Idol Quickies: February 02, 2010
Higher Love my ass! The oddest pre-game entertainment ever — Daughtry, Queen Latifah and…Steve Winwood?
New-fangled We Are The World includes Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and…Katherine McPhee? (Yo, Randy Jackson. KATHARINE MCPHEE AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.)
Yahoo! Music’s Lyndsey Parker interviewed Adam Lambert. Make sure and peruse the comments for crazy. Actually, I really DO want to go watch this when I get a chance, because he talks about Burning Man. (Oh, please, Sparkle Herd, don’t start buying tents, faux-fur vests and Poland Spring.)
Scott Brown just won a Senate seat, but he wants his daughter, Ayla Brown, to get another shot at American Idol. And here I was waiting for him to meet up with Rep. Barney Frank and FILIBUSTER RIGHT OUT OF THOSE PANTS.
Some other stuff happened…but I have to run!
Top Idol 
I like “Bowersoxuals” the best, sour. “Bowerbitches” is pretty clever as well, though. 🙂
I thought I got her. This is what saskin posted:
“OK then. If you have someone in mind declare it before the 17th. If your guy/gal gets in top 24, you have ‘em. If not you will be assigned someone randomly. Does that work?
Names (preferred idol): Sherena, Erinnthered, 8sourcandy(Crystal Bowersox) deez, edge, Lauren (John Park), Margie, Saskin, Trish, blacklisted, Mithra (Todrick Hall), jukejoint, pandora, pattyluponey.
That is 14. We still need 10 more volunteers. If we don’t get more people to join, maybe we can have 2 idols each and two levels of loserness?”
I have been very busy with tard projects, I don’t have time to read the fine print in every post. 🙂
Oh well, if you want to ruin Crystal Bowersox’s chances of winning by denying me the opportunity of making her into a win-worthy STAH, then that’s your prerogative.
I’m officiating the contest. This is my blog, those are the rules. Hopefully, Crystal Bowesox is your fate.
Yep. I talked too soon. This is TI’s blog, TI’s rules. I didn’t know whether she was in or just allowing us to play the game.
Even though I’m competitive, I really hope you get Bowersox, Sour. I’m rooting for you both. (But I’ll win, I have my own strategery)
You guys have seen the post devoted to the contest, right?
Yep. Applied to the contest. Bought the t-shirt. Trying to sell it on ebay…
Don’t get testy. 🙂
TI, who is in so far?
I am comments only to show off my new avatar created by the lovely 8sourcandy. I love her more than you could possibly imagine.
*commening
Anyway…why did it change my name back to lauren722? lol
Fixed…?
Kris is now in the Phillipines. Check out the a cappella (2 lines) he sings at the press conf. wow. Maybe Taylor Swift can’t sing live, but HBD can:
Spelling fail…Philippines
He sounds great! I just like how real he is…you don’t get that a lot today. That is sad to me. I want a real person not an image.
You know deez? I don’t know what you are trying to prove. He is not an international stah. It does not mean anything that he is in an Asian country, on TV, singing a capella, promoting a concert. He is not a stah. And he is especially not an innernahsional stah ’cause his name does not rhyme with modem and his last name is not Lambert. Don’t make me throw a tantrum here.
SUPAHSTAH!!!!ELEVENTY!!!!1111!!!
You know I’d be quite worried if the winner of a show that requires weekly live performances couldn’t sing live deez!
Well,… you know the whole post-National Anthem “This-dude-can’t-sing” twitter beat down and everything.
The only people who said that were the Glamberts. And I bet they would say the clip you posted was boring or something too. Haha
LOL! I just listened to the Manila Press conference @ MJ’s. Kris’ very first question had to do with Adam, you can hear the person filming say, “Oh God” when the question is asked.
Poor Kris*sigh*…maybe one of these days, HBD….
Wow, I hope when they write the History of Rock and Roll, they correct the error that Rolling Stone made about Burning Man. You know in the chapter that Adam gets right after Elvis and the Beatles.
