I almost didnt make it, PopWatchers.
For nostalgias sake, I mean.
The rest of the show, though, I just plain enjoyed.
But Im getting ahead of myself.
First up, a tally of the best signs: Archuleta is mo betta and… thats it.
The signage has been a massive disappointment this season thus far.
Yes, for reals.
!Are youcrying?!
Yes, yes she was.
I think Ryans hilarious fake out was plenty April fooling for one year, dont you?
directed atRyan for actually having to attempt the prank.
Could recruiting Simon to lead the campaign to Stop theIdolClapping and Waving actually be paying off?
But that, dear PopWatchers, was not the most obnoxious producer snafuof the show.
But that didnt stopmyrage at how blatantly the producers stacked the deck to get her intothe bottom three.
First, if you noticed, she got no lighting-packagelove.
Huh.Not so normal to see contestants out on the floor during anothersperformance.
And it worked; I canteven remember what Ramiele was wearing, let alone singing.
David Archuleta certainly had no problem connecting with the UCLA AlphaPhi co-eds standing in the mosh pit.
(Comparatively, my notes for Kristy Lee Cooks time on stage read asfollows: KLC.
That is all.)
We got treats, hechirped.
Oh, Jordin Sparksand Chris Brown pre-taping a take on their hit No Air?
By theear-splitting shrieks of the UCLA co-eds, seems like will indeedbe satisfactory.
Jordin and Chris took to the stage 20 minutes into the set-up and sangfull-throated through the entire sound check.
Its great to be backhere, Jordin chirped.
Im not used tothis, she continues, pointing to the mosh pit, crinkling her nose.
(Neither are we, Jordin, neither are we.)
How did everybody do?
Was ita good show?
Im sorry I missed it!
Maybe Jordin asking hergrandfather to stand at that exact same moment diffused the situation?
The judges came back into the studio except Paula, who got astand-in from the audience.
I mean that in a nice way.
It was late for me too, PopWatchers.
Ryan mentioned theresults during the pre-tape, but since Dollys the one performingtomorrow woo hoo!
Im guessing this probably means No Air willbe featured duringIdol Gives Backnext week.
And now its time to give the floor back to you.
Was MJ wasas scrumtrillescent on TV as he was in person?
