American Idol : Lee Meets Crystal

I knew it! I mean everyone who has been following "American Idol" must have predicted that Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox will be the top two in this competition.

Like Duuh!

I mean -- puhleeze -- they're the best!

If good-lookin' Casey James had managed to get the cougars and babes on his side, then it would be a slaughter for him in the finals because, he'd be easy meat for either Lee or Crystal. By which time Casey's voters would have got some sense knocked into them -- it's about TALENT too, y'know!

I mean, Casey's so deliciously good-lookin' and all that but at the end of it, you want the Idol to be someone who deserves the place!

Casey...well, Casey honey, go to the next Hollywood studio and try to arm-twist a beefy role in some TV series. Glee? How I Met Your Mother? CSI ...whatever?

Hell, you don't need to arm twist.

Just show off that bod of yours and that flashing smile, and you'd get that juicy, er, I mean, plum role. I swear.
You oughta be a movie/TV star.
Your guitar playin' and your okay singin' -- added advantage!

Anywayz, folks, here's the story:

Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze will battle each other for the "American Idol" title next week after guitarist Casey James was voted off by viewers on Wednesday.

Bowersox, a 24-year-old dreadlocked mom, had for months seemed certain to win the top-rated TV singing show. But DeWyze, 23, who worked as a paintshop clerk in Chicago before auditioning for the show last year, has gained steadily in confidence.

His performance of Leonard Cohen's classic "Hallelujah" on Tuesday stunned the judges and brought the "Idol" studio audience to its feet.

Kelantan Palace Saga

Like everyone else, I am still trying to figure out what the hell is going on between the princes of the Kelantan palace.

I can guess. Power struggle?

Someone wants to be Ruler real fast?

A great effort is being done to make sure the Sultan remains weak and not-in-control.
Older son trying to fix the younger son who is trying to fix older son back. Accompanying plot invloves the Sultanah who is in cahoots with the younger son and then there is the council of whatever.

And then there is the second wife of the Sultan. Not to mention the Pas government who is pretending not to be involevd but I bet it is very much involved.

There are extras in this movie. Too many.

It is so ugly. Never have I witnessed anything like this involving the raja-raja Melayu in my life time, so far.

Very odd. But this is one sandiwara I do not look forward to seeing. I cringe everytime I think of what is going to happen next.

This is just not good.
