Lady Gaga says Rebecca Black is a genius . We’re not sure about that, but she sure is … something. The poster child for an entirely new genre of music, perhaps. Black’s hit song did not become a hit because it’s good. HECK no. It only has tens of millions of views because it’s just too perplexing/amazing not to share. On the day before the now-celebrated weekly holiday that made Black famous, Conan O’Brien one-ups the Internet phenom with a terrific parody of ” Friday .” It’s called … wait for it … “Thursday.” Watch after the jump: Conan O’Brien – Thursday
Three weeks into the American Idol finals, we were treated to our first surprise. Our first shock, really. Following an off night on Wednesday for a couple of THG favorites – Thia Megia and Casey Abrams – they found themselves in the bottom three along with Stefano Langone. It was a scary few moments for those of us who love Thia’s voice and Casey’s originality. In the end, Megia and Langone were told to join the other, safe contestants, while millions of jaws crashed to the floor when Ryan told Casey he had been voted out. He went back to “I Don’t Need No Doctor” in an attempt to be saved, but was told a few lines into the performance to stop because… Did the judges make the right choice this week? … the panel voted unanimously to save him! “We just want you to get back to being the musician that you are,” Jennifer said. “No more antics… You deserve to be here.” Two finalists will be voted out next Thursday, as Abrams stood on stage, truly taken aback and responding: “I thought that they wouldn’t use the save, because there’s 11 people. It’s unreal. I started singing, and the fact that you cut it scared the stuff out of me.”
