Classless and Clueless and Disgusting! Brent Buckman Fired- The Apprentice-03-20-06
This Article is Written and Owned by: Arne
Just as you thought that, the Donald and his right hand eyes and ears were on a direct course of action and accountability, highlighting the facts of true reasons to candidate’s demise. We get a show like last night, that was full of so much crock, that it would take the sewage department at least a year to get it all cleared up.
Last night’s apprentice was the last night for Brent Buckman, who was fired by the Donald. Now ordinarily that is part of the show, but for the life of me, I cannot see the reason that he was fired! For being difficult????? when was that exactly??? Synergy who should be renamed Clueless, had successfully put Brent on ice ! They gave him no tasks to do, but menial little tasks that did not even exist (i.e. in charge of the clothes department). Brent was not responsible for the loss, Andrea played the greatest part in the loss,she claimed this was her department of knowledge and expertise. With that self-indulgent advertisement of her self, then Synergy should have won easily. Instead they lost by a mile, the banner was gaudy, uninteresting and wordy! You would think with all the bragging we saw Andrea do , that she would of caught that and changed it with her so called superior authority and know how! The fact is she missed it and so did the rest of the genius’s ( not) on the team! As a matter of fact the rest of the team did not like the banner when they sent it over but did NOT have the courage to say so. This grouped with Tammy the project manager’ s main focus of a timeline, got them the loss.

The Extrasensory Perception of Icon Great Stevie Wonder- American Idol 3-14-06
This Article is Written and Owned by: Arne
Stevie Wonder’s appearance on American Idol is a night to remember just on that alone. This Icon great very presence allows the competitor a glimpse at REAL SUCCESS. Stevie Wonder is one of the people I refer to when they meet their obstacles in life and come through it shining and victorious. Some of the top 12 were joyful with emotions and tears when Stevie walked in the room. Some of them reminisced on favourite songs of the Icon Great. I remembered in my album collection (not CD) that I still have a classic first Stevie Wonder Album when he was 12 years old. Called Little Stevie Wonder the 12-Year-Old Genius. This album included Fingertips, however, my favourite song on that Album is “Hallelujah I love her so“. Stevie Wonder has extrasensory perception. Whenever a person is missing one sense, they make up for it with other senses. Stevie Wonder has vision and he is intuitive. He showed us this in his remarks about the competitors. It was a night that Ryan continued on in fashion and a night that I agreed with Simon on some counts.( choke, gasp) It was also a night that Chris Daughtry didn’t raise the bar!
The show opens and American Idol host dapper Ryan Seacrest continued to be dramatic in a sombre voice he extends, to make it to the top twelve is an honour, to win is a dream. Then he exclaims in a louder more excited voice, “you can make it happen” as he points at us! This is a completely new level of pressure. This is American Idol! This is where it gets tough. We have a bigger stage, a thousand lights, a bigger band and a killer sound system. It is all about people like you who watch the top twelve. He then goes to the top twelve’s journey and intro’s them one by one. The top twelve all look good, nice hairdos for the exception of Chris who has had no choice but to stay with the same hairdo!. Ryan Intro’s the Judges and makes small talk with Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest by getting their viewpoints The top twelve was obviously nervous because now it is the real deal, It is do or die time!

Would you date Ivanka Trump?
I’d date her! And apparently so would Dad, the Donald himself who recently was quoted as saying he’d date her.
I can see why because she is quite charming on the new season of The Apprentice.
And while we are on the subject of “beauty” - how about the latest crop of Apprentice wanna-bes! A good looking group to say the least!
A few are even stunners, but I’ll leave commenting on that for anther post.
Apprentice seems to be better this season and is off to a good start!

Not a Starry Night Lacklustre performances-American Idol Guys Recap:03-09-06
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
Compared to last week the guys, did not burn it up like last week, most of them did not give us a good performance on a night they should of battled it out. Ryan comes out and he looked more improved then on girl’s night. He goes through his usual intros of the Guys, Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest (Judges). Ryan did get a star welcome from the Audience! The Guys were supposed to be fired up! If you ask me the performances were only burning the remnants of last weeks cinders!!! The surprise of the night was Will Maker’s performance that may pull an upset on where the sixth spot should go.
First up was Gedeon McKinney who sang for us Icon Great James Brown’s “When a man loves a women”. Gedeon gave an excellent, excellent performance. Randy said, it was aight, and that Gedeon was definitely an old soul in the group. Paula said he was unique and he knew exactly how to highlight his vocals. Simon thought it was good, a bit cabaret, he liked Gedeon, he was interesting.
Second up was Chris Daughtry who sang for us Seeth’s “Broken”, it was a lacklustre performance, it was dull and bland. Randy says one more time he is a fan, and he loved people who knew who they were. Another good performance. Rock on Baby. Chris\t may be ousted tonight with that performance. Paula said, she could see him on the Radio and he was fantastic. Simon wasn’t as impressed, it was a bit indulgent, boring and that Chris had a long way to go.

