This Super Bowl commercial was a little strange, the girl dances like a mix between the Michael Jackson Thriller moves and Paula Abdul in her Straight Up music video. I liked this one, but I think that might only be because I enjoy Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Try not to tar and feather me on that one, I know there are some people out there who still like his music even if he is a sicko.

Is it possible that gecko bits are over done with Geico?

American Idol came back Monday night and so far is full of talent, and then some.

I happened to catch the first episode, and I have to say, there were some impressive people on there.

But, amongst the talented there are those who do it for sheer comic factor. The ‘bikini man,’ Ben Haar [or should we say Hair?], who comes out in a sort of genie outfit, with his hairy chest in the way Paula sends him to get a wax. He later shows back up completely hair free, and gets a total of 20 seconds of face time with the judges.

Then on Wednesday night, Renaldo Lapuz showed up. Lets just say, his pimp outfit or whatever he was doing, is superb. His singing on the other hand, is not. He wrote his own song titled “We’re brothers forever,” dedicating it to the judges [mostly Simon though].

His lyrics are basically we’re brothers forever, and that’s about it. His singing, inspired the judges to get up though, Randy and Paula got up and danced. I must say, Randy sang as good as Lapuz. Also, be sure to check out Paula’s dance moves, she must have dug those up from the days of singing “Straight Up.”

Simon actually was nice to Lapuz when he said no, “Renaldo listen, you are very entertaining, I actually like you, but it’s gonna be a no.” As Lapuz came forward to say his goodbyes Simon got up and gave him a big hug. Although, somehow Lapuz still ended up in tears. Goes to show that Simon can make anyone cry no matter his attitude towards them, Simon, you little heart breaker you.
