American Idol Finale

May 26th, 2010

Tonight is the finale for American Idol. This season had it’s ups and downs. Mostly downs to me. But it’s over and I am glad. Over the seaon, I spoke to many fans of AI and everyone pretty much said the same thing. Also, it was obvious who were going to be the top 2 contestants… Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze. We all won.

Now that I vented a little, it’s all about the Finale and by george, it was pretty dog-gone entertaining. I loved the stars and the music and even some of the people who were voted off.

Then there was Dane Cook with his little song about Simon. Sorry didn’t get that and didn’t get what was going on on stage near the end of the song. I don’t think that was planned.

And the winner of American Idol Season 9 is…..

Lee DeWyze

Please take the poll below. I have a feeling how everyone is going to vote, but please take the few seconds to vote. Let’s hope next season is better and I am looking forward to America’s Got Talent. How about you?

American Idol – Missed

April 28th, 2010

What did you think about last night?

American Idol Top 8 Elvis Night

April 13th, 2010

American Idol 2010

Adam Lambert? OK. Not a favorite but what the heck and he’s giving advice? Don’t know how you feel, but neither one of us are millionaires so… we need to let it go. lol. On the other hand, he did give some good advice. Well, better than Miley Cyrus a few weeks ago. My opinion.

Crystal Bowersox: ***** Very nice job. I loved the way the song slowed and then she brought it home.

Andrew Garcia: * I miss the guy who was there trying out. I mean, the first time I saw him. This is just bad.

Tim Urban: ** OK. It was OK but it really didn’t go anywhere. But he did make it his own.

Lee Dewyze: **** Very nice job. But they are right. He needs to smile a bit or something.

Aaron Kelly: $$ Nope. I think he picked the wrong song.

Siobhan Magnus: *** I started off not liking her and was thinking 2 stars. Then, she picked it up and it was up to 4. But then she took the song up into the stratosphere again and I ended giving her 3 stars.

Michael Lynch: **** I thought it was a nice job. Should have never been in bottom 3 last week.

Katie Stevens: *** Not bad and better than last week.

Casey James: ** No way. In my opinion, he took a big step back. Sorry.

Going home? Aaron or Andy. Possibly Andy Garcia.

American Idol Top 9 McCartney and Lennon Night

April 6th, 2010

American Idol Top 9 McCartney and Lenon Night

McCartney and Lennon songs tonight and I am so glad. I don’t know how some of these folks are going to do them, but I guess we will hear.

Aaron Kelly: * The Long and Winding Road was too long for me from start to finish.

Katie Stevens: *** Let it Be. Nice job. I can see her in the country music industry.

Andrew Garcia: ** Money Can’t Buy Me Love. It sounded like a song from a disco show in the 80’s. Sorry.

Michael Lynch: **** Eleanor Rigby. Nice arrangement, nic job.

Cyrstal Bowersox: ***** I loved that arrangement of Come Together. I loved the arrangement as well and would be nice to hear that on the radio someday.

Tim Urban: ** He did All My Lovin. He did it staright with a couple of twists. Not bad, but not over the top either.

Casey James: *** I was skeptical when I heard he was going to do Jealous by Lennon, but he really pulled it off. Not bad at all. 3 stars.

Siobhan Magnus: *** Very nice and no screaming.

Lee Dewyze: *** He started off a little flat and also what I thought was a bit high of a key to start off with but did alright I guess.

Best of the night… Cyrstal Bowersox
Worse and going home…. My Pick: Aaron Kelly

American Idol buh bye to Did Benami night

March 31st, 2010

Rubin Studdard started the show off. Glad he’s doing great. Usher was the main attraction. For what, I don’t know. That was the nuttiest thing I’ve ever seen or heard. I think it was. lol. And he’s worth millions. The third performer was Pea Didi Dirty or something like that. He sang Hello, Hello, Good morning. Now there’s a hit if ever I heard one. lol. I must be getting old. OUCH.

Mary:
Bottom three: Katie, Tim and Didi. Going home? It should be Tim. He’s my pick

JoMama:
My pick to go home would be either or Andrew Garcia or Aaron Kelly or Siobhan Magnus

Sue:
It’s a toss-up for me whether Tim or Didi goes home, but I’ll pick Tim, as he’s been in the bottom 3 before.

Skipper:
Wish I had heard Didi but of the ones I heard, I’d say that Tim should go home. America probably won’t though because he’s cute like you know who was.

Kieto—-> Tim Urban

Bottom 3 were Katie Stevens, Didi Benami and Tim Urban.

Going home…. Didi Benami

Oh well. Tim Urban stays another week. grrr.

American Idol Top 10 with Usher

March 30th, 2010

I missed the first contestant. When I woke up from work and getting my head out of the PC, I turned it on and saw someone, I think it was Siobhan Magnus and it looked like she was upset. Dangit! I hope she didn’t mess up too bad.

Casey James : *** He did alright and surprised the heck out of me. It was electrifying. lol.

Michael Lynch: *** Nice job with that song. I would have gave him 5 stars but his voice cracked like mine does sometimes and I always take a star away from me when I do that. lol.

Didi Benami: * No way, no how, no more cheese for her. Gone.

Tim Urban: * Ouch and one more for the road… ouch!

Andrew Garcia: ** A little better than last week but I really thought from the beginning, he would make the final 5 but for the last few weeks, it’s been a tough seel for me. The judges were gaga though.

Katie Stevens: ** Geeze. Karaoke night at the bistro. Sheesh. But Randy said it was the best of the night and the judges are gaga again. OMG.

Lee Dewyze: **** Not bad for having walking pneumonia. Looks like the audience was digging it. I even gave 4 stars.

