American Idol (Apr 27/28) That Don't Impress Me Much (or does it?)

[cailuj365]

She turned 17 while she was on the show.

Ohhh right, right, how could I forget the Danny Gokey birthday cake fight...

[my little pony]

Is Shania promoting anything

Jon Park, wait until she finds out he's gone

[Wyliefan]

Say what you will, I like Shania. Even though the woman English major in me wishes she'd use a few less exclamation points in her titles. She's got some catchy songs, and she has fun and doesn't take herself too seriously. Unlike Faith Hill, who makes me .

As for promoting, I hear she's working on new songs but hasn't got anything ready to promote yet.

Why did you remind me of that???? I had it all blocked out!!! The only cake event I had in my mind was from Rock Star that involved lots of boys in their underpants in a shower!! And now I've Danny inappropriately mauling Allison there instead!

On a more positive note, numbers and I are going to glitter the place up when Adam and Allison are here on June 10th. Sparkle on that, bitchez.

In random former contestant gossip, Jennifer Hudson stayed at my sister's hotel and quite the diva-esque list of demands. Including the room maintained at a certain temperature without the air conditioning being turned on. Babe, you're in Las Vegas. Without the AC, your room is in the low 90s.

She is fun. But that doesn't mean her music is a good choice for a theme on AI. I'm trying to imagine someone like Lee or Mike having fun with the Shania songs I know, and I just don't see it going well. Hopefully they'll find something that works for them. I actually am hoping that Crystal does a really fun and uptempo song because I'd like to see more of that side of her.

I'd like for Lee to do "Rock This Country"...don't think it was ever released as a single, though. (And David Cook would probably do it much better than Lee. Just sayin'...

Are there really enough to make an entire Greatest Hits album? I'm only aware of a few of them.

Shania's 2004 Greatest Hits CD has gone four times platinum. The last certification was April 2008 so the sale might be nearing 5,000,000 by now.

Man, I Feel Like a Woman.

Honey...I'm Home!

[Cyn]

Woot!! Here we go!!

Casey seems to have lost his flatiron....

Shania's not my cup of tea, but she looks great. Hopefully she'll be a good mentor. I didn't see her during the audition rounds as I avoid those like the plague.

PL, a lot of people with allergies (which can affect the voice) do not do well with air conditioning. They'd rather deal with the heat than the allergies.

And all of these songs actually were hits before she released the greatest hits album? Huh. Who knew. I didn't realize her career had lasted that long.

This really is going to be a trainwreck evening. Not that most of them haven't been.

[soxxy]

Lee did well on Still the One, however he seemed to hit some odd notes here and there.

[Cyn]

First up.....Lee Dewyze singing Still The One.

Doesn't sound too bad, but damn, did they borrow the singers from DWTS for backup? . Still, something was definitely lacking from that IMO.

I know that. But I'm not sure how the room was going to stay at 76 without the AC.

Lee is back to being petrified. He could've made that song interesting, and instead he just looked like he wanted to wet himself.

But I am guessing PL has the inside scoop on how divaish it was asked. Not that I would know why she would have that , but I am pretty sure she did

[my little pony]

my friend just called "who is this shania (she said it so it rhymed with tanya)," I thought Peter would enjoy knowing that

[rfisher]

Lee: You're Still the One. Shania doesn't look all that impressed. It was OK. Lee is a singer. He's not a performer.

Did she also request bathtubs full of ice?

I'm not sure he every really stopped looking somewhat petrified. I think the judges were just pretending that he was making great progress because they thought they had nobody else to back for the finale (and recording contract) besides Crystal.

[Cyn]

....And Ellen gives us the first "joke"/play on the Twain issue.

Thankfully there's no Mary Murphy screeching about a Hot Tamale Twain

That Didn't Impress Her Much?

That was just one in a long list. (To be fair, it was her assistant who did the demanding and pouting and whining and wheedling and annoying.)

I will go to a Tea Party rally if Mike does "Man (I Feel Like a Woman)"

[soxxy]

That Lane Bryant ad is not particularly shocking.
