Gwen Stefani kills my buzz...

HERE WE GO…

7:59 Intro…

8:00 Ryan introduces Ricky and the band…Teri Hatcher is in the audience with her daughter. I wonder if Ryan spoke to her…Jeff Foxworthy in the house…Ryan polls the audience. Blake seems to have the bigger support at the theater…

8:01 Ryan introduces the judges…Simon looks good tonight…Ryan tells Simon he already looks bored. Simon says it’s because he’s listening to Ryan…

8:02 Ryan talks about the Idols’ busy week and shows footage of their fittings with major designers…Blake and Jordin do “I Saw Her Standing There”…Blake starts of course. He sounds great…They sing together and come to the mini-stage in the audience…They’re having a good time, but Blake might want to ease up on the flirting eyes. She is only 17…Jordin gives Blake a kiss on the cheek. That was really good…

8:04 Ryan goes live to Gwen Stefani “live” on her tour, who does her favorite song on the CD, “Four In the Morning.” Both the intro and segue were bad…This was originally scheduled for the “Idol Gives Back” show…Don’t the producers remember how good last year’s finale was? And all of those performances were in the Kodak. This is kind of a buzz kill…And that sound is awfully pure for a concert, isn’t it?...

8:07 Okay, that was stupid and completely unnecessary. I guess they thought they owed her since they cut her from “Idol Gives Back”…Break
