Rocco's Pop Revolution: Seen through the eyes of someone living it

Posts Tagged ‘highlights

I know everyone is probably losing their mind over his performance of a new song “Outlaws Of Love”, and the title alone sounds like a Cher number so Big D is a massive fan already, but I’m really, really concerned about his hair.

I’m sure he was having a really great discussion about the song. All I heard was something about the law and acceptance, but I’m really just trying to accept that hair.

I hope you all know we time traveled to 1999. Why isn’t he in a boy band is my biggest question??? And do you think he did that with foil or the cap??

I wasn’t even paying attention to the song, because it was the slowest song of my life. I can’t hear things when it’s at that tempo, it’s like an ear disease I was born with. Seriously. I’m sure it had to do with ass-less chaps because the word “outlaw” is in the title and Cher loves ass-less chaps.

Right? RIGHT!

So much just happened in that title.

1) I added yet another post to the “…Looks Like This Now” series because I’m too lazy to think about actual words.

2) I created a new series “… Is Delusional”

3) I already negated the new series and pulled a flipsie on you! BOO-YAH!

4) And right now, I just time traveled to 1996 and said “Boo- Yah!” No worries.

Let’s look at Zac Efron because he’s not delusional and cute. Perfect traits.

Do I see highlights??? In the name of Oprah and all things holy, please let that be the truth. Once again, we time traveled to the 90′s.

-Rocco

Well, the producers are apologizing, but I still don’t care.

Unless they are apologizing for Ryan Seacrest’s manicure and/or abundance of highlights… I want nothing to do with it.

Just show is some crazy auditions and get on with it.

Nigel Lythgoe just wants to show his face on television.

 

I'm ready for my close up

 

You’re American Idol, not the government… I don’t think you have to apologize for anything. We don’t expect much from you.

Unless, you like killed somebody or have been fixing Idol for the past 9 years. That we should know about… and you should apologize for that.

So, only Ryan Seacrest’s womanly ways, murder, or picking the winner months in advance need apologies… the rest of it is pointless.

Either way… I better not see Nigel on my computer screen.

-Rocco

When I write and do serious work (which I’m obviously not doing because I’m writing this right now. UGH PROCRASTINATION!!) I listen to my iPod on shuffle, and just let that baby play.

I was doing that and The Coors’ “Breathless” came on and I forgot how much I love that song. It came out probably early 2000′s and it’s your typical pop song.

It has such a good melody in the chorus and it’s about love. So duh… I’m on board.

Do you remember that song???

I just felt like I was 14 again. Good times.

And another song that brings me back is Soul Decision “Faded”. This song never fails to make me smile. It’s so cheesy and dumb and the boy singing has some serious highlights. But not gonna lie, I’d flirt with him in a bar… highlights and all!

Did I just lose all credibility by posting those songs?? Shit.

Okay… seriously. Back to work.

This is so super random, but I was looking at all my Facebook pictures (because I’m obsessed with the fun times I have, and I am bored with doing research on pop culture right now) and I came across one from the Good Morning American Summer Concert Series with the American Idol gang.

There were a plethora of pictures taken….and it was such a great and hilarious morning.

I won’t go into the details of it, but I ended up sleeping at my friend’s apartment (even though she lives like 10 feet from me) and we slept about 4 hours, got up ridiculously early (like at 4:30 AM) because apparently we thought the crowds for this were going to be brutal, saw a fun concert and then I got caught in the pouring rain as I ran to work because I was late (I blame this on Lee D.). I had mascara running down my face and my hair turned into a curly, frizzy mess. That’s how wet it was outside… it looked like I just broke up with my boyfriend…. or just got caught in the pouring rain.

So, anyway…. good times. And though you may think this is going into a story about Lee D., sadly it’s not. I adored him then (just as I do now) but this was actually a few weeks before Rocco’s Revolution launched so he wasn’t even Lee bear to me yet, he was just Lee D. I will show a picture though.

I don't know my identity if I'm not Lee bear. Wh- who am I?? *sob*

Anyway, my friend M.E. (name changed to protect the innocent) loved Tim Urban. I know, I know…. I make fun of her too. She was just into him because of his swoop. And probably because of this.

I mean… that slide was pretty fantastic. But what was so much funnier… was his highlights.

