American Idol: Journey to the 21st Century (4/20/11)
This week's show was songs from the past 11 years, any song, any genre. Great concept, should lead to great performances. The show though started off on a weird note as the eliminated singers from weeks' past came back and sang Pink's So What and I thought that was a fitting song and a different way to start. After that we got into the show...
Scotty
Song: Swingin
Blake: Awesome like always. He knows what he does best. Different pace for him but it really worked. Just it wasn't a great as always.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: Scotty, Scotty, Scotty. Not your best at all. You can entertain me with the phone book, but what about the rest of America?
James
Song: Uprising
Blake: Didn't expect the marching band. I actually didn't know there we actual words to this song before tonight. Personally I liked it. It was very rockeresce and he hit all the right notes.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2
Mandy: James, you are way too big for your britches. And apparently since Adam didn't win, they brought forth his secondcoming. Ick.
Haley
Song: Rollin in the Deep
Blake: Really good. She rocked this song big time.She could sell this sound. Plus this is a really tough song to pull off.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: I LOVED Haley! She sang Adele and wore polka dots so two thumbs up. She did the song justice and I finally felt she belonged.
Jacob
Song: Dance with My Father
Blake: Holy shit! That was the most real performance ever on this show. I got total chills up and down my body. Amazing.
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Jacob was real for the first time, no theatrics. Gospel needs him. Sang the hell out of the song and pulled at heartstrings.
Casey
Song: Harder to Breathe
Blake: He totally rocked this out! Fantastic! More of this please! I can't anything but good things about this. I can't believe he kissed J-Lo!!
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Maroon 5 who? While they went all wussy and mainstream, Casey went and made their song better by singing it. A-friggin-mazing!
Stefano
Song: Closer
Blake: The ladies man is alive and well in this one. He can sing and that might been the dirtest dancing by a straight male on the Idol stage. Overall not the best or his best but great.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2
Mandy: Stefano's song was meh. Can I just say I'd come closer and would attempt to break him (or at least a piece)? Karaoke eye candy.
Lauren
Song: Born to Fly
Blake: She's a little country bell. Very good. She is simply amazing to put it lightly.
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Lauren has the potential to be the next Taylor Swift, with a little more swagger. She rocked a song that really isn't great.
Should Go Home: Stefano
Will Go Home: Stefano
Scotty
Song: Swingin
Blake: Awesome like always. He knows what he does best. Different pace for him but it really worked. Just it wasn't a great as always.

Glee: Road to New York Begins (4/19/11)
Well after a month off Glee returned this week. So with just over a month to get go till Nationals, it's time to start storyline overdrive. It felt almost like a reset last night. New Directions realized that Sue screwed them out of the money they were supossed to get to fun Nationals so they had to raise it themselves. We always find out that Asian Fusion, Tina and Mike, Artie and Brittany are in the Brainiacs (well that was written right) and have advanced to the finals and also need money to get them there. So Holly (my favorite guest star ever) told Will that a fundraiser concert should work. Well it was a great idea in theory. Well it didn't go that well. Oh and before I forget Sue formed her own "evil group" The Legion of Doom (Flyers fans of the past were probably pissed to hear that one) which included Vocal Adrenaline coach Dusty Goolsby as Sergeant Handsome, Sandy, the former Glee coach, as the Pink Dagger and Terri as the Honey Badger. I agree with Sue, worst henchmen ever. Onto the music...
Sunshine-All By Myself
Wow she is small. But in that small frame is one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. She sang this on the ND stage to get them let her sing in the benefit concert. She has 600 twitter followers. Well that didn't happen because Sergeant Handsome stopped her. As for this performance though, it was simply amazing. She has the pipes to sing anything. A
Tina-Follow Rivers
I felt so bad for Tina. She was the first one out and got completely destroyed by heckling led by Pink Dagger. She deserves better than this. She's a great singer. Hopefully she gets to finish a song this season. B+ (for what we heard)
(I'm not including Mike's dance but that was amazing)
Holly-Turning Tables
This was her way of breaking up with Shue. It was a good, but no where near her best on this show. She was more serious than normal so that could be what it was. B+
Mercedes-Ain't No Way
After a crazy storyline all night that she was turning Diva, and refused to perform unless they met her demands, Rachel got her on the stage to close out the show and belt out this song. It was great, no doubt about it. She proved why she should be singing more often. A
Well that's it for this week's show. Next week is a special 90 minute Glee, probably to compete with the premiere of The Voice (ah the wonderful world of DVR), which should be alot of fun, and seems to be the return of Kurt to ND, hopefully Blaine follows with him.

Dancing with the Stars: American Elimination (4/19/11)
A little Toby Keith, a little line dancing and you have one hell of a results show. I'm just not sure if I was a 100% fan of the results....
In Danger...
Kristie/Maks
Chris/Cheryl
Petra/Dmitry
Still In Danger...
Chris/Cheryl
Petra/Dmitry
Seriously where's the Chericho love? Best dance for him all season and still on the bubble? After everything Kristie and Maks have been through they end up in danger after no weirdness or screwups? That makes no sense at all to me.
The results....
Petra/Dmitry. Sad to see them go, but we gotta start getting down to the wire at this point.
