Cookeys Celebrate



Way to go David Cook! He won by an impressive 12 million votes!! He's been my favorite Idol during the whole process, so I'm pretty psyched he won.

Jammin out with ZZ Top and starring in a Guitar Hero Commercial was just the icing on the cake. Did you notice Archuleta took the PG-route and wore boxers in his GH Commercial? Golly-garsh! The bit with Mike Meyers with his new movie was pretty funny too, especially when they were comparing the beards of the Davids!

Anyway, Congratulations & Best of Luck to David Cook!

My Idol Prediction for Tonight

This should be pretty obvious to everyone, but Jason Castro is going home. I usually don't like when Simon diggs into people, but Jason was not very good (and hasn't been for quite some time now). Bob Marley is rolling over in his grave right now! I need to listen to some good reggae to get over that disaster!

Side-note: My favorite Marley song --> Sun is Shining

Thought it was cool that Davey did a Duran Duran song (Hungry Like the Wolf)...Brought back many early junior high memories. I remember when we did a Penny-Drive in 6th grade to win a contest for a concert at our school. Oh, teenage heartthrobs! John Taylor was my favorite. My room was even plastered in posters of them :)

Anyway, Syesha was incredible and I don't usually pay much attention to her. She was a star last night though!

I have to say that I love this blog — Rickey.org and that he does an awesome job capturing the moments (and humor) on Idol.

Check out this awesome collage from his site...

Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

Tuesday night TV is one of my favorites... American Idol & Hell's Kitchen Baby! Cooking is something my husband and I love and David Cook ROCKS!! Plain and simple.

Neil Diamond Night!?!

Neil night! LOL! Not a huge fan of his work, but I guess he's quite a legend. My husband likes his music and threatens to torture me with listening to it. My pick, David Cook, sang "All I Really Need is You" and "Always Be My Baby." Perfect!! I think he was outstanding! I still have this weird feeling it's going to be the other David taking the prize, but you never know. Hopefully it goes like they're predicting — David vs David. Did you notice the AC on his guitar & coat? Is that something to do with his brother?

Brook needs to be the next to go! She should've been given the boot last week after starting her song over. She got the sympathy vote from America. She's becoming my Sanjaya!


Now to Hell's Kitchen

Vanessa decides to leave after her burn injury last week. Poor girl...I actually liked her!

Chef Ramsay picks Jen’s pizza as the contest winner (little bit of Italy, little bit of France pizza). Oh no you di-int!! It actually looked tasty. Matt was furious because he thought his pizza should have made it to the top of the guy's picks! Why is it that he always has that look on his face like he needs to take a crap? Petrozza actually called him a "ding-a-ling."

It's sad to say, but I really don't have a favorite contestant still!! Jen is annoying and always flapping her lips. In fact she even made a comment about Christina talking to hear herself talk and always discussing unnecessary stuff. Um, hello??

Rosann cracks me up because I'm originally from Long Island, NY. Love her accent! Brings me back to my NY days. Did you know she's always "dreamed of flying in a hellacoptah!" She really choked last night though... loved Chef's imitation of her stirring the vegetables! If he was yelling at me like that, I would have thrown the veggies in his face!

Just looking at Louross makes me giggle! Ben was hilarious when he commented on him dealing with the agony of defeat as he "walks around like a whiney little punk-@ss-bitch with his little mohawk." Much friction between Ben & Louross. Ben gets his punishment by having to deliver pizzas in this little roller-skate like vehicle! LOL! Louross reminds me of one of the characters from the movie Hackers. Renoly Santiago – remember him?! 'Phantom Phreak'

Anyway, Christina is plain and simply Barbie, "like OMG!" She was actually up for elimination but escaped the de-robing of her chef jacket.

I'm babbling now like Christina now... Later!

Oh yeah and nobody gets the boot tonight since they completed service last night. Freebie since Vanessa left!

My Idol Pick & Paula's Cracked Fashion-Sense


You rock, David Cook!

So my husband didn't really care for David Cook's performance last night, but I thought it was awesome. In case you missed it, the theme was a song from your birth year. He chose something daring (and that I never would have chosen) — Billie Jean from good 'ol Michael Jackson. I thought it was a very interesting arrangement (originally done by Chris Cornell) and he executed it well. He even got kudos from Simon... who'da thunk? I seriously think he'll win the competition! But if some major let-down occurs, he will be just like Chris Daughtry and still rake in the recognition he deserves.

My second pick, unfortunately didn't do well last night. Carly Smithson's performance was distracting and it seemed like she wasn't prepared. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was not a great song choice for her. Love her accent though, and think she has a great personality!

Did you catch Paula? She couldn't even sit down! And what was with her outfit? LOL!! Mandi if you're reading this... she had very, may I say — "Elegant SLEEVIES"!!! Gotta give her credit for what she wears though. At least she didn't look doped out like usual!


Anway, good luck to David Cook tonight!