Tim Urban had straight up 1998 JC Chasez blonde highlights in his hair. BOY GOT HIS HURR DID!

I have proof of this:

 

Baby BYE BYE BYE!!!

 

Look at that blonde streak glistening in the summer sun.

And you’re probably asking yourself “Rocco… why is Tim Urban and his highlighted head beaming right at you?”

And to that I say…. good question! M.E. and I decided to yell “TIM LOOK AT US!” so she could get a shot like this. Glad he listens so well. And then we proceeded to yell “Nice highlights!!” which may or may not have been appropriate. Probably the latter.

So yeah… that’s my  picture & a story. This should be a weekly installment. I’ll just post a picture and a story. The story could be a lie though. But I swear to Oprah this really happened. I don’t mess around with highlights.

Magical_Lee is being all magical again and sending me mucho things. Por favor!

And I’m going to tell you something that is going to shock you all…. and Lee (because I know you read this like one would read US Weekly) you should probably have a seat!

I ACTUALLY SAW THIS VIDEO!! Yes… by this time in the game, I knew who he was, I could spell his last name correctly, and I wanted him to beat Crystal Bowersox. So when those homecoming videos came in, I took a gander… a peeksie. But I haven’t seen it since whenever this was (March?? April??) so watching this is was like watching it for the first time again. It’s like I’m a born again Lee fan.

1) That man next to him is massive. Like a white Michael Lynch.

2) I can’t decided if I should make fun of the mixing of the brown and black or not. Maybe he’s just being trendy. I’m going to leave this one alone… he’s trying. And I’m glad the hair is out and proud.

3) Lee is frightened because the camera man is Google Earth-ing his house.

 

Ah! Mr. Massive Weather Man knows where I live... does he know Ronald??

(I obviously just love this picture and want to use it as much as possible. I want it on a shirt, that’s how much I adore it.)

 

4) He’s very surprised that it could be pleasant whilst sunny and breezy. But, if he knew anything about meteorology, he would know that those things go hand in hand. Go back to school.

5) “Is this, this evening??” Can you read?? It says ‘tonight’ right above you. *LOL (*wow reading this back, while editing… that sounded so mean. I threw in the LOL, which I hate doing because that means I’m laughing at myself, just so you know I’m kidding. I would never be so mean to Lee D.)

6) Look at him rubbing it in the east coast’s face about him living in Sunny LA. What a jerk! Yes, we get it you are always warm and the sun is just giving you such natural highlights. You should get a tan.

 

Just one squirt of lemon juice does the trick

 

7) I love how he keeps looking over to the Mr. Massive Weather man for approval. ” 69 and sunny. Right??? Right???”

 

Please give me the nod of approval good sir.

 

 

8 ) To make him giggle, just mention thunderstorms. He thinks that’s funny and cute.

 

*he he he* Lighting. Those poor fools... I'll be in Cali!.... CALIFORNIA LOOOOVE! That reminds me... I have to do something???

 

9) Lee bear doesn’t want anything to do with those text books that man handed him. He’s gonna go smoke them.

 

weather books?? Oh gee thanks...

 

 

Yo Mr. Massive Weather Man... wanna hang?? Call me!

( I apologize to you Mr. & Mrs. DeWyze for dragging you into this mess… this is just a good picture because your son is making the universal sign for call me. Kinda. He may be doing a rock on sign??? But that doesn’t work for my purposes. Anyway, blame him.)

 

I just realized…. this is my dream Lee bear. He had at least  3 outfit changes that day and his hair was just all over the place with wonderful-ness. Here, let me show you:

 

Check out my shirt Rocco!

 

Outfit 1: Red shirt brown jacket…. You fancy now huh???

 

hey hey hey Rocco. Costume change sista!

 

Outfit 2: Grey shirt, a hoodie and brown jacket. I could cry with this right now. It’s so beautiful that he listens to me in retrospect, when I never said anything about him publicly.

 

Can we count this as a new outfit??

 

Outfit 3: Yes Lee bear… yes we can. We are going to count this, because you need it. That jersey is technically a new shirt… so congrats that’s 3!

And in all three outfits, the hair is out and messy and he didn’t shave. A+++. I’m speechless.

But then I see this and remember where we are at now:

hehehhe what night is this from?? Can you guess??

