On Monday, Tiffany ( @TVProducerLady on Twitter ) and I recorded a new episode of Blerd Radio talking about the final three and comparing them to final threes of yesteryear. We determined that this year’s final three is hot to deaf. This should be a fun final two shows. This is the week where the final three are celebrated with a trip home. They also get to sing songs that the judges have picked for them. I hope that Jenny Lo chooses Selena for Jessica Sanchez, Randy chooses Journey [...]
Blerd Radio – Britney Spears And American Idol Season 11 Top 3
Tiffany aka ( @TVProducerLady ) and I are back, back again. Yes, we’re back, tell a friend. (Tiffany is a huge Eminem fan, so that was a little shout-out to her man.) We’re back to discuss the top three in this season’s American Idol. We declare Jessica, Joshua, and Phillip as the best final three in American Idol history. And we don’t just declare it without backup. We go through every season’s top three and remind you how unmemorable these top [...]
Sweet Chin Muzak – Tim Lincecum’s Fastball VeLOSSity
What would Nolan Ryan have been without his fastball? Roger Clemens seemed to cheat to keep his. Doc Gooden wasn’t the same when he lost his. When you’re a power pitcher, everything you ever learned about how to pitch is based off your fastball. You set up your other pitches with it. Ryan could strike guys out with his huge curveball because they had to look fastball or else get blown away. When Clemens’ control was on, no one could [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 4
I wasn’t able to catch last week’s show live as I was out of town. And that’s probably a good thing. America, you done did it now. How can Hollie Cavanagh be on a show that Skylar Laine is not? Unbelievable. If Hollie lasts longer than Jessica Sanchez, I just might, well, I just might. I recapped the season and the eliminations thus far and gave my prediction for the winner earlier this week. And now, we’re down to four. The first theme tonight is songs about California and the second is songs they wish they [...]
American Idol Season 11 – Where We Stand
We’re down to the final four on “American Idol.” Here’s a recap of how we got there.
The Squared Circle – Floyd Mayweather Is King Of The Ring
On Cinco de Mayo Saturday (or Cinco de Mayweather as some called it), Floyd Mayweather proved yet again that he’s arguably the top boxer in the world. Mayweather faced a larger, more powerful and very game Miguel Cotto and did what he’s done 43 other times — turn him away the loser. Save for a few rounds in which Cotto looked like the hungrier fighter, Mayweather’s spotless record wasn’t in any trouble of being undone. Mayweather looked like he was [...]
Friday Throwback: Nas’ “If I Ruled The World”
Earlier this morning, Big Money posted Nasty Nas’ new single Daughters , which is an ode to the fathers with daughters who are growing up a little too quickly and rebelliously for their tastes. I decided to keep up with the Nas theme for the Friday Throwback. In 1996, the Fugees blew up thanks to the power of the single Killing Me Softly from their sophomore album, The Score. It was also Lauryn Hill’s commercial introduction to the pop world. Just three days before Killing [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 6
I think most were surprised when Colton Dixon was eliminated last week. He seemed to be a shoe-in for the top 5 at the very least, but after having an off-night, America sent him home. I wasn’t terribly appalled. If this show were fair, there’s no way that he’d leave it before Hollie Cavanagh, but everyone else still has a reason to be here. If I liked super emo artists, maybe I’d have pulled for him more, but I don’t, [...]
Octagon Blues – What’s Next For Jon Jones?
With Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title defense over Rashad Evans last night at UFC 145, he’s arguably the best fighter in the world. In one of the best marketed fights in years, the Jones/Evans grudge was simple. Both were once training partners and friends and though they swore they’d never fight each other if they were pitted, their fight last night was one that was nearly a year in the making. Evans was once the light heavyweight champion and the [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 7 … Again
America, somebody done told you wrong. If you’re a Colton fan, I get it. If you’re a Skylar fan, I get it. Phillip? Sure. Joshua? Yes. Maybe there’s an argument for Elise somewhere. But With Hollie Cavanagh still on this show, there’s no way that Jessica Sanchez should get the least amount of votes, no matter what. Okay, I could see it if after her performance last week that she got on stage with the Tupac hologram and flipped everyone [...]
Tupac’s Hologram Performs At Coachella
Really late Sunday night, or Monday morning for any East Coasters who stayed up to watch on YouTube, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were into their set at Coachella when the bells to Tupac Shakur’s Hail Mary started to ring. It was rumored that a hologram of Pac would be part of Dre and Snoop’s set and those rumors were right. The virtual version of Tupac wore baggy jeans and boots, much like the 1996 version of Pac would, was shirtless, [...]
American Idol Season 11 – And Then There Were 7
My San Jose homeboy Deandre is no longer on this show. So I won’t have that hometown rooting interest anymore. But it doesn’t matter. I didn’t think he was performing at the level he needed to as with that falsetto, he was really a one-trick pony. When DeBarge is right up your alley and you don’t kill that DeBarge song, I’m not sure what other songs are there for you to kill. Tonight, joining me blogging the show is none [...]