Cyrstal Bowersox: **** She did an excellent job. I know the piano thing when playing by memory. Especially these days. All in all, she has my vote as the best of the night.

Aaron Kelly: A bit pitchy here and there, but nothing to sneeze at. This is one of all time favorites and he did a ‘just alright’ job with it.

Although I missed the first contestant, I don’t think anyone could beat Tim Urban for the worse of the night.

Goin buh bye… got to be Tim Urban.

Best… Crystal Bowsersox.

American Idol Top 11 BYE BYE Paige

March 24th, 2010

Here’s what the gang said.

Skipper: To go home? Paige beat out Tim for low (wo)man on the totem pole tonight.

Mary: Going home: Has to be Paige.

Sue: if anyone but Paige goes home this week, America can borrow my hearing aids…

Joanna: I would pick Paige or Didi to go home. (first choice Joanna… ur in good company)

Kieto: Going home…. PAIGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bottom three was right on. Paige, Tim Urban and Katie Stevens.

Katie get’s another week and so does Tim Urban

Who went home…. was…..drum roll \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/….. PAIGE!!!

American Idol Top 11 Miley Cyrus

March 23rd, 2010

Tonight they pick a any song from Billboard which could be anything. Then they have the screecher come in, Myley Cyrus. Well, she has the money and the celeb but I have no idea what she she add here. She’s 17 and I just don’t get it. I’m telling you, American Idol just keeps getting better and better.

* = Just OK
** = Not Bad
*** = Good
**** = Very Good
***** = The Best

Lee Dewyze: ***: Singing ‘The Letter’. Joe Cocker? Nah. Not bad. A bit pitchy at times but you can get away with it in this song. Glad they are doing some upbeat stuff. Maybe I’ll stay awake.

Paige Miles: That was gastley, awful, horrible and bad. lol. I almost called 911. She has got to go~!!!! No one left to sing can top that. Or should I say bottom that.

Tim Urban: * Miley Cyrus says Tim Urban is great. Need I say more? ‘A little thing called love.’ Boring and not my cup of tea, beer, coffee or poison. But Miley thought he was great.

Aaron Kelley: ** Aaron is the one with tonsilitis and Ryan writes his meesage down on paper. HA! I gave him an extra star because his voice wasn’t 100%. He was better than Paige and Tim though. He’s a bit pitchy but then again, I’ve had tonsilitis and it ain’t fun.

Cyrstal Bowersox: ***** 5 stars. Miley thinks she can try harder. HAHAHA!!! She sings a Janis Joplin song and i’ve said all along she reminds me of her. Nice job. Much better than Miley Cyrus. And she took the song somewhere. Liked it.

Michael Lynch: ***** 5 Stars. Very nice job and was totally entertained. I must have missed something because some of the judges thought it wasn’t too good. Maybe they’re telling him this to keep his ego in check.

Andrew Garcia: ** 17 year old Miley gives him advice to lose the guitar. hmmm. I think he should have kept the guitar, swung it around and hit her in the head with it. But that’s me. Not a good song choice. He should try and maybe do something Hispanic. He’s a good scat singer too.

Katie Stevens: ** It started alright, but her voice doesn’t have that star quality. Sorry.

Casey James: *** Not a bad job – mediocre for me.

Did Benami: ** She has a unique voice. I liked the way she started but it became a little too pitchy at times for me.

Siobhan Magnus: ***** 5 Stars this week. She looked hot and sounded hot too. I had no idea who that was at first. What a change. A little screaming at the end, but I guess that was her thing there.

Going home…. PAIGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American Idol Voters Blow it!!

Tonight’s winners are: Skipper. I can’t win when I I pick 2. hahaha.

American Idol Top 12 Show 1

March 16th, 2010

Top 12 night and glad we’re down to it. This season has been kind of slow and hope it picks up. To me, and this is just my opinion, there are only 3 or 4 good singers. Michael Lynch, Crystal Bowersox, Sioban Magnus and Aaron Kelley. We’ll see.

* = Just OK
** = Not Bad
*** = Good
**** = Very Good
***** = Top 10 Material

Michael Lynch: **** First up, Michael. Nice job and nice falsetto. He played the stage and the audience too. Nice job.

Didi Benami: *** Not bad. She surprised me until she hit this one high note. lol

Casey James: *** Was missing something and I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it wasn’t loud enough or something. Usually, that’s not my complaint. Usually, it’s too loud.

Lacey Brown: *** Ya can’t fault a gal for learning to sing in church. She put her own little twist on this song but it seemed to me to be just alright. Nothing earth shattering.

Andrew Garcia: ** He has a little bit of Sting going for him. But this song wasn’t a good one for him I don’t think. Not only that, he was a bit pitchy here and there. But maybe that’s his style.

Katie Stevens: ** Oh my. She’s going astray. Sounded too karaoke to me.

Tim Urban: * Sorry. Man, I can’t see it. This guy is flat, and it’s amazing he’s made it this far.

Siobhan Magnus: *** I’ll still her 3 stars but she seemed a bit shakier than other performances. lol and cracked a few times at the end with them high notes. I’ll give her an ‘A’ for going for it.

Lee Dewyze: ** Just OK but better than the last few times.

Paige Miles: ** Sorry. Karaoke style. Just couldn’t get into it. Tried to. Added not here. Just found out she had laryngitis. Ouch. I’ll give her an extra star for that. So she get’s 2.

Aaron Kelley: *** I gave him three stars because I feel sad. hahaha.

Crystal Bowersox: ***** The best of the night. I’d buy her CD and I don’t buy any CD’s, lol.

The best… Cyrstal and Michael

Going home choices? Tim Urban and Paige Miles
