Jewel's a dumb hoe. She had talent once upon a time, but lately, she just dresses like a skank and has become this pop princess who I really am not a fan of. I couldn't even watch all two hours of her. I turned it off after 45 mins.

OH MY GOSH.

This is the freakiest thing I have EVER seen.

I can't say [!@#$%^&*]!!!

This is so strange!!!

Anyway, about Jewel -- I'll agree that the one time she was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, (and this was an episode I heard about about from Rosie, didn't actually see it) was when one of her biggest fans performed for her and she just said something like, "No," with a blank expression.

WHAT a (word I can't say!!!)

The two guys that started AI's newest controvesry, the "bush baby" and the big dude in the Hawaiian shirt, were on the Today Show this morning talked about how they were treated and apparently they already have agents. They didn't seem too upset about Simon, Randy, and Paula's comments, but thought it was a little out of line. I hope something positive comes out of this, but I fear they'll only be exploited.

Sundance Head, Is He Headed For The American Idol 6 Finals?

Sundance Head is twenty-seven years old and is from Porter, Texas. Sundance said that his dad named him Sundance because “You know, I don’t know. My folks are hippies, so I guess that’s how I got the name. I don’t know, it was hell to grow up with it.” In addition to being a hippie, Sundance’s dad was also a singer named Roy Head, who had a number song in 1965 with “Treat Her Right.” The song got knocked off the charts by “Yesterday” by the Beatles.

Before his audition, Sundance Head said “Of course, I expected to be famous before I graduated high school, so I didn’t put very much effort into that. Uh, sure wish I could have done that again.” Sundance also added “I think when I walk in they’re not going to be prepared for what they are going to hear, you know, I’m really going to blow their minds, that’s what I believe. Watch them kick me out and you air this on TV later…look what a smartass he was.”

Sundance Head told Simon Cowell that he was having a lucky year because he got married to his wife that he had been with for seven years, he was having a baby that’s due on Christmas day, and he made it to American Idol.

For his Memphis audition, Sundance sang “Stormy Monday” by Bobby Blue Band. Paula Abdul said “Powerful voice, didn’t expect it.” Randy Jackson said “We're in Memphis, and you come in singing a Blues song, and blew it out. Man, you sounded great, dude, amazing.” Simon Cowell said “Probably one of the best voices we’ve heard on the audition tour this year in every way.” Simon also added “I’m going to be amazed if you don’t make the finals. I thought it was terrific, well done.” Needless to day, Sundance Head made it through to Hollywood by a unanimous decision from the judges.

Memphis Means Talent For American Idol

After stops in Minneapolis and Seattle that brought out an unusual array of bad singers, the talent finally showed up for American Idol at the Memphis auditions, and it showed up in a big way. Sundance Head might have sang his way into the early favorite spot for this season. His powerful rendition of “Stormy Monday” by Bobby Blue Band led the usually reserved Simon Cowell to declare “I’m going to be amazed if you don’t make the finals.”

Sundance wasn’t the only talent in Memphis. Sean Michel walked into the auditions looking like someone who showed up with a gimmick outfit because he can’t sing. However, even though Sean might have looked and dressed like Fidel Castro, he sang “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” with a passion that would have made Johnny Cash himself proud. After his audition, Randy Jackson yelled, “I say 100% yes. It don’t matter what you look like, you can blow.”

The guys weren’t the only ones that delivered in Memphis. Melinda Doolittle had to sit on her hands to stop the shaking before her audition, but during her audition, she was a polished professional. Melinda’s rendition of “For Once In My Life” received some of the highest praise this year from Simon Cowell. Cowell told Melinda, “You are in the top 2% of good singers this year.”

Danielle McCulloch and Philip Stacy also made it through in Memphis, but they did not receive the unanimous approval of the judges. Randy Jackson told Danielle that he didn’t think she was that good and that he thought she would be gone “like first day, first minute,” but Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell disagreed and put her through to Hollywood. Philip Stacy had one of the most interesting background stories, as his wife had given birth to his daughter that morning. Simon Cowell thought Philip couldn’t start his songs well, but it didn’t matter, because both Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson said “yes.”

Of course, Memphis wasn’t without the mixture of cruelty and unusualness that we have come to expect from American Idol. On the cruel side, Christopher McCain talked about how his wife had just left him before his audition. After Christopher belted out a lackluster “Footloose," Simon Cowell said “I’m tempted to ask if you sang that the night before your wife left.” On the unusual side, Frank Byers Jr. showed up with his own cheerleading squad and marching band. After he was rejected by the American Idol judges, he still had enough enthusiasm to lead a cheer with Ryan Seacrest, and the noise led an angry Simon Cowell to storm out of the audition room and yell at them to shut up.

I finally have a fav! The homeless guy! He was awesome. And mark my words once they shave that ridiculous Osama beard off of him and cut that awful hair, he is going to be one handsome dude.

I did like Sundance, as well. We may have a clear winner already.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
