American Idol, House, and a General TV Rant

Ok. I love Queen. Yeah, I admit it. I can rock out to Queen and I like most of their music. Bohemian Rhaphsody, We Will Rock You, Fat Bottomed Girls, Under Pressure, Another One Bites the Dust, You're My Best Friend, Friends Will Be Friends, Killer Queen, Somebody to Love, Under Pressure, Love of My Life Don't Leave Me, '39, I'm In Love With My Car.... I loved them all. I had an old tape that me and my little sis would listen to over and over (sometimes giving Queen a break for The Mamas and the Papas) incessantly.

So last week when my husband chuckled with an evil gleam in his eye and announced that the Idols were doing Queen, my stomach started hurting. And tonite, when I watched--horrorstruck-- I realized that my stomach ache was nothing compared to the trainwreck that was tonight's episode.

Bucky killed Fat Bottom Girls and turned it into some sucktastic country western song (as did the Pickle with Bohemian Rhaphsody---what the hell was she thinking?) Ace? I am all for putting your own spin on something; but not at the cost of what you're spinning on. Sorry, he sucked too. McPhee was ok. Daughtry? Whatever. I wasn't surprised/amused/anything. What really killed it for me was Elliot. He sucked. He sucked hard. He sucked so hard I can't even remember what the hell he sang---that is how hard it sucked. OH NO WAIT. NOW I REMEMBER!! He attempted to sing Somebody to Love one of my most favorite songs of all time and one that even my six year old can sing along with. Ugh. He slaughtered it. And what's worse; Simon, who I can usually rely on to "have my back" was praising him. *barf**barf**barf* YURGH.

Then comes Taylor Hicks with This Thing Called Love, yeah his mike stand kick was kind of sucky and he is the epitome of the phrase "white men can't dance" but still. I played his bit over twice (gotta love Tivo) And what does Simon do? Ask him if he is drunk. gawd.

Then comes Paris. I love Paris, yeah she is chipper to a fault but she can sing and she's fantastic. I liked her rendition of the Show Must Go On. It was cool. It deserved better remarks than the backhanded non-remark Simon gave her. If I had to guess who the top four would be (or say who I want them to be) it would be Taylor Hicks,Chris Daughtry, Katherine McGhee, and Paris Bennet.

Bucky and Pickler need to leave; stat. Followed quickly by Elliot and I'm-too-sexy-for-this-show-Ace. Gag me.

Nummers. I can't be the only woman in America who is in love with Hugh Laurie as House. Nummy Nummy Nummy. That is all I can say. Well, that and HOLY COW AGING DID HIM A WORLD OF GOOD BECAUSE HE LOOKED LIKE A SKINNY FREAK ON BLACK ADDER, but he was funny. I like his dark sarcasm on House, and the way he needles everyone. It just sucks that he has to have an American accent because I've a weakness for British accents *snicker* You know one of my all time ultimate ::swoon:: worthy accents? John Hannah. When I was a teenager someone sent me a mixed tape that had the bit of him reading "Funeral Blues" from 4 Weddings and a Funeral, and the first time I listened to it I got chills all over my body. To this day "Funeral Blues" is at the top of my list of favorite poems, right up there with "Love's Philosophy" and "A Woman's Shortcomings" as well as a handful of others. I guess you can tell that I run towards the fiercly romantic type. Of course, I wish I could send John Hannah a micro cassette recorder and copies of those poems....

Anyhow who knows when this post will go up. My friggin' hosting is DOWN DOWN DOWN and that sucks beyond belief. Farther than beyond belief since I have a massive ammount of domains and they are all down--- 10 in all. Some of them are not that important. 4 of them are really only 2 with different tlds (a .net and a .com for each domain name) BUT THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT. I have too much stress for this.

*edit* 2 hours and 30minutes later.... my hosting is finally working properly. Now I understand, fully understand, why some people just wig out when their hosting goes down. Maybe I can sleep now.
