American Idol - Top 13

I'm going to do my best to give a personal recap of American Idol every week.  I may not compliment the actual singing, but believe me comments will be made.  

I'm not a big Michael Jackson fan but I really did love the selections.  I'm also not a fan of Kara, maybe she'll grow on me.  Simon is Simon.  I would love to see Paula fall of the stage when she jumps up and starts dancing.  Randy is my Dawg, he usually says exactly what I'm thinking.  

Maybe Melissa from The Bachelor will start singing and show up on American Idol since she's on every other reality show now.

Lil - First of all, is that her real name?  I do hope big shoulder ruffles come back in style.  I have a few shirts in my closet I'd love to wear.  She started off the show well and so far I like her.

Scott - I think he is talented but not extraordinary.  I don't like that the judges are all about his disability.  An individual should come before their disability.  I think he'll probably make the Top 8 but I doubt he'll go farther.  

Danny - I really like him and yes, a lot of it has to do with the fact that he loves Jesus.  I  like that he's a little funky.  He is crazy talented!  Simon made fun of his dance moves...but I thought they were awesome.  He is who he is and I hope that people can see Jesus shining through him.

Michael - I like him too!  It seems like he is a hard worker and really proud of where he has come from.  He's married...but out of everyone, he's my type! :)  He didn't have the best vocal but I think he has a ton of potential!

Jasmine - I love the young ones (minus David Arculetta, I never liked him) but I never want them to win.  I think it's because I feel like the older ones deserve it more.  I'm not sure why...just my own logic.  I doubt she'll make it very far.  I also think her mom looks a little like a love child of Michael Jackson and Paula...strange.

Breaktime - Because I'm a reality tv junkie, I like a little drama.  I wish we knew a little more about their relationships with each other.  I'm sure someone doesn't like someone and that someone is interested in someone.  I wish I knew these things.  I know I'm nosy but at least I admit it.

Kris - I've been to his hometown countless times.  Conway is a tiny town in Arkansas where my youth pastor grew up.  I liked Kris and I thought he had some potential but don't think he showed much tonight.  It is nice that he helped everyone else out.  He wins the servant of the week award.  His poor wife...Simon says dumb things....she's so cute and I feel bad for her.

Allison - I can't believe she is 16.  She's so young.  I hope she doesn't just sing rocker music.  Maybe that's what she wants to do.  If so, I'm not really interested.  iI like her hair and her raspy voice though.

Anoop - He seems like a guy I'd be friends with.  He's funny and very entertaining.  It was a little karaoke-ish.  He didn't do very well this week but I hope that he gets to stay around.  I really think he can do much better.  

Jorge - I love his hair...the curls are great!  He seems real genuine and so proud of his country and family.  I don't think he'll last long though.  He's got the fun accent and a great story but I'm just not sure people will vote for him.

Megan - I immediately loved her during auditions.  I cried when they showed her missing her sweet, little boy.  My first tears of the season are for Megan.  She's fun and cute and has a lot of personality.  One question, "Did she really kaw at the end?"  I'm excited to see what she does in the upcoming weeks because she'll definitely be around.

Adam - I'm not all about boys who paint their nails but he did a great job.  He was really entertaining and fun.  I'm sure Adam will be around for a long time.  I hope that he can work with all the different genres AI does.  

Matt - Another one who I think has some great potential.  I really like his voice and his piano skills.  Most of the music I really love and listen to is what I think he is best at.  Hopefully he'll be around for a few more weeks too!

Alexis - She's okay, not awesome but not bad either.  I'm not sure what I think about her yet.  I think she definitely wants to sing and she has a powerful voice.  Maybe she needs a little more experience on the stage.  

My Picks
Top 2 (I can't pick a 3rd...I just thought they were way above everyone else.)
Danny
Adam

Bottom 3
Scott
Jorge
Anoop (sorry Mariko, I like him...but bad song choice!)

Anoop didn't pick the best song that he could've done, I will admit. I'm placing my money on Adam making it to the top 2. He's not my fave, but he's got what they're looking for. I agree with you on the young ones. They're good, but I think the older peeps deserve to win. My faves overall (not just last night): Matt (modern Billy Joel), Danny (joyful widow), and Anoop (he just has a special spot in my heart). =)

Jaci - I look forward to the weekly recap, especially since I got hooked early on this season.

Anoop got at least 8 votes from Austin last night. :)

I really like Matt and Danny (seriously might be my fav) too.

Is it bad that I wasn't impressed with Adam? Maybe a better way of saying it - I wasn't as impressed as the judges. I thought he took some risks, but wasn't wowed like I was with David Cook last year. Good times with American Idol! :)

I absolutely agree with you about the top 2- they were in a different league from the others. I think Danny has the best vocal, but currently Adam is the 2nd best vocal and has the best mastery over the stage...but maybe Danny will develop that showmanship with time?

Its fun to know that you watch too!
