I hate to do this again, but I have to...

I never planned for this to turn into an American Idol Recap blog, but here we are. On the plus side, I was watching Raptors-Hornets at the same time, so there are gaps... if anyone was watching more diligently than I, please feel free to scold me for missing some real "winners" in the comments section...

First, I'm a little impressed with the gumption and industriousness of the chick from Ohio who lied to her parents about where she was. But I'm a little disheartened that her dad seemed like such a dick. Who doesn't support their kids? Like, you don't always have to agree with their plans, but be serious... the chick was a pretty good signer, and she wanted to pursue it? Support her, dagnabbit! She's your kid! That's what parents are supposed to do.... And while the reaction over the phone was nice enough (apart from her having to introduce herself on the phone), it wasn't exactly warm. "Just as long as you get home safe" is a long way from "I'm so proud of you!"

Sarah Goldberg must be clinically insane. "I can't sing, but I can be the first American Idol who can't sing! I'll be unique!!!" I think she uniquely missed the fucking point of the show.....

And seriously... why do people argue with the judges? Why do you audition when you can't sing?!?

Also, who cares if they were out drinking? Is that somehow affecting their reasoning? They're professionals... if you can't sing, you can't sing. Whether they're hungover or not doesn't really affect their abilities... although, if their hangovers are anything like mine, it may affect their ability to be charitable with the people who suck.....

Are people born in other countries allowed to be the American Idol? That chick from Ottawa, now living in Santa Monica, could have a shot.

Sadly, I missed the Crazy Cow Girl in order to see Vince Carter's crazy over-the-seven-footer dunk on The Best Damned Sports Show Period's Top 50 Dunks of Alltime. I'm sure she was horrific.

PS: Chris Bosh showed some serious "onions" in hitting that game-tying three last night. Dude is money!! And Jose Calderone seems to be filling in for T.J. Ford nicely. Could bode well for having a two point guard lineup to deal with any pressure D in the future.

PPS: I couldn't care less about the NHL All-Star game. I really couldn't. Apparently I'm much like the population of Dallas...
