Idol Top 10 Women

I’m sitting here…just got done with Deal or No Deal, and am now watching a DVR’d American Idol (10 women tonight)…what the hell did Katherine sing? If I didn’t know any better I’d say she is gone…I didn’t even recognize the song! Kinnik brought the tempo and a good tune for her voice. I can see some Urban Country….LOL  
  Lisa Tucker: Young Lisa, girl has some range, did a nice job. Again though..song selection for the women last week and this week…YIKES! Song selection…are these people actually PICKING these songs….Melissa did a great job on that tune, however does anyone KNOW the song? Heather and Mariah Carey/Hero: She did a nice job, but she paled in comparison to Mariah, I agreed with the judges and Simon is on his game…great analogies tonight…so far anyway. Donna summer was about 1/3 energy it needed to be done right. I didn’t feel it for Brenna, it was a tired rendition. Oh, did I mention the song selection tonight? EH?
  OK, Paris, the girl who I think has the chance to win the whole thing…what song will she sing? Will we know or recognize it? Here we go…..ok…Bette Midler…for Paris…she has great heart shaped silver earrings. I feel like breaking out the lighter and swaying, but that could set off the sprinklers in my apartment. Great range, just not the right song for her….next up Ayla….did I mention song selection….range is decent..if I KNEW the song….she did shine of the lot so far tonight. (Hope she gets the votes tonight) ok, Kellie is up, another one of the favorites and the feel good story this year…with some Bonnie Raitt….she has great stage presence, WOW…that twang in her voice….ooooh. The best performance of the night, in my opinion…The first last week, goes last this week. Mandisa to close..Dogjaw joke…very good, may have to pull that on Mark from KZEL tomorrow…oh, girl going on next week…Faith Hill…wow…goosebumps….whew! ok…someone came to play…Mandisa….

  Judges: Randy, Paula and Simon were about 85% right across the board tonight in their assessment. Simon had some great lines. I can only hope the song choices are better next week. Top 10 men tomorrow night.

Satin Love Valentines Night and MORE!

I'm getting ready for Valentines Day and Satin Love at the Hilton. I've emceed for them each time they have performed there and love every second of it. The best thing is it's always the same people at the event. Security/sound/etc.
Looking forward to a great night, albeit a Tuesday and a middle of the week kinda show. Hope to see you there!
I'm not usually one to sit and watch the Olympics and be content, but I am interested in the Figure skating this year, since Michelle will not be a part. Thank goodness for my DVR - I'll also be able to catch Simon's comments tomorrow evening and report back on Wednesday. I've had some issues with my blog on here which I hope are now resolved.

till next time....JP

At the HOUSE, Hangin' with Clive...

I’m sitting here this evening, just finished HOUSE…sorry Sela. The Grammy’s are tomorrow, and as I blog I am listening to the Clive Davis pre party, just heard Rod Stewart, sounded pretty good. Idol was decent…loved the guy who had to go to the restroom…he came back and sounded worse. Tomorrow…on to hell week.
  I am attempting to get over a sore throat that won’t go away. I’m trying to Tylenol it to death. So far it seems to be working, and it hasn’t gotten any worse, which is a good thing. I need to be ready for the Truffle shuffle with Jodi from KVAL on Sunday morning. I have some movies this week to get to including “Hitch”, and “Monster in Law”, the latter of which I have yet to see. (I know, what’s wrong with me.) I will be posting reviews of both if you haven’t seen them either, so don’t feel bad.
Clive’s Grammy show goes on with Chris Brown…..

Steelers, Ducks and Gorillaz! Oh My! (Mag Rag too!)

    Aaah, kicking off another rainy week. The weekend was great, if your not a Ducks or Seahawks fan…(My Eagles will be back next year)…LOL, yeah right. Hopefully it’s not another rainy week. Magazine wise there is a great breakdown in TVGuide for the upcoming Olympics in Torino. (Opening ceremonies are this Friday). Including daily breakdowns starting Friday.
  
   Entertainment Weekly: Double Issue, breakdowns on all OSCAR films, directors, actors, and the like. Plus a breakdown of the Sundance Film Festival and DVD’s this week include: Elizabethtown, Kirsten Dunst – and 13 Going on 30, a new release from the last one a year or so ago. The return of some of our favorite shows this week including HOUSE, and LOST, we find Sawyer’s backstory this week, plus some amazing Grammy Performances Wednesday night, including the Gorillaz and Madonna(HUH??) opening the show….should be interesting.

  So, favorite Super Bowl commercials? Let me know in the “Comment” section below and I’ll try to get to them on the air.
