AMERICAN IDOL 9, HOLLYWOOD WEEK (Episode 9)

Last night was the long anticipated night that fans of Idol, Paula Abdul and Ellen Degeneres, although with possibly different intents, all came together to witness the dawn of a new permanent judge on American Idol.

Ellen, although funny in most bits, was somewhat redundant at times with the humour in her remarks, similar to a generally lovable, yet occasionally annoying child in a class of forty constantly raising her hands at each and every opportunity, merely craving for attention. Having said that, I suppose we can only imagine the pressure the contestants are going through, appreciating any kind of ‘positivity’ that they can garner, even if it means criticisms cloaked under the most perplexing of jokes. On the other hand, I did find myself silently ‘giggling’ (yes i tend to do that sometimes) when she teasingly mentioned to Simon, “So this is it? I come on and you leave..”

Ellen’s jokes aside, episode 9 proves to be packed with early favourites from round-one auditions, giving light (maybe even slightly more than a suggestion, although one can never be too sure) in revealing the contestants from season 9 that will probably be getting the ‘pimp-spot’ from the producers .

With that, before I share with you the highlights of the first round of Hollywood week and as a welcome to our favourite new permanent judge on American Idol (and being true to the way Ellen has been starting off her shows)

Not to contradict my previous post on "Objectophilia", but, "I LOVE YOU INTERNET".

For some particular reason, I couldn’t receive any internet access today. Being a computer illiterate that I am, I tried clicking on foreign buttons, trying my best to keep up with instructions that the ‘help’ service was coldly presenting me with, only to be even more confused. Honest to say the least, I was not even sure whether I asked for the right kind of help in the first place, since I was not even certain of the help that I needed. As I slowly (but surely) tangled myself into a messy ‘web’ of instructions, I desperately wished that my computer was telepathic or functioned on VERY general voice commands meant for those electronically-challenged. Maybe something like,

“Get me on the internet.”

"I just don't get it."
