American Idol Top 9....live blog

Well I am not even sure if anyone reads this but its that time again!!!

*Kara is a waste of space on the show*

Anoop- I really liked Anoop early on but he just didn't do it for me at all tonight.

Megan-OMG...I think I have an earache from listening to her. She is just AWFUL and does the same AWFUL thing week after week after week. She sounds like someone is pounding on her chest while she sings-she was HORRIBLE!!!!! I REALLY hope she is gone soon!!!!

Danny-I don't know if they just didn't have enough guidance this week in picking song choices or what but even Danny I feel was not out of the park. He was good-he is always good but I just didn't feel anything extra. He is DEFIANETLY better than the other two....the first two were a waste of space.

Allison-I really like her. I think she stays true to herself but also performs really well. I thought she was going to play a little more of the guitar than she did.

Scott-I love Billy Joel so I had high hopes. Scott does ok but he seems to do the same type of song performance week after week and that could easily become old. I don't know if its memorable enough....I enjoy it but I am only one person. Iwas glad Simon liked it and hopefully that will help keep him around this week-he is definatly one of the better ones so far tonight!

Matt-Did ok. I don't think he was the best and I don't think he was the worst. He was very middle of the road with this week's song choice. I don't know that he "made it his own" but sang ok just the same. He was almost forgettable and after being in the bottom 3 last week I am a little worried because for some reason people like Megan (darn vote for the worst!!!) I do think if he had done something like "Apoligize" he could have blown it away-but he didn't.

Lil-She can sing. No doubt about it. But I find her boring and more and more I see her the less and less I like her. No question she has talent-and I am sure she will do well post-Idol but she is not one I care about anymore.

Adam-I surprisingly enjoyed it. He kept the elvis hair and no make up face which I thought was funny and he is a little funny when he dances but he is good. He is entertaining and he is a good singer. Comfortable on stage and it was much better than expected and he looked like he had fun. I was happy with it.

Kris-One of my fave songs so I was nervouse but I think he did it well and I liked what he did with it. So far this season Kris has been forgetable to me but tonight's performance was more memorable to me and I am feeling a little bit more love for him that I did last week.


Overall not a bad night...not the most interesting or exciting evening we have seen.

I am gonna give some love to Danny, Scott, Matt, Adam, and Kris this evening. Now everyone go vote!!!

And for the record...I still hate Kara and hope she is not back next year!
OK, WTH is with the outfit critics....seriously, Randy, is this a fashion show or a singing show? I get giving some constructive criticism on outfits but making the outfit the focus of your comments...come on! At least Simon had a reason for why the outfit bothered him!

American Idol Top 10....live blog

Well you all know what time it is....American Idol blog time!! You KNOW you want to read my hate on Kara!

But before I get into my live blogging let me just say I am happy we are at the Top 10. This is who we will see on tour this summer. And while I would have prefered Alexis to be on the tour instead of Megan (She is not quite my "carly" yet but she is definately when I will be checking my text messages) but over all I am happy with who we will get to see in concert. I look forward to the American Idol Concert in Atlantic City because its the one time a year I get together with one of my best friends from college for a girl's night out - just us! We hit Atlantic City-have a nice meal, and head into the concert, sometimes seeing the idols...sometimes not! I just hope they release the dates soon so we can get our tickets!! Plus...once we know when it is I can start my secret plan!!!

Ok down to business....

Matt-Nice job. Nice touch getting up from the piano. Good song choice and I was happy with it. He is one I really enjoy and I hope he will be around for a while.

Kris-He is ok. Not bad at all but he just hasn't pulled me in quite yet. I don't mind listening to him but I don't look forward to it either.

*I just thought I would interject here....can we vote off Kara?? I don't even listen to her so when she talks I have to write about how much I hate her so I don't have to listen. SEND KARA AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Scott-I like Scott. Everyone knows this but I have to say that who ever is his stylist has to help him a little...pink pants? That is just mean. Maybe they are trying to dress "Motown"?? Anyway...I really enjoyed his performance. I am glad he took something a little more upbeat to show he doesn't do just the same song every week. I was surprised Simon didn't like it. I thought he did better than they are acting like he did. I thought it was a good job to do the upbeat.

LOL Paula just gave Simon crayons and coloring books!!!

