top 10 boys - the kid has got it!

overall for me the top 10 boys 70s night sucked big time. michael was ok, most were dreadful, little david was awesome. his chilling rendition of "imagine" even moved the judges. this kid is in it to win it!

my top 12 girls pick

i really liked kady malloy. there were many others i liked but i think she was my favorite. i hated 60s week in general though. please for the love of all that is good and holy pick newer songs!!! i was sooooo bored and it was a very long 4 hours of TV with the 2 night combined.

top 12 guys - my pick

Michael Johns ..... loved his first audition, loved the queen song and loved him the best tonight. he's cute, he's hot and he's my top 12 guys pick.

jordin sparkles!

as we start the 2 hour finale (why 2 hours when the results take 2 minutes?) as always randy is speaking his form of english, paula looks high and simon already looks bored to tears.

is it just me or does american idol have greater celeb backing than it used to? this year's finale had bette midler, gladys night, smokey robinson, tony bennet and green day not to mention gwen stefani live from her tour where as last year we were treated to a washed up, scary looking meatloaf.

so my main problem with the 2 hours is the filler. as long as it's entertaining it's not bad but the weird bird lady kissing ryan is not my idea of good tv, nor is making fun of the two guys who don't even understand they're being made fun of. all that stuff .... not funny. last year clay aiken coming out when his goofy, ugly looking, "twin" (although i don't think he looks like him) sang was hilarious and unexpected.

another thought i have is during this whole process the judges criticize if they feel a performance is too "broadway" or "showtuney" but they are always made to do this theatrical group bullshit. very few of them i actually enjoy because for the most part they are not current at all. why does "group performance" always equal "high school musical". (not the movie)

57 minutes into the show and the only thing that was entertaining to me was blake's beat boxing performance ....... something unlike anything on american idol to date. then at 63 minutes into the show .......... carrie underwood. so pretty, so talented and so grown up from 2 years ago. now that finale was something speical. picture it ....... gold sparkling dress, long wavy hair, gold sparks from the ceiling ..... carrie singing "inside your heaven", her voice cracking from the emotion on the last few lines .... then her emotional cry ... "thank you america!!". she became a star at that moment, it gave me chills then and it still does looking back. that girl is 1 in a million.

random thought - why aren't fundip sticks pink anymore?

the worst part of the show for me was sanjaya ...... even though i had him on mute i still was annoyed. the wind blowing, him thinking he's cool, the freaking girl crying again ........ i am without words. i have no words. i just know it makes me want to vomit. and someone please get that girl some medical help.

anyway so the results ..... jordin takes it and it was a very nice moment. i really liked them both so i was happy either way. i think they'll both go a long way.

dolittle is finally a don't

i'm so glad that she got the "boot" this week. sure she can sing but i find her so boring i want to fling myself off the roof everytime i hear her sing! plus her fake "i'm so meek and mild" routine was so annoying and fake.

as for the final i love both blake and jordin so i'm very happy. if i had to pick an idol i might say blake because he's so different from anything they've had prior to now but either way they'll both get a CD out of it so WHOO HOO!!
