1,818 views By AnneFrancisco What’s worse than a results show? A results show for an AI performance week that I wasn’t all too thrilled with. In retrospect, Shania Twain week was bland for me – no one had a true “moment” (although Casey came close). And while I like Shania, I could have maybe done with an all-Reba night. [...]
293 views By AnneFrancisco AI Shania Twain week! I usually hate country week – something tells me I am not going to like t much more when it’s just “Shania Twain” week. Country music even more narrowly defined. Yea.
The intro for this week’s show is over the top; everyone lined up while Ryan describes them: “A Painter, a [...]
329 views By AnneFrancisco Idol gives back…and it takes away. As in, it takes away 2 hours of your life and never gives it back.
Obama is in da house. And he tried to imitate Randy with “you’re all my dawgs” stuff. Michelle Obama comes across much better with her chiding Simon to be nice.
Now, you all know [...]
254 views By AnneFrancisco It’s Inspirational week! I usually hate this week on AI – it usually inspires nothing in me but to gag for the poor song choices and over blown dramatic vocal acrobatics that invariably follow. But I do love Alicia Keys! She has a great voice, a great spirit – if anyone can save AI inspiration [...]
142 views By AnneFrancisco Results show. God how I hate you. We get the recap of last week and the Big Mike save (and again, we get to see how unenthusiastic the other Idols are that Big Mike made it through – but, less I share the wrath of Rainey – Go Big Mike!). Adam puts all into perspective: [...]
203 views By AnneFrancisco I’m watching American Idol this week with a very special guest star – Rainey Quinn! Eight-year-old AI savant Rainey is the daughter of our AI Pool, Amy Gentry and boy does she love Justin Beiber. I will be asking her opinion on all of the Idols as we watch and relaying them to you, my [...]
142 views By AnneFrancisco Confession to make – I hate results shows so much, I actually “watched” the first 23 minutes while drinking a glass of wine, reading the latest Newsweek and NOT WRITING A DAMN THING. Then I realized I should probably write something…so I am pausing it during Jason Derulo’s performance (admirably not lip-synched or pre-recorded) to [...]
223 views By AnneFrancisco Back from Dreamgirls! It was a good show, thanks, Amy! On to AI: when the Idols first walk out, all I can think is “Really, Siobhan? WTF are you wearing??” and that Casey looks hot in a white suit jacket. Aww – Macca actually recorded a nice little good luck note! But that was kind [...]
169 views By AnneFrancisco I went to lunch a week or so ago with a new friend, one with whom I am discovering I have a TON of common interests, and we started reminisce about Anthony Bourdain’s first tell-all book, Kitchen Confidential. I really see that book as a turning point for me. Before I read this book (in [...]
133 views By AnneFrancisco It’s 10:05 as I type this – I’ve knocked out a few emails, made a few calls, and I now find myself able to take a moment and watch the results show from last night. Even if I am late with the recaps – you will still get the recaps! I am adamant about giving [...]
