Midnight Gem--Why she's still my favorite.

I could write for days about her performance (which I missed live but just caught on YouTube), but to put it bluntly, Christina Aguilera is amazing at the American Music Awards tonight. Who else could perform a seven-minute-long medley of some of her greatest hits, singing and dancing like she didn't just have a baby a year ago?

In general, the AMA's were OK. I really enjoyed the live performances, especially from Mariah, Pink, Beyonce, and (of course) Christina. The awards themselves were pretty blah and uneventful, except I don't understand why Rihanna wasn't even nominated for Artist of the Year.

Anyways, Christina, you're right: you keep gettin' better.

(Almost) Midnight Gem--The Most Horrible Day of My Life

I thought I was the only one! 

The day that David Cook beat my boyfriend (aka David Archuleta) on American Idol is one that will live in infamy... These 11-year old girls have the same reaction that I did.

And who can blame them/me?  I mean, he doesn't even shave!!!  Ha.  

This is truly a gem.

Midnight Gem--Judge Alex: Case of the Eyebrows

This shit is just funny. Two fierce tranny messes and a hot judge.

Midnight Gem--Stylista: Jason Freaks Out

OK, so I don't really remember hearing much about this new show on The CW called Stylista. But I did some research.  The premise is this: eleven hopefuls are given jobs as interns for Elle magazine; each week, they compete in various tasks until one is left.  The winner gets a job with Elle, a fierce apartment in Manhattan, and a shopping spree at H&M.  Interesting...  

Anyways, this clip is great.  One of the gaytestants, Jason, completely freaks out.  He's nervous about his team members ratting him out or something like that...  I don't know the details, but I know that it's amazing.

This is a new "tag" I'm trying out...  It's called "Midnight Gems" and it's clips/news stories/thoughts/etc. that come to me late at night, just before I tuck myself into bed.

This clip is hilarious.  It's from Mad TV and it's a spoof of So You Think You Can Dance?  The clip alone is pretty good, but once Crista Flanagan (as judge Mary Murphy) starts laughing, I couldn't contain myself.  Pretty funny.
