So... the Rolling Stones and the Kinks too obscure for ya? How can you be "extremely into 60s music" and not know the Zombies, Gerry & the Pacemakers or Shirley freaking BASSEY? Knowing the Beatles and Van Morrison doesn't make you cutting edge. It makes you painfully mainstream. And the ignorance about Lulu and Peter Noone... the world's completely going to hell in a handbasket. This is my biggest problem with Idol. The contestants blather on about how "music is my life" and then they have no musical education whatsoever.

Hey Jon, I love these posts of yours because they actually give me a reason to continue watching AI, even when Sanjaya gives me every reason to not watch it... but, as a bit of constructive criticism, can we *not* have a large picture of you on every single one of your posts?

I know you're the hot new celebrity blogger here at TV Squad and I haven't said anything for a while now, but it's starting to become a bit much.

Ok, I guess there really was no polite way to say that, lol. Maybe just shake your publicity photos up every other post or so...

Still, keep up with the great content!

Apparently Kay is another of those music snobs that feel that their generation of music is the bestest ever and everyone should know everything about it. Personally I'm not a big fan of a lot of 60's music, but thanks to some great singing and great arrangements this week I was very entertained. I know Peter Noone and his peppiness. LuLu I did not know other than by name, but I thought she and Olivia Newton John could be sisters.

It's truly amazing what you don't know about 60's music, Jon. D-list? What a clown.

Go Away Already.

This Sanjaya thing is getting out of control. Adult language here but funny.

Herman's Hermits was pretty darn big in the mid-1960's. Lulu had a hugh hit in 1967. Five weeks at #1. I'm not sure they are D-list. They are just not really big in 2007. Most of the songs were recognizable British Invasion songs. If Jon would of pointed out that "Diamonds are Forever" was not a British Invasion song but instead a rather lame 1970 James Bond movie theme song I would of been more impressed by his blog. And Kira, Jon opened the door to being critized when he said he was extremely into '60s music but showed limited knowledge.

Where the judges even on the results show this week? I dont remember Ryan introducing them, and they didnt cut to them at all the whole night, or ask their opinion on Stephanie's ousting. It seemed odd, as if the judges were given a break this week.

I'm with Jon. That dude on idol the other night? no idea who he was. Then he sang, and I was like, "dammit, it's that song from Walgreens."

You thought those songs were D-list 60's tunes and in the same breath bleat that you are really into 60's music? There was more to the music of the 60's than the latter part of the decade, surprise, surprise.

Kira, btw, it has nothing to do with thinking that the music of the decade was the ummm..."bestest." I personally believe the decade did have some of the best, but the point was that Jon Peter Lewis shouldn't boast of his prowess regarding 60's music and then declare that the songs that were sung were some sort of D-list concoction because he, the expert, hadn't heard of them.

Those songs were a number of years before my time, but I had heard of all of them because I had older siblings. I wasn't around for big band music either, but can identify many famous tunes because I had parents of that era. People are either intellectually curious about the world beyond their noses or they aren't. Or they just pretened to be.

YOU wanna talk about D-List? YOU were the SANJAYA of your season! You and John Stevens, naturally.

Whats his name with the bald head name is PHIL! Just to remind you Jon. I'm going to have to give you a spanking when I see you.

ohhh Jon, you should of asked your Dad who Noone and Lula are. I betcha he would have told you how revelant they were during their era. To Sir with love, the song Lulu sang is incredibly well known to the older folks. This all brings me to the question, are you trying to piss off a few people on purpose???I find it hard to understand why you would, well, insult people who are just trying to do their best. It just didn't seem your style before. What happened?

I read John's comment and was ready to rant and rave - instead I'll thank Dawn, Jeff and Kay - I can appreciate every generation having their own music but then don't expose a love of the 60's - and then be clueless - Granted they are not the best of the 60's - but they've had successful careers - Keep plugging John -Yours might catch on fire yet !

I too am disappointed with season 6. I hope Fox is investigating to make sure the phone numbers are not being diverted like voting for number 5 and having vote for number 8 for example. Remember what happened to Chris Daughty last year. We could not get through all two hours. With the hackers today who knows???????

I forget most of their names after they are voted off, hell I didn't even know who you were, haha. We could ask the same question of TV Squad, what are they thinking letting a D lister from the show write a blog about it but I guess some people wouldn't agree.

Anyway, you seem to have no clue what your talking about and it reads like a case of sour grapes. Make yourself like one of Peter Noone's band and become a Hermit, hahahaha.

> "Then, some lady, who looked smoking hot for a 60-year-old, sang some unknown song."

To Sir With Love is an unknown song?

I'd call you a has-been, but you're a never were. Pull your head out of your ass.