Megan-Blah Who is dressing these people??? and I really don't like her or her voice-its not good. And she is still wearing those awful eye lashes that keep her from opening her eyes. Randy said it---TRAINWRECK!!!! PLEASE go home!


Anoop-I like Anoop but that was nothing spectacular and it could hurt him. I would like to keep him around for a little longer but we will see...

Michael-Another one I don't mind watching and I am glad he is on the tour but I don't think he will be around much longer. He is ok but not sure people will buy into it. But people DO like him.

Lil-she is not a bad singer but just something about her that makes me go "blah blah blah blah blah" when she talks....she is to full of herself and has some serious ego issues.Didn't do anything for me though...

Adam-he looks funny. They had to tell them to dress Motown or something.But his singing is good and I enjoy him. Good interpretation of the song in bringing it. He showed he could do different...and made the song his own.

Danny-I do enjoy a good upbeat song....did very nice job. I liked the performance and the song and can listen to him so far anytime.

Allison-I thoguht she did a good job. She doesn't at all sounds like a kid. I worry a little about her because she did forget some words but the judges love her so we will see.

All in all a good show-Motown was more entertaining than I expected so that was good. Let's see where it goes tonight....

American Idol Top 11 week!!! Country Music Week

Ok time for me to talk about Idol!!

First up....why do they make people sing country songs??? It is such a specific type of music. Its like asking them all to sing Rap!!!

And I just HAVE to ask if anyone else noticed the Top 11 American Idol commercial this week where Simon, Paula, Randy and Ryan all had significant lines and focus but nothing for KARA!!! All they did was show her on the panel....hahahahahaha...I think they really do KNOW how much she is hurting the show. I hope she is gone soon!!

First up....

Michael-Definately seemed in his comfort zone and I thought he did a good job. I would like to see him go to the top 10.
(Randy is ridiculus too-he is really starting to iritate me...I think he is taking his cues from Kara.)
Nice response from Michael after Simon spoke.

Allison-I enjoy her. Its hard to believe she is only 16. She has style and a good sound.And she really seems comfortable on stage which projects well when you watch her.

Kris-He has a nice voice and did a good job but he is just not anything special for me at this point. I think he can make it to top ten but if he didn't I wouldn't be heartbroken. He may grow on me more throughout the season because he is good-I just don't know how memorable he is to me just yet. But nice job.

Lil-I know she can sing but I am just not really interested in her. She reminds me of the ego Syesha had last year with this sort of entitled to be there type vibe about her. She definately has a good voice and can sing and I think she will be around for a while and no matter where it ends up she will do something. I just don't really have any love for. I don't have hate (I save that all for Kara) but I don't have any love either. And after she talked while Simon was trying too my impression of her just dropped even further because it was quite rude. I really can't listen to her talk though-I have decided that. Its not quite like listening to Fantasia which my ears just can't handle, but I would like her better if she didn't talk. Its not her voice as much as her attitude that comes out of her mouth.

Adam-I like adam but what is he thinking with this arrangement? If he had done it right I think it could have been a good chance for him to show his abilities but this looked more like a performance from a high school musical and just bad. I wanted to like it but not tonight. Hopefully this will not kill him and we will see him next week. Too much screaming for me. I agree with Simon 100%.

Scott-I like Scott. He is much more comfortable when he is on the piano. I like how the song picked up the second half ands howed more than just his slow song ability. A few rough spots but I liked him and hope he is in for another week!

Ok Paula really annoyed me. What does she want him to do... a jig and fall off the stage because she wants him to dance?? Give me a freakin break. And I am glad that Simon stepped up and said she was being stupid. There is nothing wrong with him sitting at a piano every week-he just needs to change up his song choices because they are all good but they do sound similiar so switching it up will be good but he can do it with a piano. It is a singing competition and singing behind a piano is still singing. Plus last year David Cook played every week but one with his guitar.

Alexis-She did ok but it seemed safe and boring and I didn't think it was all that memorable. I think she could be in trouble this week if people don't remember to vote for her.

Danny-He is good and still gives me chills. I really like him. He still seems a little akward on stage just walking and singing but he sings well. And I do like him.

I am really sick of the Randy-Kara show. They are both obnoxious and Kara has really ruined the judges chemistry. Paula may not be able to always articulate what she wants to say but she has given more constructive advice and less on just saying how people look pretty. Even when I think she is wrong, she at least seems to have a real thought-unlike the bobsey twins who are useless.

