CURTAINS!

I just found out that I was cast in "Curtains" at Hale. The show just got off broadway and this is the Regional Premiere. It is a fast paced, murder-mystery, musical comedy. The script is very clever. I imagine it will be a fan favorite. Probably one of the best shows you've never heard of.



As you can see, this was the show David Hyde Pierce starred in on Broadway. I will be playing Bobby, the Dancer/Choreographer/Leading Man of the show with in the show. I highly recommend you come see the show. It runs October 5-November 21st. I'll let you know later what nights I am in the show.

RBBADDK (Susan Boyle Sucks)

I stopped writing my American Idol blog because I stopped caring about the show. For the two of you who care, here are some thoughts to sum up the last couple weeks of the show: The most talented person didn't win. The two most innovative people were in the Finale. Kris still looks super awk when singing high with his tight jaw. Adam still wears crazy shit.

I do love the big controversy surrounding the voting right now though. Quick update for those of you who haven't heard: There were some AT&T employees at a couple Kris Allen parties in Arkansas showing the guests there how to "Power Text." Power Texting sends up to 10 messages with the click of a button and is "not allowed" for voting. They were even rumored to have supplied AT&T cell phones to people at the party who don't have AT&T. (You can only text vote with AT&T).



Fox's response? "Who cares. It's our show and we can do whatever we want" (Ok, so that's not an exact quote). I still do and will enjoy the show even if it might be a little rigged. It's a TV show first and foremost- Talent Competition second.

Now onto some more awesome thoughts:

-I saw a Danny Gokey look-a-like today. Even down to the 2-day beard and square glasses. It turns out I know who he is. I know what you are wondering and the answer is yes. Unlike Danny Gokey, this ass clown is a douche bag.

-Susan Boyle sucks. Her story is touching. Her voice, however, is super sucky. Would I boo her off the stage if she was singing in Church? No. But I wouldn't even cast her in a show if I was looking for a frumpy, frizzy haired, late 40s, british woman for a show. I am very pleased she did not win.

-Speaking of Britain's Got Talent- Why don't they get better singers on there? The best singer by far on the whole show was a 12 year old boy. The dance crews were pretty entertaining though.

-You probably shouldn't be engaged if we were making out no more than 6 weeks before. Just sayin.

-If you are a fan of Superman but don't know much of his story, please don't actively pursue the knowledge of his life. I promise it will just make you mad. As charming as Chris Reeves was, those Superman movies are super lame to the max. And the new one? Just as bad. Just go on enjoying the fact that he is a good guy who takes off his glasses and parts his hair to the other side and people don't recognize him. Don't worry about how he got his powers.

-As I stopped in Brigham City for a drink and to use the restroom, I was forced to come to this conclusion: Urinals should never have drain holes shaped like the male anatomy. You may try and tell me It's a coincidence, but I don't agree. Someone thinks they are funny. Never seen such a thing? Well I have proof that it does exist.



-My hell I get sick of reading some facebook statii. I am not saying I agree or disagree with this whole gay marriage ban. But what I will say is that I agree with the Supreme Court upholding the results of the vote that took place. WE as people have the RIGHT to vote. Would it not be unconstitutional to overturn what the majority of Californians voted for? Does that mean it's right? ..It doesn't completely matter at this point. That's why we vote on things. Put your energy to good use and start preparing your efforts to get it on the ballot again soon.

AI Recap (top 4)

Adam Lambert: Hate the hair but was actually ok with his odd outfit. Maybe Rock and Roll is this dude's calling. He could have for sure rocked it hard in the Eighties. And done lots of dudes with thick mustaches. Probably shouldn't say this (cause it was Led Zeppelin) but didn't love the song. He sung the crap out if it.

Allison Iraheta: Love the hair this week (what the hell? Am I Paula?). Ok, I freaking love her. That's all. I don't even care if she was slightly pitchy towards the end of the song.

Kris and Danny: Kinda cool that they are singing together. Danny sounded awesome- Kris was good. Their Harmonies were pretty nice and tight.

Kris Allen: Dug it, but probably cause I love the song. Nothing out of this world, but good. His tone alone did change up the style of the song, but it wasn't special.

Danny Gokey: I think he is reading my blog because he has improved the verses of his songs a lot. Still better when the song picks up in the chorus though. That scream was DISGUSTING and I don't mean that in a good way.

Adam and Allison: Of course they had to have a special entrance... And this Adam Outfit=not ok. At least we know that he actually has junk? They looked like they were really having a good time. I respect that. The song was enjoyable mostly because of that.


I don't know what I want. Everyone is really good this year. I choose Kris to go home though. I am worried about Allison though.

AI Recap (top 5)

I love this crew of people. Everyone of them can sing and everyone of them has a different style. Love it.

This was the best week so far for me. I love the old standards. Thank you Rat Pack

Kris Allen: I love that song, it was a nice arrangement. Nothing super unique about it. But he sounded good. He was iffy when flipping up to his false, but overall I enjoyed it.

Allison Iraheta: Holy freaking curse words. She Rocked this song so hard. She was outstanding. I absolutely loved it. I don't remember her showing the nice side of her voice yet and WOW, she nailed it.

Matt Giraud: Did some absolutely fantastic stuff in the song. His runs were spot on and that sustained note that Mr Foxx told him to hold out was superb. I do actually think the original key he sang it in with Jamie Foxx was a better key for him. The verse sounded better the very first time we heard him sing. The verse was lacking when he performed it.