It was pretty funny to think magic mushrooms would make you want to audition for Idol. But yes Rolling Stone is a pretty sad joke these days.
Didn’t mushrooms make Jim Morrison start writing music? Same thing, right? 😉
So far, aint noone come near to the awesomeness that is Adam lambert.
Was that ever even a possibility?
hey, saskin,
yoooohooo!
I have claimed my idol (see avitar) It’s Crystal Bowersox. In spite of never having heard her sing—or seeing her face from the nose down—I feel very strongly she will win.
No Fair…Head start on the tardfest!!!!!!!
Haha, well she knows nothing about her so I consider it fair.
I’m waiting to be assigned someone at random. I could definitely write faux razzle dazzle about the Fetus or the frizzy blonde-haired girl from Iowa or the one with the name that sounds like Israeli chewing gum. Got any Vered Didi Benami? Nah, I don’t like that stuff.
Yeah, I thought it was going to be a random thing after they announce the top 24. I want a guy, that’s all.
Do we get to choose our bad icons, or are they chosen for us?
Let’s put it out for vote. Simple majority wins. Vote until Idol tonight.
Random or do we get to pick?
I vote random because we’ll see more pimping (I think?) in the coming Hollywood episodes and no one will want the pimped ones to not look like a bona fide tard.
If the choosing isn’t totally random …I want the fugliest, most repulsive dude of the bunch. (give me this year’s Gokey) haha. If not, anybody will work!
I guess that wasn’t clear…I really don’t care…whatever you guys want to do!
I think it’s up to whoever had the idea. Saskin? Or Top Idol, since she was coming up with ways to make this work for us.
It’s kind of a done deal that 8Sour gets the Bowersox, though, since she already avatared her. (Damn it. I wanted the hippy girl who doesn’t comb her hair and has Sox in her name!)
I picked a fashion victim? Her forehead seemed so promising.
I am trying to come up with the lamest fan group name ever. Help me pick…
Crystalmethheads
Crystards (an omage to Kris)
Soxpuppets
BowWows
Bowersoxuals
Bowersoxers
Bowerbitches
I can see this already getting out of hand as I imagine a theme song parody. Bringing Soxy back….I want your Sox…..Sox and Candy OMG!
“in platform double suede yeah
there she was like disco lemonade
I smell sox and sourcandy here, mmm”
Needless to say, she will be eliminated during Hollywood week.
Bowerbitches! Definitely!
I know it’s HOMAGE! Omage is my Homage to Adam!
I vote random but whatever you guys decide is fine with me. If we get to pick… John Park is mine.
OK then. If you have someone in mind declare it before the 17th. If your guy/gal gets in top 24, you have ’em. If not you will be assigned someone randomly. Does that work?
Names (preferred idol): Sherena, Erinnthered, 8sourcandy(Crystal Bowersox) deez, edge, Lauren (John Park), Margie, Saskin, Trish, blacklisted, Mithra (Todrick Hall), jukejoint, pandora, pattyluponey.
That is 14. We still need 10 more volunteers. If we don’t get more people to join, maybe we can have 2 idols each and two levels of loserness?
Haha perfect! Another idol would be great but join our game people!!!!!!! It would be great if we could cover the top 24 🙂
Okay, Katelyn Epperly is mine. I hate that kind of spelling. I hate her hair. I don’t ike Iowa. And I think her sob story (OMG, my dad left my mom five minutes ago, y’all!) is really low-rent. She’s perfect for me!
I’ll take two if you want me to take two, but otherwise I don’t care. I don’t understand why PissWarden isn’t playing, though. She seemed to really love us. (Sarcasm.)
Can TI come out and play?
She’s too busy consulting her thesaurus for her next comment. It may be several days.
Oh, I guess if I get to pick, Ill take Lil’ Orphan Sideshow Bob…of all the pics I’ve seen, he’s definitely the homeliest.
I mean at least she attempted to make arguments instead of just spamming ADAM LAMBERT IS A RAWK AND SEX GOD!!!
