because you want to know: american idol finale pt 2

Ohhh man! What. A. Finale!!! First of all, THANK GOD KRIS WON!!!! Your American Idol= Kris Allen!




The show was pretty great, and definitely packed... And also definitely aiming towards middle-aged women, who probably helped Kris win big time. TONS of duets from famous singers with people from the Top 13. Here are some of them:

Kris Allen, Adam Lambert/Queen--> We Are the Champions



WOW! What a performance for the top 2 to do. It's crazy how they have such different voices, but they both sound good with Queen. [Of course, Adam stands out quite a bit..] And how precious of a song. ;)


Adam Lambert/Kiss--> Beth



Absolutely incredible performance, for sure. [And of course, the song is uber-fabulous!] When's the last time anyone saw KISS perform?! But what is Adam wearing? Metal, rhinestoned, wings? Or are they shoulder pads? And why did he call up the Spice Girls to ask to borrow their shoes? Yikes. Wardrobe change, please.


Allison Iraheta/Cyndi Lauper--> Time After Time



This girl is so incredibly talented, holy S. I can't wait to hear what kind of album she puts out. Cyndi sounded rough, but the idea behind it all was really awesome. I love this... A lot.


Danny Gokey/Lionel Richie--> Medley



I wish I could say "Danny should have been in the finale." He should have been.. But who should he have replaced? I'm not sure that he should have won in place of Kris, but maybe. Actually, probably. But who knows! All I know is he is an amazing singer, and did great with Lionel.


Top 13/Jason Mraz--> I'm Yours



I think this is a cool performance, but I wish it would have only been a couple of them, not everyone.


Top 13/Carlos Santana--> Medley



Again, I love this performance, but I wish it had only been Matt Giraud with him... And maybe Kris and if they had to come up with a girl, Alexis. Sometimes all 13 of them is just too much, duh.


The girls/Fergie--> Medley

Why do the girls sound way better than Fergie? And what is this look of hers?! My GOD she looks MISERABLE!! Seriously awful. Also, they had to dump her during Boom Boom Pow because apparently she forgot you can't say the S word on national TV. Idiot.


Kris Allen/Keith Urban--> Kiss a Girl



Absolutely amazing. This shows why he won! He sounds GREAT alongside of Keith. He's almost like a mini-me to him.


Honestly.. The highlight of the whole show, was when Bikini Girl got her award. No wait, that wasn't the best part. It was right after that:



OMG. Katrina's face is PRICELESS when Kara comes out there on the stage. I really don't think she knew ahead of time. She was not trying to give her a hug! AND!! When Kara ripped off her dress!! You go girl! I'm so sick of Bikini Girl's 15 minutes of fame! Kara took over the moment!!


As for the performances, that's about it it. Steve Martin performed a song on the banjo.... Weird. And they gave a duet to Lil... With Queen Latifah. Also random..

Everyone's really freaking out about the "upset." I guess I agree because I said from the beginning that Kris was the guy I liked that never had a chance in winning. I thought he was forgettable. Apparently not.

The best part about it is that when he was about to hear the results, he wasn't worried or anything. You could tell that he "knew" he wasn't going to win and that Adam had it hands down. When they called his name, this is the face he made:



Pure shock. He has got to be the most "boy next door" or down to Earth Idol ever, and I am so excited about it! Congrats, Kris Allen! I can't wait to write much more about you, and maybe even get an interview in the future. :)

American Idol, RIP... For now. Until I see you at auditions with my BFF C-ton, that is.

PS: Here are some pictures! Check out the band-aids Carrie is ROCKIN'! And Kim Caldwell looks great! Also, it's kinda crazy how Glambert is just proportionately a lot bigger than Kris.

the latest on ellen: 050509

I haven't given an update on Ellen in a while, and it's a shame! She hit her 1000th episode mark [CONGRATS ELLEN!], found out she's going to be in the December issue of O Magazine, and has had some fabulous people on the show.

Matt Giraud was on yesterday and sang "Let's Get It On." My goodness he could wet any girl's pants. I'm glad she got on the piano because it made me feel normal. If Ellen gets excited over him, I totally can.




Simon Cowell was on today talkin' about how he didn't like Kara at first, how he's single and looking, and who he thinks is going to win. It was pretty funny, actually. He's a charming fella, and definitely my favorite judge.



