American Idol - Season 9

[deep]

I guess you are not watching Glee or Pushing Daisies (when it was on)
and yes her singing voice is better than her chipmunk speaking voice

She has won a few awards

2009 Satellite Award - Outstanding Guest Star (Glee)

Nice to see a trained singer as a guest judge in lieu of a pop singer for a change. (Not that any of the show's guest hosts can't sing, but Posh Spice, seriously? Wasn't she notorious for being the Spice Girl with the worst voice?)

Not sure what she's singing here, but apparently it's from rehearsals from a random Old Navy commercial - lol.

And on Glee, singingsome good ol' pop.

I saw Kristen in "Wicked" on Broadway...she was terrific...I also loved Pushing Daisies...but that show did not last long enough

 

[RedRocksU2]

Wicked was amazing.

 

[U2isthebest]

I adore Kristen Chenoweth. Her voice is amazing, and she's got an awesome personality. She's hilarious.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I met here in Century City once, she is tiny.

 

[joyfulgirl]

That's the best thing Jimmy Fallon has ever done.

That was awesome. And Pants on the Ground Man is a shoo-in to bring back for the finale.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm so over Pants On the Ground. But yeah, alas, you're probably right.

Although at this rate, I'm not sure I'll make it to the finale. I deleted last night's show off my DVR unwatched.

 

[RedRocksU2]

You missed that guy that got handcuffed.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm so over Pants On the Ground. But yeah, alas, you're probably right.

Yeah, me too, but they'll have to bring to him back. That's just the way it is.

I forgot it was on last night. I'll fast-forward through it as usual. I generally don't watch any of the bad auditions anymore. It's all kind of the same, and you can tell fast-forwarding who's good.

 

[corianderstem]

You missed that guy that got handcuffed.

I'm sure I'll live.

 

[corianderstem]

This was an interesting read - some of it I knew already, some of it was new info.

[JCOSTER]

Still no one has made me go wow.....

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hey Cori, are you excited about your favorite person in the world Katy Perry as a guest judge on tomorrow's Idol?

 

[corianderstem]

Ha. When I saw she was a guest judge this week, I made the decision in advance to delete it off my DVR unwatched.

Apparently some guy that made it through to the top 24 is no longer in the running ... because his dad spilled the beans to a local paper.

In other news: some guy now hates his dad.

[GirlsAloudFan]

I love a handful of her tunes, but Avril Lavigne strikes me as a weird bird.

 

[corianderstem]

Okay, okay, uncle. Katy Perry is rather adorable.

Her music still sucks, though.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Avril was just down right annoying acting like a 13 year old.
Katy was just rude with her behavior towards Kara, uncalled for.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Okay, okay, uncle. Katy Perry is rather adorable.

Her music still sucks, though.

Yes! She is! That's a good word to describe her, I think.

As for her music, I only know "I Kissed A Girl" and "Hot N Cold." Maybe she has some excellent deep cuts hiding on her album? Probably not.

Avril was just down right annoying acting like a 13 year old.
Katy was just rude with her behavior towards Kara, uncalled for.

This.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ha, I thought it was pretty clear that Katy and Kara knew eachother and were just messin around. Could be wrong, though.

 

[RedRocksU2]

No, I don't think so.

*catfight*

 

[Daddysgonnapay]

It was somewhat nice to see the guest judges have some balls and say no when the others were wishy washy...that said....how can we call Katy Perry and Avril "expert" judges...seems a bit of a stretch

 

[deep]

I'd like to see Katy be on with Ellen.

And then have Ellen start singing "I kissed a girl" like Kara did.



"Please Stop, I'll Have to Throw My Coke in Your Face"

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I laughed very loud when Katy said that to Kara.

 

[BAW]

Ha, I thought it was pretty clear that Katy and Kara knew eachother and were just messin around. Could be wrong, though.

That's what I though too. They co-wrote Kelly Clarkson's "I Don't Hook Up" together so they do know each other.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I knew it! Thanks for the background, BAW.

Tonight's guest judges on Idol, two of the most popular gay entertainers in America: Neil Patrick Harris and Joe Jonas.

 

[Sicy]

What does Neil Patrick Harris know about singing exactly..?

 

[corianderstem]

he was in that Dr. Horrible online mini-musical that Joss Whedon did a couple of years ago.

And I think he's been in a musical or two on Broadway - wasn't he in Rent for a while? He's probably better qualified to be a judge than Ellen.

 

[Sicy]

And I thought he was just an actor

Gawd you guys know everything.
