Baby D

Dear David Archuletta:  I hope you slept well and I hope you don't awake and read anything damaging regarding your slip-up last night. Forgive yourself.  You forgot the words.  So what?  You still are a great performer with such a rich and powerful voice.  And you're truly just adorable so I'm sure your fans (mostly young girls) dialed in and you'll be fine (though I'm sure Producers will capitalize on this and leave you in the hanging until the final minutes).  Shake it off, pull yourself together and don't give into the pressure.  Thanx, Baby D!  (Sidenote: I hear that the performance order is not planned but done so by Lotto. And yet, front runner, ratings grabber, David A is put at the end of the 2 hours again?)

That said, everyone was really good last night.  Not so fast Kristy Lee Cook!  What a misstep! If all goes well, she'll be gone.  I personally voted for Ramielle 10 times last night.  She's GOT to step up her game.  Too many ballads, RamRam!  Some of these kids need to take a lesson in Manilow modulations.  She needed one on "In My Life." Chickeze was a surprise, right? And David Daughtry Cook hit it outta there too. Aussie Man also turned in his best so far.

It's the Spitz!  Elliot Spitzer.  Wow!  I wish no ill-will on anyone but you can't help but feel a lot of bad karma hanging over this guy.  Spitzie cost record labels and radio companies millions and millions of dollars just a few short years ago and changed the industy for the worst.  While some can point to the internet for damaging the music biz, you have to also point a finger at this guy who made it difficult for radio to play new acts.

Liza with a Z!  It's Miss Minelli's 62nd Birthday.  I order you to rent Cabaret, New York New York, Arthur or her amazing Arrested Development episodes and celebrate her work.  It's terrific!

Have you seen Madonna's recent face?  Here she is at this weeks Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Uhm, did stock in Botox rise?  And that new song?  Did Nelly Furtado turn it down?  It's all Justin with Maddy slotted in there now & then.  This could be a disaster of Janet Jackson sized proportion.

Kathie Lee Gifford is going to host the 4th hour of "Today."  Welcome back.  I'm tiring a bit of The View so this could be, at the least, entertaining.