 

No. No, we can not guess what night this is from Lee D. I can say any night from December 2nd  through December 20th and I’d be correct.

 

Ughhh she's gonna kill me.

 

Just think about that Lee bear… wrap that around noggin.

For a second, I honestly couldn’t tell (between the middle two) which one was Jennifer Lopez and which one was Steven Tyler. It took me a second. And I have my contacts in so, it’s not like it’s my impaired vision that is the problem.

I’m going to say it’s the body language and highlights on both of them that were the cause of confusion.

Nice tan mary jane shoes Steven Tyler.

-Rocco

I mean that’s the only logical answer to this. I’m not delusional one bit.

I recently discussed my views on Andrew Garcia and my fake boyfriend Bruno Mars being brothas from otha mothas! You can read all my extremely scientific proof HERE

So, Andrew clearly has nothing better to do than read this blog and has decided to perform a Bruno Mars song (“Grenade”) in honor of me. This all went down at a little American Idol reunion with Tim Urban and Didi whose last name I can’t recall.

I’m going to take this as us (me and you, Andrew) being fans of one another …. hope that’s okay. Give me a bit to think of an awesome nick name for you. It will come.

And while we are on the topic of this certain show… why were all these people together?? I don’t get it. And when did Didi, whose last name I can’t remember, stop being annoying. I didn’t/don’t have the immediate reaction to mute her.

And I’m not going to post the Tim Urban videos because he still kind of annoys me…. but I’m glad it kinda sorta looks like he got a haircut. Or maybe he just brushed the hair out of his face because he couldn’t see through his highlighted swoop bang. Don’t think I forgot for one second about your JC Chasez 1999 highlights Timothy… you completely distracted me, and ruined my GMA experience of seeing Lee D. for the first time.

Stop modeling Tim! I promise Tyra wasn't in Central Park that day

New haircut??? Or just a headband?

But what doesn’t annoy me is this fantastic move…

And only slightly related to this post, that went from Andrew Garcia doing a Bruno Mars cover to why Tim Urban ruined my free concert in Central Park, I bring you to this…..

In my attempt to make a power couple joke about Lee D. and Andrew G. with this picture

Peace out Donald Duck!

I accidentally found this picture:

When did these 3 have a sleep over!?!?!? I had no idea my favorite mullet, Andrew who needs a nick name asap, and Lee bear were bros! Look at them just straight bro-ing out! This is fantastic….. and that mullet is clearly the star of that picture.

The internet has been teaching me so many things lately.

-Rocco

Lee D. stopped by Chicago radio station Fresh 105.9 and chatted about Christmas. Here is the VIDEO.

This is the closest picture I could find to a santa hat. Doesn't everyone have at least ONE picture with a santa hat?? It's going on my interview question list, which is quickly turning into a very demanding photo shoot for the poor guy

Many things ran through my mind while I watched this and lucky you get to read them (by choice though… I would never force anyone to read this. If peer pressure didn’t work on my friends, it definitely won’t work on people who have never seen my charming smile)

1) Why in the world is he standing?? I wish he would sit down…. he’s making me nervous. And she is standing too. They both need to kick back and relax.

2) I bet he is good at winter sports (I.E. snowboarding, skiing, hockey, luging.. probably luging) because no one really enjoys the snow or cold, unless of course you live for the Winter Olympics.

Don’t get me wrong, the first snowfall is beautiful… when everything is actually white. But then muddy shoes, truck tires, and dog piss get involved and it just gets dirty. (Not a fan of the snow now are ya Lee bear??)

3) I bet he watches Christmas movies and totally thinks (even just for a second) that Santa may in fact be legit. (Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause anyone??) Because I know I do. But, maybe that is just me.

4) He totally had frosted tips when he was in high school. I would bet money on it. (That was just a random thought and had nothing to do with this interview)

5) Someone got a perfect score on their SAT’s…. nice analogy between steak and music. We were all on the same page.

6) Please, ask him one more time about American Idol circa 2011.

7) Love that he indirectly said Nigel Lythgoe sucks. But as politely as possible… guy could run for President.

8 ) Love that he just uttered the words Justin Bieber. That friendship is clearly blossoming.

Lee I need a hair cut

Let me get my scissors kid

Good interview. Good times.
