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

Posts Tagged ‘James Durbin

It’s about time P^2 took some shine away from our homeboy Heej.

Nice thumbs.

Anyway, P^2 did an interview with Colton Dixon….

….(which by the way, would be the offspring if Adam Lambert decided to have a baby with James Durbin. True story, so Durbin can calm down with the ‘standing on the piano was his thing’ idea.) and he kept saying the word “thrust” a lot and was clearly trying to take the wheel from Heejun with the Funny Mazda. <– only car I could think of at 7:50 AM)

This is all gonna be super out of context, but deal with it:

This is a weird situation you guys have been thrust into, how are you dealing?
Phillip Phillips: 
It was a big thrust. A weird, fast thrust. I’m so tired. But it’s been fun. We’ve had to make fun out of the thrust. 

It sounds like you guys got kidnapped.
C:
 That’s what it felt like!

P: They blindfolded us and thrusted us into the van.

You guys are singing Stevie Wonder this week. How did you choose your songs?
P:
 I said, ‘Huh, I’m gonna do that song,’ and then I said ‘Alright guys, this is how the song’s gonna go.’ They said ‘Alright man,’ and then we got onstage and did it.

Are you putting your own spin on it like you’ve been doing throughout the competition?
P:
 Yes, yes I am. Hopefully people will like it. If they do, that’s good, if they don’t, that’s okay.

C: Phil’s kind of the diva of “American Idol.”

Really?
C: 
I’m just kidding. [Laughs] For me, I didn’t listen to a lot of Stevie growing up – 

P: [coughs] lame!
C: – so I really had to listen to his catalog and see what he had and what would fit me and what I could do with what fit me, and it was hard. This week’s been a challenge for me but I think I pulled one out.
P: This is probably the hardest thrust for you, right? So far?
C: Yeah, this has been the hardest week for me, for sure. [Laughs]

How is the pressure this week now that you’re officially in the finals?
C:
 Honestly, I think the pressure this week is harder not only [because] we’re in the Top 13, but [also] not knowing a lot of Stevie stuff, I just want to do it justice. But you also have to throw your own style into it, so it’s a balancing act. You’ve got to make sure you don’t change it too much and you’ve just got to appreciate what he’s already done. So it’s been rough this week, it has.

P: You’ve got to really think about what song you want to do. Sometimes it’ll aggravate you but it’ll come to you and it’ll hit you, and I think it’s going to be a good week.

Who have you gotten closest to in the competition?
C:
 Not Phillip.

P: Not Colton. Probably Heejun [Han]. We’re all really close. Not Colton though.
C: My roommate’s Jeremy Rosado and we’re both Christian, so it’s been really really cool. We get to do devotions together and everything. But yeah, it’s not Phillip.
P: Why don’t you get a little closer to the recorder, dude?
C: Nah, they can hear me just fine.
P: I’m glad they can’t see me punching you, though. [Fake punches Colton in the face.]


Okay… he didn’t say “thrust” as many times as I thought and it was a lot funny at 1 in the morning, but notice how Colton can’t be funny or say “thrust” because he loves Jesus a lot.

Does he think Jesus did not “thrust”??

Oh I thrust!

My live feed better work for Idol tonight. Tune into the Revolution at 8PM for a live-ish blog that will hopefully go down.

Remember when 5 minutes ago I said that to find love you need to go on American Idol, but only had one example???

Well, fellow Revolution-er Sassycatz just hit me with some info about another love connection!!

Apparently, my favorite Mucinex endorser Haley Reinhart and my favorite person who I forgot about, Stefano Langone, are doing it.

hehe *phlegm* sorry Casey

Word on the street is these two went to James Durbin’s wedding together and James Durbin said they were dating and I trust James Durbin because people with Tourette’s always tell the truth and I’m pretty sure a doctor told me that.

They make a cute couple… I support this. But I do feel bad for Casey Abrams. I hope his stomach doesn’t explode over this.

I need the love of my double bass

PS Thanks Sassycatz for the tip!

-Rocco

I didn’t go see the American Idol concert because to be frank… I don’t want to waste the money on those people. Casey Abrams is probably banging Haley (who still needs mucinex) and P Mac is milking the cows with Nikki Reed. My money can be spent elsewhere as far as I’m concerned.

Plus, Oscar doesn’t like large crowds and I wouldn’t dream of going to see the Idol show with anyone else.

ever since ostrich puberty.... I can't stand crowds

Rachel, who writes another pop culture blog Goat In A Kitchen, went to the concert and wrote a great review. She’s very witty (and way more sane than me) and I recommend you read this review (HERE) because you will learn some shit.

