Pop Culture Yay

Dontcha wish the show were over already?

Well, the end is almost here.

9:04 pm

Asia is here for herself. “Screw the other girls.” Pete thinks Melissa R. is the best all-around contestant.

9:06 pm

Melissa and Chelsea make fun of Asia’s diction. Let the drama begin!!

9:10 commercial break

3 am catfight!! If they weren’t in this competition then “[Asia] would have BEEN smacked [Melissa] in the face.” “YOU’RE a b@#$!” “No, YOU’RE a b@#$!” I’m trying to follow this dialogue while Pete wants to compare/contrast the performance abilities of the three finalists.

9:18 pm

Dolls creator Robin lays down the smack. The 3 am catfight is affecting their vocals, and if Robin had to choose right now, she wouldn’t pick ANY of the finalists.

Commercial break! VMars preview, holla! Pete: “I’ve forgotten what that show’s about.” I offer to re-watch season-3-to-date with him.

(BTW, these updates brought to you by a Toshiba laptop from 1973.)

9:32 pm

The weird pseudo-commercial break gives step-by-step instructions for shaving your legs. Huh?

9:36 pm

Solo performance by Chelsea. Robin digs it. Ron seems to like it ok. Lil Kim’s eyebrows can’t move, so it’s hard to gauge her opinion.

9:39 pm

Asia’s solo is ok. I can’t really hear the judges’ comments because someone in the room is talking.

9:42

Melissa sings “Stick Witchu.” (Is that how you spell it? Is it a capital U?) The judges lurrv Melissa!

9:45

The girls are nervously awaiting the verdict! Time for a group hug! I guess all is forgiven. You can’t hate on someone who called you a phony or a bad mom after you sing “Lady Marmalade” together. I guess “Lady Marmalade” is like the “Kum ba ya” of the CW. Someone’s popping it and locking it, Lord, kum ba ya…

Mmmmm. Bluebell ice cream! Uh-oh, commercial’s over. It’s decision time!

9:51 pm

Robin: Y’all are all awesome, but only one of you will make the cut…Chelsea, you are….out.

It’s down to Asia and Melissa.

Robin: It’s about finding your inner doll.

(Dramatic music)

Congratulations…

ASIA.

Mark McGrath takes Asia’s feather boa…and wears it. Do you need to know what happens after that? They should end the show right there.

OK, what happens after that is that Asia performs with the PCD, and then Asia talks about her family. She says that her mom has always been there for her, and that she can’t wait to tell her baby daughter these inspiring words: “Your mommy’s a freakin’ singer.”

Credits. Best show ever.

  1. The Toshiba in question is from late 2000, thank you very much.

  2. That was probably way more entertaining then watching the actual show.

    Can we for real do a VMars update before the actual show…it has been quite a long time.

  3. As a man approaching his 30s, I’m left with one question from watching tonight’s episode: Can the Honda Ridgeline accept a goose-neck trailer hitch?

    popcultureYAY! Everyone’s on a Satellite!

  4. As a man approaching his 30s, I’m left with one question from watching the live blogging: Can a woman named after the supergroup that brought us the smash hit “Heat of the Moment” have ever been in doubt to win?

    (This comment courtesy of a corporate Dell. Shhh. Don’t tell IT)

  5. bummer, I missed the post informing me of the live update. Good thing I caught the show for myself. You didn’t mention that this was the most difficult decision of Robin’s life. wow. serious. I guess that’s why she cried when she kicked Chelsea to the curb.

  6. Hey, I’ve got a question for you lovely ladies. Do you think Avril kind of ripped off Chase?

    Hey! Hey! You! You! I don’t like your girlfriend!

    Hey! Hey! You! You! I wanna be your boyfriend…

    suspiciously similar if you ask me…

  7. WORD. That is such a good call, Amanda. It took me a second to make the connection, I must admit. Probably because 1) I myself didn’t own the tape (Lindsay did) and 2) we spent more time listening to Coulda Shoulda Woulda and Summer Vacation…Tune in, groove on…bust out. That’ll probably be Avril’s next catchy line…she thinks we don’t remember.

  8. you know I hated chase until he sang that song. for years. hated him. then… oh, goodness. I’m seriously considering putting that song on the wedding mix cd. isn’t retro in?

    Gotta get away from this day to day gotta go out and have some fun.
