Simon and the Judges use their “save”

| April 16, 2009

Anoop-dog was in the last 3 again, but he wasn’t at the bottom. Actually, he had a fairly good night on Tuesday. Our Justin Timberlake wanna-be had the lowest total, but was saved when the judges exercised their one and only save vote. If I understand it correctly, next week, TWO contestants will be eliminated!

Tonight is results night on American Idol and I’m making the contest easier!

| April 8, 2009

I find myself agreeing with Simon almost all of the time. He’s not interested in stroking the contestants’ egos, just gives his honest opinion. Last night, I happened to be freezing my butt off at the Phillies game, but my wife “DVRed” it for me. I may tape it every week from now on. You [...]
