Okay, I've been away for a while. Things got extremely busy with work and life in general. I guess I also became a bit uninterested with the idea of this blog but I am going to try to start back.My favorite time of the year is Fall TV Season. I love when my old favorite shows return and I get to check out what's new. Glee has definitely made my list of favorite new fall shows. The show actually

I've decided that I don't really care enough about American Idol to continue to review it. Not to mention I'm too busy to watch the shows real time so it seems kind of pointless to review it a few days after the fact. We're down to the end anyways so I'll just make my prediction here and we'll see what happens.I predict that Danny will win. I would love if Allison won but I just don't think that

Ohhh kay so here we go.... Two people will be eliminated tonight. I predicted Lil Rounds and Anoop.Performances:Group performance - Are they lip syncing? WTF Danny?? Cut that mess out. Okay this whole thing was just too much for me. The dancing is a mess with Danny being the worst of the group. Adam is getting it a little to much. LOL.Freda Payne - I love this song but wow.

I just realized that I didn't even post comments from the Top 7 elimination night, last week was a busy week for me. But as you all know...Matt was the pick to go home but the judges saved him. Big deal, marketing ploy, all it means is that two go home the next week.Theme: 70's Disco EraLil': "I'm Every Woman" by Shaka Chan - I'm sorry, I was too distracted by her big round outfit to really

My DVR didn't record American Idol last night :( So I'm watching the videos that are posted on the American Idol website. This is probably going to result in my opinions being out of order but oh well. Stupid DVR! So I didn't get to hear the judges opinions or see any of the opening videos.Theme: Idols at the MoviesContestants:Adam: "Born To Be Wild" - Wow he sounds and performs like he is

Group Performance:-The sang a song from 2002..."Can't Get You Outta My Head". This is one of the better performances set up wise. They still haven't convinced me as to why anyone would actually want to see them in concert. The ending was cute but overall I was bored by that.Other Performances:-Flo-Rida: I don't even know what you're saying. This is an extremely inappropriate song and those

Theme: Songs from the year the contestants were bornContestants:-Danny: "Stand by Me" by Ben E. King - I kinda like this version. Not as much as the other version but he sounds good. I'm glad he did a lesser known version of the song so it didn't sound like a straight copy cat performance.-Kris: "All She Wants To Do is Dance" by Don Henley - I don't think I know this song.

Tamara’s Take: Heavy RotationThis is Kelly’s fourth album and it is a lot better than the last album. She has said that this album is a mixture of several different styles; I agree. It is a wonderful, crazy mix of styles that creates something beautiful. I can listen to this album straight through which is always a positive. There are a few songs that I’m not crazy about but none that are

Theme: Any Song that is a Popular DownloadContestants:Anoop: “Caught Up” by Usher – Interesting choice of a song but not extremely surprising. I’m not feeling this or those faces he is making. Definitely not as good as last week for me. And once again he isn’t adding anything to the song. It is just a mediocre cover of the song.Megan: “Turn Your Lights Down Low” by Bob Marley – OK, I had hung on

He just doesn't have "it" and unless he finds that which I don't think he will, he will be going home soon.-Michael: I don't think he was the worst from last night but the judges were very harsh on him and looking back at the clips it was somewhat of a corny performance.

OK. I am so hype about this new show that is premiering on CBS on April 9th. This seems to be different from pretty much any show that is currently on TV which excites me.Cast: I actually don't recognize any of the people in the cast list but that's okay. I like that they are using relatively unknown people.Plot: The main plot of the story is that this is a murder mystery. A group of friends and

I spent this rainy weekend in the house and on the couch. I wasn't feeling good and I didn't want to venture out into the bad weather so I thought I'd find something to do around the house.

Here's what I watched and what I thought.Bee Movie (2007): "Cute for kids, somewhat entertaining for adults"Starring - Jerry

Tonight two people will be eliminated. I wonder if it will be the ones I predicted or not... So the judges can save a contestant?? This is somewhat strange but we shall see how it goes.Group Performance: Medley of Jackson 5 SongsThis sounded better then the other group performances. Why in the hell did they let make Danny get up there and do that little dance which made him look extremely stupid.

