American Idol Top 36 (Tues)

I decided to blog about American Idol while I am watching. I might go off topic, but it's my blog and I can do whatever I want. I don't know if I will continue to do it or not, but it's something to do.

To start it off,

Jackie somebody sang "A Little Less Conversation"

I thought she wasn't the greatest. It almost sounded like she was screaming the song at some points. I think she was trying to be funny more than she was actually singing. Her outfit was awful! Leave the 80's in the 80's!

Note: I really want some Orange Juice. I just saw an Orange Juice commercial on the tv and I really want some. We only have OJ with pulp and I'm not a pulp girl.

Ricky Braddy sang some song by Leon Russell

I've never seen this guy before. He is one of those that they showed absolutely no footage on. He's from NC! Neighboring state. Maybe he will be good. So far, in the clips, he doesn't sound that bad. His outfit isn't that bad. A lot better than Jackie. He's a pretty good singer. It's kind of a slow song, but he didn't too bad. I loved that he hugged his parents when he came to sit on the couch as opposed to Jackie who said move over and make room for me.

Alexis Grace (I really like her at least from what I've seen on the previous shows) sang "Never Loved A Man"

She's from Memphis, TN and her little girl is so cute! I have no idea what she is wearing. She looks like she just took some lingerie out of the closet and put it on. It kind of reminds me of Chicago (the movie). She has kind of let me down. I'm not as impressed with her as I have been. Simon really likes her. I'm thinking that unless something happens, she will make it through. She hugged her dad and friend too. She needs to ditch the black nails. Seriously!

Note: Paula is wearing her jewelery. (The jewelery from her line). Also, I just saw Doogie Howser. I can't remember what his real name is.

What's with a commercial after every singer? No wonder it takes 2 hours!

Brent Keith sang "Hicktown"

That was weird that his tape didn't play. I thought something was wrong with the tv at first. I know how he feels about living paycheck to paycheck. He seems like a nice guy. He's not too bad. He's got cute dimples, but he's married. He looked like he was having fun. That's for sure. He seems liked by a lot of the other contestants.

Note: They are actually going to show two contestants next! What?!?!

Stevie Wright sang some song by Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me"

I think she had a rough start. Not a good song choice. She almost sounds like she is talking and rushing her words. I think the song is too rushed for her. Looks like the judges agree with me. Simon is so brutally honest and so conceited.

Note: Dude on the front row made a hilarious face.

Anoop Desai (I really liked his voice from clips I've seen) sang "Angel of Mine"

He's from Chapel Hill, NC. Neighboring State as well! Interesting song choice. He's got a pretty good voice. I like him. He's different and unique. Not your typical contestant. I thought he did really well! The crowd seems to like him. He looks like he could cry. I don't know if it's just nerves or what. No hug for the family?

Note: Is Kara going to always agree with Randy? Ryan looks so weird with his legs crossed. Weird.

Casey Carlson sang "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"

She's a pretty girl, but she is really young and could use some experience. I'm not really impressed with her either. I don't know if she will make it through. If she does make it through, it's because of her looks. Well, at least her mom liked her. She seems really nervous.

Note: Another twofer!

Michael Sarver (the oilrigger, I liked him too, dang it!) sand "I don't Wanna Be"

It's not too bad, but not the greatest. I think it's going to be tough since a lot of the guys seem really good so far. Looks like the judges didn't like him as much. Although, Simon wants him to stay around.

Anne Marie Bosovich sang "Natural Woman"

She is from Nashville, TN! Another Tennessean! Uh oh, she is trying to tackle Aretha. She's not too bad. She had some parts where she was off, but it's better than most of the other girls.

Note: I just saw the new Wolverine movie preview. It looks pretty good. I'm excited about it.

Stephen Fowler sang "Rock With You"

I personally do not think he should have made it through because he forgot the lyrics during Hollywood week. He was ok.

Note: I'm starting to get a little bored.

Tatiana del Toro (I can't stand her) "I'm Saving All My Love For You"

She is such a Drama Queen! She can sing though, but I still don't like her. Plus she's not even from the states, so she's not really an american. Puerto Rico is a territory not a state. I don't get it. Her body language just makes me want to throw up. She is so over dramatic! Seriously! I wonder if she has heard some of the feedback about how people don't like her and so now she is trying to scale it back. Simon so agrees with me. Yes! Kind of disappointed that Simon liked her. What is she doing? Flirting with Ryan?

Note: I so just did a snort laugh. I crack myself up.

Danny Gokey (I'm on the fence about him. He has a good voice, but I don't know if I like him because his wife is dead or because he can actually sing.) sang "Hero" (Mariah Carey)

I can't believe he's singing this song. I'm kind of sad that his friend didn't make it through. I really like his voice so far and he seems pretty on pitch. The judges LOVE him. His friend looked a little sad. Maybe because he didn't make it through. Simon told him he was a good singer. I love how he just froze in place. Why didn't they talk with his family\friends? What was that about?

My Picks

Girl: Alexis

Guy: Anoop or Danny (I'm thinking Danny)

Wild Card: Most likely the guy that didn't make it through above, if not that person than Michael, Anne Marie
