another week ... more ramblings from good 'ol me.
so the guys performed again last night, and for the most part most of them were decent again. for alot of them, it's going to all come down to song choice/personality.
man, Sandy your boy David Hernandez ROCKED it last night. i thought he had the best performance of the night. which most people would have given to David Archuleta, but meh, he's being far too pimped right now. i'll tell you too, it's so different watching the performances then just listening to them w/out looking at the tv. people you think are bad really aren't, its all a matter of how distracting their stage presence may be.
rankings for last night:
1. David Hernandez - awesome awesome awesome. both when i watched it and when i just listened to it. he's really got a great voice, he may be a dark horse.
2. David Archuleta - yeah yeah, the kids cute and adorable and you want to squish him and he's got good vocals, but from what i hear, he's just regurgitating the songs he sang while on Star Search, and if thats the case then that's lame and he needs to step outside and do something different. he still needs to work on articulating.
3. Michael Johns - oh my boy. while watching his performance i didn't think it was super great, he seemed to be distracted by something and was all over the stage. but when i just listened to the song, it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone was making it out to be. i do know that i'm not a fan of his wife though, she seems like a bitch. she doesn't clap for anyone when they show her on the screen and shes been rude to people on myspace. *hiss*
4. Jason Castro - while everyone else wants to squish David A. i want to squish Jason. i think he is SUPER adorable, and he's there truly just to be able to have his music/voice heard. he was another one that wasn't nearly as bad as Simon made him out to be. it was a nice vocal.
5. David Cook - i again think there is something that is missing w/ him, and i can't pinpoint what it is. he definitely knows how to rock it and feels much more comfortable with his guitar. i think the whole little thing w/ Simon at the end could hurt him though.
6. Danny Noriega - lol, i have a hard time watching Danny b/c he looks like a girl and sometimes resembles Jessica Alba. i can't deny the fact though that he does have a decent voice.
7. Chikezie Eze - he was better this week than last, though it still wasn't overly supurb. Elliott Yamin sang that same song and was AWESOME on it. that's why i think you should stick to songs that no past idol has done on the show, b/c you're going to be compared.
8. Robbie Carrico - Justin lookalike did ok. he's still in the bottom of the rockers and i think will be the casuality of them all.
9. Luke Menard - thank god for him he's cute. his vocals were so not that great so i was a little surprised at all the praise from the judges. i think he could be in danger of leaving.
10. Jason Yeager - *yawn* not only are his vocals super sucky, but he has to be the most boring guy in the top 10. during his little video before he sang i was bored to pieces. if he doesn't leave this week i'll be upset.

YEY Keisha has my man at #1. Isn't he amazing Keisha...go David Hernandez.
Archuletta is a child prodigy. I really want him to win. He's an amazing singer.
Cook did his thing. Any guy who sings and plays guitar is hot in my book.
Luke reminds me of a singer from broadway - he's too Clay Aiken for me.
Michael - it was rough opening the show, and some notes he hit were off, but he still has a nice face. Plus he has a lot of women votes, so I expect him to stick around.
Chekezie brought the house down. He was great!!!
I agree with both your bottom pick -Luke and Jason SHOULD be going home.

OMG! Thats awesome, Blake is onea my fav idol contestants. Of course, after Carmen.
Also, I was watching some random VH1 show, I dunno what it's even called...it's about some comedy radio show "Idiot on the morning" or something, and famous people come to do interviews. Blake was on it, you should watch it. The show isn't all that bad, I mean the male radio host is obnoxious to all the famous people - it's pretty rad.

1. Ramiele Malubay - She's amazing. Her and both David's FTW! 2. Kady Malloy - I love her. She just really needs to BRING IT next week if she survives. 3. Syesha Mercado - Great voice!!!! 4. Alexandrea Lushington - I love her style! 5. Amanda Overmyer - This girl is rad, she needs to show me something different if she wants me to be a fan 6. Carly Smithson - in the middle of the pack 7. Alaina Whitaker - in the middle of the pack 8. Asia'h Epperson - Horrible way to close the show. 9. Kristy Lee Cook - She's already had a recording contract - she's nothing special. 10. Brooke White - Holy crap I just think she can't sing very well. This is a singing competition. She fades for me, but everyone loves her.

