Pants On The Ground and Around Our Ankles

The Vikings came up big this past Sunday with their dismantling on The Dallas Cowboys with a 34-3 victory in the dome. They now advance to the NFC Championship Game against the red hot Saints. If Dallas didn't feel bad enough after the loss they now get to watch Farve and the boys celebrate in the locker room with their version of "Pants On The Ground" over and over again on You Tube! The Cowboys have a song to sing too. It's called "Pants On The Ground and Around Our Ankles", because they got bent over and then sent home to clean up! How bout' them Cowboys!

'American Idol' hopefuls shine in solos

LOS ANGELES – Adam Lambert was among several "American Idol" hopefuls who gave the judges something to believe in during the final round of Hollywood Week.


Lambert, the theater actor who wowed the judges with a stripped down version of Cher's "Believe," was one of the contestants put through to the next stage of competition on the Fox singing contest.


During Tuesday's episode, 72 hopefuls performed with a band, backup singers and — if they chose — instruments.


A few of the contestants, including Joanna Pacitti and Casey Carlson, flubbed the lyrics. Stephen Fowler also forgot the words — twice. That didn't seem to matter though because they made it, along with such hopefuls as oil rig worker Michael Sarver, mother-of-three Lil Rounds, over-the-top comedian Nick Mitchell and blind pianist Scott MacIntyre.


The oh-so-emotional Tatiana Del Toro received the most screen time during Tuesday's episode. At one point, the cryin' crooner was shuffled from one room of anxious hopefuls to another.


She thought that meant she was out of the competition.


Surprise!


Del Toro and the others will perform at the "judges' mansion" during Wednesday's episode, in which the 36 semifinalists will be revealed.


Among those who didn't make the cut: rapping college student India Morrison and Michael Castro, the little brother of last season's fourth-place finisher, Jason Castro.

American Idol - You Be the Judge

The 2009 season of American Idol premiered Tuesday January 13th on Fox. Season eight introduced thousands of hopefuls pursuing their dreams of becoming America’s next idol. This year introduces a new idol judge Kara DioGuardi. She is a singer, songwriter, producer and artist who may be new to the Idol stage, but she’s a formidable force in the music industry. What would she bring to the table? How would she fit into the mix? It’s still early, but we’ll give her a tentative thumb’s-up for now.

In her first “Idol” outing, DioGuardi encountered a sweet-natured fan girl and a mouthy babe in a bikini. The fan went home; the babe went to Hollywood — much to the disgust of DioGuardi.

Stealing the show and setting a new bar on Idol was Scott MacIntyre, a 23-year-old Arizona hopeful who is almost completely blind. He performed a fascinating depiction of Billy Joel’s “And So it Goes” and was unanimously voted to go to Hollywood. This is one of those inspirational stories upon which “Idol” thrives, so expect to see a lot more of Scott.

This year there seems to be more variety. Tonight’s show (January 14th) brought a young mother of three and recent tornado victim, Lil Rounds. She and her family lost their apartment home and are still picking up the pieces. Randy said on the show that she was a cross between “Fantasia” and” Mary J. Blige.” She was humble and outstanding vocally and will definitely be in the Show's Top 12.

Of course, there are still six cities left, and loads of unseen talent yet to be discovered. This year’s season of Idol will definitely be one to be remembered.


Good luck hopefuls!
