Loving YouTube

Okay, I HEART YouTube. HEART. It makes my insides go nutty when I can do a search on New Kids on the Block (I loved Jordan Knight!) or Debbie Gibson (yes, sue me, I spent my adolescent years in the late 80s).

Anyway, I posted about this previously and I FOUND IT ON YouTube, which if I haven't already mentioned, totally rocks!

Dontcha Wish Your Girlfriend Was a Freak Like Me?

I will shamefully admit that I spent the last two nights watching the season premiere of American Idol. Even last night, when I got home at 7:55 pm, I excitedly skipped to the tv, turned it on to the show and while assembling storage boxes from IKEA, watched another two hours of this torture.

Open questions to fans, participants and judges of AI:

• What is the thrill of watching these awful sounding people?


• Don't the people that audition know they aren't good? At all?


• Why is Paula Abdul drunk out of her mind all the time? Or is she drugged? Which is it?

I will say, however, that on the first night, I almost peed my pants watching a young girl (she was wearing blue jeans, a white button shirt and a tie) botch up Kiss by Prince. She had this great shimy shake going on and definitely had the song in her head. It just didn't translate well when she sang it aloud. And when they told her she wasn't going to make it through to the next round, she was gracious and didn't give the judges any lip or curse at them.

To her, I say, there's always next year.
