fantastic gym-nastic
after three weeks or so i was finally able to return to my WSC on connecticut ave. north of the circle. they’ve been renovating and i’d been forced to visit on of it’s ugly step sister gyms around town while the weight room was closed down. i have to say that it’s very nice…wide open, lots of natural light, cool hues of blue and slate with hints of brown (gasp! just like my sight!). even though it’s further away, i prefer WSC over Vida and Results because those are just too gay for me. too many gays there all the time and i know, at least at Vida, the atmosphere resembles more of a night club than a gym. and that’s just not for me. so i think i will stick with my refreshed WSC.
now that Idol has narrowed it down to their final top 13 contestants…here are my takes on these people:
alexis grace–who?
some kind of bearish guy named something Sarver–buh-bye.
danny “i love pimping out my dead wife” gokey–he’s some sort of bible beating do-gooder who is less pop star and more volunteer at the special olympics.
adam lambert–gay and flamboyant in that freddy mercury, andy bell, scissor sisters kind of way. which means, obviously, that homophobic america will put him in his place. or maybe not. maybe the tween girls (the sway bots down front in the audience each episode) will keep him in there longer than the rest of america would prefer. also, i think he’s trying too hard to be artsy and different, if you’ve seen any of his photos or youtube videos. burning man, really? ugh.
allison something-hispanic-or-other–she performed Alone and pretty much nailed it and she seems young and likable. i hope she’s not a one note wonder and that whiskey soaked, ridden hard into the ground voice (at 17!) can stick around a while.
kris allen–he’s like wall paper to me. it’s just sort of there, but really should be taken down.
lil rounds–she’s black, sassy and got three kids. by law, i’m forced to like her.
scott “people only vote for me cause i’m blind” mcintyre–he’s got a child molester’s smile.
jorge–for some reason i like him. he actually seems like just some real kid who was not pimped out or planted by producers who seems a bit overwhelmed, but completely grateful and humble.
anoop–he seems fun and nerdy and that may work for him. plus his name is fun to say. and India is the big trend now (see: slumdog millionaire)
jasmine murray–i kind of feel bad for her because a BIG reason that she was brought on as one of the wild cards is race. it’s a very white top 13. but if thin voiced divas like brandy and monica and rhianna can have careers, so can she.
megan joy cockrey–i think she’s crazy. not tatiana del toro crazy, but crazy never the less. i don’t think she’ll last long.
matt giraud–he has tiny baby teeth and i just can’t.
