American Idol Season 7 Week 2 Night 1 - Our Take!
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

 

Click Here For Our CURRENT Items Listed Here!   Rock Comics Listed Here!
 
American Idol TV Show
Season 7  Week 2
Night 1 - The 'Boys'
02-26-08 Our Take
Theme Was "Classics From The Seventies"!
  
 
Last Night it was the 'boys' who performed... The Top 10 of them in a 90 minute show. Here are our 'scores', (based on 1-10, 10 being highest), on each performance with the 4th column showing the difference between my score and Tina's score. The 'boys' are listed in order of performance during the night, NOT by numerical score:
The 'Boys'

(No #)

Name of ContestantMichael's TakeScore DifferenceTina's Take
1Michael Johns   6.0   1.07.0
2

Jason Castro

   5.0   3.58.5

Luke Menard

   7.0   0.07.0
4Robbie Carrico   7.0   0.57.5
5Danny Noriega   7.0   0.07.0
6David Hernandez  7.5   1.08.5
7Jason Yeager    7.5  0.07.5
8Chikezie    7.5 1.08.5
9David Cook (pictured above)    8.5 0.08.5
10David Archuleta   8.0 1.09.0
        
        
 
FYI, for those that followed our American Idol Blog Posts last season... you'll know that Tina and I usually don't agree on the contestants' performances until the final weeks.
My Take on the Judges last night: 
Randy had good advice most of the night. 
Paula - What planet did you come in from to judge this year? Most of these performances were just plain average, but I believe I only heard you give a negative to just one of the performances.
Simon IMO really gave good critiques last night!
Tina's Take on the night:  "The Band was better than the singers tonight"!
Last night, the biggest difference between the scores was a 3.5 points difference with contestant #2 Jason Castro.  Michael didn't like the arrangement while Tina thought it was a good different version of the song!!
What we do this early in the process is to vote for the highest one or two contestants per the score we gave them.  Michael voted for David Cook while Tina voted for David Archuleta!  Both of us thought that last night's performances were rather average which reflects in Michael's scores until the final 2 performances, while Tina's numbers were a bit higher in more cases... I am beginning to think that she is starting to play favorites already... LOL!
When the Top 24 starts getting down to the Top 12, then we'll start adding more than just a 'numerical' score. Due to space limitations on the eBay Blog format that we first post in,  we only have so much room to blog...
Well... that's it for 'The Boys'... Tonight are 'The Girls'.  Be back tomorrow when we blog about 'Our Take' on American Idol's Girls! FYI, we are on the West Coast by Legoland so there is a time zone difference in our viewing and blogging between our East Coast readers!
For those that missed our previous blog posts on this TV Show.... Please see the following link for our previous blog post. We have been blogging about Season 7 since the first week:

Oscar Winner Diablo Cody's Tattoo and Animal Print Shift...
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

 

Reminded Me Of Sheena & Bettie Page!

 

Sheena, Queen of The Jungle & The 'Notorious' Bettie Page That Is!

 

We have previously blogged that Jungle Comics are a comic book genre that is starting to come back into favor with publishers and fans, what with Sheena, Shanna and other Jungle Queens being redone today as GGA (Good Girl Art)!

Diablo Cody won an Oscar last night for the 'Best Original Screenplay'.

Tina and I have not yet seen the movie, nor did I know much about her except for what was said on the Academy Awards show.

What definitely got my attention was Diablo's outfit she wore to pick up her Oscar onstage.

The outfit was an animal print shift, and she sported what appeared to be a tattoo of a girl in bondage.

What with the movement of her arm and the cameras, I couldn't make out what the rest was...

So checking the internet, I found that the tattoo indeed was a girl in bondage, (her when she had red hair) and with a new batch of shiny red roses. 

Appears she had her ex-husbands' name 'Jonny' on the tatoo, 'Jonny's Girl', and with their split up had the roses added covering his name.

With her black hair resembling a 'Bettie Page' look, and the animal print shift and the girl in bondage tattoo... well I thought the whole ensemble was like looking at Bettie Page in a Sheena Bondage film shoot!

We are running the photo at the top right in conjuction with our jungle comics and mags that are now listed in our eBay Featured Store!

We have an ongoing comic book convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! Just click on the cover at the top left to see our Jungle genre listings!

Thanks for reading our pop culture - comics - comic book blog post!

Not the usual attire for a receipient of an Oscar... but then again the Fashion Designer that won an Oscar had on a not-so-spectacular outfit herself.

Above is Diablo Cody, 'exotic dancer' turned screenwriter with her modified tattoo and animal print shift while holding her Oscar.

Below is a photo of Bettie (Betty) Page in an animal print outfit similar to what Sheena Queen of the Jungle wore in the comics.

Topic: Comic Book History

 

Click here to see Jack Kirby Quarterly and Jack Kirby Collector and More listings! 

Above is one of the OOP Printings of the 1st issue of the Jack Kirby collector that has been Out Of Print for several years!

This series has my recommendation for those that either want to know more about Jack (King) Kirby or just love to look at his artwork!

For our current Jack Kirby listings, including THE JACK KIRBY QUARTERLY, THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR, and miscellaneous collectible Kirby items, just click on the photo ABOVE!

Jack 'King' Kirby

Collector Magazines

 Going... Going...!

 

I have mentioned in an earlier blog post that we would be listing our own back issues of this publication early this year after I had read them one more time!

Well.... now's the time to check what's still available, as all of the standard sized issues are either listed or have already been sold! I have listed all of them with the exeception of the oversized issues (starting with #31 - 49) in our eBay Featured (Premium) Store right now!

Be sure to continue to check back for those listings, as the earliest issues are OOP, (Out of Print), which is why they were 'Collected' into TPB format to begin with!

For those that need an intro to Jack Kirby... Think 'Fantastic Four', 'Mighty Thor', 'Darkseid', 'Incredible Hulk', 'Fourth World' of DC Comics Universe, just for starters!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and feel free to check out our listings by clicking on the top left photo!
