American Idol Recap: Tuesday, February 26: 70's Night, But Which …

around every everywhere girl grab guy world

OK, let’s get one thing cleared up before we start the recap of the show…
YES, Joanne did bungle and let the pre-taping cat out of the bag last week. She said “Sunday” (the day she and the ladies actually taped their performances), then quickly attempted to cover it with “I mean, Wednesday” (referring to the day the show was broadcast.)
YES, as confirmed by my behind-the-scenes AI contact, the performance shows at this point in the competition ARE pre-taped. Currently, the boys are singing for their supper on Saturday, the girls on Sunday. Do I think some transparency of this fact would have been appreciated by the general populus before Joanne’s tongue trippage?
Of course. But then, I’m a big fan of the truthiness.
I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising, given the current number of contestants and the extreme amount of work to be done between shows: Picking songs, rehearsals, Vommercials, hair, make-up, photo shoots, interview packages, schooling for the young ‘uns, you name it. Oh yeah, they try to sleep a little too.
Does it take a little of the excitement away from Tuesday and Wednesday nights right now? I think so. And according to all the emails I have received from AI fans asking if the pre-taping rumor is true, they do too.

    I like American troops, Iraqis, and Heath Ledger. It was bad enough that Heath Ledger died. Did you really have to make it 422 times worse?

    Fuck Dickbush.By the way there’s a study out that says Dickbush lied about Iraq.

    Fuck your troops: My dog died last week. You all should stop caring about the deaths of people who you are familiar with and instead focus on the loss of a canine who you never met, know nothing about, and didn’t even know existed until now. God, for once can you people PLEASE stop caring about things which are relevant to you and instead start caring about things which I think you should care about?!/sarcasmBut seriously, though, RIP Shaka. You were a good dog :(

    Our desensitization to tragedy in the television age has granted us the inability to express compassion for one man. From there it’s easy to care about no one.

    I like dogs way more than most people. I hope Shaka had a nice life.

    How does Heath Ledger dying and everyone missing his skillful acting equate to not giving a “FUCK” about the troops?

    I think it was more a statement of rage than a sincere proclamation that Heath = evil.
