I am so sorry, Carly. I never should have bashed your shirts. I had no idea that it would land you in the bottom 3, for heaven's sake! What a shocker. But Girlfriend, you'd better wise up, because your shirt from tonight wasn't much better. Honestly. We need a What Not To Wear intervention in the worst way.
I wonder what Nick would do for David Cook's hair. Anything would be an improvement. Washing, perhaps, for starters. Just a thought.
And while I'm on a hair roll, I'd also spring for a barrette for Ramiele. I'd love to see Amanda's hair in some kind of non-skunk color. Like a soft brown with maybe highlights? I was born in Lafayette, but when she has her concert at a bar there, I probably won't make the trip. I wonder if she'll go back to nursing again. I wonder if she ever frightened any of her patients. I'm slightly okay with the fact that she won't be around the Idol stage anymore. I think she was mildly frightening in general.
I missed Brooke's curls tonight. All straight-hair girls yearn for curls, so it seems unconscionable that she would straighten hers. I hope Syesha brings hers back, too, although I agree with Corie that sleek was the right call for her sophisticated performance this week.
I don't understand dreadlocks. Could anyone have them? Or is it a certain type of hair that just naturally gets shaped that way? Are they all his hair? How could one break off? I'd like to spend an evening with Jason Castro anyway, but mostly because I'd like to get the lowdown on his funky do.
So I was thinking that when I'm a rich and famous hairstylist and have lots of disposable income to throw around, the main thing I'm gonna want my personal assistant to do for me is Holiday Planning.
I figure there's a maximum number of years that a mom can feel enthused about the never-ending responsibility of making every occasion special and fun. Because of the spacing and number of my kids, I'm pretty sure I hit my limit about three years ago. I used to love decorating for each holiday that came along. I hung flags for every season on a post outside my front door. I'd cheerfully haul out all the little seasonal trinkets and I found it delightful to shop for goodies -- stocking stuffers, Valentines, shamrocky green gum, Easter treats, birthday party favors..... Now I just get this sense of "ugh, not another thing I have to shop for..."
It's sad, really. Because now that I have grandkids, I should be getting a second wind, a revisiting of the fun of filling Easter baskets. But instead I'm dreading having to come up with baskets for the three kids left at home. Not to mention the certainty, as I've whined about before, of finding Easter grass on my floor until Christmas comes around.
Then again, maybe part of my holiday blah-ness stems from the sheer financial stress of having to buy stuff all the time. And if I was truly rich and famous, that wouldn't be a consideration.
So cancel that, and just hire me a Nick Arojo of my own.

I posted my reaction to last night. I'm still shocked! I wasn't an Amanda fan..but I still can't believe that she went before Kristy Lee or Ramiele. I was also shocked that Ramiele wasn't in the bottom 3 and even more shocked that Carly made it. Don't worry about your criticism of her shirts. You were right! And you know how I love David Cook...I even agree with you there. He really does have to wash his hair. I keep waiting for one of Jason's dreads to drop on the floor after he made the comment about one 'breaking off at dinner'. LOL!
Hi,
My name is Ruthie, too, but I go by Ruth in blogland.
I found you from Rocks in My Dryer and I like your perspective!
I, too was surprised that Carly was in the bottom three, although she is not my favorite. I just LOVE Brooke, even though I'm not sure I think she's a great singer. She did "Let It Be" well, though.
At our house, we are just waiting for Michael Johns to go. He seems so privileged or something... it's that anti-underdog thing. I thought he was terrible the last time he sang.
We never vote because I figure it is all fixed, anyway. Between the fact that she was actually one of the better singers this past week, the judges generally liked her AND she had VFTW support, I hardly think that Amanda REALLY received the fewest votes this week.
P.S. At our house Amanda was known as "Scary Nurse" so I had to chuckle when I read somewhere around here the comment, "I wonder if she ever scared anyone."
Isn't Jason Castro just CUTE? He makes me grin. I watch him talk through an interview, and I realize that my smile muscles are flexing until they burn. Then I feel like an idiot. Speaking of idiots, my girls call David A. "The Idiot Savant" and always wonder why anybody ever lets him try to talk. When HE smiles, all I can think of is the Sicilian in "The Princess Bride."
Again, I am in the minority here. Still don't have a DVR and I've never seen even one American Idol all the way through. So, I can't enter into that discussion but... I can speak to the Easter basket dilemma. When am I to do that shopping without the very children I need to shop for with me? Maybe tomorrow. We'll see.
my, you're getting popular! I just get to your post and you already have four comments. I shouldn't be surprised, I guess-- you are amazing and all. Just a little jealous, since you're the only person who ever comments to me.
You know I agree with you on almost all points, except Amanda, who I never hated as much as you did. I agreed w/ the EW report on her-- I'd much rather have had her stick around for interest's sake, rather than having to watch Kristy and Ramiele be all blah. And it would have been fun to see her have to do the Mariah songs, for instance.
Geez Louise. I could have written this post myself. You have no idea! I used to be the queen of decorating too, but it's like I ran out of steam. And I have all the same questions about AI. We need our questions answered!
