ron religiously watches american idol.
I dont.
it's time consuming, generally annoying and talentless and actually too noisy for me.
though i love the whole audition episodes - and then I just ask who won at the end of the season.
more often than not, we will never hear from the winner ever again - with the exception of the gal that won the 1st season - cripes - whats her name.......kelly clarkson! there we go - and carrie underwood.
anyhoo - so this current season has been going on - and whenever ron is watching, i'm usually on my laptop - with my earphones on - listening to something else or watching some downloaded show - so i dont even know who the contestants are. apparently the pinay gal really sucked (thats a direct quote from die=hard viewers i know) and there is an irish chick who can sing well and some rock star dude who did a great job on my favorite mariah song.
so fast forward to what apparently was an andrew lloyd webber night. now i am a musical theatre freak. like serious freak. i cant even begin to tell you.
right now - i've been singing "some other life" from hello again
this is like life-long obsession. since i was a child.
and im proud to say - my kids are starting early. the girls love love and sing the most obscure showtunes ever. there is always a showtune in my head. like 24-7 - for every situation i find myself in.
bianca, kate and i were shrieking along with chita - "gimme gimme gimme gimme hugs!! gimme gimme gimme gimme squeezes!" on the way home from ballet/piano this morning.
so was i excited enough to sit my ass down to watch idol tonight? HELL NO.
andrew lloyd is fabulous but his musicals are so gasgas and overused i've put most of them on the list of things i will once again listen to in 2046 (woohoo wong kar wai) along with freaking les mis or saigon. (eeeeewnesss and zzzzzzzzzz)
anyhoo -
the exceptions obviously are -PARTS of evita - ok - 2 parts lang - rainbow high (which is a fave shower song) and STAAAANDDDD BACK!! buenos aires - PARTS of Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat (Which my kids love love love) and jesus christ superstar as a whole - except for mary magdalene's i dont know how to love him (zzzzzzzz).
JCS is very dear to me - (and this is no joke) it is how my mother - who is horribly anti-organized religion and nuns and really didnt want us in a catholic school - taught me and pete the passion of christ back when we were kids. hahahhaa diba pete?
i very often randomly sing to ron - good caiphas...the council waits for you...ahahaah when he is taking too long in the banyo...hahahahaa or screech out - heal yourselves!!! hahahah (ok - i screech it out in my head.....to everyone around me - hahaha).
so back to american idol - god i ramble too much -
wel - fuck that - its my blog. hahaha
ok -
some blonde chick is singing the most god-awful lloyd webber song in my opinion - you must love me from evita - and she sings it HORRIBLY. i mean really. madonna sang it better and we all know how we were snickering in our seats in the theatre while watching her thinking how patti wanted to throttle her (and how antonio is hot hot hot).
so blonde chick is singing.
AND SHE RESTARTS THE SONG. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH sad.
and she has this constipated look on her face.
then kate - who is already asleep -
suddenly groggily wakes up.
sits up on the bed - cocks her head to the right - looks up at the ceiling and listens intently.
her eyes still on the ceiling.
then i'm laughing my ass off coz blonde chick cant sing so i ask - hey katie - is she singing good? or bad?
after a beat - kate drops her head back onto the pillow - snuggles her face into it and says BAD.
then falls asleep again.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
LOVE IT
