More ironic words have never been spoken. This show is anything but drama. Unless you count the increasing sexual tension between Ryan and Simon. I swear, during some point this season these two are going to come out as a couple. And were they so busy making out before air time that Simon forgot to button up his shirt? Anyways, on with the crap, errr, show.
As if Ms. Ross' discography hadn't suffered enough last night, in her actual presence they allow these dorks to further butcher sacred Motown hits during the cruel and unusual punishment segment of the show. Did they not see the MTV award show where a nonplussed Ms. Ross fondled Lil Kim LIVE on National Television? They should heed that warning. When Ms. Ross is displeased, she is not afraid to get physical. How many handlers do you think it took to keep her from opening up a can of whoop ass during this little gem of a performance?
Oh and it keeps getting better . THE FORD COMMERCIALS ARE BACK! YAY! I'm not even sure what that was all about. Oh, through the ages. Thanks Ryan, its now as clear as mud since I didn't see a single classic in that entire commercial.
Ok so it REALLY gets better now. They are about to announce the bottom 3. First one down - Brandon. Please, he deserves it. Next - Phil. WHOO HOO! There is justice. And we round it out with...Sanjaya slept in curlers apparently. Oh sorry, got distracted for a second there.
Oh and apparently so did the producers, because out comes the the Queen of Motown herself. Am I the only one who has noticed that Diana always seems to spend more time preoccupied with her appearance and her wardrobe than her singing.? I use the term singing loosely. Seriously, this is a NEW album? I would swear that Tony Bennett made this song popular sometime in 1962. Do they think that Diana is somehow relevant because AI's own Jennifer Hudson won the Oscar for Dreamgirls? Do I really need to count the degrees of separation here folks?
Ok, back to the task at hand. I always find it amusing how they manage to stretch what is essentially a 5 minute show into 30+ minutes each week. Ok seriously, they're gonna do it...any second now....ok...Shocker (not) - Sanjaya is in the bottom 3.
Also not shocking is the fact that Brandon is the one who was sent Home. Seriously, have you folks forgotten that this is a popularity contest and NOT a singing competition? Oh don't give me that. You know its true. Don't make me pull out the Tamyra Grey/LaToya London/Chris Daughtry card.
Until next week my little cabbages, when my prescription for the amnesia pill arrives.
