Gurlz Gurlz: Well, if the Boyz triumphed with their comeback on Tuesday, the Girlz proved to be overwhelmed and turned in a weak night of singing and song choices. I liked Carly (tho' her rocker tats, Glamor Shots Photo Hair 'do, combined with her big vocals on a rocker, Pop song just didn't jell). Granted, Kelly Clarkson didn't become a rocker-girl over night, but I feel Carly wants to be Pink without an ounce of P's edge. I thought Brooke's "Battlefield" choice was great, as was the arrangement. It's the best she's sounded, tho' I do feel, that her male counterpart is Jason Castro. She is the Sheryl Crow to his John Mayer - not the best singers but more-so singer/songwriter artists. And while I hated her song choice of "Against All Odd," I still love Ramiele's smokey voice, which would have soared on a Lisa Stansfield or Taylor Dayne hit. And while I'm at it, why not make a great performance out of previously-thought-cheese? Tiffany's "Coulda Been," or Deb Gibson's "Lost In Your Eyes" are primed for a cool update, whether it be a modern power ballad or emo-rock update.
E! Online is reporting that the stellar "Friday Night Lights" will return to NBC in the Fall and will also air on a special FNL Channel on DirectTV. I can't urge you enough to make this the Summer of FNL! Get the DVD's (Netflix) or iTunes 'em. But watch this wonderful, dramatic, inspiring show about family life in a small town - not necessarily a Football team. And, once again, there's great eye candy: Taylor Kitsch (pictured). This pick-up is great news, especially after NBC announced SIX one-hour reality shows coming up!? They've almost redeemed themselves.
My friend Laine (aka Elle) retuned from about 6 weeks in Australia. (Must be nice.) So, his TV catch-up last night of course included Idol, where he said he passed gas that sounded better than the first 2 girl singers. I also received texts regarding his other TV viewing: "Moment of Truth," which I quickly made him change. Next: a comment on Mark McGrath being a sell-out, viewing Bob Mackie Wearable Art on QVC (which he watched for a while, 'natch), then "Wow! Nina Garcia? Gr8 facelift!," followed by proclaiming his love for Loni Love on "Chelsea Handler." Nice to have you back on the show, Laine.
Tonight: Lost and a Blake Lewis return to Idol (what!?) And I'm preparing for hurricanes Erotica and TeenBeat blowin' through Weho from SF this weekend!
