Idol conversation

An email exchange between myself and undisclosed recipients (UR):

UR:  where do you find out what type of music/who the celeb pimp is this week?

Me:  It's Mariah Carey.  Got that from our DirectTV info.

UR:    Oh my god! Do they have to sing a Mariah Carey song or just put up
with her being their teacher? I can't think of how David Cook would do a
Mariah Carey song. That would be frightening.

Me:  According to DirectTV:
"The seven finalists compete, performing songs by Mariah Carey." 
 I think maybe it was supposed to say "The finalists will compete, 
singing all seven of Mariah Carey's songs."  Or did she even have that
many?
Agreed, David Cook as Mariah Carey will be frightening.  
God I wish Amanda Overmyer was still on.  This would so be her thing.

WHAT??!!

Can someone please tell me how Michael Johns got voted off American Idol, and f'ing Kristi Lee Cook is still sitting her bad singing, leg thrusting, hand sticking out, sorry ass on that couch? How?? Is that what this country has come to? This is my first season watching, and I realize I must not really understand this, cuz there's a couple of people left there that should been long gone. Long, long gone. I have never voted for an Idol...never really thought it was necessary. And I will regret it for the rest of my days. Or at least this week. Because I'm totally sure my one vote would have kept him on. Or is it five you're allowed?
And if I ever see Kristi Lee Cook, I'm gong to kick that leg out from underneath her. And hope she lands right on that sticking out hand.

My Aussie hottie is gone. What a sad, sad, night. Maybe he'll go make an album of Queen cover songs. That would make this all better.

I love you Michael Johns. I will miss you more than you know.
And to my darling Benny, who grabbed my hand when they announced the results, and said, with total sincerity, "I'm sorry,"... I love you more.

I think I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now.
