American Idol Series : It's Chubby's Time.

As expected,Crish Sligh otherwise known as Chubby got axed last night in American Idol.His rendition of Every Little She Does Is Magic of the Police was unanimously panned out by all 3 judges ,4 including my wife.Their common critism was that Sligh's timing was way off.Gwen Stefani said that too..She was not a lot of help to the Idol finalists as she basically just listened to them and did'nt do much coaching..Was Gwen intimated by the Idol finalists ? When Sligh auditioned for the show,he was funny with his off the cuff jokes aside from being a good singer.He dropped the jokes because he was afraid not to be taken seriously.Too bad,he was hilarious.This is a singing competition so that is understandle.Of course,Sanjaya survived another day.I wonder if Howard Stern's order to his thousand of listeners to vote for Sanjaya has anything to do with it?

American Idol Series .Stephanie Is Out.

Uneexpectedly,Stephanie Edwards was voted off American Idol. It was choice between her and Chris Richardson who sang 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' beautifully . Stephanie sang better than the others with her style my wife said is like Beyonce although she looks like a younger and prettier version of Fantasia . The idol finalsts sang some British hits of the 60's.It was very good musicwise.The boys did well tonight even favorite whipping boy , Sanjaya.This must be because they got very wide songs to choose from from such groups as the Herman's Hermits,Rolling Stones,Shirley Bassey,Lulu.The latter was the show's guest aside from x of Herman's Hermits.I love this period's music than Diana Ross' that was the theme last week.sang an old favorite of mine, There's A Kind Of Hush .He is still bloody good while Lulu's To Sir With Love brought back some distant memories.

Sundance Channel

This afternoon , I watched 2 documentaries in the Sundance channel . First , about the country of Bolivia's presidential election . It was interesting . I learned a lot about this South American country's politics. . A US consultancy firm led by James Carville , a Democratic strategist , was among those who went to advised the president on his political run . The president won but was forced out of office .
After this , there was the story of Salvador Allende rise and fall. I kinda' sympathized with Allende . Kinda' because I'm not too sold out with his Fidel Castro's type of politics . Allende was different to Castro because he did Chile's road to socialism differently . Turns out that Castro's way is the right one as Allende was ousted and killed in a coup d'etat . Both films were in nglish subtitles .
