much. But listen. I don’t think he did a terrible job singing it. To be honest, I liked it. (Take THAT Mariah lover.) I do wish he would cut the voice cracking out.

Ryan Seacrest is such a cute American Girl Doll tonight. Makes want to put him into an American Girl Doll bed with American Girl Doll blankets and tuck him in with an American Girl Doll teddy bear.

Shannon Magrane is up. It is positively shocking to me that she has a strong voice but I have noticed numerous times during this performance that she was completely flat and also wow, this song was probably just a little too big for her. She may be distracted by her 12 inch heels, which I totally understand. I’m the same way when I wear my 12 inch heels.

Adam: Oh, Shannon. She could have done much better, but this is what happens when you ask people to sing Whitney on week 1! Terrible choice by the producers. I’d also like to take this moment to point out that Randy’s wearing a pin Colin made in pre-school today.

Adam: I don’t care what song Deandre sings, I’m just glad Milli Vanilli had a baby who can do his own singing. In addition to having crazy dynamic vocals and gorgeous curls, Deandre has the uncanny ability to choose songs I’d never ever ever want to listen to and sing them incredibly well. I wish he had gone with a Whitney tune.

I know I shouldn’t focus on his hair it’s just that I can’t help it. Is it possible that during season one of American Idol when he was just six years old he said “when I grow up, I want to look like Justin Guarini.” Yeah, he’s a good singer but I don’t really want him to stay on the show much longer, I don’t know why. Blame it on the rain.

Skylar Laine is performing Where Do Broken Hearts Go. She’s turned this song into a country ballad. Here’s the thing about Skylar. First, she has such a strong voice, it’s like she has to make no effort whatsoever to sing. Second, she totally reminds me of Rachel Dratch. Weird.

Adam: Holy crap, yes! She is Rachel Dratch’s Reba impression, if she had ever thought to do one. I’m a little concerned that Skylar will win this thing. She could use a Clay Aikenesque makeover maybe.

Adam: HeeJun is my favorite person on this show ever. But for as funny and delightful as I find him (I just hugged my TV . . . again), his voice is a little boring. I just don’t feel like he’s connecting with me, even when he stuck his tongue out at the end.

It’s shocking what a good performer Heejun is. I agree with Steven, Heejun’s voice is really special. HOWEVER, I thought about going back and listening to it again and thought “nah, that would be boring.” So, there’s that.

Hollie Cavanagh is up. She looks about twelve years old but man, she can sing. Confession: finger tapping on a microphone is distracting and I don’t get it. It’s also usually out of beat. Basically, it’s dumb and I wish it were banned from show business. So, to recap, her singing performance was pretty good but her hand performance was DUMB.

Adam: The fingers were all I could look at when I wasn’t wondering if she was Gwyneth’s little sister. I think she sang well, but I kept thinking she was trying to flip me off. Also, can I just say that Whitney Houston was the. best. ever. at connecting emotionally through her songs. As great as her voice was, her eyes may have been better. I always felt like she was singing to me. I’m so pissed she’s gone.

Sigh.

Okay, Jeremy absolutely nailed the first phrase of the song, and I think I might really like him. He’s good, and not just for a cute little 8 year old.

Yeah, he’s cute and has a really good voice but there is nothing unique about him. He’s like 20 contestants that have already performed on Idol before.

Gosh, this is really tough. Jessica Sanchez has taken on I Will Always Love You, I give her a lot of credit for trying but FOR ME it showcased her weaknesses which was surprising because I didn’t really think she had any. But apparently the judges disagree based on the standing ovation they are giving her. I mean, it was good but it was not perfect.

Adam: See, this is what happens, Beth. Jimmy and Mary J. Blige give superb advice. We hear how good the contestant sounds when following that advice. Then they get on stage and say, “Aw, screw it.” She started well, and then started crapping all over the song with unnecessary runs that completely ruined the quiet, delicate moments of that song. At that point, the big notes mean nothing, especially since she didn’t really nail them. But hey, it’s week 1, so she’ll get through.

But it could have been amazing, and not just in the judges’ minds.

Adam: Phillip Squared sings and plays with a lot of talent and a lot of fake anger and unnatural humor that leaves me not particularly enjoying his singing. I’d like his interpretations if I felt at all like it meant anything. I don’t get it. But I still hope he stays long enough to figure out something better.