Anoop-I like Anoop. I think it was smart to do a different style song and show he can sing a serious song and not just the fun kick back type songs. I think he did really well. I hope to seem him around for a while. I really do enjoy watching him. I like the fun stuff he has done but I also enjoyed the slower song he performed tonight.

Simon said it well.

When Randy talks...and Kara....all I hear is "wah wah wah wah"....

Megan-Yeah not so much. And her fake eye lashes are so big she can't open her eyes. She just does not have a voice I want to listen to...ever. I hope she goes home tonight. Can't listen to her on the tour....

What show is Randy watching "I thought it would be a bit of a train wreck but it was really good"....It was a HUGE trainwreck. And shut up Kara through out the excuse its because she had the FLU-give me a freakin break.....she hasn't been good at all and being sick didn't help at all. She sucked. What is wrong with Simon even thinking it was good??

Matt-He is good and likable. He did well and defiantely is better with the piano like Scott is. I like him. I think he has a strong voice and we just need to see him in a variety of songs to really see he can do a lot and have a wide appeal. I think his voice works well with the piano and would work well without it.

OK...well I have only been watching this show since season 6 and I have to say I really think this year its a tighter competion than in the past seasons. I feel there is no "Sanjaya". I am anxious for tomorrow's show and I will need to get my fingers ready to go do some voting. I am hoping Megan is gone...fingers crossed!!

TV Talk: American Idol 2009....week 3 blog

Ok, I missed last week's live blog chance because we were not home so I am going to try again this week....interjecting my thoughts of course!

First up....

Von-not so much. I am disgusted that Randy and KB(aka Kara-use your imagination on what that stands for) praised this guy so much. He wasn't horrible like others we have seen but it was not idol worthy-it was like something I would watch in a casino or hotel. I was surprised even Simon liked him. I think they were watching something different than we were at home...

Taylor-Not really that bad but again it was nothng in spiring. It seemed old to me. For such a young girl I thought she would sing something a little more fun and memorable. She definately has chops but I just don't know that its enough to be the best.

*KB is talking and makes no sense-I swear she is worse than Paula has ever been-and I am glad Simon called her out just a little bit* I hate Kara.

Alex-singing Elton is risky. I think his personality will help him to be memorable but I am not sure he was wonderful. Seemed a little "karoke" to take from Simon. I thought he was better than the first guy but still not best singer but he was funny and memorable and entertaining.

Arianna-she has a very nice voice. the song seemed a little old and "high school musical" and kind of dreadful but she didn't really put a youthful spin on it. Song choice could be what gets her on this.

Ju'Not-I liked him best so far tonight. He has potential and made a song his own. I am hopeful for him. We would vote for him.

Kristen-Her voice was good (although I liked the purple in her hair better!)She has a good voice although there is something about her that I am not overly excited about but voice wise she did well.

Nathanial-he has style but its just not something I can get behind as the American Idol. He is not bad and I could definately see him on broadway but it just didn't do it for me tongiht.

Felicia-a little rough in spots but strong overall I felt. I worry about it being memorable. This week there is a lot of middle of the road-unlike some the other weeks that really stood out. But she was enjoyable.
(I still hate KB and when she talks....all I hear is blah blah blah)

Scott-I liked him. He has a good voice. I think he has a nitch of song types but I think he could go to the top 12....he is definately not the worst tonight and I think he was one of the better ones. Got my vote-I want to see him sing and play piano b/c that is when he is really good.

Kendall-I liked her. She had one of the few upbeat songs and I think it stood out against some of the others, especially the girls. It was entertaining. It wasn't a perfect song but it was more memorable than others I thought.

Jorge-I actually enjoyed his performance. He has a good voice. Again, doing Elton is risky but I thought he did well. Not sure how memorable he will be-there is a lot of middle ground tonight but he was good. He surprised me and I liked it.

Lil-it was good. she has a nice voice and it was shown tonight. She definately stood out from others tonight. I think we will see her again...

All in this night was not bad. There was a lot of decent but not great so its going to be interesting to see how tomorrow night goes. I am still pulling for Scott myself but we will see how it goes!!

But have I mentioned how much I still hate Kara? While she was not as bad tonight as past weeks (maybe someone clued her in to the fact she is annoying!) but I still think it was a poor show choice to add her as a judge....how can we get rid of her??
