Beatles Week

Along with pictures from last week, my very opinionated, unbiased and very valuable opinions are as follows:
Carly--Wow. At first I felt like "Blackbird" was being sung too forcefully and that she needed to lighten up her voice, but in the end I really liked it. Easy on the "7" tat on her finger though. She's hardcore :)
Chikezie: His song wasn't as good as last week, and I didn't love the harmonica, but it was actually kind of funny to me. Of course Simon was ridiculously rude about it--but that's pretty normal for Simon. He is very black/white about everything.


David A: I have to admit that I am a TOTAL nerd. I seriously got nervous right before he started to sing. It's not that I think he can't handle the pressure, and that he'll flop, I was just nervous because I want him to do well so badly. It's all his fault that I'm as absurdly addicted I am to American Idol this season. He knocked it out of the ballpark. Woot!
Michael: I still like him. I think it was one of his weaker performances, but he can get away with a few bad weeks. Let's not forget the power of an auzzie accent. Oh, and his voice...yeah.


Ramiele: She acted cheesy and forced to me. She is definitely more suited for ballads--even if she does bore the LIFE out of everyone whilst singing them. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz



Syesha
: Her best week by far. I'm still not convinced she doesn't deserve to be in the bottom 3 though. It's hard this season--because she's up against insane competition. Now maybe if she had been on LAST year...Also, she is epidomy of MEH.
Jason: He somehow makes dreads cool. I agree that he is charming--but that he is also kind of vulnerable and awkward without his guitar. I kept waiting for Simon to attack him as being "cheesy" but I'm glad he didn't. I'm a Jason fan. I'm still waiting for someone to agree with me about him being pretty. :)






Ryan
: Ha! Fine, so he's not a contestant--but does anybody else think he is actually getting more funny?



David C
: A teensy bit predictable this week--but he's not going anywhere. He brings out my rocker side...and that's what I like about him. There is such a difference between him and Amanda. I don't want to stab my eardrums when I hear HIM sing. He is in my favorite top 3.
Brooke: Please--she's adorable. So likable and dangit her hair always looks great :) I did think the whole yellow dress & happy sunshineyness (yes, a word) was a LITTLE over the top. It doesn't really matter though--she has such a cool texture to her voice and she can admit when she deserves a bit of criticism.

Kristy Lee: I think Kristy is genuinely sweet in her interviews and stuff--but when it comes to singing in a competition--goodbye already. Honestly--if "8 days a week" wasn't enough to get her sent home, this week sealed the deal. Peace out.
Speaking of peace out--
Amanda
: Two words: Adams Family. She scares me. She won't attempt a "boring ballad" and she yells into the microphone. Can you imagine her in a bad mood? If she sings like this when she's happy--watch your back if she's ticked. Oh, and I hope she knows the only reason she is still in the competition is because she is the lucky recipient of all the voters from www.votefortheworst.com.

I admit that I am ridiculously addicted to American Idol this year. I've always liked it, but I really believe that this is the best year they've ever had. Sorry to the readers who roll their eyes at these posts. They're actually pretty fun to write :)

Okay...I'm totally agreeing with you that Jason is pretty. And, could we PLEASE vote two off this week? I really don't want to watch Amanda or Kristy again.

well - i fell asleep after david cook - but he was awesome. predictable, like you said - but SO good. he's going to do really well after the show - really well. i thought brooke was not very good last night and i didn't think michael was good either. david A did really well - and he needed to. he really was awes last night. when amanda performed i was like "whut." it was horrid. she is redick. anyway - there are my comments on the matter.

while i don't want to see amanda for even one more minute, it's a tie for me between ramiele and kristy- they are both equally "out the door" to me. ramiele just bugs me to no end for some reason.

Thank you SO much for doing Idol posts! I LOVE American Idol and haven't been able to watch it in weeks. David A. is SO stinkin' cute! I LOVE him too! I've always been a huge fan of Ryan S. too, he's SO funny.

for me, get kristy OUT OF THERE. i can't handle her. ever since her very first performance where she kept doing that weird eye thing. (does anyone else know what i'm talking about?) i adore brooke, but i didn't think she did very well last night. i think the davids did well, but they're both kind of predictable. paul and i were discussing this--isn't everyone, in their genre, "predictable" in a way? like, they know what they do well and stick with it? anyways.

p.s. LOVE having mutual at a different time than 7:00 on tuesday night. dear president monson...

I love that you do this Idol post. I LOVE to discuss. First off, I LOVE the Beatles, and can't handle the way Kristy sang that song. Come on, let's get a little more excited with the "HEY" part of that song like they did. Also, I forgot about that votefortheworst.com. I was wondering why Amanda was never in the bottom three.
I was a little embarrassed for Brooke, but I guess it's her first oops, so she is forgiven.
Can't wait for the results tonight! See ya Kristy! (Hopefully)

I always have to search youtube for david's latest performance...because he is MY American Idol addiction. I mean seriously can anyone really be that good natured and SWEET all the time?!?! I was SO glad he did much better this week!!!

I love reading your American Idol Commentaries. I too am a little tired of Kristy Lee, but hate to see anyone go, (but I can't stand to listen to another week, I have to fast forward her performances.) I think Jason is gorgeous, J thinks he looks like John Travolta. Amanda....not sure what to say to that.
Nichole said…
Yahoo Amanda is gone...she is a good sport though!! And I am still a HUGE fan of DA!! He is so cute and talented...
$iceman said…
I am obsessed with David A. too haha, the other day I was having an intense argument with my brother because he was mentioning that he looks like he is going to cry everytime he is told he made it through to the next week..ugh! Anyways get ready for the Idol Tour this summer because you and Danny are coming with us!! NO EYE ROLLING HERE!!

The first thing I said when I saw this season was, Wow, he has a really pretty face! He might need to cut his hair so he looks less like a girl. But now his dreads are kinda growing on me. So, yeah, I'm with you Rae.
David Archuleta is in my ward here in Murray. He's a really cool kid. I kinda hope he wins, just because heaven knows America could use some good idols to look up to that aren't slease bags. There's my 2 cents.
