...my view on this thing we call American Idol.
I'm not sure what is going on this year. I mean, if the top 24 weren't a strange enough group, we add the fact that America voted off 2 great singers for 2 lousy ones. Sundance and Sabrina truly deserved to be in that top 12. Sanjaya and Haley should be thanking their lucky stars and then calling Sundance and Sabrina to apologize for stealing their spots. Moving on... last night was just weird. Brandon and Haley forgetting the words, Chris and Blake changing the songs, and please tell me what Sanjaya was doing with his hair. Let's just take it down the line.
Brandon isn't all that great of a singer. There is a reason he was a backup singer and I think we have uncovered it. You just can't forget your words at this stage in the game.
Melinda is absolutely brilliant. She has the most amazing voice I have ever heard and I will be floored if she doesn't make the finals.
Chris is confusing. I really like his voice, and think for the most part he has done a good job, but he is so hard to watch. I mean, the hair and his lisp...I dunno!
Gina is a hard one. Sometimes I love her, but then Simon is right about her screaming. I don't know what to think about her.
Phil I really like. He has a great voice, but I think he tries too hard sometimes. If he could just pick the right songs, he could be a threat.
Haley has no business being on that stage. She tires to hard and wants nothing more than to sound like Celine Dion. She should be the first to go after Sanjaya.
Sanjaya...has anyone else in American Idol history looked as ridiculous as this kid did last night. He looked like he let his little sister play dress up on him. That hair was just wrong and his voice wasn't any better than the hair. GO HOME!!
I love Lakisha! That girl can sing. Every time she opens her mouth you are guaranteed chills. She is definitely "church grown". She will be in the finals as long as she opens up and shows some personality.
Blake is pretty good. He can really sing, he just needs to focus on that rather on putting his own spin on everything.
Stephanie disappointed me last night. I thought she would do really well with a Diana Ross song, but she kinda bombed. I think she will be around for a while, but she needs to pick better songs.
I have never really liked Chris. I can't ever understand what he is saying because he puts way too many runs in. I think he overdoes it and really doesn't sing all that well.
Jordin is good. For being only 17 she has a set of pipes. I love her personality and her voice is crystal clear. I think Melinda and Lakisha need not count her out at all.
OK...so there it is. You now know my Idol opinion even if you didn't want too! I love the show, but they need to do something to pull everyone back in. This year has been a tad boring.
A little side note... I think Devan and I have both been coaxed into trying out for AI next year. Devan by a friend and me by my Children's Choir. I lost a bet with them and that was the punishment. This could be very interesting!!!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I completely agree with nearly everything you said...except---phil. The man with 2 first names. Yikes, i can not stand the guy. So, while i agree with the two you said who should go home first, i hope he is soon after.
Idol this season does make me wish i had tivo so i could fast forward through most of it.
happy you joined the blogging world. You are doing better than your sister and it is only your 2nd day. : )
Hey! Thanks for talking about Idol...I thought I may be the only one who was thinking about it! I do agree with you about the powerhouse girls. The boys don't have a chance. And Sunjia (sp?), that poor boy. It was miserable. He'll probably make it to the final 3. That's how this show works. :)
My DVR is how I am getting through this season. I'm alittle bored.
Miss you and I will call soon!
