Reaction: Karen Rodriguez Kicked Off Idol
By
S. Russ
Let’s start off with what was right – Haley Reinhart and Naima Adedapo being in the bottom two. In a night of mostly subpar performances, they were two of the worst. I was surprised though, to see Karen in the bottom three. As a result, I was even more surprised to see her booted off…
Ke$ha Takes Communion
By
S. Russ
Okay, she didn’t really take communion, but she did drink blood during a performance of her song “Cannibal.” It appears that the blood came from some kind of heart, but whether it is real or a prop isn’t entirely clear. All I know is that it is pretty disgusting, but I’m not sure whether it…

S. Russ
Just a couple of neat links for today! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone has to start somewhere, and I got my music blogging start at SceneSC.com.

S. Russ
If you watched Glee tonight then you might have heard a little gem called “Jesus Is My Friend.” The original performers are a group called Sonseed, and I was shocked to learn that they have a wikipedia page. This song is both heartfelt and funny, although it isn’t really clear which part of that is…

By
S. Russ
If you have been wondering what the hottest music video out right now is, then feast your eyes on Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” It is a bit like Justin Bieber meets Ke$ha meets the worst thing that I have ever heard – and at least 7 million people have watched it. I recognize that I’m…

Thursday Night Idol Time!
By
S. Russ
Ah, Thursday night American Idol – the weekly bid to turn 20 minutes of television into a full hour. If Wednesdays are the tough nights for the contestants, then Thursdays are the tough nights for the producers and writers who have to come up with at least marginally entertaining ways to keep an audience. How…
Some Things Never Change
By
S. Russ
Since I mentioned my family in yesterday’s U2 post, I thought I should share a picture of them so that you can feel more connected to the story. Here’s my favorite one: Yep, there’s my family, lovingly rendered by myself as a 9 year old. I don’t know what I’m more shocked at – how…

By
S. Russ
They say that 13 is an unlucky number. Did I feel unlucky having to watch these 13 contestants perform? Let’s find out! Lauren Alaina – Performing the Shania Twain hit “Any Man of Mine,” Lauren got the night started off in a dull and pitchy way. She has a strong voice but really seemed to…
