I miss the jewish girl..and other rants

Doesn't anyone else? When she wasn't trying to do those 40-something style songs, she brought a unique young fun edge to AI. Her jewish humour and personality reminds me of Janice from Friends. I almost want to marry her. Almost.

She's much better than some of the bland blondes that are still in the competition now.

And who remembers that 16 year old girl whose mother collapsed during the early stages. SHE COULD REALLY SING. I can't believe she's out meanwhile non-risktaking country western style singers, and weakvoiced people such as Anwar, or singers whose music you wouldn't even download, like the blond boy with the now-closed hole in his throat are still there.

Some of these people are not "pop" material. I can't see them having long careers. Mind you, pop itself is passed it.

Who was that young black girl who sang with her arms trembling, her pupils dilated and was just generally, a pile of nerves on-stage? Her parents were coaching her a lot during the early stages? Anyway, how was SHE IN FOR SO LONG ANYWAY? She had one performance where I was embarrassed on her behalf.

Constantine, except for last week's performance for me has been overly amateur. I didn't know he even could sing until last week. Thank goodness he has decided to stop with the OTT mic-grabbing, and has focused on letting us hear him sing - note, not scream as in previous weeks, but give melody to his voice. I hope it wasn't a one-off.

Bo sounds like Curtis Stigers. Bo has soul and rock in one.

Simon needs more metaphors and comparisons than that "hotel lobby" line.

Lastly, as much as I love Paula Abdul and her music from 1987-1992, they have to change the judging order so she can't copy Randy's comments. Plus, even when she does have her own opinion, it's always suckuppish:

*So Paula, what do you think of X's terrible performance?*
PAULA: "You did your thing, and you have great showmanship and I love your shoes."

It's sickening and blatantly obvious over-sucking-up. I'd respect her more if she said:
"I dunno. I wasn't listening. I was looking in my bag for my makeup."

Do you know anyone's names??!

I agree about Paula and Simon's comments though.

No, I don't really - which is crazy cos AI, Friends reruns and Simpsons repeats are literally the only shows I regularly watch on TV, so I should know at least the names of those I like but oh well.

Have you have seen the most wonderful "This is Spinal Tap"? She (Janice from friends if you will or Barbra Streisand’s less talented look-alike as she is better known; or plain Mikala to her parents) appears in it playing the character "Bobbi Flekman". Super.

Have to say much preferred her in her light-hearted comedy roles rather then this so called singing carer she is now toying with. Anyway I'm sure the "Nanny" DVD box set will be available soon for all fans of Miss Gordon to enjoy.

I think Mikela's Italian, although she does a very good Fran Dreschler impression!

tee - hee - that's so true!!

or

RANDY: "aw, man, it wasn't my favourite performance, but, man, dawg pound, you got it go-win onnnnnnn!"

or

SIMON: "It reminded me of when I was in Marrakesh/Las Vegas/the Gulf War/wagga wagga and I went to a seedy hotel/shot gun wedding/primary school performance of bugsy malone/peter andre impersonation night .... not very good .... really" (cue down turned mouth and shrug!)

HE HE!

You forget his other set piece though:

"OK, dawg, i wasn’t feelin’ you. It was [over-exaggerated hand gestures] somewhat pitchy".

I LOVE the Spinal Tap movie! Hilarious.

Exactly. I remember her saying that she's Italian, so she's probably Catholic. She puts on this accent as if she's a Jewish girl from New York, but she grew up in Las Vegas and she's Italian.

Paula is so unswervingly uncritical I can see this trick question coming from Ryan Seabreeze:

So Paula what do you think of Hitler?

He did his thing, he had great showmanship, he was true to himself, he made his own fan base and honoured it, people will remember him, he looked amazing tonight in that uniform ... Simon, stop hitting me. Honestly. People love me. It's you they can't stand.
