06:33: it wouldn't be fair not to write about the girls of american idol after having devoted an entire entry to the boys, now would it? but i don't know their names, so bear with me.
sigh. why isn't aloha still in this competition?
afro girl did good. i feel she should have sung the song in a higher key, but it was good anyway.
freaky little girl, who my friend refers to as gary coleman's sister (my brother objects and argues that gary coleman was cute and she isn't), butchered selena's song. out, i say!
carrie is carrie is carrie. kind of boring song, but still good.
it doesn't matter what vegas showgirl sings, or how she sings it. she's distractingly attractive and people will keep voting for her.
mikalah, with the young-streisand-as-fannie-brice personality. difficult song, specially since she's been having problems with her low notes since the start of the competition. i think the other half that doesn't find her annoying will still vote for her.
now for futbol. leave know if the sport bores you or if you don't want to know the results for some of this week's champion's league matches.
painful that barcelona was beaten by the english blue shirts with the arrogant albeit very effective coach yesterday. still, one of the best football games i've ever seen in my life, that.
real madrid lost to juventus today. management's mistake was to bring in solari, guti and owen too late. if owen had more time with ronaldo still in the game, they would have scored and won on the away goal. the ronaldo send-off hurt madrid more than the tacchi-whatshisface send-off hurt juve. some even argue that ronaldo, being only a retaliator in the incident, should have gotten off with a yellow card, not a red card. he would not have tripped anyone if unprovoked, after all. then madrid has samuel, who keeps making bad challenges and giving away free kicks. bloody idiot never learns.
it's no embarrassment for the spanish teams to be beaten by either team, of course. chelsea is at the top of the premiere league and juve is still in championship contention for serie a. it's just disappointing.
even werder bremen was slaughtered by lyon, 2-10 aggregate. ouch! an 8-goal defeat is crushing.
the delayed game isn't over, but it isn't likely that bayern leverkusen will catch up to liverpool.
i take comfort in knowing ac milan and bayern munich are through.
