American Idol

I don't get to see this much because I have been at basketball games every Tuesday for the last three months. But I do try to watch on Wednesdays when I can. It is now 8:15 and I was beginning to think this was the amateur hour. The first three were absolutely awful. One was a comedian and not a very good one at that. How he made it to this stage, I don't know. The next two were good. Allison, 16, with the bright red hair, looks like a clown but has a great voice. I would not be surprised to see her go all the way. Kris was pretty good, but don't think he will go that far. The next was Meghan with the tatooed sleeve down her arm. What a turn off. She is beautiful and reminds me of my great niece, Kim only Kim has dark hair. But something about her voice and mannerisms don't set well with me. The judges liked her but not me. I guess we will see. I missed the next guy because Darla called about some tax crap that she had questions about. I just heard Jesse. She was ok but nothing special. She may make it to the next round. She seems to have a good personality and good looks. Simon really hits the nail on the head most of the time. He said she was forgettable. (I didn't know that word had two t's till the spell check jumped on it.) Kai Kalama is singing now. I love the song. He has a great voice. But if he expects to win this thing he needs to find a hair stylist and a barber to shape up his facial hair. He looks like he has been homeless most of his life. He loves his Mom so that always earns points with me. Simon ripped him really bad. These judges crack me up. They tell one person to take chances and make the song their own, then they tell the next guy not to screw up a song that was perfect to begin with by "making it their own." And HELLO, there is nothing wrong with singing old songs. On to Mishavonna. What a name! Glad I didn't have to put that on standardized tests in school. She has a really good voice and she definitely has the looks to make it. The judges were tough on her but I think she could do well. I do think she would be better in the country venue. The next guy looks like a Jonas Brother wannabe. Maybe he is the bastard child of a mistress to Mr. Jonas. He just sang a Rolling Stones (ugh) song. He is much better looking than Mick Jagger but who isn't. He will probably move on but I don't think he will make it to the end. Talk about pitchy! Paula has the hots for him. He does have good stage presence and his looks are what teenagers flip over. Amber hates that I criticize people's singing. Just can't help myself.