Haha I picked based on who I actually LIKED. Oh deez…
Well, since I don’t feel 100% percent sure of the top 24 spoilers, I’ll pick up the dregs. So long as it’s NOT an OMG16!!!1!!!11!!! girl.
No no no! It’ll be WAY more fun to be sarcastic. Especially when I go on and on about how HAWT he is. (now watch…they’ll give him the best makeover in history and he will turn out gorgeous and my plans will FOILED!)
Haha that would be impossible.
Anyway, I’m very good at starting with the truth and stretching it to epic proportions so someone I have a mild interest in is good for me.
Oh,you can assign me whomever. I don’t have the energy to read through that list at mjs. Just make sure it’s somebody awful who is guaranteed to stick around awhile, like Kristie Lee Cook, Or Megan (sorry, TI, loathed her), Sanjaya, or somebody *really* skeevy like Constantie Maroulis or Scott Savol.
Trish
janell wheeler?
If we are picking (and the spoilers are true…) can I have Andrew Garcia? It would be a challenge to pimp racist Danny Gokey 2.0.
I guess I’ll take Tyler Grady, because I’m sure he already has tards/his own herd of cows developing. I’m a Kris fan, therefore lazy, so I can just copy/paste their idiotic blather as necessary once we get going.
And it will be fun to rhyme his name with Brady… oh, I wonder if his tards have named themselves the Grady Bunch yet? If not, I must go trademark it immediately.
DAMMITT!!!! Why didn’t I think of that? I’ve been out-lazied!
YES!
(Oh, I have to admit I’m becoming a tard for your kitteh, I have tried to look away from that furry face, but I. Just. Can’t. “D’AWWWWW!!”)
I just went to the idol site and checked out some of the contestants. My girl is a trainwreck. She may be missing a front tooth, I had to turn away. Her FOREHEAD is her best feature.
She knits hats. I don’t know how to spin that.
Hahahaha you’re screwed!
At least my idol “has a nice bottom end”
So is your fan group the Bottom Enders? Or is that too long?
I don’t have a name for my fan group yet. And I’m usually very good at that sort of nonsense. KateMates? Heavens, no. Epperlytes? OMG, no.
I should’ve picked someone with an easier name to make fun of! Curses! Foiled again!
Hahaha maybe…We shall see.
I like Katemates! Haha
But they are the AWESOMEST HATS EVER!!!!!!!11!!!! Her hats are better than all the other hats..better than newsboys! better than fedoras! better than berets! Better than Jughead’s damn crown!!! Crystalcaps FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Lil’ Orphan Sideshow could benefit from one of those)
Er…this is for Sour (didn’t go where I planned)
I just watched the episode and I love your girl sour. She is adorable. Also the only one who does not have perfect teeth.
And she has a very good fanbase nickname. The CrystalLites, of course. They have their own beverage and everything. Or if your group wants to be manly, they could be the Crystallions. CrystKeepers? Crystians? The CrystMass?
You could be sitting in the Bowersox Box, where Bowersoxual Healing happens every day to Bowersoxers.
All I got is EpperLepers. And that isn’t good.
So…I’m thinking the Garciaritas…..that’s bad….
You guys don’t realize that…
Everyone will be randomly paired…
There will be two chances to win…
The task is…how hard can you tard?
Aw, we don’t get to choose? Fine then. As you guys know, I am capable of pretty heavy tarding 😉
Okay, I will stop straining my brain for Katelyn Epperly jokes and hope I get somebody easier.
Oh, man. Epperleptics. Sure, I get the perfect name once I don’t have her anymore. Epperleptics for the win!
PAHAHAHA! If I get her I am totally “borrowing” that from you.
I will tardy-hardy!!!! So it’s for sure random then? I don’t need to scour IDF for my hideous Golightly avatar just yet? (I was considering making that my Thursday “thing to do while I’m supposed to be doing something else” thing.
We can wait until our Idols get actual fanbases and then steal names from their actual fans. I am sure they will be more ridiculous than anything we could come up with.
