I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT ACTUALLY BEING SMART WAS INCOMPATIBLE WITH KNOWING YOUR IQ: At the risk of drawing criticism for the laziness inherent in posting fluffy lists two days in a row, here's a ranking of the paid talent on last night's American Idol, from least stupid to most appallingly stupid:

6. Simon Cowell
5. Ryan Seacrest
[extremely large gap]
4. Randy Jackson
[gap]
2. Kara DioGuardi [tie]
2. Katy Perry [tie]
[large gap]
1. Avril Lavigne

Can we agree that the guest judge thing just isn't adding anything?

    It's Lavigne.

    I kind of liked Katy Perry over Kara's insidpidness. At least she looks cute when she dismisses the foster kid as a "Lifetime movie". I think we will find this season to be the beginning of the end. When you intro two shows back to back thusly: "Judges are two hours late because they were in Miami on vacation" and "We're waiting for the judges to land in a helicopter" the common touch has been lost.

    I am the sort of hombre who loves to seek unprecedented stuff. Currently I am constructing my own pv panels. I'm managing it all by myself without the assistance of my staff. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive this. I stumbled upon a very awesome site which explains how to contruct photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The web site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.

    I'm not sure about how correct the data given there is. If some experts over here who had experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the page it would be grand and I'd really treasure it, because I really would love to try [URL=http://apennootje.blogwogin.com/2009/11/10/solar-panel-construction-at-home]solar panel construction[/URL].

    Tnx for reading this. U people are great.

    Yeah, she looked great, and I agreed with just about everything she actually said, but the blankness for the first half of her hour was downright disturbing.  I always thought she was both boring and annoying, but wow, there really is nothing behind those giant eyes.

  6. Kara should be on the bottom rung with Avril.  I'm glad everyone who missed it last season is realizing she is simply the worst, between the head-bobbing and the eye-bulging and constant need to upstage the contestants.  Ugh.

    Also, Kara's eye makeup last night was racoonesque.

    No worries except the fact that I recognized her name was spelled wrong depresses me no end.

    I couldn't tell whether Avril Lavigne was good or bad because they rarely showed her comments, other than her admittedly puzzling reminder to the father/singer that being a pop star meant going on the road quite a bit. Other than that, I can't remember a single thing she said. 

    Was Shania Twain really as good as the EW critics indicated last week? I didn't see her episode.

    No, she mostly agreed with everybody.  Occasionally she said something like "your voice has great tone," and at one point I think she said a bunch of stuff that Simon turned into double entendres.  Though I guess if your metric fixes Randy Jackson as replacement-level, she was something like a two-win player.

    Katy was great!  I think she could be the permanent guest judge. She kept it real. Lifetime movie, indeed.

  12. The guest judge doesn't add anything until that guest judge is NPH.

  13. As much as I'm not crazy about her music, I actually kind of loved Katy Perry as the guest judge.  Granted, that in part reflects me loving her telling Kara that she's full of shit.
