Bret Michaels On American Idol Video | Ill Singer Appears With Casey James In Final

Posted: 27 May 2010 12:09 PM PDT

Bret Michaels appeared in the final of American Idol last night, just a month after almost dying. Brave, or stupid?

Bret Michaels hasn’t had a good time of it lately. The former lead singer of Poison was last month hospitalized after suffering a potentially fatal brain hemorrhage.

He’s also suffered a stroke, and is set to have an operation to fix a hole in his heart.

Wow. That’s a lot of crap to happen at once. But Michaels hasn’t let it hold him back.

He walked on stage during the American Idol final last night, assisting Casey James to sing Every Rose Has Its Thorn. And Michaels didn’t even tell his doctors he was going to appear. Good on him, I guess.

4 Year-Old ‘Suicide Jump’ Saved By Store Owner (Video) | Where Are The Parents?

Posted: 27 May 2010 09:15 AM PDT

At first, it’s hard to tell how bad of a fall this would have been. But as the other camera angles show, this could have been a fatal disaster had a store owner not seen the kid in time.

I’ll I’ve got to wonder is, “Where are the parents?”

It’s a good thing that this man is a good catcher or else the kid in the video wouldn’t be alive today. I know how hard it is to keep track of kids sometimes, but this is unacceptable! How did no one else see the kid wandering up the escalator by himself?

As the camera shows, one of the people on the escalator is blind, but what about everyone else in the mall? It’s sad, but has our world really become this introverted that we can’t help one another?

Larry Platt & William Hung ‘Pants On The Ground’ (Video) | From American Idol Finale

Posted: 27 May 2010 04:06 AM PDT

Of all the performances on the American Idol finale last night, the one that really got me was “Pants On The Ground” with General Larry Platt and William Hung.

Feel free to grab some tissues before hitting the play button- this can be an emotional song.

Sure, Simon Cowell will be missed dearly in the next season of American Idol, but the fact that there’s not going to be another “Pants On The Ground” moment in Idol history is even sadder. After his audition went viral on YouTube earlier this year, he popped up everywhere including The View.

And as for the dance seen in this video, I could really see that catching on in clubs today.

Sydney Classical Band Aston Cover Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” Music Video

Posted: 26 May 2010 05:21 PM PDT

Aston is an Australian classical band with a different. While most groups of their ilk are boning up on Vivaldi and Wagner, this Sydney sextet prefers to take on pop tunes from Rihanna and Kylie Minogue.

Here we see these talented musos putting their unique spin on Rihanna’s latest hit “Rude Boy.”

Honestly I felt this track as an R’n'B tune was fair to middling, almost the result of too many songs released from an album pumped out too fast.

But under the capable hands of Aston, it becomes something else, a soaring and intricate ballad that’s really quite beautiful. I can’t wait to see what surprising tune this Sydney group covers next!

Kids Attacking President Obama Video | Because This Obviously Isn’t Scripted

Posted: 26 May 2010 01:09 PM PDT

This video is essentially a compilation of clips showing kids, some very young indeed, criticizing, attacking, and generally hating on U.S. President Obama and his policies.

Madly, some people are taking this video as gospel fact, and using it to prove that Obama is unpopular. Because obviously none of this is scripted or prompted by a right-wing parent standing off camera. Obviously.

Politics blinds some people to the truth. And that is what is happening right now in America. The United States is in trouble, and big, sweeping changes are needed to get the country back on track.

But that’s not pleasing those dyed in the wool dinosaurs who want to carry on as normal in the name of capitalism. And they’re now using their kids as tools in the fight against Obama. How desperate is that?
