the FINAL showdown!!!!

This is it! It’s now or never! Bo Bice versus Carrie Underwood… who will sing their way to the top? Who will have the most number votes? Who will be crowned as the next American Idol…



Kodak Theatre in Hollywood is the home of the Oscars, but not tonight. This evening, it’s the stage for arguably the two most talented people left in the show, Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood. Everyone dressed well for this occasion, and that includes Simon who wore a black coat. And since, Vonzell didn’t have the same privelege as Jasmine to do the toss coin, we figure out who’ll sing first a few minutes before they kick of the show. And based on that seemingly rigged acting of Ryan, Bo is up first.



Bo is traveling on a long long road, and it’s pretty obvious that he’s probably not gonna get where he plans to. I’m sorry but that was one of the dullest performance to date. Anyone who thought it rocked needs some good shaking.

Verdict: Worst



Farm girl is ready and she wants us take her inside your heaven, I’ll be more than glad to enter hers… ahem…. Moving on, it was good, it may not be great but she sounded better than beardmate.

Verdict: Good

ROUND 1: CARRIE



Second chance for Bo, he’s doing vehicle and it may not be as great as the first one, it was good enough. Something is definitely up… he seemed really really controlled as if he’s scared of something…

Verdict: Good



Carrie made a terrible mistake by choosing to sing Independence Day once again. People are s tired of this song… they would have loved to hear something really great like Alone or Crying, as mentioned by Cowell. I just hope she does better the next round.

Verdict: Okay

ROUND 2: BO



Bo is not going down without a fight, unfortunately his version of inside your heaven stuck up in his ass. He seemed bewildered… the old Bo is suddenly gone… he seemed to have lost his passion… that made him the star he is today and he lacks it on the day when he needs it the most…

Verdict: Good



Carrie just sealed this. Angels really brought her here. That note was terrific, but I did catch the breaking of her voice during the final note. It was quite funny but both of them had the same mistake. They seem t think that the other one is gonna win which caused their unusual shyness…

Verdict: Better

ROUND 3: CARRIE

So, here you go. If Simon is right again, then Carrie is gonna win, if not, then we have a new rocker as an Idol which is not that bad but will be a terrible blow to our farm girl’s future.


A few hours from now we’ll witness the crowing of the new Idol and let’s all hope, it’s the one I’m routing for wahehe..

-Riddler OUT!!!

the road to the finals...

Idol was on fire tonight and the game is really on…. and music mogul Clive Davis was there to join in the fun... though he's really too old to enjoy anything wahehe... i do like though how he acts all Donald Trump when he's critiquing... waheheh



Vonzell is up first with the song picked out for her by Clive Davis. Not as great as the renditions of Anwar and Jasmine but the high notes were definitely great. She may never love this way again but I do hope she performs better the next time--- or maybe not… wahehehe…

Verdict: Okay



BO is now up the stage with his Elton John song, something even I (like Randy) thought would be a wrong song for him. But surprisingly it did work. All of a sudden, I was seeing Fantasia all over his face and that winning glow. Man, can he really be the next Idol… Pls. Don’t let the sun go down on me… make my girl win…

Verdict: Better



Carrie is still crying, without tears though. I hate it when people call her wooden, yes I know she needs to convey her emotions better but she definitely doesn’t move like a wood… wahehe.. I’m fighting for her life here…

Verdict: Good

Riddler’s ranking:
1. Bo
2. Carrie
3. Vonzell



Baby V is back, and wow! That was a great performance, probably her best yet, what am I saying, her best ever since this will be her final week. Simon said, that now they have a real competition, wah.. stop it!!! she’s not gonna make it!!!! Didn't know he part of the chain of fools...

Verdict: Better



Bogart has the balls to sing without the band, and I gotta say, he’s out to win. It is as if he’s been keeping all of this from everyone and strike when everyone wasn’t listening. That was the difference between him and Connie, the latter started early, and then all of a sudden, a couple of so-so performance caused him the boot… Within a dream, he’s certainly the wizard, such a wise move…

Verdict: Better



Oh, my f***in’ God! Carrie did not just do that? WOW!!!! Now I’m really convince she should win this, it was brilliant. Making most out of nothing at all is really her style, that note WOW!!! And I mean WOW!!!!

Verdict: Best

Riddler’s ranking:
1. Carrie
2. Bo
3. Vonzell



Last chance Vonzie, and poor girly, she gave it away on that one.. yup, it’s her style but there’s nothing in there to make her special… she had a great run but it’s gotta end here.. I love her from the beginning, in fact, if you can remember she’s my second girl in this competition, but she’s gotta go… we’ll miss you Unitel Postal Service girl. Hopefully someday we’ll hear your voice on the radio…

Verdict: Good



Thank God, a bad song from Bo at long last! Well, it wasn’t that bad but it was not as great as the last two performance so it’s a good thing. Man, but Paula’s right, I’m feeling really nervous for Carrie, okay, I know she’s going to the finals, but going after Bo, it may lead to her downfall… I can’t get no satisfaction cuz Bo’s doing well… grrrr

Verdict: Good



Our girl is out for a last punch, and she does it country style, Shania Twain never looked this pretty, waheheh.. man, I feel like a woman will be the last thing I’ll think about when I see Carrie, but she did look a little fat on that dress… don’t worry farm girl, you got this one in the bag, well at least, maybe two weeks ago.. wahhhhhhhh

Verdict: Better

That’s it… just one more week and we’re bound to wait fro another year… man! Time flies so fast… I hope the starts get it right tomorrow… pls… let my baby get through…

-Riddler OUT!

Who should go:
Vonzell
Who might go:
Carrie (huhu)
Who will go:
Vonzell (pls…)

and then there were three....

