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.
