Two idol videos for your viewing pleasure

[jlh]

I know a lot of you are a bit dubious about American Idol, but just do me a favor and watch this video of Blake Lewis and Doug E Fresh. The kid in the red jacket was this year's runner-up.

I cannot wait to hear this kid's record. I have faith that Simon will find him a producer that will keep him from his worst excesses, which is better than having to find someone to actually give him some style.

Behind the cut: So that moment of Rymon staring at 1:44 in Wednesday night's show?

Do yourself a favor and don't listen to the audio. The Rymon stare is at 2:40 (which on this countdown clock is about 1:10) and happens very fast, but you know how I said in HD we'd be able to see Simon? I was so right! Damn that cameraman that passes through the shot.

I missed the Doug E. Fresh bit as I was watching the Lost recap but wow, that was awesome!

There is indeed a look there!! Stupid cameraman.

And, omg, what was wrong with Bette? That is one of my favorite songs by her and she sang it like a early-level contestant.

They said that Bette was a last minute sub for Celine and that she's getting ready for a Vegas stint so maybe she just wasn't quite as ready as she thought she was. She suffers because we've all heard that song at a billion commencements, etc.

I love that everyone is seeing The Look because sometimes I wonder if I'm actually crazy. Then I remember that my fandom doesn't need manips because these two are all over each other all the time.
