Raised what, Ryan? What does that even mean?
I'm still pondering this week's so-called theme, that being No Doubt and the artists who inspired No Doubt. I mean, it seems like they're casting the net pretty wide there, but I think I've managed to narrow it down to the following:
Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Las Ketchup
the Carter Family
Sweet Sensation
Close Lobsters
Pablo Cruise
Kenny Rogers
OMC
Jars of Clay
the Shop Assistants
Little River Band
Martika
Frank Sinatra Jr.
Dif Juz
Stone Temple PIlots
Daryl Hall (solo only)
Giggles
Sunny Day Real Estate
Jeremy Jordan ... all right
5 Neat Guys
Blowfish
Spanky and Our Gang
CIV
Tom T. Hall
Gino Vannelli
New Kids on the Block
the Killers
Stevie Wonder
Tina and the B-Side Movement
the Eagles
Robbie Williams (the singer, not the rapper)
GG Allin
the Connells
God's Property From Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation
Purple Ivy Shadows
Harry Belafonte
Down by Law
Robbie Dupree
Young Fresh Fellows
Eamon
Mel & Kim
Jeff Buckley
the Monochrome Set
Front 242
Carole King
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Frente!
Heavy D & the Boyz
Gwen Stefani
10 Years After
Think that about covers it, give or take a few. See, not so far-fetched after all.
ON WITH THE SHOW. Ryan tells us there was No Doubt! it was going to be a big night! I still can't believe how awful this show was. I'm even depressed by the AI-Ford music video.
As promised, continued proof that this man is all that is evil and unholy in this world and every other:

What kind of mind would even come up with that? I want everyone involved to be rounded up, whether you made it, wore it or allowed it on TV. I demand justice.
I'm tired of these people who are just not surprised that they're not in the bottom two/three/whatever. BUT OF COURSE I'M SAFE, OH TALENTED TALENTED ME. These douches don't have the right.
Hahaha, Bo Bice. He'll always be "Bo Butt" to me.
This Gwen Stefani special is sponsored by COKE! No one knows better than Gwen Stefani: Coke is it!
By the power of Grayskull, who is our bottom three this week:



Chris(topher) hopes "the slut" is staying. But Chris S. loves Jesus!
Well then. I can't possibly be surprised to see any of these people leave. But I still think "You guys are probably wondering why I called this meeting" is funny. Chris(topher) says it was all over when he said he was married, 'cause "chicks dig fat guys." He then points out how absolutely NO ONE seems remotely upset to see him go. Smiling and clapping for Tubby the Clown. Yup. What a way to go.
Sigh. Oh despondence. What to do?

Ahhh, bless you, Dilly and Krunk. You make the pain go away.

"Runner, you are terminated."

Posted by: Joey at March 29, 2007 03:46 AMBahaha Crush. YES. Let's throw Y Pants in there too. And ... Phil Collins.
Just don't include any ska or reggae in there! Because No Doubt have NEVER been inspired by ska or reggae! EVER!