I just can’t get passed the fact that he’s just like Dave Matthews. I agree that this show needs him, he’s definitely set apart from the other contestants but he’s just.like.dave.matthews. This bothers me.

Who’s going home?

Beth says Jeremy

Adam says Mariah

Beth says she hopes Adam is right.

Idol Chat with Adam & Beth | Season 11 begins!

February 22nd, 2012

Well, Adam. Here we are, another season of American Idol. Another year investing 432 hours each week to this highly addictive show and yet, we all sit around and ask ourselves the same question at the start of each new season…

“Who won last year?”

No, really. Who was it?

Adam: It was Scotty McNohat. Silly boy never took your advice and still won the whole thing. I still have “Baby lock them doors” stuck in my head.

That’s right. Darn fool. I have to admit that I haven’t spent too much of time watching the auditions, I feel a little sad about this except I don’t. However, last week I watched a whole two hours and DAMN THERE IS SOME TALENT THIS YEAR. This has piqued my interest. Now, I’m excited.

Adam: We’ve got this whole thing covered. I watched way too much of the auditions and missed all the talented people last week. And here’s what I’m wondering: will there be any singing this week? Funny clothes? Silly statements like “You can cut the intensity with a knife . . . literally.” Some dude’s literally going to cut somebody. I can’t wait!

I always knew we were a good team.

So tonight we are finally narrowing it down to 24 contestants.

Adam, I can’t decide if I’m scared if the contestants will fall into the water or if I sorta want them to. Thoughts?

Also, these intense moments of silence before telling the contestants whether or not they made is through is truly something new for American Idol.

Adam: Oh I definitely want them to fall into the water, especially since it would help break this newfound silent intensity never before seen on Idol. I say, if you don’t make the top 24? Eaten by sharks. That’s how Ryan Seacrest makes it feel it will be anyway. Let’s make it so the singers are actually singing for their lives.

Can I just say that even though i don’t care much for his nasally vocal blasts, I hope Creighton Fraker sticks around for awhile. Because I like using his name as a cussing substitute. “Chreighton FRAKER, I stubbed my toe!” I want this to last.

Adam: I’m at Neco Starr. I sure hope he makes it through. This show simply doesn’t have enough Jheri curl. Or American flag pants. Gah! He didn’t make it? Creighton FRAKER.

Now, Neco’s hair was really shiny but nothing compared to J-Lo’s green dress that reflected onto her face causing her face to turn sparkly green. I’m thinking she should have warn a nice cotton bib to stop the reflection. I should totally be a celebrity stylist.

I think it was a good decision for Niko, Necho, NECO to go. Because of the pants.

Adam: Caleb, Caleb, Caleb. How the crap do you forget the words to “Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll”? Nobody forgets those. Just like nobody forgets Tom Cruise dancing in his underwears.

Reed Grimm is up – I like Reid, he’s super fun and his last name is actually my Mom’s maiden name so if he wins then we are totally related. But only until just after the season finale, just before he becomes old-news. Last week, when he danced, he was NOT a good dancer, sorta like Elaine Benes on Seinfeld. I like that he plays the drums, too.

Adam: Drummers are crazy. Reed Grimm makes Animal on the Muppets seem subdued. I can’t believe he’s into the top 24 except that of course he is. Crazy sells. Also? He’s really good. I gotta talk to my mom.

Adam: Random observation: why do I get the feeling that by the end of this season we’re never going to want to hear another Adele song ever? Girl’s catalog is getting abused on this show.

Really? Who’s Adele?

Adam: Okay, when they do the recap of the contestant’s entire life from birth to final Hollywood week performance? I can’t take it. Don’t show me Chelsea as a little girl and then taunt me with sending her home. That ain’t right, Steven Tyler. Whew, she’s in. My heart beats for another day.

It’s Idol’s job to toy with every emotion possible, Adam.

Adam: Baylie Brown . . . I’m still heartbroken from the time she got cut three seasons ago. I can’t watch this, Beth. Let me know what happens.

Do you seriously remember her?

Adam: Yes! And yes! No kidding. I jumped up and shrieked a little when I saw her show up this season. She was the cutest when she was on before and I really couldn’t believe she left. I don’t remember many castoffs who didn’t break the top 24, but I remember her.

Adam: Beth, I know how you feel about cowboy hats, but I’m really praying for this Richie kid to literally fall into a burning ring of fire. Burn, burn, burn, ring of fire.

