Idol Quickies: February 26, 2010

The last 24 hours have been busy in American Idol world. After all, they did just throw out four contestants on their asses.

Recaps from around the interweb…

Fancast’s Maura Johnston: American Idol Packs a Decidedly Mixed Bag

Rickey.org’s Howard: AI9 — Four Asked to ‘Leave Right Now’

MJ’s American Idol 9 — Top 24 Results Recap

And in other news…

Who knew he had it in him? The four-second delay you heard toward the end of Thursday’s results show was not a technical glitch. Alex Lambert sad a bad word upon finding out he made it over Tyler Grady! (Great. Now what did he say?)

Kris Allen chose Let It Be at the suggestion of his guitarist Cale. Obviously, MTV’s Jim Cantiello was the one to get this information out of him. If you didn’t catch it last night, check out the video of Allen’s Let It Be. (The song is STILL not up for purchase on iTunes.)

Say it ain’t so! Season 7′s Chikezie Eze was busted for identity theft at Nieman Marcus! WTF? (This was the same Nieman’s where Winona Ryder was busted for shoplifting, right?) He’s in jail, being held on $50,000 bond. Yikes.

Danny Gokey will perform on next week’s results show. Yikes.

Spread the word. Do it.

    Is this a new “do” for Cook?

    The hair seems much less unfortunate-looking than I remember, or maybe it’s just that I haven’t paid attention .

  • oddgirl

    I’m at least a borderline Kristard but the news of him being on this “Gigantic” tv show makes me laugh because Kris’s acting skills are pretty nonexistent. Even he says he’s a lousy actor. I’m looking forard to seeing this, but it could end up being a giant trainwreck. I hope not, for his sake! Funny though that he’s got more acting gigs than his wife — who reportedly wants to be an actress, yet aside from that web series, doesn’t seem to be making much progress in that.

    Meanwhile his charity single for Haiti is doing quite nicely. It’s been moving rapidly up the iTunes chart since it finally go released and is currently at #12.

    • Paulie

      ITA on his nonexistent acting skills. It should be fun to watch what the turn out will be though. He was able to ham it up with his “yeah capes!” bit on BWE ever though, and that was awesome. :D Not to mention the YouTube vids of him “acting” with his friends.

    • Verbally Dyslexic

      I look forward to the abundance of hilarity and entertainment I will find at the expense of his limited acting abilities. That little skit he did with his friends where he died with a smile on his face is a precious gem.

      • deez

        Agreed! The fact they are arguing about this @ MJs cracks me up. The Kristards are like “How dare you criticize him, you haven’t seen it yet!” . Glamberts are all “just another thing he sucks at”. Geeze, I hope they don’t find out if his toilet paper rolls are “under” or “over”.

        • deez

          Well, it would actually be better if Kris was the first to go on tour from Season 8. At this point, Kris should be focusing on getting his career off the ground. I have yet to hear any tour plans, especially when plans have already been announced for at least one of the finalists from Season 8. And I would figure that since Kris won AI, he should be able to fill stadium size crowds.

          The first of the sock puppet quartet has officially weighed in.

          Now they’re arguing about whether Kris is “good enough” for “Glee.” (seriously?)

        • Verbally Dyslexic

          Oh Kristards. I see your batshit peeking out :)

          And lol at the toilet paper debate!

  • deez
    • Paulie

      Oh wow that sorta yummy. LOL! Maybe the pr0n past jokes may not just be half-meant after all. :P

    • Lauren

      Ummmm, I might have to throw him a few votes after that. xD I’d still rather have a John Park without shirt photo though.

  • deez

    LOL!

    KNA:

    This should be a train wreck, lol. I know he was never comfortable shooting the videos on AI. And he often appears stiff in interviews. Everyone has their limitations and acting is definitely not something I see in the cards for Kris at all.

    Mitchel:
    02/26/2010 at 10:57 pm
    Well, if Kris had to show anger, I guess he has plenty to draw from. For starters, Simon and Ryan trashing Kris the day after the finale, and predicting he will be one of the least successful winners of all time. Or how he was not incuded in the Michael Jackson “This Is It” premiere. Or how he has yet to be part of the Oprah show. Or how people have walked out during his set on the Idol tour and more recently, the NY show. Or how he was not asked to performer on the AMA’s, when many of his fellow Idols were. Or how Ken Warwick, the executive producer of Idol, when he was being interviewed on ETV this week, literally could not recall the name of the Season 8 winner.

