American Idol Finale, gym joke
The American Idol finale was entertaining. I was glad Taylor won, out of the two he was the one that deserved it. Katherine was almost like a she-bot, she looked great but had nothing that made her unique from all the other female performers on the scene today. Taylor has a unique style and personality that made him popular.
There were many strange moments throughout the show. Some of the pairings with current artists made no sense. Mary J Blige looked like a freak and totally drowned out Elliot. Her stupid gyrations were much more distracting than entertaining. Toni Braxton butchered her performance with Taylor. When was the last time anyone even cared about Toni Braxton? She was acting like she was still super hot, but she isn’t. I love Meatloaf but his performance with Katherine was horrid. He looked like a bum in a suit. Ali thought Dionne Warwick looked great, I didn’t. She sang well enough though.
The funniest moment of the night was when the dorky Clay Aiken wannabe kid came out and they had him sing and then surprised him by bringing Clay Aiken out in the middle of the song. The kid was so surprised. Then he continued with an impromptu duo with Clay even though they turned off the dorky kids microphone. Eventually Ryan told him to sit down but he kept singing along. It was hilarious. Clay’s new hairstyle is disturbing. Every time I see him I can’t help thinking about the interview I heard on the Stern Show with a guy that swears Clay picked him up off the internet and had some very rough gay sex with him. He just seems very phony to me now.
It was interesting seeing Prince trot out there. Even though he is well into his 40’s he looked ok besides the bufont hairstyle. His performance was good although I would have rather saw him perform one of his old hits. It was interesting how he strutted off the stage immediately after his performance, ignoring Ryan Seacrest.
Of course the best moment of the night was when an astute camera man caught David Hasselhoff tearing up as Taylor was announced as the winner. Damn he must be pissed, good luck living that down. Funny, funny shit.
I went to Planet Fitness last night with Ali since I was doing back and abs and could still do that with the equipment they have left. There were a lot of pissed off people there. I talked to a guy about the gym BS for a good 10 to 15 minutes before I even got started. They were playing ridiculous music. It was easy listening mixed with golden oldies. I had a hard time focusing to do anything. I found myself laughing in the middle of most sets when I heard one silly song after another come on. I was doing back rows to “Dancing in the Moonlight”. One of the “lunks” who still has his membership at PF but also joined Powerhouse told me a funny story. He went to Planet Fitness earlier in the week but wore a Powerhoue Gym shirt there as a big FU. Well as he was on the cardio machine the gym owner asked him to come to his office after he was done. The guy went in and was told he wasn’t allowed to wear a Powerhouse shirt there, it was disrespectful. This guy also like to wear a bandana under a baseball cap when he works out. He was told that was no longer allowed as well tank tops and big gallon jugs of water on the gym floor, all forbidden. I am surprised the owner didn’t get his neck snapped as the guy he was chastising is as strong as an ox. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I said how it sounded like he was being scolded in Junior High by the principal. That place will be out of business within a year, guaranteed. Dumb f’rs.
