Hi! My name is Kerri-Lee Halkett, an anchor at Philadelphia's FOX 29. When the station asked me to do a daily blog, and run my own website, I stopped in my tracks-- sure, but how? I went to "Geek School" as my web department called it, and learned fast, and guess what? It's a lot of fun! I've met bloggers from all over, and many even contribute to the site-- like Johnny Goodtimes, and HOTT Nanny. Other bloggers stop by and leave their mark in the comments section, why not become one yourself? Come by often, the site is always open and changing... check it out!-- Kerri-Lee Halkett

SHAIKENS IDOL Play by Play

Wow, Dolly Parton is still lookin’ perky these days. I thought she’d be close to a wheelchair by now. (Sorry DP, I guess I’m just blown away at how vibrant you still are).

First up, BROOKE:
I loved her song choice… “Jolene” might be the only Dolly Parton song I actually like. Wow, she did really flippin’ good. The judges didn’t like it… but I did… that’s what matters, right? I thought it was awesome.

Next, DAVID COOK:
I liked this a lot… would have never known this was a Dolly jam… and that’s the first time I’ve heard his voice go that high. It sounded good. He also got a hair cut. He looks a bit different.. hmm… Judges pretty much liked it.

RAMIELE:
The girl’s got a great voice, but she’s just not that great of a performer. It kind of reminded me of a talent show. I like to see her though, she’s so cute.

Man, they just played the best QUIZNO’s SAMMIES commercial ever, by the way.

J CASTRO:
I just love his voice. He is someone I could listen to a lot in the background, ya know? I liked this song choice for him too. Judging by his crazy fan mail, he won’t be going home soon. Wow, I loved the end of this. Simon hated it, which is weird, I liked this style for him.

CARLY:
Girlfriend, you just gotta stop choosing slow songs. Even though it was incredible, as always. Not sure if she has as many fans as she should… And by the way, I think she looks good and her style isn’t as bad as KLC.

QUOTE JUST NOW FROM MOM: “I just did not like that girl who looked like a skunk.” [speaking of overmyer, clearly]

DAVID A:
The first to get an on-screen hug from Dolly… And, he did awesome. Of course. I feel so bad for the kid, apparently he has the “stage dad from hëll”

KLC:
Wow, girl, what are you wearing??! Just wondering… Anyway, I didn’t hear anything wrong with her voice, it was good, just… typical. Hmmm.

HEY VANNA WHITE! Wow that was fun. Good to see ya girl.

SYESHA:
Ugh, another slow one. Come on girl, I wanna break it down and bust some moves and I just CAN’T when you sing these slow songs. DANG GIRL, that was the longest note I’ve ever heard. I can’t believe she even attempted to be Whitney-ish… Not sure if it worked, but you know. Whatever.

M JOHNS:
Wow, I really loved this. This song is perfect for his voice. Maybe I just like the song, but in my opinion, he topped D COOK tonight!!

So… who’s getting my votes tonight? I don’t know… more like, who ISN’T.

MY PREDICTION FOR TOMORROW NIGHT’S RESULT SHOW:
I think the bottom 3 will be SYESHA, RAMIELE, and KLC.

I think its time for KLC to say goodbye, and I think that is probably who will go.
If it isn’t her, then my next guess is RAMIELE. And my last guess would be SYESHA.

MY HOTTIE PICK OF THE WEEK….
It’s a TIE between J CASTRO and M JOHNS… They were both so good to me.

And BROOKE comes in 3rd place.

    Yeah, but there’d be plenty of people willing to give her “mouth to whatever they could get aholt of” resucitation.

    Im not sure what blog Im commenting on ….

    or if the comments pertain to said blog ….

    I said “barrel” at the end of some posts and when I tried to do it again, I got a message that said, “duplicate comment - you already said that” .

    I guess we’re in the 21st century, mon ami.

  26. Speaking of Shaikens and her blogs JT I heard - or shall I say read someplace that you made it as a VIP on HER blog …

    remember the days when you and I tried like hëll to get Michelle Williams and a few others blog going?

    Well my friend YOU kept typing away and now look at you - a VIP on this blog AND a VIP on another :)

    I would think maybe they could get creative and have the server spit out something like …

    *WARNING! WARNING! EXPERIENCING DEJA VU WARNING! WARNING!*

    instead of tha comment

    I remember trying to light a fire under Robin Taylor’s blog.

    Michelle Williams replied to me a couple of times on her blog recently.
    She’s been doing a lot of “consumer reports” stuff lately.
    I was trying to encourage her.
    I posted “keep kicking butt, Michelle, and if your leg gets tired, call me.”
    And what I meant was, if her leg got tired, I would step into the breach, and kick some butt in her stead.
    But, I think it got interpreted that I was offering to massage her leg.
    So, that kinda put the kibosh on that.

    First of all, there is NO ORDER to my VIP list. The ones at the bottom are the first ones I put on there… so, that means the ones at the time are the more recent.
    Sorry to ruin your ego battle. The love is equal.
    Jack, glad you’re back. Watch your mouth this time, cowboy.

  57. Comment by shaikens on 4 April 2008:

    Jack, glad you’re back. Watch your mouth this time, cowboy.

    Thank you Shaikens - it’s always nice to be missed …

    especially when bullets are flying …

    And for the record … I did not warrent a ban :)

  58. Shaikens, the Jack and JT volleys can be classic. It doesn’t happen often, but on KL’s blog the back and forth posts between them can go into the hundreds.

    Hope you all have a great weekend!
