Green Room - Week 36 - Day 3

Today is a busy day in Idol-land, so I'll cut right to business:

We had the results of the Quick Fire last night: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/834094.html

and today is the deadline to get in your entry in! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/832879.html

How do you know if you have or not? Because if you haven't - you are being shamed!!! :) http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/834503.html


Tonight is also the deadline for getting in your votes for the Spirit of LJ Idol, Season 9. So far, 6 of the eligible 11 contestants have turned in their ballots. http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/832594.html

For any of those remaining voters - I'm sure you are planning on getting in your votes, and are just thinking about how you want to rank everyone to best reflect your feelings.

If, for some reason, you don't vote - I'll have to turn it over to my dog.

This morning, I asked Foxy who she wanted to vote for - and showed her the list of candidates.

Apparently, the person remaining who best represents what this season has been about is a bunch of lion cubs playing. (on one of her favorite shows: Big Cat Diary)

She was *very* passionate about that choice. It had all of her attention, and she excitedly grabbed her rope and swung it back and forth in between barks.

Now, clearly, a bunch of lion cubs playing is a great choice and will represent Idol well.

But if it's not YOUR choice - you should probably get your ballot in!

What shows make *you* grab your rope and excitedly bark at the screen?

This is a serious. And complicated. Seriously complicated question. I am not savvy enough to think deeply about these sorts of cultural shifts but if you have strong essays, link me, please! Because I love to read the thoughts of others regarding entertainment and Art as entertainment...and Entertainment as Art.

I think YES. Absolutely. I think it already has. The entire phenom of fanfiction is just....astonishing, really. The phenom of cons and how seriously we have begun to take serialized television....

I'm surprised we haven't seen more experimentation with storytelling in prose form. It's all happening on TV.
