It's that special day of the year.....the American Idol finale!


Happy Idol Finale Wednesday everyone! Will it be Kris or Adam? Or as Ryan Seacrest so eloquently put, "Guy next door" vs. "Guy-liner?" - a question I find myself asking quite a bit around New York.

N e wayz...the other day I needed some new toothpaste. I've been really loving Colgate's toothpaste/mouthwash combo lately so my eye was immediately drawn to these stand-alone tubes sitting in a dark aisle in the Duane Reade by my work. I scanned the shelf for the toothpaste I've been planning to buy (Electic Mint) but was sidetracked by this special edition (please note the selection in Duane Reade was sparse on this particular day) - Colgate Pop Stars w/ star-shaped breath strips - mild mint flavored. At first I questioned whether or not it was a kids product and then I decided 'tis the season of pop stars, so - why not!?

After reviewing the product online, it appears I did buy a kids product... But my only real problem is that the mild mint is sooo mild that it doesn't deliver that kick I'm looking for after a brushing session. It's just kinda ehh. Kind of like Kris Allen . Cute packaging, but doesn't deliver where I need it to.

i saw electric mint the other day and totally thought you would have it. also, idol i don't know what i'm going to do without you. i'm still getting over allison being kicked off early for lame gokey.

Yeah, electric mint is tempting...maybe next time.

And AI, I must say, it's weird for me dogg. This year I have someone I want to win (and another person I wouldn't mind winning) instead of someone that I really DON'T WANT to win...well now that Gokey's gone.

i'm sorry but Gokey was the best person on there! Are you people serious????

Susan said...

it was universally agreed that gokey was horrible. plus he seemed to have an attitude. if 'dad rock' had a mascot on idol this year it was danny gokey.

cLAmZ said...

yeah, people seemed to think he had an 'attitude' just because he didn't wear his emotion on his sleeve. so what! plus, his voice was the most unique.

Susan said...

if unique is his rock week "dream on" performance, please don't make me hear the rest!! the dude was a wedding singer sent from the 90's to assault my ears.

but let's not dwell on how much gokey robbed real contestants of longer and more successful runs, i read that kris painted 1 of his fingernails for the finale for solidary with adam, and adam took fingernail polish off to do the same for kris. could those guys be any cuter!@#$!!! i wonder what brand it was.
