Going Home

Well, I almost had a heart attack watching AI last night. I didn't get to see the entire show so I was very surprised at the end that nobody was sent home. Whew! I thought it was going to be Jordin and thought that was an in justice! Hopefully, I will get to see next week's show.

I MISSED IT AGAIN!

Hi friends. . . and family. LOL

I missed AI again this week. Those doggone kids schedule their crap on AI night. The nerve! I heard some chat on the radio this morning about last nights show though. I heard that Blake sucked and so did LaKisha. It was said that Blake's song was too easy and that LaKisha should not have done a Fantasia song. It was too big for her. It was stated that Phil wasn't too bad and that he is now on the Vote For the Worst website. A few people have mentioned Jordin winning the competition. If she does, I TOLD YOU SO! On the radio station I was listening to this morning, the prediction was that LaKisha would be going home tonight. I would much rather see nasal tone Chris hit the bricks! Post comments and get me up to speed on what I missed last night!

4/17/2007 American Idol Night!

Hey folks! I will probably miss AI this Tuesday due to playing Mom to the middle child. He has a school skate night. Will someone post how the contestants did or email me and I will post it?

Thanks!

4/11/07 Going Home

Boy oh Boy! I sure have not been predicting things very well this season. I usually have my 2 picks in the bottom three, but really thought Phil was going home last night instead of Haley.

Final 8 - Jennifer Lopez

It was Latin night on American Idol last night. For the most part it was a fun show. None of the contestants blew my socks off but there were two that I enjoyed over the rest.

Melinda: I missed her performance. What I saw of the snipit at the end was great. Not sure why Simon was so pissy about her performance and not having fun.

LeKisha: Conga
LeKisha had awesome hair last night. I was afraid she might fall out of her dress though. I thought she had a great vocal and performance.
R: Having a good time, made it your own.
P: Safe LeKisha performance.
S: Agree with Paula

Chris: Smooth
The beginning of the song was flat to me. It was like the key he was singing in was too low for him. Chris did try to make the song his own. I am not crazy about all the runs he puts in his songs.
R:Did a really good job.
P:Hot performance.
S: Not best vocal. Liked the performance better than the first two singers.

Haley: Turn the Beat Around
I don't have a lot to say about Haley. Good job for Haley. Sounded a bit out of breath at the end.
R: Really Karaoke.
P: Fun song.
S: Can't do well in the competition with your voice so you have to fun. Felt vocals were rushed.

Phil: Maria Maria
Better vocal and performance than last week but still not good. The song choice suited him but he is out talented. The pitch problem at the end wasn't as bad as Simon made it out to be.
R: Didn't quite connect.
P: Good vocal.
S: No originality.

Jordin: Conga
Best performance of the night for me. She made the song original, had great vocals and the performance was fun and entertaining.
R: You got it!
P: So authentic.
S: Okay performance.

Blake: a Marc Anthony song forget the name right now
Blake is my favorite male contestant. I really enjoy listening to his voice. He is a bit much to watch most of the time. I think Jordin out sang him though.
R: Hot song choice and performance.
P: Very smart.
S: Best song choice and performance of the night.

Sanjaya:
Last night was the best he has looked so far this season. His vocal was actually okay, just not believable.
R: That was really good.
P: Smooth, very nice.
S: It was horrible.

That about sums up the night for me. My favorites this week were Jordin and Blake. The bottome two were Chris and Phil. Nope, as much as I hate to admit it Sanjaya was not the worst for me this week. He had better be careful, doing better may get him voted off the show! Can't wait to hear from the rest of you!

Antother Comment. . .

I really feel that the vote for the worst that is keeping Sanjaya on the show is really mean for Sanjaya. Did anyone see his expression last night? I can't imagine how it makes him feel every week to watch someone he has made friends with that deserves to be on the show more than he does go home and he stay. People think they are being funny but in actuality it is making a mockery out of the poor boy. He goes on to perform every week knowing it's a big joke. I guess maybe he could just withdraw. I don't blame him for riding the wave of publicity while he has it, I just feel that enough is enough.

Going home week 9

Boy did I get it wrong this week! I really thought Haley or Phil were going home. Gina was not one of the top singers but did not derserve to go home last night. What a surprise!

Final 9 Tony Bennett

Not my favorite genre but I managed to get through it.

Blake: I missed his performance. I would love to hear (read) comments.

Phil: Day and Night
A few rough notes in this song but an overall decent vocal. The performance was very boring for me.
R: Didn't feel a connection. Have more joy.
P: Young Frank Sinatra, show more personality.
S: Showed the joy of someone singing at a funeral.

Melinda: I've Got Rythmn
Great vocal but the dress sucked. Melinda seems very comfortable on stage and performing.
R: Gives everyone a lesson in singing every week.
P: Flawless performance.
S: Liked the last half of the song. Don't think we will ever be able to criticize you.

Chris:
Mr. Bouncy Knees. Chris had an okay vocal and seemed to have a good time performing his song. I think I am biased because I just don't like him. The sound of his nasally voice is obnoxious and his wanna be hip hop bounce is the same no matter what he sings. He is annoying.
R: Came out with a vengence. One of your best performances this season.
P: You didn't compromise. The song was hip and cool.
S: Thought it was very good, very believable.

Jordin: On a Clear Day
Jordin sang with a clear and crisp voice. Very good vocal I think. She had a very relaxed performance. WATCH OUT! Isn't this how Kelly Clarkston snuck in the first season?
R: The bomb!
P: So frickin' proud of you.
S: Sang very well but do think it was young and current.

Gina: Smile
What is up with her hair??? Great vocal but the performance was only okay for me. I would love to see a rocker chick win this year though.
R: Very controlled.
P: Flawless
S: Can't rave on the vocals because two girls before you out sang you.

Sanjaya:
OH MY LORD! Sanjaya goes geek singing Cheek to Cheek!!! His performance reminded me of soemthing from the Partridge Family. Weak vocal. . . dah!!!!!
R: Not going to comment on the vocal anymore. Great entertainer.
P: Charming. Vocals off in the beginning.
S: I am going to try something different this week. . . INCREDIBLE.

Haley: Misbehavin'
Broadway performance - maybe cruise ship entertainment.
R: Good type of song for you.
P: You did your thing.
S: Good style of song for you but a little pagenty.

LeKisha: Stormy Weather
Beginning of the song was a bit rough. LeKisha recovered the vocals well though and finished the song on a great note!
R: Perfect song for you.
P: Sang beautifully and look beautiful.
S: Sassy great performance!

The best performance for me this week were: Jordin and Gina.
The worst performance for me this week were: Sanjaya (but I guess he doesn't count), Haley and Phil.
