Yay IDOL! WOO!
But yeah so not a cuntree music fan... really only a tree fan....
anyways, Ryan Silly Seacrest decides to prank us and considering we watched this with a 5 hour delay the joke is somewhat lost on us.. well not really it just made him look like a tosser as we sit smugly comfy and warm on our recliners by the fireplace on the 2nd of April.
So anyways on with proceedings...
BROOKE: Jolene, Jolene, JO-LE-E-ENE! Starts off all knee slapping fun, love it! Brooke seems really at home in the country....
DAVID C: Little Sparrow, isn't that what Carly did in Bealtles week? badoom chhhh, his own arrangement though, finally! Ooh it's all broody and stuff, I liiiiike! Voice sounds great and settled, works the balldry of the song really well, drums are moody too and love it!
RAMIELE: Does she ever cross our mind? Hmm, not anymore I'm afraid...
JASON: Oooh hunky funky start, dunno this song title but oh well, we missed it cause we were discussing our indifference towards Ramiele Pinay. This is another consistent performance however that's the problem, WE WANT MORE! Well, less instruments, MORE JASON!
CARLY: Here We Come Again, Dolly likes this choice and I kinda do too, She sounds a tad different, maybe controlled, comfortable, pretty, ehoey, Awesome big note, love it!
mmm... lemon and tequila...mmmmmmm
DAVID A: Goldust or some disneyish crap, BRING BACK THE FARNSY! He can hit the big notes but he has a horrid callaeic sound in his voice, top 6 at most. Simon says on the money but he said tha about Kristy last week so his opinion no longer counts.
KRISTY: Sings some Joseph coloured coat tripe, this is shit when it should be red and yellow and pink and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach and olive and ruby and violet and...
SYESHA: Cl-iche much? When will this girl ever learn? Stupid generic song choice. You don't go from the bottom 2 one week to fucking attempting WHITNEY DOES DOLLY!!! Silly girl, I know the result has happened by now so here's hoping that the previous 3 performers are there!!!!! Go back to 'The One' it might be sufficient but this is season 7, for mediocre balladry see season 1-3 and 6. Thatnks for WASTING OUR TIME YOU THREE!!!
MICHAEL: Silky, sexy, smoothy, soulfully, masculine, out sings everyone Randy says Blazing Hot: AMEN SISTA!
Awesome night of Idol once again, Michael definetly the standout tonight, David Cook also awesome, Brooke and Carly none too far behind. It sucks about Chikky you bastards, he was cool and his niche was country rock and he out sings that silly Klitsy bitchy.
Rammy, Syesha and Kristy Lee for bottom 3 with Kristy to go already!

So The Girl Says...
Well, well, Idols Country week this week and as someone who hates country music, I kinda enjoyed the night! Dolly Parton has some alright songs! So here goes das verdict before we find out the actual verdict!
BROOKE: Jolene... she looks great! Suits her (sound that is) I think overall this is pretty great, the band sound great too haha everythings GREAT!
DAVID C: Little sparrow, voice sounds nice, this guy shuld win. He gave it a country rock feel (tho no surprises) and of course it suits him swimmingly!
RAMMY: Poor girl, another dissappointy performance from our once favourite pinay! Bye bye Rammy, one dissappointment too many in my pink book.
JASON: Typical Jason ountry, nice, different. After making the bottom 3 last week I hope this is enough because he kinda has been better.
CARLY: Beautful.
DAVID A: Kids got a nice voice, so young but. I don't really like him, well we both are indifferent to him except the farnsy. His age shows so much however a decent effort.
KRISTY: Better than some of her performances though I give this a lower score than last time, I've stopped being nice and giving them 1's for effort. Her voice is irritating... get it off! It come to my house I kill it.
SYESHA: Hmm, she's again so predictable but I guess she does have a nice voice. However it really isn't anything much spesh, so many others she is like.
MICHAEL: Scrumpcious. Beautiful, best of the night!
Overall my highlights were definetly Michael, Carly, I stupidly gave ome people higher score than what they deserve, maybe because I know William will be mean and score them lower than they deserve, or maybe I'm just drunk from these Tequila shots. Other standouts include Brooke and David C. But fucken wasn't Michael awesome!
Kristy Lee to go. Klitsy Pee Puke down the drain.