    And the list goes on and on.

    I’ll have to check back later for AML and Neil. (the proper amount of time must pass, of course, so no one will be suspicious!!)

    • erinnthered

      …or the fact that his album is now in the top 10 on iTunes…oh, wait… :)

      • rehabilitard

        I can’t believe it, Kris’ album is #8! Where is Adam Lambert? Scrolling down, scrolling down..still scrolling down. Oh yes, here it is, number 37!!111!!

    • Erin107

      I like how this fool uses these sock puppets interchangeably, as if we won’t be able to comprehend what she is doing. How do you even maintain the energy to carry on multiple different accounts at various websites that all say the same nonsense over and over? Boggles the mind.

      • Claire

        You’d think it would be difficult to keep track of several sock puppet accounts at a time, but this person has quite a bit of practice. She must save random comments about the AMAs, the Michael Jackson movie, Simon saying Kris sucks as much as Hicks, him being the worst seller in the history of the world, etc. on a Word doc and then copies and pastes the same crap repeatedly. She only uses two names at a time whenever she’s on MJ’s and TWoP- one to make the original statement, and one to ‘agree.’ I guess that helps simplify the puppetry.

        The puppet duo repeats the same shit about Allison on her thread too. I’ve never seen this stuff on an Adam thread, even though she’s said she isn’t a big Adam fan. She must not be ballsy enough to mess with the Glamberts. I’m assuming it’s some Gokey tard. I’ve seen sickeningly sweet comments about Gokey and then five minutes later another person logs in to ‘agree’ with how wonderful he is, so I’m sure this is the same person.

        • Erin107

          LOL yeah I initially thought urbanblogger/ImOuttaHere/AllAboutG/etc (just how many of them are there, anyway?) was a Glambert, but I did some snooping a while back and concluded it’s an insane delusional Gokey fan. Which actually makes it even more sad.

    • Paulie

      I was rolling my eyes on these comments. Hehe. Of course the latest discussion in that thread is still talking about this. What about the more important part of Lyndsey’s video — KRALE happened dammit! We should be discussing every detail of it.

      :D

  • cc

    Okay, I dunno if someone else already posted this…

    @lyndseyparker On the set of a secret TV show with a certain Idol winner whose name rhymes with “Miss Fallon.”

    @lyndseyparker Got some b-roll of Kris Allen acting. He did a great job!

    My reaction: O_O then LMAO

    • jukejoint

      What can that be about? If Boy Meets World was still on, I would get it.

      • deez

        Lol…I was just coming to post that! Ha! Does Lyndsey mean “great” or great in a VFTW sorta way?

    • erinnthered

      Who shoots Fridays? Two and Half Men shoots Fridays, but in the evenings, and with an audience. What about iCarly or Wizards of Waverly Place?

      I might be able to check with WoWP. Might.

      • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

        Something for Teen Nick called Gigantic. It will be out in April.

        • erinnthered

          Ah.

          I sent you an email…

  • erinnthered

    I read up on the Chikezie thing, and something about the whole thing screams racist mixup to me. I don’t buy that he tried to use a stolen credit card at Neiman’s in Beverly Hills. The guy who was on JPL’s web show just doesn’t strike me as “that guy.”

    Maybe he got into a fight with his bf and there was a mixup? Who knows. I just hope he doesn’t end up getting outed over all this.

    • Verbally Dyslexic

      Ok now I’m intrigued. Erinnthered, tell me more!

      • erinnthered

        Intrigued by the report that he was busted for using a supposedly stolen credit card, or the part about his sexuality?

        The first part was reported at MJ’s. The latter is an open secret.

        Sherena, what do you mean? Me thinking the clerk at an upscale department store in Beverly Hills or the Beverly Hills Police Department might have race issues? Yeah, I think that may be an issue around there. I’m also not the first person to bring up the possible race issue.

