Some People Want It All
10/09/2004 10:47:00 PM But I don't...want nothin' at alll.... I just wanna watch the people that want it all...like Alica Keys for example (in case you didnt catch that ^^)...or the people that auditioned for Webster Idol... So I just got back from Webster Idol (and if the subject title, and opening line tell you anything, you may guess that someone sang that song, and now its in my head--if you didnt recognize that those were lyrics from a song, and that what I just explained would naturally be something Steph would do, then why am I your friend? Okay, since I'm assuming the only one who didn't know...I'll address her: Because you have red hair...wait it could be two people...for the other one: because you have a car that has been trash-bagged, and tin-foiled) Okay, back to the original story. It was actually really really cool. Not like a lame talent show at all. Of course there was a stage, and an audience, but they had two big screens on the sides of the stage, where they broadcast a "Webster Idol" Logo, very similar to that of American, and then during the performances they even did the lame/Idol shots (Kayla, you know the ones I'm talking 'bout, rememeber when I mentioned that they even did it at the concerts...where there's a close-up frontal shot, and then in the upper left (or right) corner, a mid/long profile, or just other shot) Yeah, so that was cool. And they had the 3 judges, big black dude as Randy, Libby the cool RA from the 4th floor as Paula --even had her cool Paula (or Janet) hat---, but a girl with dark hair, and no british accent, as Simon. Seriously, any accent woulda made the comments so much funnier. So 2 girls sang Martina songs, "Broken Wing" and "How Far" <-- on that one I was so frightened for the girl, I was like, oh crap, either she's not gonna hit those notes and really embarass herself, or she's gonna over-do it and sound Clay Aiken-ish...but she actually wasnt so bad, she kinda hit them good enough, but couldnt hold them as long as in the original song, which was good, and took away from the Clayken appeal. Although there were some jokes made to a comedian-guy who looked like a geek, and Simon referenced Clay, and Paula said that the staff could get at him and do wonders just like that other skinny dorky guy who they think they made look hot....well, it worked for Julie I guess... Yeah, so the 2 Martina girls ended up in the top 3, along with a 40-ish ex-Marine black chick, who was awesome, girl had soul. And while the votes were tallied they explained to us that neither of the past 2 winners (this is the 3rd annual Webster Idol) BUT they did get the 1st runner up, a guy named ...Uh I forgot...but he was like the Justin Guarini of this shin-dig OOH-- Curtis from Philly. Interestingly enought the same place as Guarini..hmmm, curious...very cuuurrrious --if you couldn't tell just then I was saying that in a British accent like the dude who runs the Wand-Store in Harry Potter...no one remembers that qoute...? Okay, proceeding... HE WAS THE SHIZZLE, FOR RIZZLE Y'ALL! He did an original song, and then (like all Idols) covered some song (I forgot which one) but I dont really care...cause he blew the roof off (which is hard to do, we were in a Gym...thats a big heavy roof...) I think he couldve wiped the floor with some of the people that are really on Idol, dead serious. He played the keyboard too, but it was one of those big, fancy, schmancy, ones, that sounded like a Grand Piano, it was awesome. The whole place was dead quite, and you could hear the echoing of the keys, it was great. The 40 yr old won, and I dont know how happy she is that she won a music video produced by Gorlock TV...dont know how much that'll help her...but its still neat. I would want a music video... Okay, while my interest in this blog update is waning, I'm gonna look for an example of those cheesy shots, so you can actually picture it...I'm sorry, but I desperately want you to understand.... Wow, this is hard....I've looked at TONS of Idol sites already, and nothing...these people suck at getting good screencaps...no they only want ones without the superimposed images...youd think they'd love a screencap with two of their Idol in it...I'm trying to get a good JPL one for Kayla... If I have to I may resort to going to a Clay site.... Oh God...I've been to like 8 already...this is a hard task... Finally (I wouldnt think I'd ever say that after finding a Clay picture) a real crazed fan, with thousands of pics had some... This is the effect they used... ![]() Oh Dear God...Look what I found in the process...and look at that smile on her face! Please tell me that's a more of a grimace... ![]() ![]() I thought the day had come when I'd forgotten about the Independent Tour... ![]() He's just such a dork....Oh well, I'll just think about that Curtis guy and it will make everything better. ....But You Don't Know My Name....round and round and round it goes...but will you ever know.... (If those two people are lost again...Will you ever Know?) |

Hey Steph I'm glad you had fun at Webster Idol. But i have a question, how did you come all the way to Loup City help decorate someone's car, and still get back to see Webster Idol? You must be fast. Anyway i think you did a marvelous job decorating, but the decorations had to come off because they were blowing in the wind, so all we have are crappy night pics, :( ...Keep it real. Irish Midget.
I didnt know you like the killers?
Some of my 3M-ers went to their concert here a few weeks ago, and they wanted to listen to some music on the way, so I made them a Killers Cd...
I simply harken to a simpler time, when bands had names like Cars, ZZtop, sang about 99 balloons in German, and it was ok to be a little scared of Joan Jett, and Pat Benatar.