Recipe Number One
Heylo people, we've decided that once a while, just like our sudokus and album/movie reviews, we're goign to post a new recipe for you to cook and enjoy for yourself! We'll also post little anecdotes about where we learned the recipe!
!FRENCH TOAST!
Ingredients;
2 eggs,
1/4-1/2 of milk depending
bread
butter
Utensils;
Bowl
egg whisk or fork
frying pan
spatula
Firstly you crack open your two eggs into your bowl. A handly little tip and something William always does is first you rub the egg between your two hands, be careful though you don't want to drop or crakc it too early, then you roll it back and forth under one hand for a tick before crack the egg in a clockwise motion around the edge of the bowl. This loosens the shell a tad and if done right is guaranteed to give you a perfect cracking every time!
Once your two eggs are in the bowl, mix the eggs in and whisk till it is a frothy egg nog type liquid with bubbles on top.
Grab your bread (presliced works best) and drown each slice of bread one at a time into your mixture then place on the frying pan which by now you would had placed a teaspoon or more of butter on and is on medium high.
Each time you place your bread on the frying pan tilt the pan a tad to let the melted butter get around the pan, and never mind the stringy bits extending from the bread, they are the best bits.
Fry each side till it's golden brown then serve hot with salt.
Also works with a variety of things such as syrus or castor sugar... salt works best tho. Orange juice served on the side makes this a perfect breakky treat and hangover cure! The more eggs and milk the more people it serves!
William first found this recipe when we was 7 years old and was home with Dad, but Dad was on the porch and William was watching Play School inside. They made it on the telly and William, immediately inspired, decided to go to the kitchen to prepare the meal. (Mind you he was cooking maggi 2 minute noodles by 5 and whilst Elisha would grill some crumpets, young farmers are early starters) But anyways that recipe stuck with him and we thanks PLAY SCHOOL for the best hangover cure ever!
And then one night 10 years later we were at some house party in Frankston, Melbourne of this friend of our cousins, and there was a band playing, and for some reason we were talking to the mum and we got onto french toast and she allowed us to make some! But because we cooked AND cleaned up perfectly the mum stood there and told everyone to bugger off so noone would steal our French Toast!
That was an awesome party but an even awesomer occasion to have our cousins friends' mum tell us we can cook french toast while drunk, thank you darl for an AWESOME night!!!!
Love, US.

New Sponsorship Deal
I'm telling ya folks, I should be sponsored by flippin' McDonalds the amount of Big Macs I've eaten this week! 7!!! And that doesn't include the KFC, Hungry Jacks and Subway I had in the meantime, if I wasn't already fat I would say that's what I would become soon enough! But alas, I am fat and no matter how little or much I eat, I keep staying this way. Life can be so sad, my twin sister is quite the spunk rat with the sexy frame, maybe tooooo skinny if you ask me, but there's not much she can do about it so in the meantime we're Fat Cat and Skinny Rat, but boy are those big macs delish!!! Wouldn't trade one for all the mcnuggets in the world!!!
Big Macs have seem to become our new Dominoes... altho we like the pizza cause it's savable for a rainy day, where as ever tried eating a Big Mac after a day? Not Nice At All.
But, here's the thing. Normal Big Macs on thier own leave a horrid after taste that pops up in every burp you do there after...
Pickles and the special sauce don't mix terribly well so it's also good to cancel the pickles, cancel the special sauce and add some of that ketchup! You're then left with a fucking delish tangy treat that fills you up without no after taste!!!!
Fucking special sauce? What's that shit? WHo's ever heard of no Special Sauce? Pfffft.... But try our TwinMac one day, the ketchup is a new taste sensation undermined by the SPECIAL SAUCES!!!
IT'S DELISH!
Love, Willy

Song Choices... Or Lack Thereof...
Heylo,
we really can't be snoogums to write out a list of country songs for the contestants this week for as Bumpkins, we really can' stand the shit. We mean there's a few good songs but when you've grown up with a totally unhealthy dose of Slim Dusty and Lee Kernaghan all your life then you get turned off it once you've got enough money to buy your first cd (Ours was The Tin Lids: 'Snakes And Ladders', good stuff at 7). Nowadays our tastes lie in pretty much everything except rap, country and emo. We even dabble in the Ludwid Van and such. But of course we can't forget the Idol!
So here's a couple of songs that we wouldn't mind hearing sung...
Travelling Soldier by The Dixie Chicks... Gorgeous story, bittersweet melody and sombre lyric... or summat...
Um, ok so that's about the only country song we know or like... any one who brings out the Billy Ray will be shot.
Keith Who?
love, US, WE.
And before we post this, OMG the finale song from Hairspray, 'You can't stop the beat' made it only some stupid Party Starters album, hahahahahahahahahahhhhahahahahahahahahaahhhhahaahaha
Why not no High School Musicspew?

