I am officially in mourning today for the loss of my Anoop Dawg. I should probably be wearing black - - or is it Chapel Hill colors?

What is with Randy fanwanking on himself so badly? Someone needs to turn off his mic if he's going to "woot!" for himself every week. And stop with the booing of Simon already. It's old. Good for Paula getting back to her choreographer roots. Group sing was all kinds of cheesy but damn it, if I didn't flove it. The lip synching was ridiculously evident, I think Ashlee Simpson is calling to give the Idols advice. What was with all the guys but Adam F. Lambert wearing sunglasses? And was I the only one who had difficulty telling some of the male Idolizers apart during the Group Sing? Painful! I thought Paula's dress was lovely, if a bit short, and I worried that she would not only fall on those steps but that we would all see her choice of undergarments.

Harsh exit for LRR. I'm not a fan but geez, show . . . absolutely no build up, no suspense whatsoever. It's not like her cut was a surprise but it was definitely shades of "Oh, by the way, LRR, you're outta here! Here's your mic, sing, but do it quick because we have a Ford commercial to get to." I think Idol took those freaky white boots LRR was wearing and walked right over her with them.

Damn it all to hell! I was really hoping with the Kris safety and Adam safety that we were being set up for Gokey in the Bottom 3. Especially when Seacrest had to ask Gokey about being clumsy and then ask Simon for a dictionary definition of what he meant exactly. A shocking boot of Gokey would have been equivalent to a televisionistic orgasm but no! We can't even get that rat bastard in the Bottom 3. Gokey is very much the Tom Cruise of Idol this year - - hanging on by his fingernails, kicking and screaming and refusing to GET.THE.FUCK off my t.v.

Surprised Matt was not in the Bottom 3 but since I think Idol is pulling shenanigans with the vote calculation, I guess they didn't want to have the judges blow the save last week and then have Matt get the boot this week. So Anoop goes to the chopping block a final time. Poor Anoop. Idol has treated him miserably and rather than stupid ass Gokey supposedly not getting the credit he deserves, I think Anoop has not gotten the credit he deserves. I appreciated his honesty over admitting he was disappointed, but I'm sure he was relieved too.

The halftime shows - - Freda Payne sounded as though she might need an oxygen tank after the show. Thelma Houston's attire was frightening and I worried those "curtains" on her dress would part and give us a Very Special Show, but damn, the lady still has an incredible voice. And I squeed over that song. My 10 year old self back in the late 70s used to love K.C. but the only thing I could think of when I saw him was "damn, he looks old." And what was with the dangly earring in his left ear? Archuletta still sounds like Archuletta. And I think he most definitely needed an oxygen tank after that performance - - which really sounded like hot buttered ass served up on a homemade bun of lame. I will say, though, that Archuletta's advice to Anoop and Breakfast Club was incredibly mature and insightful. Seacrest was a douche for pointing out, in front of Anoop and Breakfast Club, that Archuletta had never been in the Bottom 2 (and mad props for Archuletta's response of "I was fortunate") - - and hooray for Archuletta telling them that you don't have to win the whole thing in order for your dreams to come true.

My predictions - - totally, totally evident where TPTB are going with this. Despite the fact that of the contestants left, I think (drum roll here) Tender Dawg Kris is probably the most across the board commercial, I think we are being set up for an Adam F. Lambert/Gokey final 2, with Gokey taking the thing. I say this because although Adam F. Lambert could bake and crucify Gokey on that stage, and has done so every week, he is far more controversial than "I have a dead wife and I come from the land of cheese" Gokey. If Dial Idol raw numbers are to be believed, Gokey should have been the one going home instead of Anoop. As Gokey has not even seen the Bottom 3, I think TPTB are messing with the numbers and protecting him - - and the judges are in on it, lavishing undue praise on him every week and giving him credit for doing the exact same thing they banished LRR for - - she got criticized for using traditional arrangements and not changing things up, exactly what Gokey does week after week.

Just my two cents' worth . . . image

They're idiots, which I don't necessarily find offensive. But I do find it offensive that they think I'm an idiot and would believe what they're saying.
