Entertainmentoday

Okay, so I was actually bummed to see Allison leave Idol last night.  And then she cried during the painful exit video montage.  I feel bad whenever contestants start crying.  I mostly feel bad ‘cause even though I wasn’t rooting for her, Allison is such a great talent.  I just feel she didn’t have the public’s vote over the rest of the guys.  I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for Adam Lambert and  Kris Allen (even though he’s the weakest vocalist of the bunch, which he happily admitted to a week ago!).  Allison’s young and still needs to work on her maturity level as far as readying herself for the cutthroat music biz.  In the end, I have no reason to worry about this girl — she’s gonna be just fine. But let’s move on to the other two female performers – Gwen Stefani as the guest and Paula Abdul as the guest/judge.  WTF?

First up…Gwen Stefani.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HER!  She is easily one of the coolest chicks in the industry, but her look bothered me.  Neon green bra under white tank top?  Totally acceptable L.A. wear, but that had to be the most unbecoming bra in the world.  Not only did it make her boobs look unusually pointy, but they looked SAGGY.  Not grandma saggy, but droopy sad saggy, if you will.  Aye Carumba, we know you just had a baby, but geez!  Her movements were so awkward and uncomfortable, as if she were struggling to find some sort comfort zone on the Idol stage.  Her entire performance seemed winded and heavy footed, like she was out shape, yet trying very hard to play it off.  I guess that’s why she decided to throw in 5 push ups in the middle of her routine.  BAD IDEA.  It made her move even slower and took away from her already weakened voice.  I know motherhood’s kept her busy, but WOW.  Expected so much more from her, but even Gwen’s entitled to an off night!

Second up…Paula Abdul.  Don’t get me wrong, Paula looks FABULOUS and she can still move.  But that song was HORRIBLE.  It was sad to see that her music hasn’t improved much since the ‘80’s, but even her ‘80’s stuff sounded better than that!  She does look happy and healthier, so I’m not about to rain on her parade.  Thought the whole routine was a bit cheesy, but you know what – Paula still did her thing.
