All photos taken from one performance during the finale of American Idol. If you fast-forwarded through it, you really missed out.
Hey, um, Jennifer? You do realize that Paula isn’t on the show anymore, right?
And I think she wants her hair back.
Oh – and the 1994 Mother of the Bride that you ripped that dress off of? She’s calling your lawyer.
Hey Jennifer… you DID know that Santa Claus isn’t real, right?
Nope, the Easter Bunny isn’t either.
Nor the Tooth Fairy.
Hey Jennifer – is that a spider on your teleprompter?
Oh – false alarm – it was just the reflection of your eyelashes.
Hey Jennifer – you know that Simon isn’t on the show anymore, right?
But if he were, he might tell you that you were “being a bit indulgent”. And to not eat your microphone.
Oh! Speaking of your microphone, is that a roach on it?
Yes, yes I think it is. Or was. Was it tasty?
What? What’s wrong? It crawled down your throat?
And you can’t get it back out??
Perhaps you should just swallow. Quickly.
Oh – nope – here it comes.
There. All better? Oh – just one more minute?
Oh my. You’re excused.
Hey Jennifer – You did realize that “The Higher the Hair, the Closer to Lord Above” isn’t really a bible verse, right?
Nope, and the little girl on Toddlers and Tiaras who, when getting her own hair teased, said “Jack it up for Jesus”, was also not quoting scriptures.
Hey Jennifer – what are you doing?
Oh goodness. You’re excused.
What’s that?
Yes, you’re right. That does smell funky.
Oh – I think Jessica may have smelled it, too.
How embarrassing.
Now now, Jessica. Be nice. Jennifer’s feelings are fragile.
I am a 31 year old Mom of two kids in Birmingham, Alabama who uses naptime to work from home (as an accountant) and blog on three different sites. 
Oh thank you for blogging about this. I was hoping you would. It was the funniest thing my kids and I have seen in a long time. My 23 year old son and I had tears of laughter.
I keep thinking about it and getting the giggles. Just last night I replayed the whole thing in my head and started laughing into my pillow so I wouldn’t wake up the household.
I googled it and was surprised how many people thought it was the best thing ever. I thought it was a screaming wipe out. Some of those faces reminded me of Donkey in Shrek. Jennifer has a powerful voice, not taking that away from her.
It really was amazingly hilarious – we were totally in tears watching it as well. Glad I wasn’t the only one!
wow, looks like i missed a real treat.
oh my. i had to go back and watch it. it was quite painful. someone’s comment on youtube suggested to check out jlo’s face at 1:32. funny.
YES! Thank you. I had been watching Randy’s faces in that shot, and had totally missed JLo’s – that was fantastic.
I think the funniest comment I read was from a friend who wrote that she looked like she was ready to eat Jessica. It was such a trainwreck to watch!
She really does – she has a surprisingly gargantuan mouth, and I think that perhaps Jessica could fit!
Wait! What? Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy aren’t real??????? I’m crushed!
Seriously, this is hysterical!!!
I thought it was the worst thing ever! Loved your commentary! I need you to explain who this woman is though. I’ve never heard of her.
I hadn’t either. She was on Dream Girls with Jennifer Hudson, and I guess that Jennifer Hudson was too embarrassed to come back and do that on Idol? Good for her.
Jennifer Holliday originated the role of Effie in the Broadway production of Dream Girls. The role that Jennifer Hudson played in the movie.
Ah! Now I see the connection!!
Hilarious!!
This. is. too. funny. for. words.
Well done, my friend. Weeeeelll done.
Too funny! Darn I missed it! Hope I can find it and watch it on youtube. Thanks for posting!
Oh you definitely need to watch it!! Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWxDVvwzRH4
