Grey’s Anatomy readies for an Ellen Pompeo wedding while Tina Fey and Amy Poehler tag-team the laughs with 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation.
Before the Poehler and Fey bring the funny and Ellen Pompeo tries on wedding gowns — usually, I’m excited to see singers from the past make an appearance on American Idol. But last night’s disco tribute was an exception to that rule. All three artists: Freda Payne, Thelma Houston, and K.C. (of the Sunshine Band), all made poor showings. I love my disco but these three made me cringe. Seriously, American Idol, a disco tribute without Donna Summer — can’t be done.
As for the American Idol eliminations, Lil Rounds was unceremoniously chopped right at the start and I think that left her reeling. Anoop was given his ticket out at the end of the show.
I like Anoop’s voice but I’m amazed he lasted this long. I’m very curious to see where he ends up in this world.
David Archuleta performed on American Idol last night and gave the bottom two a nice speech about how losing on Idol didn’t mark the end of a person’s career.
It was a nice pep talk and very true as many of the Idol hopefuls have gone on to better careers than the winners did (Ruben Studdard).
The America’s Next Top Model girls were off to Brazil last night in a lackluster episode that saw the girls posing as Carmen Miranda wannabes. There was much complaining and backstabbing and $500 flip flops with crystals in the straps. Nasty Natalie was sent packing and she won’t be missed. Buh-bye.Now here’s something you don’t see every day — a schedule with only one rerun. Check this out.