ELISHA DON'T READ THIS!!!
Elisha and I bought a copy of Across The Universe last weekend but as usual we didn't sit down to watch it right away... after waiting for months and months, for some stupid reason we decide to wait even longer. But last night I couldn't sleep and knowing Elisha would prefer me to watch 'Universe' without her over Saw 4 which was the other DVD we bought at the same time. So at 3:30 am I pretty much tripped my way down stairs (bloody mum and her empties) and cuddled up on a recliner, smack bang in the middle of the telly.
Mind you the wait was easy as Julie Taymor, the director, also directed The Lion King on stage and after Elisha and I spent $400 on a day out in town to see it, we cried all night because it was so shit, what a fucking waste of money, time, a trip into the city and professinal theatre!!!
But still, with the Beatles music in her filthy whore hands, and nothing we could do about it and after months of eagerness and trepidation.....
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE 2007 dir. Julie Taymor.
The film opens and immediately a beach somewhere and some guy, a cute guy none the less and our main antangonist, Jude, how quaint, sings about his sweetheart. Now I have two problems with this, 1. It sounds like the opening of Moulin Rouge, a guy who sounds like Ewan McGregor singing about his somewhat fated romance, in our opening narration.... and 2. HE SOUNDS LIKE EWAN MCGREGOR AND WHO IS HE??? Ok having a paper thin voice is good and all for Gerard Butler, Ewan McGregor, Johnny Depp or John Travolta, but they have names attachted to them, Travolta even flies for Qantas!!!! B ut in all seriousness if you are going to cast an unknown to lead your Beatles film, at least have him sound original with a strong voice...but I can't dwell too long then things shift, some waves crash and it feels like Pink Floyds 'The Wall', an unexplained opening montage to 'Helter Skelter' (one of my faves) which cleverly but disappoitingly uses waves of an ocean overlapping with newpapers, war protests and police, this sets it up for things to get kooky. But this montage is however unexplained and it leads us to a disco or prom somewhere in the 50's or 60's maybe possibly 70s, see things are pretty unexplained... now we move onto a punk or rock club which I'm guessing is in the UK but would be 70s or 80s. Then our cute boy who we can call Jude Mcgregor and the chicky from the disco, both kiss thier respective honeys... oh I get it, they are the two who will hook up across the proverbial universe... We find out he's goign into the navy... and will send 'All his Lovin' to his sweetums.
See, more Ewan McGregor! Oh Jude!
Now the blonde chicky which we guess is American, sends her brother off to war... but wierdly enough the Army truck drives past a high school where a bassline starts... ooh who's this ethic chicky singing 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'??? This is beautiful? I'm swept away by the music, the composition, the singing, the lyric, her bittersweet tale of her love for a fellow cheerleader chicky, NOW I'm enjoying this movie!
The story that follows is fairly paper thin, it resembles Hair, Rent and The Wall at the best of times, and other moments are just messy. For a good part of it the new orchestrations work.
I said it before about Jim Sturgess' resemblence to Ewan McGregor but he indeed ends up carrying his own. Evan Rachel Wood was surprising and Dana Fuchs a delight. T.V. Carpio was the standout however with not NEARLY enough screentime.
Joe Cocker's little cameo was awesome and surprising and definetly a standout on the cameo front, others include Salma Heyak and Bono.
The 'I Want You' number played out with scary ass looking army peoples followed through to carrying the statue of liberty through little 'Nam and represents the drafting is a tad hit and miss but it's ideas are cleverly exec uted.
Without going into too much detail (if I tell you anymore of the plot I'll have spoilt it) Julie Taymors take on a 'Beatles rock opera' is somewhat refreshing and somewhat not, like The Lion King broadway musical, Taymor seems pent up on flashy spectacle but can sometimes get caught up in her own ideas and whilst something may look good, like a costume or puppet, sometimes the staging, well often the staging is quite messy.
A fair effort however with some hypnotic songs, kids will love this but it's really Hair and The Wall that it's about.
Ok so I'm really tired now and think I should attempt to fall asleep again,
but overall...
3 and a half stars, good, not great.
