Idol boys, full of themsleves

First of all, I am tired of most every guy getting on stage already aware of what a superstar they are and can't wait to show you.  I hated the pre-singing pompous interviews..."Well, you can't miss a note.."  and  "When you're doin a show..."   blah blah blah, i get it, you are all pros, you're serious singers....Just get up there a sing and get over yourself, just because you made the top 20 doesnt mean you are the best.....leave "some" of your confidence at the stage entrance please...

okay....

Chekezie:

I liked the way you said the real pronunciation of your name, it reminded me of my time in Africa, but thats about all I liked, I've decided you look like Gary Coleman and Carlton from Fresh Prince had a baby and it was full of him self

Danny Noriega:

thanks for not wearing the pants with no secrets again

David Archuleta:

Great job, see you next week, you didnt miss a beat or a note, GREAT song choice, i dont want to put you in my purse yet, but maybe hang you from my rearview mirror like Paula said

David Cook:

You were more in your element, its okay too be a little bald on top, it really is

David Hernandez:

sounded good, you are still weird to watch, be a back up singer

Jason Yeager:

you seemed really defeated when you heard your feedback, you made a good point that you tried to do what they said, I liked that you said that next week you were gonna sing from your heart since the times you tried to please the judges didnt work, HONEST singing works, good for you, show your range like you said, i want to hear it, I was intrigued

Luke:

blech...you are B -O-R-I-N-G...WHY ARE YOU STILL HEAR?!?!?!?  GO AWAY.....

Michael:

Hot, Australian, RockStar, nothings changed

Robbie:

American Idol you are not, glad you lost the BAD-danna on your head, though

and now....

drumm rollll................(drum roll..................)

JASON CASTRO!!!!!!

I still want to be behind the hometown hero thing, sue me

I thought you were fabulous and kinda magical, not because of the way you sang but because you had the amazing ability to make Paula Abdul sound articulate!  She was dead on in her feedback that she had for you.

Bless your heart, though.  I laughed so hard at your interview before the song, you can't fake that.  I could just see the executives going, "Try it one more time"  "Try it this afternoon"  "Try it tomorrow"  "Maybe we can edit an interview together"  "What's wrong with this guy?"  "Okay, just run a montage of all the weirdness, we'll go with that" Lol, lol....My favorite is when you talked about your weird faces that you make and that you were surprised about all the NON music stuff like pictures and talking that you had to do!

I love it

I know that you are kinda new at performing as a singer, I think you are great.  You are not going to win American Idol by using your guitar every time and staying "all the way" in your shell.  Be like a snail and just poke your head out a little bit to move yourself along.  To be an American Idol you have to be comfortable with your talent.  You can do it.  

Im ready to see Brooke and Carly and Syesha tomorrow.

american idol sicko girls

okay , the girls are sick, got it

well , they sang like it, too

i felt like most of them were holding back

heres the REcap...

Kristy- WHERE are your eyes? You could only see them when you bugged them out, it was wierd

if you WERE sick, i hope to eventually hear you sing OUT LOUD, i needed "rescuing" from your song

Joanne-you have a gay following already , i know it, good job singing but i know you can do better

Alaina- you DID not hold back, I loved it, a little young, a little cocky, but your performance was GREAT, I predict you will be a contender

Amanda-please dont go, please dont go please dont go please dont go ba da ba de be da ba blah bah  blah blah...please DO go, and soon...you one trick pony...ride away on it...giddy ap!

Amy Amy Amy....woa....when those first two sour notes seeped out of your face i had to pause the tv and stare at my family with bug eyes,they stared back... what are you doing in the top 24?  ewwwww

Brooke- you are so sweet, i got a toothache watching you sing, cant wait till you sing something you are more comfortable with, still one of my faves, i liked it, GO CURLY HAIR!

Alexandrea- you gave me chills and you rocked it out, but why were you dressed like me in highschool circa 1983? Wasnt it a 60's song?

Kady- wow, i do think the Brittany impersonating thing is wierd and annoying, but for some reason I like it (maybe because imitating people is something i enjoy as well?)  

YOU my dear , are a wonderful singer, cant WAIT to hear more, I agree with the judges, LET IT GO!  LET IT OUT! You are a power singer and I want to hear it ALLLLLL!

Asia'h-Im tired of you, it bothers me that you dont enunciate...yawn

Ramiele- your voice doesnt match your face, it ooogs me out, LOVE your hair and make up though

Syesha- YES YES YES.. GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH, ROCKED OUT WITH YOU AND MADE ME PLAY AIR GUITAR AND WRITE IN ALL CAPS!   WOO HOO!

Carly-still a fan, cant wait to hear you rock out soon, sorry you were sick, its my opinion that you are holding back because of all the hype around you and you are trying to be humble....get over it...be yourself and SIIIIIIING GIRL! Even if you dont win American Idol, your voice is out there again, you'll make it!

Did you see Jason in the background?  Go JASON!

By the way, I feel like  a HUGE hypocrite ragging on and judging these people when I am going to try out for ROCKWALL idol tonight.  Dont come.  Dont blog about me.  I'm already my toughest critic BELIEVE me...