so the boys vote off wasn't anything too surprising last night.
but wow, i wasn't expecting Alaina to go. based on solely singing Elvira Mistress of The Dark should have left. she was even horrible singing their group song last night.
80's week next week supposedly. i'm hoping to hear INXS from my guy Michael.

omg yeah, Elvira singing in the group last night, my mom looked at me and asked if she was serious. haha. poor amanda turnover. carry on my wayward son is like one of my alltime favorite songs, too bad she butchered it.
i'm so glad kady malloy got saved. she was even shocked, haha!
robbie couldn't sing, sorry.
and the other dude with the fricking blonde beak coming out of his head. yeah byeee.

kk, here's my thoughts/rantings on last nights show...
1. Jason Castro -- i love love love the song that he sang, so he automatically got some extra points in my book for that one, but i thought he did a really nice job w/ the song. it was nice to see him lose the guitar and just sing. he's just super adorkably cute too.
2. Michael Johns -- i was a little iffy on the song when he started singing it, i didn't think it was right for him, but he quickly proved me wrong. the only thing that bothers me with my boy is his wierd mannerisms when he sings. he's bouncy and it's a little distracting.
3. David Cook -- interesting take on the song he did, though i thought he did it well. the judges were right in that it could be re-released the way he did it and it would be a hit again. i obviously don't think he's going to win or anything, but i just genuinely like the guy.
4. David Archuleta -- i'm beginning to think i'm the ONLY one in America who doesn't really like him. i think he's a bit overrated. sure his vocals are decent for a little boy, but that's about where it stops.
5. David Hernandez -- Sandy, your boy didn't do as well last night as last week. ... i found it a bit odd he picked the random Celine Dion song. there were parts in it that were really good, but then other parts were just awkward and not so good.
6. Luke Menard -- i know that he's not nearly as good as some of the others, but when he sings songs that really fit his voice like the one last night, he's not bad at all and he's just so damn pretty to look at. i don't think he's going to make it through this week though.
7. Chikezie Eze - meh. whatever. i really have no thoughts on him whatsoever. he's just kinda there.
8. Danny Noriega -- gah, this kid annoys me. his attitude. his thinking that he's the best ever. his not overly great vocals. i'd LOVE to see him get the boot, but that's not going to happen. *sigh*
it was funny the controversies that came out last night about David Hernandez and Danny Noriega. frankly, i don't give a crap that David Hernandez used to strip at a gay bar. he's hot, more power to him, and the fact tha they were actually saying that *THAT* may have gotten him booted off the show was hilarious to me.
i think Danny Noriega's little video Christmas rant was worse than David's. telling people that he hopes Santa rapes their mothers. yeah ok. freak.
who i hope leaves: Danny and Chikezie who will probably leave: Luke and Chikezie
unless there is some MAJOR vote shocker this week.

1. Jason Castro is definitely the most original singer in the competiton. His Hallelujiah song last night was impressive. 2. Danny Noriega singing Tainted Love was so fun. If only he stopped francing around stage like a fairy. He rubbed his chest and hips much too often last night haha. Still he deserves top 6 men. I disagree Keisha, I think he's fun. Annoying was Sanjya - Danny is fierce. 3. David Archuleta - I didn't think he was amazing last night but he's a male frontrunner for sure. Keisha how is he overrated!?!? Lmao. I dont think ANY of the dudes can sing how he can. His high notes and riffs, none of the other guys holds a candle to this kid. He's just too talented. 4. David Cook - Still great. 5. I love my some Hernandez but he chose Celine? Out of every fucking song to choose you choose "It's All Coming Back To Me Now?" LMAFO! It's be one thing to choose that song and sing it amazingly, but it just kicked his ass. Wayy wayy to big for his voice. Also, Simon said he definitely earned a spot in the top 12 with that song...wtf...was he even listening. Hernandez's rendition of the song was hideously horrible in every way 6. Michael Johns - I didn't think he was great, but he has one of the best voices in the competition. He's safe for now. 7. Chekeizie - Althought I do think this guy has a great voice, his song choice last night was horrible. Also if you're going to close the show you better wow me and he didn't . 8. Luke- The producers put this guy up first to sing cuz they know he sucks. Um..and his intro video hes in a dress and makeup - then he comes out singing and George Michael song...Luke is totally telling america something. He SUX!
