Our Take On The Results Show - American Idol 02-28-08
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

Our Take On
The American Idol
Results Show
02-28-08
  
 
Thursday Night it was the 'Results Show' where the results of "America's" votes were broadast.
 
This was the Second Results Show of Season 7, where 2 'boys' and 2 'girls' were sent home.
 
The below were the scores of the contestants that were sent home as ranked by Tina and Michael the night of their performance:
 
The 'Results'
 

(No #)

Name of ContestantMichael's TakeScore DifferenceTina's Take
1Jason Yeager   7.5  0.07.5
2

Alexandrea Lushington (pictured above)

   6.0   1.07.0
3

Alaina Whitaker

   8.5   1.07.5
4Robbie Carrico   7.0   0.57.5
      
     
 
The votes for so early in the process were high in number. Almost 31 million votes came in.
 
Also, my question on what Simon was doing with his hand during the show was semi-answered. This was because Ryan Seacrest's mother wanted Ryan to ask Simon what he was doing. Simon said it was a 'secret code'.... right!   LOL!
 
The following are our thoughts after watching the performances nights and the results show night:
 
Tina said that 2 of her 3 lowest scoring girls left last night... so she must have the pulse of America better than I do... LOL.  Tina also said at this stage of the process that there are usually too many of the same 'type' of girls and that the public can't differentiate between them, which is why you'll see some get booted off quickly because the votes are split between them...
 
Michael said that Alexandrea Lushington, (sorry about mis-spelling her name in an earlier post), was his lowest scoring girl, and no surprise she was booted off.
 
Tina has admitted to Michael that she is playing 'favorites' earlier this year, whereas Michael is judging by performances only at this point. He has no 'favorites' as of yet!
 
Also there's NEWS! On March 11th, the Top 12 Contestants go to a New Set!  Plus that is the Night the Lennon-McCartney Songbbook is opened for the first time for American Idol!
 
For those that missed our previous blog posts on this TV Show.... Please see the following link for our most previous blog post. We have been blogging about Season 7 since the first week:

Happy Early Birthday To Mark Evanier!

 

Mark's birthday is March 2nd... and I wanted to wish him an early Happy Birthday here in our blog post today!

He was born the same year I was, in 1952, and like myself shows no sign of slowing down... especially when seen at the SDCC San Diego Comic Con International each year!

The man must have at least 9 programs each year to moderate, and I usually take in most of those programs in either the full hour or as much as I can squeeze in between other simualtaneous programs!

Mark was fortunate to have worked for Jack 'King' Kirby for several years, and is the right person to host the Annual Jack Kirby Tribute. Additionally, until his Ultimate Jack Kirby Book is finalized, he has a current Jack Kirby Coffee Table Book out right now!

You might want to check that out....

Also, Mark is a great writer in own right, having written for TV Shows, comics and more! 

For those that are interested in comics and magazines illustrated by Jack Kirby, we have several of those listed in our eBay Featured Store !

For those of you that can't make it to comic cons to see great programs like Mark Evanier moderates... We have an ongoing comic book convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale! Just click on the pic at the top left to see our listings!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post !

...the

X-Men 3:

 Last Stand 

Movie!

 

Now that was something I didn't know until watching the after the Academy Shows!

Tina and I have not yet viewed the film 'Juno', as it hadn't hit our viewing queque yet.

So I just became familar with Ellen Page while watching the Red Carpet Show before the Oscars presentation.

Of course when she's in scenes with Halle Berry as shown at the above left, you know I'd be looking at Halle instead! LOL!

Ellen did play opposite the 'Juggernaut' in the film and as I recall did a good job of portraying the young 'Kitty Pryde' in the film.... 

For those that are interested in more about Kitty Pryde, Storm or others of the Uncanny X-men, we have several listed in our eBay Featured Store !

For those of you that can't make it to comic cons... We have an ongoing comic book convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale! Just click on the pic at the top left to see our listings!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post !

Our Take American Idol 02-27-08 TV Show
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 2 - The 'Girls'
02-27-08 Our Take
Theme Was "Classics From The Seventies"!
  
 
Last Night it was the 'girls' 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 'girls' are listed in order of performance during the night, NOT by numerical score:
The 'Girls'
 

(No #)

Name of ContestantMichael's TakeScore DifferenceTina's Take
1Carly Smithson   7.5   0.58.0
2

Syesha Mercado

   7.0   2.09.0
3

Brooke White

   7.0   1.08.0
4Ramiele Mulaby   7.0   1.58.5
5Kristy Lee Cook (pictured above)  8.5   0.08.5
6Amanda Overmyer 8.0   0.08.0
7Alaina Whitaker    8.5  1.07.5
8Alesandrea Washington    6.0 1.07.0
9Kady Malloy   7.0 1.08.0
10Asia'h Epperson   6.5 0.06.5
        
        
 
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... maybe by that time we've worn each other out judging???? LOL.
 
Michael's question of the night: When did Simon pick up that weird five finger (whole hand) way of resting his head on his hand??? 
 
Last night, the biggest difference between the scores was a 2.0 points difference with contestant #2 Syesha Mercado.  Michael didn't like the arrangement of the song while Tina thought it was a good enough performance for her to vote for!  Go Figure?!
 
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 Kristy Lee Cook (pictured at top right), while Tina voted for Syesha Mercado! We each only voted for one...  Both of us thought that last night's performances were rather average which reflects in Michael's scores with several 7.0s.  Tina's numbers were a bit higher in more cases... I am really 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 Girls'... Tonight are 'The Results'.  Be back tomorrow when we blog about 'Our Take' on American Idol's Week 2 Results!  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!

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...
