American Idol: A Learning Experience

I loved last night's American Idol. The show was filled with great singers and performances (minus the Love Guru--I have seen the promo for his lame new movie way too many times--and each time I see it I'm still embarrassed for Mike Myers).

I thought all the Idols sounded great (except for that Amanda rocker chick - she is too much with her fancy wanna-be scarves). Ending the show with the tribute to George Michael was famous! I loved his music in high school and college--and I thought the Idol's did a decent job.

So, as the Idols were singing the George Michael medley--DH turned to me and said, "I guess George Michael is the going to be the grand finale tonight."

"George Michael is dead," I replied.

"No, he's not," DH said.

"Ummm, I think I'd know if my favorite singer from high school was alive or not. He's definitely, NOT alive," I smirked. "He died like 2 years ago."

"What did he die of?" DH asked.

"I'm pretty sure, aids," I confidently said.

Our attention turned back to the TV, as the Idol's finished up the chorus of "Freedom"--and out walked George Michael. Errrr...awkward {and did DH rub it in? NO! He never does.

He's a better person than me, for sure!}

So here's the Top 10 Things I Learned

from the American Idol Finale

10. George Michael Lives!

9. ZZ Top lives (& totally rocks! cause I thought

those guys were dead too)

8. Paula Abdul should hire me to write her a

script of appropriate things to say - then maybe

she wouldn't sound drunk.

7. Randy needs a new image consultant...

...pimp wear is so last year.

6. Jason Castro and Ramiele Malubay still bug.

5. Carrie Underwood likes herself

some short skirts.

4. Carly Smithson enjoys black tights in the

spring (hey, for all I know - maybe it's winter

in her homeland of Ireland).

3. Simon is secretly masquerading as a psychiatrist--he used reverse psychology on Idol voters (see, by telling America that David Cook was terrible and that David Archuletta was awesome -- he actually tricked us into voting the reverse--now that's one smart Englishman).

2. No matter who won...

...both Davids will make it big.

1. Michael Johns should've won it all

{I'm not bitter, I promise!}
