Drama Queens of the Sunset Strip



Sorry this is late, Idol chitchatters! Been a busy week, but now that I have had time to absorb this week’s bitchslapping good time in Hollywood, I can throw it out there.

It’s all about the drama. In order to keep the audience interested, the Idol producers put their iron-clad stamp of “Drama Guaranteed” on the shows from Hollywood week. Let’s skip straight to the Group performances. We all know that the sh*t would be hitting the fan with some of these chowderheads. Leave your ego at the door, people! The concept of teamwork didn’t dawn on quite a few of them and the potential chemistry turned into a potpourri of dog poo.


Let’s take the group with that walking annoyance-rod, Tatiana “the laughing windbag” Del Terror. Laugh, Cry, Piss and Moan, Rinse, Repeat. Do they do mental illness screens on these people? I have never wanted someone to fail so badly. The rest of her group was slightly better. When they performed their song in horrendous fashion, I was convinced that all 4 were leavin on a jet plane. Phhhhtttt! WHAT? WHO? WHEN? HOW? They all made it through! Are you e’fn kiddin me?

Save the drama for Obama… Next we have the trio of terrors. The goofy crybaby boy, the blonde whose voice needs a rest stop, and the feisty red-haired hair-dresser with the personality of sandpaper. What makes this story even better is that Spatiana tried to join them and even THEY were too dysfunctional for her! So, the 3 whinettes did their thing, and Doofus and Blondie make it, but Red gets cut and she is PISSED. At this point, I am laughing because she was so mean to everyone—good riddance and don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

And finally, Itsy Bitsy Brain, weenie in a bikini. Ok, let’s face it—she got what she wanted—15 minutes of shame. Any publicity is good pub, even if it’s bad. And that is what Katrina the slutt got herself plenty of. She ruined her group with her unwillingness to work and practice, then threw gas on the fire by not showing up, then showing up late. Then she gets the boot and refuses to get along with her team—“I don’t want to be fake” she quips. Hey, you are the epitome of fake, you ditz!

Fan faves Hippie blonde orphan (Rose) and Pink Rocker (Emilie) also get axed. For how much time they were given in the early auditions, you would have thought both would have made it further???

As for good performances, The first group that went (White Chocolate) was awesome—that routine was TIGHT. The Oil Rig guy and the other dude who looks like a biker did very well too. The Goth kid with the eye makeup was impressive as well…and then there’s Danny Gokey---can we pick a frontrunner this early? I can’t see how this guy can lose this competition. He’s got the voice, look and the back story to get him votes the rest of his life. He’ll just need to remember one thing, and I say this every freakin’ year… SONG CHOICE man. If he can master that, he’s your winner.

On the girl side, I think Jasmine has a good shot, but they really haven’t shown that many great girl performances, unless you count the drama. Maybe next week.