I AGREE WITH YOU. But last week’s performance of his was crazy, crazy good. It has left me feeling alone and confused. Damn him. But mostly, I want him to leave and I really think last week was a fluke. Phew. I’m pretty pleased that he’s been cut and I hope he decides to never, ever try out again.

Adam: Heejun: I’m really sweating. Ryan: What are you sweating? Heejun: Mostly water.Me: I love you infinity, Heejun.He really has quite a personality. Funny fellow.Adam: I love Heejun so much I want to learn magic so I can turn him into a cinnamon roll and eat him.That may be one of the strangest things you’ve ever said here on Idol Chat.

Adam: They’re doing it again, Beth. They’re showing me Jessica, singing in the womb, and then suddenly she’s in Vegas. I’m just not comfortable with this for some reason.

I think the sensation you’re actually feeling is called OLD AGE. Watching a girl who started watching Idol at the age of five who is now trying out in Vegas is um … WE ARE SO OLD.

Adam: I wonder what it’s like to have skin so perfect that it even looks good in an ultra close-up shot in HD. I’ll have to ask Jessica that.

Now, Phil Phillips? Don’t do the Dave Matthews guitar dancing thing. It’s unpleasant.

He may not have danced very nicely with the guitar but dude can SANG.

Adam: After being sent home last year, Colton Dixon decided to pretend like he wasn’t going to audition this year. Then his sister got sent home. And then Colton pretended to be sad she wasn’t around to see him beat her out. And then I puked out my soul and choked on the intense hatred for this awful, awful piece of spoiled garbage.

Colton making it through to the top 24 is the worst thing to ever happen to a group of two dozen anythings.

So, you aren’t a fan then? I don’t appreciate what he did to my Coldplay song. That was just plain rude. But apparently you have bigger issues with him than how he sang the Coldplay song?

Adam: Brielle looks uncomfortable, but I’m not sure if it’s the pressure of the moment, the absence of her mother, or those crazy shorts. Since she made it through and reunited with her mom and still looks uncomfortable, it was obviously the shorts.

There’s really nothing fantastic about her. I don’t expect her to stick around here for too long, which is good because her Mom is orange.

Adam: This dude is an SNL character waiting to happen. He sings well enough, but I’m uncomfortable having to look at him. I’d rather watch a Jacob Lusk cry marathon than see 30 more seconds of Adam. I just have a mad case of the heebie jeebies.

Seriously, Adam? A Jacob Lusk cry marathon would be the death of me. Why do you want me to die? WHY, ADAM?

Adam: Oh look! A cliffhanger! How un-Idol of them.

You mean we won’t know if Adam will make it to the final 24 until tomorrow? Chreighton FRAKER, that sucks.

Stop in

February 22nd, 2012

Hi friends.

I just wanted to stop in for a few minutes to say hi and update you all on a few things.

First, I’m working on something hugely huge right now. Something I’ve never worked on before and the only reason why I’m keeping it on the down-low is because it’s not 100% right now, it’s like 89.9999% and I don’t want to have to explain WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT BIG PROJECT if it didn’t all work out. (although, I do believe that if it doesn’t work out, something else will, so there’s that.) Anyway, it’s taking up a huge chunk of my time leaving zero time for blogging. Or showering.

Okay, maybe showering sometimes.

First, here’s a photo of Clara and Eli I thought you’d like. Can you believe Clara be five months old next week?

Can you believe Eli will be two next month?

WHOA.

I love how incredibly uncomfortable they both look in this photo.

Anyway, on to business.

First, I created a Facebook page for my blog JUST IN CASE it breaks again (God forbid), this will be a great place for communication. A little bit like a meeting point in case of emergency but not quite as dramatic or important. But, I’d love to see you there.

Oh and are you a fan of Beth Fletcher Photograhpy on Facebook? I love love love seeing you friends pop up there, so feel free to check it out. I actually update that rather frequently.

Second, Erin attended one of my You Capture Workshops and wrote up a review for it. I’d love it if you checked it out. (p.s. her words make me cry. I wish you knew how hard I worked to make everyone feel just the way she did!) I’m offering another workshop on 3/24 and am also offering long distance workshops (one-on-one) for those that are interested. You Capture Workshop info can be found here.

Okay, gotta go. Have a great day.

See you TONIGHT for Idol Chat! Yep, Adam and I are doing it again!