IDOL...what a day for a daydream

Are you ready for some IDOOOOOOOOOOOOl!?!?!?

So I had to wait until 8:30 to start watching, we like to watch as a family and everyone had something going on so I decided to distract myself from the anticipation with a bath.  Cell phone ringing, I knew without looking it was Laura.  WHAT could she want?  Was it good, bad, WHAT?!  I knew if she was calling it must be "call worthy".   Afraid of what the message she left would say, I texted her back and told her I wasnt able to watch yet.   There was only one thing on mind.

Jason , hometown boyeee, was singing tonight.  For WHATEVER reason, Idol has chosen NOT to let America hear him sing until tonight.

Sitting down on the couch with remote, that I demanded be in my hand, I announced to the family that I was going to fast forward to Jason because I couldn't stand to wait and find out if he had performed well or not.  Similarly, this is my behavior at Christmas when wrapped gifts sit tauntingly under the tree with my name on them.  I just cant wait.   My family said no and if I wanted to do that, that I could go in the other room.  Fine.  So there I watched.

Painfully through all of them before I got to hear Jason.  And here is my take on them:

Chikeze-easy on the Popsicle orange suit and alligator shoes...from now on you are "Pops"...oh well it distracted a "Little bit" from the fact that you can't carry a tune in a bucket, and I hate when contestants get all cocky and mouth the judges on the first night....

Colton-"theater kid"  I cant watch him sing without picturing him wearing a newsboy hat and smudges of soot on his face like in some stage production of Charles Dickens something or another...next, and no curtain call

Danny- there is an empty closet somewhere that he was never in and every syllable that comes out of his mouth reminds me of that fact, no thank you, and CALM DOWN!!!!!!!

David Archuletta-sweet David, get in my purse (only some people know what that means, sorry if you are out of the loop), as a mom I want to take you home and feed you sandwiches and wipe your nose, as a fan I think you are great, as a singer , however, I want you to be able to breath deeply and sufficiently for your song, the gasps are distracting, but I love you, you have heart

David Cook-shave your head, we all know you are bald and you have wierd lips, I dont even remember what you sang.

David Hernandez- (whats up with all the Davids?) If I look away from the TV I think your voice is amazing, then I look back and its "oh yeah" ..."its you and your wierdee faces you make"  and your affectations in between words is overdone...stop it

Garrett-"muppet"... Surprisingly enough, I liked you....i thought you took your criticism well and your voice is sweet and on key, maybe eventually you will come out of your shell and out from underneath your hair

Jason Yeager-first of all, you look like a skunk, hopefully you'll never have to stand by the skunk girl on the girls side of the top 12, I thought your voice was beautiful, i get a good feeling from you, not sure if you can be diverse enough though

Michael- you're hot, you're from Australia, you're a rock star, not sure if you'll win, but you'll be famous, love it

Luke - wow....quit now, you are horrible and forgettable, and you're kind of a nerd...not the good kind of nerd that's like you can transform them on beauty and the geek, the yuck kind that thinks he's a cool hip guy and really hes not and never will be and you absolutely cannot sing...too harsh? try too true.

Robbie-guns and roses you are not, give it up, go home...thtptttrpptttt! thumbs down and raspberry spitting

Is that it? No wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

JASON!

I was so nervous.  I have never heard him sing and wanted so bad to be able to get behind someone from my hometown.  He did not disappoint.  So charming, so humble, so natural, so cute and so talented.  ANd what a wonderful choice of song, he probably does feel like he's in a daydream.  I also thought it was cool that his "fans" gathered at LAkePointe Church and that they were on the news last night talking about him.

I hope he performs well every time,  its stressful, I really liked when he said "this is scary up here"....so cute.    

first blaaah-g and spaghetti

so when people get a blog , at first do they just goo on a rant and gripe about stuff, cuz that's what I wanna do....but I shall resist

I'll just begin by writing about whuts goin own in my life...thats what ive seen other people do so i'll try that first....but i bet i'll just end up gripin....(is rant a word? i think i should have used rampage or tangent)   ( is that how you spell tangent?  t an geant....tan....whatever)

so i went to lo jack's house for spaghetti

it was nice

nice to see a friend i can be honest and real with

someone i have memories with

someone who wants to tell me to get out because its so late but i wont stop talking long enough so she doesnt, sorry laura, you are just such a good listener and i love you

and I wonder what mallory meant by "You dont seem like the kind of girl that everyone would like in highschool"  what the heck does that mean?

well, i liked everybody anyway, except for that one girl, she was evil and she made my mom cry

who can like someone like that?  its impossible

i just dont remember anyone not liking me, well except for Angie, Christina and Darren

i think it all had something to do with prom and drill team, i never reaaly figured that out

i know it ended in a fist fight at the car wash and then Christina was my friend afterwards i think, i never talked to angie again and i saw darren at some random church years later and i guess we just all put it behind us, or at least i did.....

well there's my first blah-g

and i loOOOOOOOOooove the way Courtney tells stories, its my favorite
