(Though Im given to understand that shes mending well.
Feel better Debbie!)
(In the din, I couldnt tell if she let free a caw caw!
But I doubt it.)
Cory then asked Anoop if his LA Dodgers shirt was a Manny Ramirez jersey.
The second row was Megan, Alexis, Sarver and Jorge.
(Pop EW Poll!
Which of those shorthand names had you stopping for a second to recall who s/he actually was?!)
Seriously, Alexis doesnt even come up to Giraudsshoulder.
Smirkelstitskin was quite pleased.
Cory introduced Randy, who made a point to swing by the Idols and say hello.
By this point, Kara had worked her way back to her chair.
It was at this point, oddly, that I realized Paula was nowhere to be seen.
20 seconds to go, and still no Paula.
Ah, Debbie, see what happens when youre not around to crack the whip?
(Do you see, Debbie?Do you see?)
(Why do I keep repeating her full name?
Because you have to.
Try thinking about Alicia Keys and then say just Alicia.
It sounds wrong, doesnt it?
It has to be Alicia Keys.
Even Ms. Keys doesnt work; that sounds like an elementary music teachers name.
But I digress and I know how some of yall justlovethat.)
I began to realize precisely why my On the Scene recap colleague Whitney Pastorek brings earplugs to these things.
But I did pick up on one curious detail.
As the PAs set the stage for Jordin, Kevin Bacon walked over to greet the Idols.
Danny disappeared for a tick.
Kevin Bacon chatted up Paula.
Kris and Danny made idle chitchat while staring into the middle distance.
Seriously, guy Idols, way to be chivalrous.
Keep it up.)
(I told you: Ears.
TURNED TO ELEVEN.)
Anoop even jokingly began crawling across the catwalk behind the judges table to get to Corys bag oLambertian goodies.
At least, I think he was joking.
When it came time for Adam Lamberts trip back home, the native San Diegoian (San Diegan?
stood a good six feet at least from Ryan while watching his video package.
taffy-pull of a results show.
Then it was Adams turn to be ushered into his Nokia Theater moment.
But you know who was pretty much just as thrilled about Adam as they were about Kris?
Thats right: The Allens.
(What was that again about Kris not having a killer instinct?)
Only it came up Adam this time.
So they shot it again.
And it came up Adam again.
Finally, Kris came up heads, but the camera wasnt on.
The sixth time was finally the charm, and we were all sent home.
Yes, Ma and Pa Allen, your son really did it.
So, PopWatchers, are you happy with the results?
Were you surprised to learn Adam was a Katy Perry fan, or that the feeling was apparently mutual?
Do you think Paula, Kara, et.
did Danny any favors by pimping him so early in the show?
What the heck is a big ding dong anyway?
