The Search for Love in Manhattan

April 04, 2008

Also, am I the only one who thinks David Archuleta is giving mediocre performances on purpose so that he can explode as a star in the final weeks of American Idol, since the people who are consistently brilliant throughout never win Melinda Doolittle?

Faustus, what arrives in my mailbox if I join your mailing list? Seriously. xoxo W.

I might purposefully throw the contest if I thought there was any chance I would win Melinda Doolittle.

oh, those guileless bambi eyes never fooled me for a minute. of course he's pulling his punches--that's what he's being directed to do. the incomparably shrewd producers of that show know there's nothing more boring, or ultimately deadly, than inevitability--screw melinda; ask me, it's more of a shame hillary never figured that one out.

Right there with 'ya on that one oh wise man.

Hmmm...not a bad theory.

bill gates: You'll just have to sign up and find out, won't you?

Andy: You know what, I'm with you on that one.

mkf: Now you have me wondering whether Melinda Doolittle should be running for President.

Jeffrey and Rick: I'm glad you have the good sense to agree with me.

Let's assume he is being heavily coached by the show's producers to pull back. In fact, in recent weeks, he appears to have been drugged. The silly vacuous smile. The unfocused eyes. They're drugging that poor boy. Something has got to be done soon before it's too late. Someone's got to save him. Hmm. Good movie script. Charles Busch as Paula Abdul who saves him (and seduces him).

Of COURSE. Father Tony, I'm embarrassed I didn't figure this out for myself. The limpid pools, the permanent verge-of-tears. The inability to sell anything but a ballad ...
