BB9 – Down to Final Three – April 22, 2008

April 22, 2008 emjay217 Leave a comment

What a horrible horrible way to get to final three.

Before tonight, I wanted Sharon to win POV, take herself off and vote Adam out. Then have Sharon win HOH and get rid of Ryan so that Sharon was the winner of BB9.

Tonight, Ryan fell for Adam’s lies and didn’t use the POV that he won. In the end, Adam voted Sharon out of the house.

Sharon was gracious and exited the house in a calm manner and always positive.

HOH competition is under way to determine the final two. Water sports!

Top 6 – Andrew Lloyd Webber Night – My thoughts…

April 22, 2008 emjay217 6 comments

Prior to watching: I am definitely worried about this night. My thought is that they should have done an all-encompassing Broadway night and less specific. I think ALW is dated and too old-fashioned. I hope that American doesn’t get bored with the irrelevant music of the night (oh, im so funny).

Andrew Lloyd Webber scares me. I am trying to think of what animal he looks like. HELP!

It should be interesting to see if the contestants can bring “WORDS WORDS WORDS”.

More to come…

Syesha Mercado — “One Rock & Roll Too Many” from Starlight Express

Syesha is so cute! I think that she wants me; not sure though. Syesha needs to BRING THE HOUSE DOWN!!!

Here goes. Holy crap, how hot is she? She has such a great voice and is so utterly comfortable on the stage. I must say that I truly enjoyed that song even though I have never heard it before. Apparently roller skating musicals are not my thing.

Randy digs. Paula loves. Simon is turned on. AMERICA needs to vote. She is my favorite! She needs the votes. I keep getting through on her line! Not good!

Jason Castro — “Memory” from Cats

Rumor has it that Jason is sick. Then he is “sick” for choosing a ridiculous song. Lets see how this pans out for Mr. Stoner.

Mr. Castro is dying slowly. I have never understood the love for this song. It frankly makes me want to vomit. Jason is talking most of the song, he has a huge fan base though, so it probably doesn’t even matter what he does. I wasn’t a fan tonight.

Randy was hating (smart man). Paula is spinning his mess into a positive. Oh, and Randy thinks he is pretty. Simon has it right so far tonight. I hated when my parents made me sing in front of people. :)

Brooke White — “You Must Love Me” from the film adaptation of “Evita”

It is now time for the talking horse. Vocally, she shouldn’t be on the show anymore. Andrew Lloyd Webber tells it like it is. “She has no idea what she is saying”

So, Ms White forgets her lyrics! And then, makes them starts all over again. Vote her off! Can we?!! PLEASE?!

So when she goes on. She means none of the lyrics and shakes through the whole time. Maybe the tears are from knowing she screwed up. Carole King, it is time to go home. Thank you Paula for mentioning the starting and stopping. Simon didn’t mind that she stopped. Brooke is trying not to talk to much. She must have been reading my blog.

David Archuleta — “Think of Me” from Phantom of the Opera

ALW tells him to open his eyes. I agree. He didn’t mention the the lip licking though.

David rearranged the song. He made Think of Me sound like a AC/Pop song. I just can’t get over how effortlessly this boy sings. I actually liked the song, but wasn’t blown away.

Randy thinks David A. is the one to beat. Paula thinks he was perfect. Simon thinks it was one of the weakest performances. Maybe it will end up David – David finale.

Carly Smithson — “Jesus Christ Superstar”

First off, SLEEVES! Secondly, DRESS! She’s listening. Now she just needs some Lucky Charms and head on back with her Irish Eyes.

Will Carly save herself finally? Why don’t I like this girls voice? I might be one of the few people in America that thinks she is “eh”. She definitely rocked it out and had a little personality in this number. I wish I could like this former flop.

Randy thinks she was good (not the best). Paula loved it with her man hands. Simon thought it was one of best of the night.

David Cook — “Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera

Before watching, this could potentially be very good. Cook needs a hat. Do you think ALW likes being called LORD? I would think that would get annoying; maybe call him GOD or something.

David Cook, I am not sure what to make of you. Some of the song was really good, the other parts were eh, then the end you were rocker again. Lost? Hmmm. You will be just fine after that performance.

Judges for the most part liked him.

My thoughts for bottom three (this is too hard): Jason Castro, Brooke White, Carly Smithson (or my girl, Syesha but I am thinking positive).

I think Syesha might go home since I was able to get through so many times. I am so sad. :(

Robin Sparkles! How I love HIMYM!

April 22, 2008 emjay217 Leave a comment

So last night on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, we revisted Robin Sparkles.  First off, I just want to say that this show is my favorite sitcom on television. Its got clever story lines, great characters and witty humor. Neil Patrick Harris plays Barney, one of the greatest characters on TV.

So anyway, last year HIMYM introduced a secret past of Robin (Ted’s ex). Before coming to the US from Canada, she was a Canadian pop star similar to Tiffany. Barney got ahold of the video online and they watched in hysterics. The video, “Let’s Go to the Mall” was a hit online and was viewed by millions.

Last night, Robin met up with an old flame she dated one summer during her pop star career. By summer, she means Canadian summer (the last week in July, or was it June). James Van Der Beek (Dawson) played her washed-up ex. By the end of the show, we got to see the b-side to “Lets go to the Mall”, called “Sandcastles in the Sand”. Once again, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER did not fail me.

This hysterical video features James Van Der Beek, Tiffany (yes, Tiffany!) and Alan Thicke. HAHA.
