Due to a VCR programming error, I missed the first two-thirds of American Idol tonight. I take it the first songs (of which I only saw the brief snippets in the recap) were the contestants' selections? Because no way would the judges ever have picked "Saving All My Love for You" for Jasmine (though they might well have picked "Chain of Fools" for Fantasia).
Anyway, from my limited-to-the-last-song standpoint, nothing new to report. Jasmine is still a shouter who doesn't quite make all the high notes (and on each one she has to have her head cocked to the same precise angle--back and to her right--and her eyes closed). Diana is a shouter who is irredeemably ugly and can't dance. And Fantasia actually has some real talent (though I'd kind of like to fix her teeth).
Clive Davis is looking oddly preserved. Not like good-for-his-age, more like Vladimir Lenin in a glass box.
In other reality TV notes, is anyone else watching Colonial House? I am a total sucker for these things. Is it just me, or is this guy (bad picture) kind of hot?