Things I learned:

- Win Miss New York Pre-Teen NATURAL pageant and people will give me upgraded tickets and interviews (ya hear that Lee D?!?!?) …… I know I’m 24 but I’m working on getting my idea chalked so it says I’m 10. It will work out.

- Stefano needs to keep his goddamn clothes on.  I don’t know who told this kid he was Usher or J Timb, but they need to be shot. Maybe by the guy who shot himself. 

 

- P Mac is the worst dancer ever. So good luck in bed Nikki Reed.

-James Durbin is really popular (who knew??) and Jacob Lusk still is super gay and super in love with Jesus and he clearly has no idea that is a contradiction in that religion.

- I still need to win a pre-teen pageant DAMN IT!!

- People consider bringing scissors to concerts. And by people I mean, crazy ladies.

- Casey Abrams let’s people touch his beard. All of a sudden Oscar wishes he doesn’t have a fear of crowds.

- WHEN WILL MY ID BE READY FOR MY PRE-TEEN PAGEANT!!!!!

If you read all that and have no idea what I’m talking about, you need to click HERE and read Rachel’s review now.

I don’t really know why someone let him out of the house looking like this. I could care less about this American Idol season 10 tour but I want to see James’ outfits because you know this guy has all sorts of ensembles planned.

Maybe he’ll have this in multiple colors…. I can only hope.

Really James??? REALLY?!? You are officially the worst dressed man.

-Rocco

PS Thank you to LiveMusicFan11 for showing me this picture and allowing me to cast judgement on it.

This has got to be my least favorite song on this planet (only second to Len’s “Steal My Sunshine”) but I’m so glad they forced the boys to sing it with other Tom Jones gems sprinkled in with some Prince.

PAUL MCDONALD!!! How I’ve missed you and your teeth and your charm!!! He’s so good looking.

And James Durbin singing “what’s new pussy cat??” LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO!!!!

Don’t even tell me this isn’t the best finale… EVER! It was like one big punchline.

And I’m not even going to get into Jacob’s little solo. You all know my feelings on this cheerleader. I’m a little sad we didn’t see any of his moves.

Annnnnnd once again Casey is the most entertaining person ever and he flirted with Scotty Playa Playa… my new dream in life.

That was just so silly. Did Tom Jones come out?? I can’t find that video and missed the performance live. I don’t really care because once again, hearing James Durbin sing “pussy cat” is all I need to get by.

-Rocco

She kinda looked like James Durbin in that outfit. He must have been going for that Lady Gaga look with his Judas Priest number.

I’m a little sad she didn’t sing “JUDAH JU DAH DAH JUDAS” because I thought this was a bible belt themed American Idol and that would have fit perfectly.

You all hate Nigel for many reasons… but he should learn to produce a themed show. Just saying. “Judas” would have fit into perfectly.

Oh and Lady Gaga was literally on the edge of her little faux cliff… really glad she didn’t fall during her “dance number”,

-Rocco

He was straight up judging. And I have evidence of this.

I don’t even want to get into how ridiculous James looks (if you passed me on the street you would know that I’ve never heard a Judas Priest song in my life. Listening to that would be like water boarding me… I’d give up anybody and anything in about 5 seconds) but if you take a gander at Lee D. ‘s face, he’s very confused.

I’m pretty sure he’s about to burst into laughter. Annnnnnd that’s why Lee D. is better than James Durbin because Lee D knows not to look like that in public. With that being said… James Durbin should join the army and refuse to wear anything but that…. because we could use that little spice!

I have some more evidence of Lee D having the best night of his life…

The last time I looked as happy as Lee I was  just told my dig died.

Lee D was definitely getting ready to throw something at Ryan… I hope it didn’t ruin that sweet tux.

-Rocco

Forget Talk Real Slow…. she sounds like she’s rapping like Busta Rhymes compared to this guy.

JAMES DURBIN TALKS SOOOOOOO SLOW!! I can’t even explain to you how I wanted to hang up on him because I was on the edge of my seat wanting him to just spit the words out. It drove me banana sandwich!!

He did not talk as fast as the GIF above suggests. In fact, he made me feel like I was on speed. SO SLOW!!

This is what I learned about the Durbinator during the conference call. (This version is sprinkled with funny pictures and this version (HERE) is sprinkled with complete sentences. Read both.)

1) He has social awkwardness (he said that not me, so put your red pen used for hate mail down!) and he better not blame it on Tourette’s. I think it’s because he talks so goddamn slow no one wants to listen to him.

not awkward. I just get this close to talk to people.

2) He took about 5 minutes to say he wanted to play himself in a movie which I believe is called nepotism.

I rock!

