American Idol Finalists On Larry King Show 05-26-08 Part 2
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: TV Shows

 

The 'American Idol' Winner 

 

Plus The  American Idol  Finalists

On The Larry King Show 05-26-08

Part 2

 

 

 

The American Idol Finalists were once again featured on the hour long Larry King Show Monday May 26th, 2008 in the second hour of this special show. Here are some of the comments made during that airing:

Larry King asks - One of the problems of the show is thought to be that the contestants are forced to do vocal gymnastics. Is that true? Brook - That's not true. DC - This show helps find artists/performers who otherwise didn't have a chance in this industry.

Re: Song Choice: Carly - No one helps us on the song choices, they are not allowed to. DC said that no help is given to maintain the integrity of the show. Brooke said on the 'Theme Nights' a list of songs is provided to choose from.

Re: Mentors, Carly said that they found out as the audience found out... no advance notice.

Larry asked if there would be any 'Meet n' Greets' before the American Idol Tour Shows, Michael said 'Absoulutely!'.

Larry brought up that Tivo / DVR users missed out on the winner's announcement. They heard 'The Winner is David...' and then the Tivo /DVR cut off. David A still didn't know about that as of last night! So they definitely were cut off from the rest of the world during Idol days!

Re: David Hernandez as a stripper: Michael Johns said 'Larry, if I had a body like David's, I'd strip too! Larry laughing said, 'Michael you ought to on the road!'

Re: Ryan Seacres - Michael Johns said he called him 'One Take Seacrest' as Ryan comes in and does his thing without rehearsal for the most part. DC said that Ryan is a jack of all trades. Larry added 'the man is fixated. We love him BTW'.

Re: how much prep was done for audtioning. Tina suggested that a better question would be: David Cook went to Idol to support his brother and tried out on a whim. How do the other contestants feel about that?!

The Friday, May 23rd Larry King's 'American Idol' Finalist show has already been blogged about earlier. Check our archived blog posts for that first hour's info!

American Idol Finalists On Larry King Show 05-26-08 Part 1

The 'American Idol' Winner 

Plus The  American Idol  Finalists On Larry King Show 05-26-08

Part 1

The American Idol Finalists were once again featured on the hour long Larry King Show Monday May 26th, 2008 in Part 2 of this special show. Here are some of the comments made during that airing:

Michael Johns was still in Las Vegas even though he was announced to be in LA with the rest... When asked why Michael said 'because I'm taking a card dealing class to fall back on', (tongue in cheek). When asked again he quipped he was there for the sun but it had been overcast all weekend. You would think Larry's producers would have told him why...

Re: Monetary compensation - Carly 'yes we do get paid' from AFTRA and iTunes. Brooke said payment 'progresses as it goes on' shows wise.

Chickeze on why only one name - Got to be irritating hearing my name, Chickeze Eze.

Jason on why the hair - did it as a joke in high school. Would auction off a lock or two...

DC - re: Kimberly Caldwell - Can't get together yet, due to schedules.

DC & DA & Chickeze are only ones that are single. Rest of the Finalists are engaged or married.

Re: Odds of a guy winning vs girl - Brooke says 'guys have it easier because girls go crazy over guys'.

Jason on what he 'mouthed' - Don't Vote or Vote Vote? Upon multiple replays he can see how it does look like 'Don't Vote'.

Re: who picks the clothes? Carly - One stylist for the boys, and one for the girls. No one forced to wear certain things. However there is a budget.

What don't you like? Jason - indoors a lot, no windows, and it's sunny outside!

Why does DC wear an orange bracelet? A Tampa Bay girl has leukemia. She's 9 or 10 years old, had talked 5 minutes with her and her dad. Reminds him that 'The show is amazing, but not everything'.

Who would you most like to duet with, (living or dead?) - DC said Frank Sinatra. DA - David Cassidy. Syesha -Alicia Keys, Michael Johns - Annie Lennox.

Larry says 'Mormons win a lot of reality shows'. DA says 'Not THIS one!'.

Re: Simon's comments: Carly - He hurt my feelings, (re: clothes). Syesha - he helped me. DC - Looking back on it, he appreciates him.

Do the judges have influence over the voting? Brooke 'A Lot!'.

(To Be Continued... in upcoming blog post.)

Reed Richards Bugs the Heck Out of Me!
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: Comic Book History

 

Reed Richards

Bugs the Heck

Out of Me!

 

I don't know why, but just the sight of Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four) annoys me no end. 

I can't stand him.  I don't know if it's his horrible haircut, his boring personality or his long-winded speeches - okay it's probably all of that.

He's so annoying that you really have to wonder what in the world Sue sees in him. 

She must be able to see the invisible in addition to being invisible. 

What were Stan Lee and Jack Kirby thinking when they created him?  "Oh, let's make a hero everyone can hate!"?

Ioan Gruffud plays him to perfection in the FF movies.  I can say this because I love him as an actor, having seen him in "Horatio Hornblower" and "Amazing Grace."  But in the FF movies - he bugs the heck out of me!

Why am I venting on this today?

I just spent several hours listing dozens of Fantastic Four comics in our eBay store - and I'm just sick of looking at Reed Richards!

Tina!

A Long Indy Weekend!

'Indiana Jones' Grosses $101 Million Barely Topping Iron Man by $300,000 for Opening Weekend Bragging Righbts this Summer!

It's been a long Indy weekend for us.  After seeing the movie ('Indiana Jones' and The Temple of the Crystal Skull) on Saturday, it seems people everywhere are asking us what we think of it.  Even loyal blog readers are emailing us wondering.


And, today we got held up in the grocery checkout by the store manager wanting to know all about it, (much to the consternation of the guy behind us!)

You can read 'Our Take' by clicking here. (It even includes a youth perspective from Michael's youngest son.)

Teri Hatcher At American Idol Finale's Red Carpet
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

 

Teri Hatcher

 

On The

 American Idol 

 Finale Red Carpet!

 

The American Idol Finale Show was a long one... ran overtime as usual for this show lately...

There were so many scenes or segments on this American Idol Finale and Red Carpet previews, that we have been blogging about them separately.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I have enjoyed watching Terri Hatcher's career since first seeing her in Quantum Leap, where she was Sam's girlfriend! She was also one of the few reasons I would catch the 'Lois and Clark' TV Show... and is the main reason I started viewing 'Desperate Housewives' when it started!

I missed seeing Teri Hatcher  on the American Idol Red Carpet previews, so thought I would share the above photo of her at the top right!

Can't see all the shows all the time you know!

Tonight, (Monday May 26th, 2006), Larry King will be having all ten of the American Idol Finalists on his show, in a Part 2 of his interview of them that was started on Friday night.  We have already blogged about Part 1 and are looking forward to tonight's show!

Will probably have a blog about that tomorrow, should you miss the show and like to know some of what was said....

Thanks for reading this blog post, and all of the others you may have read during this loooong Season 7!  Michael's comments have already been blogged in Part 1 and Tina's was in Part 2 of the Season Finale Results Show blog posts!

We have an ongoing Comic Con and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

Thanks for reading our Pop Culture - comics - comic book blog post today and join us again!
