Hey y’all –
Just popping in (did I really just say “popping in”? apparently I am smack-dab in the middle of a 1974 Folgers coffee commercial.) to say that I wrote a recap of last night’s American Idol over at Ree’s blog. If you’re interested in that sort of thing, of course.
Also, I would like to say that if you’re not interested in that sort of thing, you may find that Harry Connick, Jr. has the power to change your mind.
Because if I could, I would insert ALL THE EMOJIS into this post. He is that good – such a welcome addition.
Hope you’re having a great Thursday!
1) Yes! I loved that he called out the girl singing inappropriate songs. I was thinking the same thing.
2) The terrible singer with the great knock-knock joke rambled something, and Harry said, “Yeah, I didn’t get one word of that”. I about died. So funny.
What a great addition he is. And when they played the montage about no one knowing who he was, I kept thinking “have they not seen Hope Floats?”. Then I realized that movie is 15 years old and realized most of them were toddlers, and then felt old and….old.
Great post!
I thought this judges panel would be a good fit and it IS! Loved the show…looking forward to this season
ALL THE EMOJIS…. You make me giggle, BooMama! I’ll confess I haven’t watched AI yet this season but I do love Harry Connick, Jr. Maybe I’ll try to follow this season, although I’m terrible at committing to real-time reality shows/ competitions. It just makes me so nervous for them, it’s like watching the Miss America Pageant but stretched out over months! I do love Miss America, but I just don’t know if I can handle that kind of pressure for that length of time, haha!
And for some reason my eyes read flopping in, instead of popping in, until I re-read it. Must be my mind seeing how I feel tonight, flopping around like a fish after a long day.
Harry is a bit much for me sometimes, but easy on the eyes. I do like their dynamic. Hopefully it’ll be a good season. It would take a lot on their part to be any worse than last season – shutter, I’d prefer to forget all about last season.
Oh and ya, bought your book, and am loving it. I knew I would.
nighter night, boo mama.

I totally agree. I have not watched Idol in several seasons but am a huge Harry fan. Based on that and your excitement, I decided to give it a try this week. I am more in love with him and completely hooked in. He is a breath of fresh air. He is eloquently offering his musical expertise. I had no idea how funny he was either. I have laughed out loud several times.
I LOVE idol this season, the judges are great, and oh Harry Connick Jr. has always been one of my fav’s his personality KILLS me..love love love!
I LOVE Harry Connick Jr.!!! I would watch him on anything – even a snoozer of a golf show!
AI hasn’t had credibility for awhile (if it ever really had it), but that finally seems to be changing. Yay for the improvements this season!
Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through
some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be
book-marking and checking back frequently!