3) And then he decided Matt Damon will play him and Steven Segal will play the older version of him. Because ethnicity changes as you get older, didn’t you know??

4) He’s obsessed with Stefano. He confirmed Stefano will be his best man and Paul is a groomsman. I will obviously live blog this wedding because I will be Paul’s date. See you there.

Rocco, will you go to James' wedding with me??

(What a ridiculous photograph. That is hilarious)

5) Oh and he’s definitely stalking Chris Jericho. He loves him so much he’d throw Stefano in front of a car to walk side by side with Chris Jericho. He didn’t say that, but I can read between the lines.

besties!

Good times.

I can’t get over how slow he talked… it was astounding to me the amount of time it took him to get a sentence out. I apologize if either recap is incoherent… I’m proud that I wasn’t in the fetal position rocking back and forth due to the anxiety the speed of his speech gave me.

-Rocco

He clearly hates Haley.

It’s amazing how apathetic I am to the whole show at this point. I could care less who gets voted off. It’s always a win-win for good material in my eyes.

Scenario 1: If Haley got the boot, we wouldn’t have to hear her sing anymore and I could go back to doing my impressions of her for money without the possibility of getting sued. I have to hold off on that extra income for another week.

Scenario 2 (which is the case): Haley is around for another week and you know chick is going to mess up 1 of her 3 songs and the judges will hate her and she’ll get the bitch face on. Her left eye will be full or rage and her right eye will be full of murder.

You know who else has rage in his eyes??? James Durbin.

Umm??? Just one thing. James…. you didn’t do anything spectacular on that stage. You were pretty much a straight Adam Lambert, so just take it down a few steps there homeslice.

This conversation between me and Devy Wevy Bevy happened last night via text:

Dev: So much drama on Idol. This kid needs to take to relax.
Rocco: YOU ARE NOT WATCHING IDOL BY YOURSELF?!?!? HHAHAHA
Dev: No. I’m watching Bones.

Why aren't you watching idol??

Anyway, relax Durbin. You did not do “so much stuff that’s never been done before”.  VIVA LA METAL!

I hope he gets into wrestling.

(Again, respect the screen caps)

-Rocco

I’m just going to assume that she’ll give great advice. I mean, from someone who looks like this… how could ya not get the best advice??

definitely cover your face friends!

I’m ready to trade in any therapist for a sit down with that lady above. This shall be fun!

JU-DAH JUDAS! JU-DAH!

Can this opening be any more dramatic??? They should probably show more tears. Definitely more tears. My own tears aren’t causing electric shock from falling on my computer, therefore I’m not crying hard enough.

Ryan’s hair gets worse and worse each week. He’s such a nerd all of a sudden.  James totally just tripped over Lauren’s dress. Oh that would have been awesome!

Lady Gaga dressed Haley obviously. And maybe even Lauren.

Lieber & Stoller and inspirational songs and Lady Gaga… I’m going to drink NyQuil right now.

James:

James chooses the most obnoxious song on the planet. And if Glee isn’t singing it… I don’t want any part of it.

I’m so annoyed he’s singing this song. And I’m annoyed he sounds more and more like Adam Lambert.  And I still want to rip that earring out of his ear. That wasn’t even cool in 1996.

Oh let’s talk about Randy Jackson’s glory days some more.

Remember this song was at the end of The Sopranos series?? Well, I want Tony Soprano to shoot me right now. Preferably in the eye… Bin Laden style.

(and don’t even get offended by that because I never make Bin Laden jokes when my whole day calls for them!)

I love how all the judges conveniently have all these projects all of a sudden.

Haley:

Michael Jackson?? Well, that explains the glitter ensemble. It was either Michael or Ke$ha….. which would have went over awesome.

Haley is the last person I need to be taking political and human rights advice from. Just saying.

Haley is pissed I made that awesome Bin Laden joke. I really wish this song wasn’t happening.  Why is she screaming with a loogie in her throat?

Somehow, the gentle creepiness of Michael Jackson makes this song come across better than her beastly singing. And when I rather her a potential pedophile sing…. times are bad. (RIP Michael)

CASEY!!! DATE ME!! He better not be dating… again, I’d rather be shot Bin Laden style (okay I’ll stop with that now)

Randy Jackson hates Haley and Haley hates Randy. Where is the love Justin Timberlake?? Where is the love?

HALEY SHUT UP!!

HALEY YOU AREN’T EMO!! SHUT UP! I wanna slap her. I never hit anyone in my life (minus my sister) but I want to slap that girl.

I wanna write the winners song. I think it would be good.

Scotty Playa Playa:

I’m gonna leave that picture giant because it’s that ridiculous.