EpperLepers is perfect. hahahahah!!!!!
I am leaning towards Crystards. Because you stick with what WINS!
BowerBitches, is a close second.
Crystallions is appealing though.
Have you gone to the front page yet?
I think I am becoming a fan of Ms. Bowersox even before hearing her sing.
Wow, I have only been tarding for a few hours and I already have fans lined up for her. Cool.
Did you notice if any where missing?
You know how to pick ’em don’tcha sour? I don’t know if she has a missing tooth, I think it is crooked on both sides. She is adorable.
I withdraw my initial response. I have heard her sing and she is amazing. Ok, she is very good with tremendous potential. 🙂
Is this 4 realz or are you tarding?
YES! She is the next Natasha Bedingfield. NO! She is the first Chrystal Bowerbsox. She has charismar and artistry and everything.
I have already created the ‘crystalmama’ fan channel on YouTube and a fan video. I am off to create tard art now…and maybe a sonnet.
It is nice to count you among her fans. When the tee shirts come in I will be sure to send you one. 🙂 I hope you like sunflowers.
But what if you aren’t paired with Crystal Bowersox???
Going off topic to post this….Jim really shouldn’t bother joking with the Glamberts
http://twitter.com/#search?q=JambaJim
Thanks for the link. I got the new Sharon Jones and the Dap Tones for free!
That’s Dap-Kings. Oops.
You guys are crazy. My girl scout troop decided to go “camping” IN A HOUSE! We were complaining because there was no cell or internet service. I couldn’t imagine not showering for 3 days…
House Camping!! That’s my kind of camping! (Hey, it counts if you’re not in your own house…that’s sort of wildernessy).
It’s a house on the eastern shore and I don’t think it’s too nice so it counts. Kinda sorta?
Hahahahaha
I just listened to Kris’ Itunes Celebrity Playlist..he has great taste in music.
I know, right?
I gotta chastise you. You brought Kris into a discussion about Adam. So it isn’t just us Adam fans that are always bringing our Idol into topics not about them!
Flicks you on the nose. 🙂 It’s Idol quickies…but listen to it you will be happy Lauren with the song choices 🙂
She did not mention Kris in her post once 😛
Umm link me to it? I am too lazy to go find it myself…xD
Oops!! Link http://watercoolerconvo.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-idol-items-on-itunes.html
the song choices are Kradam happy for you!!
I am still new here..I thought this was TI’s version of an open post. If not I apologize.
Every post is an open post! Well I mean TI might not intend it that way…but it is. (Sorry!)
Anyway, I just sais that because people like Sour, Lamberkitten, Sherena, and I have gotten yelled at in the past for bringing Adam into a Kris discussion. Just trying to exact my revenge 🙂
And thanks for the link. I will listen now.
*said
I enjoy open posts. And yes, it was 🙂
So you’ve given up on keeping us on-topic this year? Cool!
For certain posts…YES.
Hey, I need traffic. 🙂
Haha! It’s understandable.
I’ve tried bringing Adam fans that are friends of mineto this blog but they kinda took offense…I will prevail though!
Why? We’re nice people.
They have not quite yet come to the realization that Glamberts are crazy and deserve to be made fun of. Haha!
How old are they?
Is this to me? If so, my age.
I just saw the list. Not what I expected. Much much better than I expected. Nice
Spoiler Alert

In the interview, Adam says that the Burning Man story was manufactured by Rolling Stone. He told them he had an epiphany that he wanted to do something with his life not that he decided right then and there to try out for Idol. That made Lyndsey sad. I liked the interview though as about 10/14 minutes were about MUSIC!
Actually, I’ve heard that before. I think he even told that to Details.
I was hoping he might actually talk about his other experiences there. I don’t care what drugs he did or any epiphanies he had. That was all such obnoxious bullshit, anyway. Another nail in Rolling Stone’s coffin.
I have a terrible memory so that’s definitely a possibility.