        • Verbally Dyslexic

          I didn’t know that Chikizie is gay. I’ve read reports of him flirting with the girls during the Idol tour, so my default assumption is that he is straight. But that’s neither here nor there. I’m more curious about your theory that this is race-instigated.

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            Who said he was gay?

    • Sherena

      Racist?

  • Sandy

    OK. I found the link for it:

    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/let-it-be-live-single/id358781951

    I loved his performance of this! So go buy it! Now!

    • deez

      Gah! Thanks! I used the link @ the Fox site and got nada, I searched with “Kris Allen” (everything BUT that is there) Then I searched “Let it Be” (zilch again), Then American Idol…nothing…Idol Gives Back…nothing. It’s a FRAKKIN GUESSING GAME. They really need to make it easier to find.

      • blacklisted

        When I first looked for it you couldn’t find it under Kris Allen Let It Be and a few minutes later it was up via that search. Weird, but at least they got it together.

    • Kathy

      Thanks finally got to buy it

    • Paulie

      Bought it! It’s good that it now has a front page banner in iTunes. Yay. That almost made up for the delayed release.

      • Paulie

        On a shallow note, I’m also hoping they release a performance video. Heehee!

    • Verbally Dyslexic

      It’s only available for US peeps (as usual). Boo! :(

      Anyone willing to help a girl out? I’ve just donated directly to the UN Foundation.

      Email is verbally.dyslexic@gmail.com

  • Sandy

    Kris Allen’s Charity single is finally up on Itunes. I don’t know how to post a link for it. I found it by searching Itunes for Kris Allen Let It Be.

  • deez

    Oh crap, just found this @ VFTW….Glamberts are learning a dance for FYE that they will all do together for a surprise for Adam:

    • Nich

      Ok now that is original tarding. I never heard of fans doing that before. Go Glamberts?

      • jukejoint

        Are they trying to do what the Chicago folk did with “I’ve Got a Feelin” for Oprah’s birthday? Like, flash mob, sorta kinda?

    • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

      I just saw that, too.

      I wonder if we can rope Erinthered into going. I would even start a donation pool for her ticket. ;)

      • saskin

        TI, seriously your link…

        Dance is cute. Isabelle can do it from her wheelchair too.

      • erinnthered

        Oh God. What?!

        I would need more than just the ticket $$ to haul my ass out there in traffic. Y’all is crazy!

        • deez

          OOOHH Maybe Sweet Sexxxy Sean can hold you a fundraiser!

          • erinnthered

            Exactly. But I have friends and family about 150 or so miles away that could go harass that little shit. hehe

    • erinnthered

      That’s…a really lame version of the Freeze without all that complicated turning around. I doubt most of Adam’s fans have the coordination for even this. These aren’t exactly old clubbers and music fans. Could be both funny, and dare I say it….cute?

      • Lamberkitten

        Perhaps you should see for yourself! I like the idea of funding your ticket. (TI – how many posters here? How much would we need donate each? Hopefully would be cheap if could avoid oxygen tank, wheelchair and swanky hotel dinner bills?)

        After watching this season’s AI seems the only worthwhile entertainment is from last year’s Idols. (Tho I do feel Joe Munoz – is that how spelt – was well robbed!) Erinthered – go on, go on, go on :)

        • erinnthered

          First, it’s Erinn the red, if we’re getting into spelling. My first name has two Ns. I’m not bothered with people missing it because of my screen name, but since spelling came up…

          Second…and let’s talk realistically…we’d be talking gas to and from – that’s about $30 to $35 each way; then a ticket to a “sold out” show – which means Stubhub or some other broker; A meal at the casino too – no, I can’t afford it myself right now; I’d need to borrow one of those little digital cameras that shoot video – I have a semi-pro camera (Rebel Xt) that might stick out at that show, and doesn’t shoot video ( I can ask around and hopefully come up with one – I know more people with semi-pro DV cameras than personal ones.); I’d also have to cancel other plans that involved getting some work done – not paid work, but ‘someday it could lead to paid work’ type stuff

          Still interested?