From four will emerge the top three. Who will be the casualty tonight??? We will find out… not LIVE… on American Idol…

Okie, so Ryan came out in a suit, and I honestly didn’t like it… Our contestants treat us with their appallingly choreographed group song. I did like the song though. Islands in the stream, I thought that was Ghetto Superstar… shows how young I truly am wahehehehe…

Okie, now let’s see how they all were during the auditions. Wow… Baby V is a threat to Tina Knowles, with that pink and green color combination waheheh…. Next is Anthony, he looked terribly different from now. It is as if he heard one of the nurses talk about an audition and he immediately escaped from the ICU and head to the auditions… Oh, so cute, our farm girl with her pink dress and Simon all of a sudden was lost with words… he was all “very good”…. And finally, the audition that nobody has ever seen, Bo Bice and his Baguio look… let’s leave it there…



Oh, now I know why Ryan’s all dressed-up, he’s giving away those little rectangular thingys they swipe around… wahehe... So okay, this is definitely gonna be a fast elimination, Bo safe, Carrie oh-so-safe… So is it Baby V or Federo V, well, for the first time in Idol history, the final performer gets the ax. Yup, the Fedoration has gone down… he’s now known as Anthony Farewell. Oh, my girl is crying, poor Carrie, it's okay honey, he'll be alright... and poor Anthony, he sang the wrong version of the song hahah!!! Now that will be remembered...

Okay, so, definitely the Top 3 I was looking forward to (after Anwar and Connie got the boot). Is it gonna be a Bo-Ca, Bo-Vo or Ca-Vo???? Well, I don’t care as long as my girl wins… waeheh…

In tribute to Anthony here’s some of his pics that I stole from various sites….

Anthony during his birthday bash last week…



Anthony and Baby V…



Anthony and Connie…



Anthony and Carrie (they’re just FRIENDS!!!!)





Here’s the proof, Anthony and his Girlfriend Irina (no, she’s not a member of the KGB)



Anthony, eating his Last Supper…

Idol voting controversy…

Yep, another one…. Apparently, FOX and the producers got the wrong numbers for Closed Captioning… here are the pictures…







All numbers that appeared for the last three contestants were the digits for Carrie. Is it a conspiracy??? I don’t think so… but is sure does open the doors for the idiots out there who thinks that this will austerely affect the results….. it’s a singing competition, why would anybody use close captioning for that (other than our hearing impaired brothers and sisters)?

For more crazy reactions click here.

the country and the philly.....

After two weeks of absence, I’m back to give you the latest buzz about Idol…. Well, first let’s review what happened tonight…

Ryan reminded us of how great this week has been, especially for Paula. The fans (and even Simon) seemed to have given their full support to her and she looked surprisingly younger!!!! Just like last week, there are two themes for tonight, two completely different types of music: The Country and The Philly. Enough said. Let’s see how the fab four will fair...



Oh, don’t you just love their accents? Haha! I’m talking about the friends of my girl Carrie, yup, she going up first tonight, and it’s gonna be one hot performance. It’s our country girl meets country theme. What can possibly go wrong? Nothing!!! She nailed it and man was that fun!!! The girl just showed us how they do it country style. I loved it; the judges loved it; everyone loved it, except for those who hate Carrie cuz they don’t look us pretty as our farm girl… I’ll hop on to your sin wagon anytime..

Verdict: Best



Now, it’s time for Bo, possibly his worst performance of all. And the look ain’t that pretty either. Who ever told him to let all his facial hair loose needs some good spankin’. I know that it’s a great day to be alive, but not the best day to sing that song….

Verdict: Worse



Baby V is up next, also with her worst performance of all. She looked terrified and she sounded horrible. Something is definitely up, and I dunno if Paula’s just really crazy, but asking how she’s doing in front of 20+ M viewers when you something is wrong is definitely a move to force outburst. And Vonzell did end up crying. What’s wrong with her??? How do I live without you, is that dedicated to the dog or the grandmother???

Verdict: Worst



I never thought this day would come but it did came. Anthony as the last performer. Ha! Well, it wasn’t that bad, but not that great either. He’s cute and all but not a great performer. Somehow I just got sick of all the shouting and screaming that I just wanna turn off the volume of the screen and just watch him. I’m already there… I’ll do it next time..

Verdict: Good



Now it’s time for the classics of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and our farm girl needs to exchange the leather wardrobe and country boots for a white-shirt and weird-looking pants. What the hell was she thinking??? Unlike Simon, I will not blame the band, it was a lousy song choice indeed but I think Carrie was able to pull it off. The high notes were great and that’s good enough for me. If you don’t know me by now, I’m just your craziest fan waheheh… and oh, she cried too…

Verdict: Okay



BO is out for revenge, no, not against Donald Trump. But their looks are almost at the same scale. I said it before and I’ll say it again, lose the shades. Bogart, you’re not that famous yet. For the love of money, please here my plea… don’t wear it again… nonetheless, it was a terrific performance.

Verdict: Best



Vonzell finally got a grip and she’s back to her sweet, fun-loving self. She’s definitely great with these Disco type of songs and she nailed this one pretty well. If we are to consider omens, this is a bad choice… During the Top 4, Latoya was the third performer and she also sang this song at that time. I just hope you don’t leave me this way… not now… I wanna see you in the top three.

Verdict: Better



Anthony sang the same song as Carrie. If you’ll ask me, not much difference, except the song sounded better with him. Probably because it is a male song. Still not convince that he deserves to stay and definitely not the best performance tonight. Sorry….

Verdict: Okay

It was mostly a one win, one lose performance for each of them, except for Anthony who pulled of a back-to-back so-so. How will it fair tomorrow??? It is as much of a mystery to me as it is to you.