I'd date you, Simon. If you weren't like, old.


Black Eyed Peas performed today, too. They're good. Real good. But what the heck was Fergie wearing?!

It may be hard to see because I can't find an actual picture anywhere yet, but she had on this skirt/shorts thing. It was a skirt until the bottom where suddenly it had two leg holes. Like MC Hammer pants on crack. Very bad. Also, she had these extra long gold nail things on. Odd.

I've never really understood her, nor liked her when she's solo... But the BEPs... Them, I love.

Ellen I love too, obvi. Man I would give anything to go to her show.

overrated.

With the inspiration of Spike's Top 10 Most Overrated Celebrities and AskMen's Top 99 Most Desirable Women, I present to you my list of..

Most Overrated Females of Today

Honorable Mention: Scarlett Johansson

Okay, don't get me wrong, I think she's a great person, great actress, yadda yadda. And if we were simply going on that for this list, I'd never put her on here. Mostly, I did this on looks and I'm sorry, I just don't see the beauty in her. And I feel that without makeup, it wouldn't be pretty.

10. Fergie
This one is based a little more on talent. I don't really like any of her songs and I think they are ALL terribly overrated. I think her face is kind of pretty, but it doesn't stand out at me. So that's why I wonder why she's so far up everyone's list of hott celebs.

9. Gwen Stefani

Combine my reasons for Fergie and Scarlett, and you get Gwen. I don't think she's a HUGELY popular celebrity in everyone's eyes, but to some she is. I don't think her face is pretty, and red lipstick, though it's a trademark, has got to go. Also, her music was always best when she was with No Doubt. Since then, no dice.

8. Taylor Swift
A lot of girls are going to fight me on this, I feel. I'm sorry, but I just think she's overrated. I don't think she's terrible. I do like some of her songs, I think she's, eh, relatively attractive [though someone once said she looked like a rat, and I might agree.].. But I don't think she deserves the reputation she has. She's got nothing on Carrie Underwood. She's also pretty annoying sometimes.

7. Mischa Barton

This one urks me SO much! As an OC fan, I hated that she got all of the attention. Her face is not pretty, her body is WAY too skinny, and she CAN'T ACT! No wonder she hasn't gotten a real job since leaving the OC. [Good decision on her part.. not.] I just don't understand why every magazine is obsessed with her.

6. Sarah Jessica Parker
I'm sorry to all of the Sex and the City fans, but SJP is not attractive, no matter how you look at her. Her face is long, wrinkly, and just not pretty. Her body is slackin' too. What feature does she have besides putting ridiculous clothes together to look "fashionable?"

5. Cameron Diaz

Ever since people in high school sweated her, I haven't been able to understand why. Personality wise, I don't think I have any complaints. Looks wise, I can't find anything great about her. [Granted, I don't know that there is anything I hate, it just doesn't come together well.] Still, she remains near the top of every list.

4. Beyonce
Here is when I'm really going to start to get some haters. BEYONCE IS NOTHING SPECIAL. Her face is relatively pretty, and she's got a booty she knows how to shake, but for some reason, it all rubs me the wrong way. She has no variety with how she looks/dances/presents herself which bothers me. Also, her attitude of "I'm the best" has got to go.

3. Paris Hilton

I don't think I need to explain this one. She has no talent, yet she's on covers of magazines and now has her own reality show of people begging to be her best friend. WHY!?

2. Angelina Jolie
Now I've lost you, I bet. I understand people love her lips, but I don't. I know she has the "exotic" look or whatever, but I don't think it's a pretty one. I don't like how she presents herself either. She always comes off as too cool, or not happy, etc. It's just a bad vibe she sends off. [I am happy with AskMen, though, who rated her at 35.]

1. Kim Kardashian

Seriously, I get speechless when people tell me she's the hottest thing ever. HOW SO?! Who saw the episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians where she went to get all of the cellulite out of her butt? That's not attractive. Her face looks incredibly fake. She talks awkwardly. I heard she's nice, which is cool, but WAY too many people worship the ground she walks on, and I'm not feelin' it. I don't see any out of control sexiness about her. I see average. If that.


Please FEEL FREE to comment. Try and convince me I'm wrong. I can't say I'll change my mind, but you can try. I'd love for you to. :)

love,
elizabethany