          • Lamberkitten

            Definitely still interested – of course it would have to be everyone donate a certain amount as am personally not that rich enough to fund the whole thing. To be honest I didnt know that the concert was sold out – I thought you could probly still get the lower price tix. I was just following TI’s excellent suggestion and being a bit goofy pushing it a bit further cos I do think it would be top and ace if one of the posters here did attend and tell us all. But probably too much going against it. Ah well.
            Sorry about the spelling – it wasnt done with a “Kros Allienn” intention, just getting late and careless – thankfully it doesnt bother you – I will remember for next time.

          • erinnthered

            Lamberkitten, it got bumped again.

            I’m working on another angle in the morning, so it may not be necessary.

            I really need to go to bed, but if you see one, just post that we’ll take it. We can deal with it/ pay for it in the morning (morning here, anyway). Worst case scenario they can pawn it off at the casino.

        • erinnthered

          Okay, if you actually want this jaded Kris fan to have the “Adam Lambert Experience” and can somehow come up with gas, ticket, and a meal, I’ll do it. I’d also provide copies of all receipts, and an honest account of the evening with pictures and, hopefully, video.

          I’m always up for new things. I once went to a wrestling cage match in a bingo hall. I knew someone who liked that kind of thing, and he mentioned it, so I figured, what the heck. Plus, that episode of That 70s Show with the Rock had just aired. That was a blast, but I suspect this might be even more fun if there are Sparkle Cow fights and a semi choreographed dance. Maybe there will be a chance to get photos of those Worst inspired t-shirts.

          I’d need to know by the end of the night out here (PST) if you think you can pull it off so I can work on getting the camera.

          • erinnthered

            And it really was no big deal about my name. Everyone misspells it at first. You just happened to bring up name spelling in your previous post, so I thought I’d throw it out there. :)

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            You…you went to a wrestling cage match in a bingo hall??? I think I might love you.

            I know what you mean. I’m always up for anything. Why not?

            Sparkle cows doing a semi-choreographed dance is just…just amazing. Did the show ever sell out?

          • Lamberkitten

            Yeay!!!

            I am up to bed now (nearly 1am here and need be up for work early) but if TI and you guys can work out a donation per person I will definitely chip in my share in the morning if the details are worked out by then. You will have a blast I am sure with such a rich vein of fantardery to tap into, tho if this thing does work out, and you get your camera, don’t forget to get a little footage of Adam :)

          • erinnthered

            I heard the show sold out, but I’ll check. If I know my frauen, and I’ve known a few, they always buy multiple copies of everything. Including tickets. There are spares out there. It’s all about where to look.

            Lamberkitten, is there a ticket exchange on AO? PF? Maybe someone would donate a ticket in an effort to show a heathen Kris fan “the way.”

            One of the coolest things about the wrestling match was going with a regular. He filled me in on all the drama and backstories of the other regulars, and introduced me to the MC. Still, if you ever get a chance, GO!

          • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

            They also keep spares for people who lose at the casino. Here, you’re such a valued player, have 2 complementary tickets to the Adam Lambert show.

          • Lamberkitten
          • Lamberkitten

            I just checked the link I posted, think someone has claimed it now. I tried :(

  • Kathy

    Ok now I feel like a stalker. I signed up for email updates here with my original email. Then i got my laptop and didn’t want to add incredimail on it bc it is a space hog so I went with windows live mail and made a new address to use with it just so i would only have what I really wanted in it. hated it so went to yahoo. I like the viewing pane it has like incredimail has that gmail doesn’t. Anyway so I signed up for email updates yet again lol there was probably a way to change my email subscription email but basically I was too lazy to look. Chikezie Chikezie tsk tsk

  • saskin

    Are you aware that your Alex Lambert link directs to an old EW article about ATT vote scandal? It also says ‘sad’ instead of ‘said’. :)

    • jukejoint

      I just noticed the same thing, Saskin. Sometimes I think you and I are thinking with the same brain. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for you.

      But, anyway, I don’t need to see that old AT&T conspiracy crap. Nobody seems to be saying what Alex Lambert said, either. Holy sh*t? F*ck me, I don’t know if I can stand to be here another week?

      • saskin

        :)
        Whatever he said, he deserved to say it and more. No matter how bad they sing, nobody deserves to be tortured that way.