Lisa Tucker underrated by Judges: American Idol Girls Recap.-3-08-06
This Article is Written and owned by: Arne
The show opens and Ryan warns its crunch time. Ryan introduces the girls, the judges . Ryan decided on trying out that disastrous combination of nice suit jacket with a pair of dowdy jeans. It was a night that we saw the judges consistently and shamefully underrate Lisa Tucker. The age factor seems to get in the way of Simon (dumbest) and now Randy Jackson (Dumber) joined Simon’s bandwagon.
Paris Bennett opens the show with Gloria Estefan’s “Conga”, I thought Paris did well, it was not her best. Randy said, it was not his favourite song choice for her, he wanted her to challenge herself, he was entertained it was ok. Paula said, it was a difficult song to sing, she was surprised, she is a talented singer. Simon’s critique oozed with the age factor and liability he needs to demonstrate each week. He wanted her to sing a younger song. It was vocally ok, people love her, see her next week. ( I would like Simon to give us a list of what a younger song is) I didn’t know when artists sang that there were age groups attached to their albums on who should listen to them!!!!!
Next up was the underrated Lisa Tucker, who sang Tiffany Taylor’s “Where I Stand”. As usual, Lisa did an excellent outstanding job. Lisa can blow, she brings it every performance and Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest seem to deny her the credit she deserves. Lisa has been consistent every performance and the Judges specifically Simon has been consistent in denying her the correct credit.
( it’s to old for them.) Randy parroted, liked the song! It was older for me!( yeah that makes so much sense, really clears it up doesn’t it). Paula offered, that Lisa was a seasoned performer, she has poise, amazing, would like to see her sing a song we could get into.( where has Paula been, Lisa has allowed us to get into her performances every week), clearly Paula was to busy smiling at the Dawg Pound!) Simon the Crone, repeated his age liability!!!! Agreed with Randy and then made the stupid comment that it sounded like Lisa’s mum is picking the song. ( What a strange critique coming from a man that is older then Lisa’s Mum!!!!!!!!). The Judges have consistently taken away from Lisa’s excellent performances each week. They allow the age liability to get into the way of giving Lisa proper critique and proper credit!!!

Tough Competition: Jose Sway Fire and Desire Penala Gone: American Idol Recap- 03-05-06
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
On Thursday night, much to my dismay Jose Sway Penala was ousted from the competition. As predicted, so were Brenna Gethers, Heather Cox and David Radford!
The surprise for me was Sway, who I thought should have made the top twelve. However, upon reflection of how America is voting, it seems to me that the American Idol voters are getting tough!!!!! This year’s competition is very strong and in fact is going to be a tough competition. This week the guys owned the competition and in fact ran away with it.The talent for both the girls and guys is so strong and on equal level, that each competitor will have to bring it each week and give over 200 percent! Simply, American idol voters are ousting the competitors that have had a bad night, or that their talent is not in league with the rest of the competitors. The same people that were eliminated, (for the exception of one) may of made the final twelve in previous competitions. Not this year! American Idol is experiencing more viewers, which is resulting in more voters. As well as a diverse viewing audience in terms of age!!! It is not just teenagers watching this show! It is families; it is professional people, adults beyond the perceived teen target audience that American Idol anticipates, adult ages ranging from 30 into retirement ages.

Just you Bring it- The Guys Owned the competition this week: American Idol 03-01-06
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
The guys brought it tonight, they ran the gauntlet! Every male competitor tonight gave it his all. There were some better then others, but in a whole, the guys owned the competition this week! They not only sung well, they had the viewer’s excited and restored enthusiasm to the show! It will be hard to pick out of the guys who will win the six spots for the final round! It was an astounding night, not only did the guys bring it, Ryan and the Judges brought it home for us tonight! Excellent singing and humorous spirited jousting. With the way the guys performed tonight, the girls were put on notice! The guys put the heat on the girls tonight to bring it!!!
The show opens and out swaggers Ryan Seacrest. Tonight Ryan had something to swagger about. His attire made him look polished, dapper, spiffy and debonair. Ryan’s 3-piece attire was a pleasant surprise and a vast improvement. I have to give him his due, and when he falters, I verbally slap him around!
As usual Ryan could not resist being dramatic! He announces to us, Last night the girls sang, but he asks what will happen tonight? Ryan reinforces his drama by asking, what will happen with your votes? From there he introduces the judges; Paula is sitting next to Simon again. While Ryan was introducing the Judges, I noted that Simon was “gaping” at Paula’s femininity! Paula looked good tonight and Simon could not help but notice, gape, stare!!!! Ryan makes some light jest of Simon, when he said that his favourite three expressions are ghastly, horrible, nightmare.

Bland and Boring Performances: American Idol 2-28-2006
In comparison to last week, the girls were not on par and honestly they seemed to of fell apart! This was a night that we heard Simon bragging to us once more, about just how sweet he is, and he is never wrong! A night that should have been a fight for six seats came off without even a whimper from most of the girls. I was very disappointed; most of the singing was bland and boring! I am in disagreement with dumb, dumber and dumbest views on some of the performances.
The show opens and out pops Ryan, looking cocky and wearing a distressful pair of jeans that would have been more fitting in a show like the Beverley Hillbillies, the only thing that was missing was Ryan’s ugly checker shirt to go with it! Ryan proclaims ten of the best-undiscovered female voices will sing tonight. Ten different voices with one definite goal. To win your votes. You decide their destiny, you make the call. This is American Idol! Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, always the flair for dramatic!
Ryan then exclaims with delight that American Idol was top rating for last weeks elimination night, and that seventy-eight million viewers watched the elimination round on Thursday. Ryan goes on to impress upon us what big ratings American Idol enjoyed, over the Olympics and other shows that anticipated high ratings. Ryan said they were 2.2 in the ratings. Thank you, Thank-you, Thank-you he extends to the viewers for watching.
Ryan in his hillbilly attire introduces the ten remaining gals and extends to us that the girls will battle it out for us tonight. (Wrong, they barely performed, let along sung for us) Ryan then intro’s the Judges, this is were Simon starts hugging himself, and cuddling himself, and letting us all know that Simon loves Simon!!! Simon gleefully shares with us that he is NEVER wrong!!! Simon has always suffered from delusions. Simon went on to distress us all when he conveyed that he would give himself a ten as a judge! Really, a ten? I would give Simon a 4.5, Randy has enhanced his vocals on giving feedback, he would be more of an 8.5 and Paula would be an 8.0. Sorry Simon, You are wrong!!!