JU-DAH JUDAS! JU-DAH! Where's Ga??

Oscar is a huge Lady Gaga fan and whenever we fight he only speaks in Lady Gaga lyrics and trust me, you haven’t lived until an ostrich shouts “i wanna take a ride on your disco stick” at you. It’s disturbing.

If Scotty was a year older and didn’t wear a wooden choker necklace I would want to make out with him. but just like one night in a drunken frat party and only if he continued to say *babylockdemdoors* in between kisses. (That was weird sorry)

He is such a republican!

A guitar?? How many illegitimate kids do you think he has???

Scotty you do the same thing every week and you just sang about Jesus… I don’t think this will ever work out.

What was that song even about?? I feel like it was serious and I shouldn’t make fun of it because I might be stoned to death?? <– I’m so violent tonight. I apologize to Mamadukes who is going to call me afterward to make sure I’m okay.

I kinda want Scotty to win. Is that okay?? I don’t care that he’s boring. Boring people win shit sometimes. It’s happened before on this show… let it happen again.

And J Lo is in love with him.  SELENA HAS SPOKEN!! It’s not busti-ca ca

got my ass squeezed by sexy cupid

Oscar hasn’t stopped.

PAUL AND CASEY!!! this was obviously meant for me! I’m glad they can read.

Lauren:

I know that isn’t Lauren, but I think we should big ups to her Momma. I feel like her Mom is ridiculous and her teased hair doesn’t get enough air time.

I’d probably sing a Taylor Swift song or anything Backstreet Boys. What would you sing??

I like Lauren. Girl is good and not obnoxious like Haley. Plus, she dresses like a Toddler & Tiara’s contestant. Love it.

Steven is obsessed with Lauren and her buckles and her ugly ass dress. Steven wears that when he cross dresses.

Okay so Haley is putting on her bitch face, Lauren thinks she’ll win, James just wants to scream and cry some more, and Scotty has no idea what he’s still doing there and just wants some meat and potatoes.

Oscar has friends over and they are going to help out this live-ish blog.

Haley:

Haley's hair looks like mine and she has the stank eye going on!! OHHHH GIRL!

Haley takes criticism like that Ostrich takes love from a female ostrich, that being real shitty (that ostrich is gay) she needs to calm her shit down! RELAX. People tell me I’m wrong all day long… and I don’t walk around all bitch face. Take it easy homegirl.

Oh I miss the old Gaga so freakin bad. She was so good.

Haley… I LOVE THIS SONG. IF  YOU F**K IT UP… I’ll PUT YOU IN GAGA’S EGG!!

How can they keep a straight face!

Lady Gaga told her to act crazy. Haley is totally one of those girls that could stalk a guy. I mean… I can see her spying, slashing tires, sending dead animals in the mail.

haley has stalked before. it’s official.Gaga just gave her permission to scream. This was way better than the first song… but I still want to slap her soooooooooo who cares??

And now she can smile because the judges aren’t making fun of her.  What bothers me about her is now she’s all happy because now everyone loves her. Sore loser?? yes.

Scotty:

I looooooove scotty. SHOW ME YOUR DISCO STICK or Poker Face?? Or whatever.. AGHH I love you!!

Helen wants to have a bad romance with Scotty. She keeps referring to him as Judas. So strange.

Lady Gaga wants to bang Scotty. I’m down for that courtship. She has no pants on!!! The way Gaga is talking to Scotty is hot.

Kiss your cross?!?!?! Scotty. STOP BEING A REPUBLICAN!!!!

Scotty is out of his mind right now.. I can’t take anything seriously.

SCOTTY IS SLEEPING WITH GAGA!!! Start that rumor please!!

Lauren:

I left my pageant dress at home *tear*

HOLY SHOULDER PADS!!!

Why are these contestants so holier  (holy-er. how do you spell that word?) than thou???  It’s obnoxious.

Lady Gaga hates Lauren.

She looks like a drag queen…. but I like her.  She looks like a moron.

Grandma’s where that in Atlantic city.

James:

Lady Gaga didn't come in her egg.... but she has a piece of ostrich poop on her cheek. just saying.

Mike Stoeller is an adorable old man.

She does have poop on her face!

When Lady Gaga touches James Durbin, he twitched! HAHAH I just cracked myself up.

James… you are not sexy. Just wanted to tell you.

Jimmy Iovine hates his life. He doesn’t know where he went wrong.

I’ve never cared less about a performance. I’m just gonna stop watching it. JAMES YOU ARE NOT ADAM LAMBERT!! Please stop.

Lady Gaga was the best part to this episode and the fact that I’m saying that is sick. I did way too much yelling tonight.

I’d rather watch Bravo.