TI, were you two at Burning Man the same year?
I kinda like Rolling Stone. I mean I wouldn’t pay money for it but I got a year free from ordering my Adam poster.
What exactly is Burning Man? Outside concert like Bonnaroo? Don’t laugh at me.
http://www.burningman.com/
Thanks deez. I will just remain going to the hippie version..lol
Yeah…TI has more fortitude than I. After one night in the desert, I would be a devil-bitch. I needs my air-conditioning.
Deez..Bonnaroo you don’t shower for 3 days and you are in the country of Tennessee..it’s hot, humid but so much damn fun.
I suck at being hot and sweaty….and everyone else suffers for it!!
I don’t go anywhere that has no showers/cool air!
Me too! Haha
I actually tried to invent a face antiperspirant because I hate sweat so much. Especially at the hairline.
And by “actually tried to invent” I mean once, on vacation, I applied clear Secret to my hairline to prevent sweat hair. It was an epic fail. My hair was weird for days.
Bwahahahaha!!!! You’ve got to be kidding me! LOL!!! I used to do that same thing back in the day of the really big hair !!! I would put it on my hairline so my HUGE poufy bangs wouldn’t get sweaty!
Burning Man is awesome. Took 2 steam baths but did not shower for a week. Baby wipes are where its at. Seriously, you just go with it. I never pitched a tent before I went.
My camp’s website has been down for the past few days. Need to go crack skulls.
My friends in NC and I were talking about going to Burning Man next year…not for the Adam Lambert connection. We are all starving artists. A bunch of them just did a regional theatre production of Hair. Sweat doesn’t bother me after 10+ summers working at camp. 🙂
I didn’t go b/c of the Adam Lambert connection. And Burning Man is awesome. My own Republican (although I got her to say Libertarian when I was drunk one night) mother even claims I’m a better person since going. True story.
The whole creative community part of it makes me want to go so bad…the problem is getting people to actually commit to going with me. Most of my friends have a hard time committing to coming to see me in a show, let alone a week in the desert in California…
I am open to anything. My problem is getting my friends to go. I like this kind of stuff. Just for the experience atleast.
I pretty much went on my own and made amazing friends. You just have to find a camp, then you’re all set.
I might check it out. I will just have to drag my cousin away from her Newport Beach lifestyle. I can’t go by myself. I am independent but not that independent I am stupid 🙂
to go all alone
Crap TI not to knock you..I meant I personally would have to know someone… you seriously need an edit button 🙂
It was probably about 8 years ago when I heard of Burning Man. Always thought it would be fun to go. Only thing is I don’t tan very well.
However, if any of you decide to come to South East Asia, I’d recommend the Rainforest World Music Fest in Borneo every July.
Borneo in July can’t be much better than Gulf Coast Texas in July. You walk out the door, and into a sauna, right? I bet the bugs are fun too. At least I’d feel at home.
But didn’t you say you worked at Jewish camps, Patty? Yeah maybe a little sweat, but you sleep in nice cabins with hot showers. Or did you actually find a Jewish camp where they actually camped?
Ok, we had decent cabins with sometimes hot showers…but I was the arts director and always covered in paint, glue, and clay… 😉
And TI, that’s very tempting to just go on my own…wouldn’t be the first time I had an adventure like that. 🙂
Haha well that’s a little different then. Let me guess, 1/4 campers complained about actually having to touch the lay and get their hands dirty. Ewwww!
Hahahahaha. I love JAP camps.
I would never do that…lol
LOL! I once had a camper who decided her project of the day was to paint me, not a picture of me, actual me, pink…
The thing that worries me about the desert are the critters. Did you have to deal with any, TI?
Haha! That is amazing.
*shudder*
There aren’t any critters out there, except for microscopic crap that won’t bother you if you use baby wipes properly. No one wants playa foot.
Camps with AC was not a reality. Ceiling fans and windows with those Mosquito/bug nets on the windows since its summer they are open..hot as hell. Heat doesn’t bother me. Used to it.