Having the winners sing instead of the losers is a good look. Who wants to hear someone sing something that got them kicked off anyway?Group Performance:-I did not enjoy this part of the show. I think they jacked up a song I had actually started to like.Past Idol Contestants Performance:-I love this song but I don't really like them singing it.

I know I'm almost a week late...so sue me! I was out of the country. I haven't watched the reveal show yet and I've stayed away from American Idol blogs so it is like I'm watching it on schedule (for me anyway) LOL.This is a little different....The most popular guy, most popular girl and the next highest person will make it through in each group. I will put my prediction in bold after each

I will be out of the country until this Friday so I don't know how much, if any, posting I will be able to do during the next week. I have lots of new music, movies, and products that I have tried recently that I am planning on reviewing so please stay tuned.I'll be back soon!

Now we are starting to get to the good part of the show! I know I am a day late but dang! I'll try to do better although I'll be out of the country next week so I will be a few days late posting my review. Anyway, I have bolded my favorites so far.Simon's Best:"Do you want to keep the very attractive blond girl, or the other one?" "If it's any consolation, you wouldn't have won anyway" "What

Once this is over the next episode will reveal who the top 36 are and then we move on to where the competition starts to heat up.This round of Hollywood Week the contestants perform on stage solo with a band and back-up singers.Some Contestants:Adam Lambert - I admit that he can sing but I just really don't like him.

I saw the commercial for the Snuggie a while back and I was immediately intrigued. I DO struggle with keeping my arms covered by my blanket while trying to do various tasks such as reading a book, typing on my computer and playing Playstation 3. When I was at Walgreens the other day, I saw that they are selling Snuggies and I just had to pick one up. Official Product Description: Snuggie™ is

Performances:M.I.A./Jay-Z/Kanye/Lil' Wayne/T.I. - Jay's verse is my favorite. I like their outfits and how they made it be black and white for TV. It was just okay for me, nothing mind-blowing.Paul McCarthy - Umm...it might be time to let it go. I love this song but every time he goes for the high note it just makes me cringe. sigh.Sugarland/Adele -I love both of these songs and they both sound

Performances:U2 - I'm not a big U2 fan although I respect that they are great artists. I believe this was a brand new song that they were debuting for the Grammy's. It was pretty good. The song of course had a "message".Al Green/Justin Timberlake - I love some Al Green but I don't know how much longer he should be performing although I'd take an old Al Green over Solider Boy any day. Of course

I don't particularly like the group portion of American Idol. I think it is unfair and just there to stir up some drama for the audience. If I want drama I will watch the Real World or some other lame reality show. I also don't think they should let people pick their own groups because then some people are left out in the cold. I guess I understand the need for the group round, so many people

I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with Rihanna. I truly don't believe that she is a good singer. I think her voice is weak and at times borderline annoying. That being said, I can't help but LOVE her songs! I am very confused by this, maybe it is due to the fact that she is forced down my throat by her media team or the fact that she does utilize talented producers/writers and therefore

This was the first time I actually watched the entire Superbowl. I generally will tune in for a few commercials and maybe the half-time show but never the entire game. I enjoyed this year’s game and I’m glad I decided to watch.

The Band of Oz is a Beach Music band that was formed in 1967 to play fraternity parties and high-school proms all over the South. Over the years they have had a variety of members and worked on refining their sounds. Today the band features a full horn section to total a dynamic eight-member group. They perform well over two-hundred shows per year for corporate events, festivals, concerts,

Tamara's Take: No Airplay! The music industry should just let the dead rest in peace. I really wanted to be able to say something positive about this album because I was a huge TLC fan. To be honest Left Eye was my least favorite member of the group and I didn't even realize that she had released a solo album prior to this one until I looked this current album up on Amazon. That being said, I

First of all....tonight's show was very mediocre and I wasn't really impressed at all.Top 5 of the Night: (it was hard to even have a top 5)Tatiayna - this girl is loony and clearly just wanted to be seen, too bad she came off as completely ridiculous. And that laugh....terrible. I can't understand at ALL why they let her crazy ass through, there is no way in hell she's making it to the top

Last night was the premiere of the 8th season of American Idol. Who would have thought that this show would last this long? Not me, that's for sure! I love American Idol...it was a brilliant idea that has more than paid off. Even though not all winners have truly become "American Idols" the show just cannot lose when it comes to ratings. I figured I would share my opinions of the show as it