Danny Gokey: He proved me wrong this week. Normally on a song like this the lower verse would be weak. But he sounded great from the first note to the last note. Did the same type of arrangement that he's done almost the whole show- But I really liked it this week. He was on his the top of his game.

Adam Lambert: He was good. It was kind of just a "blah" week for him this week. He sounded great, like always, but for Adam it was almost boring. Maybe it was just the odd arrangement of a great song.


Since I am so slow at posting this this week I didn't make a guess on the bottom three... but I can also comment on the results.

I do love Matt, but I am ok with him going home with this group of singers left. And with him leaving hopefully the so will the trend to wear stupid hats. I don't think we will be seeing Adam down that close to elimination next week. Everyone was so good this week, he just didn't stand out like he normally does. He'll be fine though

AI Recap (Top 6 +1)

I was so very happy that the judges used the save on Matt. He wont win, but he is better than some people left on the show.

Lil Rounds: GO HOME. No more of you and your huge, and I mean HUGE, butt.

Kris Allen: I liked the arrangement, but really he should have arranged another song that way. And if you are going to say the song means something, at least know what the hell you think it means. You just looked dumb. He sounded good though.

Danny Gokey: He chose a song where he could wail the whole time and he sounded great IMO. I liked Danny a lot this week.

Allison Iraheta: Homegirl sounded great. I thought the arrangement was actually good. I don't know why they didn't like it. But someone PLEASE help the girl out with a better fashion consultant.

Adam Lambert: Slowed it down and chilled it out just like I prefer him to do. He looked normal and sounded great. Best of the Week.

Matt Giraud: Was not excited about his song choice, but he did switch it up quite a bit and I liked it a lot. He did exactly what they wanted him to do, go back to singing all soulful like and make the song his own. I don't know how Simon said that was unoriginal.

Anoop Desai: Started off on a bad note (...double entendre), sounded fine in the middle and ended Horribly. Bye Bye Anoop. At least you look good in Pink.

Bottom Three:

Anoop Desai
Lil Rounds
Danny Gokey

(Don't be surprised if it's Matt again though, I just think his crew will come through for him this week)

AI Recap (Top 7)

Allison Iraheta: Wasn't flawless, but I really enjoyed her. The only thing that will hold this girl back is her ugly hair. Will someone help her please?

Anoop Desai: The judges only like him when he sings a slow ballad. America doesn't like him enough anymore. He sounded good, I didn't love the arrangement.

Adam Lambert: And back to the yellie Adam again. Dude can perform. He knows how to work the stage. Song was overall good- just wish his new arrangements of upbeat songs wouldn't be totally yellie.

Matt Giraud: Had some rough spots but sang it overall very well. I actually liked the arrangement. The judges need to make up their minds. Should he change up a song or keep it the same? Stop it judges. You make no sense. He showed that flawless False again.

Danny Gokey: Endless Love? Seriously? And a harp arrangement? Ew. Gross. No thanks. Remember how I said before he's not good at the slow chill stuff? Well he's not. It's not til the songs pick up that he wails. Overall he is a still a favorite, but don't be surprised if he is in the bottom three sometime soon.

Kris Allen: Dude moves it the song up a whole step and still can't sing the low notes? Interesting. I love that song and he did sing it well, I just didn't like that he hit those notes full voice that are normally false. To me that's the feel of that song.

Lil Rounds: Ew, the Rose? WTF? And when the judges disliked you, you just had to say something didn't you? You sounded like Paula with the nonsense that cam out of your mouth. You were not good and you are not good. Please go home?


Bottom Three:

Lil Rounds
Anoop Desai
Matt Giraud (not cause I think he deserves it, but he got no love from the judges)

AI Recap (Top 8)

Danny Gokey: I really do love his style. Homeboy can sing. I do wish he would concentrate a little bit better on the the slower non yellie stuff. That's his weakness right now. I hope America doesn't forget about him

Kris Allen: Interesting choice with the fans all around him and stuff. Was not feeling the song at all this week Kind of bland. I have been liking him more as of late- but this was not a strong week.

Lil Rounds: She doesn't do a single cool unique thing with her songs. She just sings all Black girl like and I'm sorry that's not enough. The song seemed bigger than her this week. And I thank Jesus that the judges agree with me.

Anoop Desai: Dude can sing (no, I am not intentionally quoting Randy). Sounded nice this week. I don't think America loves him anymore though. The problem is he needs to always sing all slow and soulful. People just feel awkward inside when he is trying to be hard core.

Scott MacIntyre: Seriously? What the hell? Just say no to the guitar. You played maybe 4 bar chords on that thing. NO! No guitar for you. He is nice guy and likable. But NO! Not ok this week.

Allison Iraheta: I have said this to many people before and it's coming obvious to everyone: Allison will easily have the best career out of any of the girls on this season. She has the awesome unique rawness to her voice. As long as she doesn't ruin it she will be successful. The judges were right this week. She does need a light image change, but that will happen with age and time. Oh yeah, I dug her again this week.

Matt Giraud: I Always like him and I again thought he was quite good. I love the flipping up to the false, he does it so freaking well. Matt loves to add Runs and he can do it very well- but it was little excessive this week IMO. Still love him though.

Adam Lambert: I actually really like him when he stays in his more mellow tone. When he flips to his false instead of his screamy mix he is very nice to listen to. It's just unpleasant to my ears when he stays up in the screamy mix all the time. Good week once again.

My Bottom Three:

Anoop Desai
Lil Rounds
Scott MacIntyre


P.S. The super awesome song on the ATT commercial? Landon Pigg "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop". just sayin.
