Now we are starting to get to the good part of the show! I know I am a day late but dang! I'll try to do better
although I'll be out of the country next week so I will be a few days late posting my review. Anyway, I have
bolded my favorites so far.
Simon's Best:"Do you want to keep the very attractive blond girl, or the other one?" "If it's any
consolation, you wouldn't have won anyway" "What ARE you wearing?"
Top 36 Contestants:Anoop - I support him because he's from NC and I do like his voice. What I don't like about him is his style. I think he needs a makeover and his eye is wonky but he can't really do anything about that.
Von Smith - who? He made no impression on me whatsoever. I don't see him going very far but you never know.
Alex - I liked him better than Cody but I still don't think he's all that great.
Adam Lambert - He has an "edgy" look so I think that had something to do with why he made it. I thought he was very dramatic with his singing and that he needs to tone it down.
Taylor
Vaifanua - I like her, she's cute and I like her voice, it is very pop sounding
Jasmine Murray - She is my favorite on the women's side so far.
Arianna Afsar - who? Again, someone that I don't remember at all. Perhaps they just haven't given her a lot of camera time.
Casey Carlson -
ummm...looks familiar but obviously not so great that I really remember how her voice sounds.
Megan
Corkery - I mean dang, did I miss an episode or something because I don't remember her EITHER!
Mishavonna Henson - OK, I remember liking her voice and she has a nice look
Stevie Wright - I really wish I could say more about these people. This is turning into just a list because again I don't really remember her.
Joanna
Pacitti -
ohh yeah, this is that girl that had already been signed..I read on another website that they put her through but then removed her, I wonder what happened.
Kendall Beard - She made it because she has the "
commericial" look. I thought her voice was alright but nothing super special
Kristen McNamara - her voice sounded better than Jenn to me even though I didn't like that she attempted Whitney. She does look a hot mess though!
Alexis Grace -
Whoo hooo. Her voice is excellent although I'm not feeling that pink in her hair. I wonder how she'll do away from her baby.
Scott
Macintyre - "Throw some shades on it", he sounds alright to me but I didn't particularly like his voice
Lil Rounds - Good choice, she is one of the best female singers in the comp. I knew she was going to make it because they keep playing up her back story. This should serve her well in the long run
Jessie - I don't think her look is as good as Frankie's but I liked her voice better so I'm glad she made it.
Allison
Irahtea - 16? She has on entirely too much makeup and does not look 16 at all...this is why you have to ask to see ID fellas! Oh, and I liked her voice,
haha.
Danny Gokey - He is my favorite contestant overall so far. I like the
raspyness of his voice.
Ricky
Braddy - who?
Matt Giraud - nice voice but something about him I didn't really like
Ju'Not Joyner - great voice, style improved since the audition show so that is a definite plus
Jorge Nunez - the next Enrique...sounds much better in Spanish than in English so we'll see how that plays out
Brent Keith - looks familiar but I don't remember his voice
Stephen Fowler - wonderful voice but he is a quitter so I don't think he deserved to get put through, oh and that hair is horrible....please cut it now!
Nick Mitchell - kind of surprising, kind of not. people will either love him or hate him, right now
i'm actually on the love side but we'll see what happens
Jackie
Tohn -
LOL @ her taking her shoes off. I like her, I hope she does well in the comp
Tatiana -
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!! How in HELL did she make it through???? Are you SERIOUS! This makes me want to stop watching the show. She gets on my nerves, I would be PISSED if I didn't make it through and she did!
Nathaniel - yes, what does he have on? I really think he made it because of entertainment value. He is a MESS, he is
soooo dramatic and he will get cut early
Jeanine
Vailes - I don't remember EVER seeing her
Kai
Kalama - good voice but didn't do that well in Hollywood, I'll have to reserve judgement until next week
Anne Marie Boskovich - have like her since her audition
Kris Allen - who?
Matt
Breitzke - great voice but it doesn't match his look to me
Michael Sarver - I think he is adorable and has a great voice
Tamara's Train of Thought:-It's already clear that they are going to drag the hell out of this.
-Sing Off!
LOL This is interesting
-Cody looks kind of scary and also like a girl
-I don't believe for a second that these people real care that the person they are singing against might go home....there can be only ONE American Idol!
-Dang you have to sit outside and listen to the person sing for your spot....that sucks
-If you don't want to sing against your "friends" then why are you in the competition? You will be singing against everyone else every night you sing.
-
LOL @ Ryan saying that the sing-off is
awkward and uncomfortable when I"m sure it was partially his idea to do it this way.
-I hate how they play with people, "it isn't good news....it's great news!" Just say yes or no, playing games does not make it more entertaining for me
-I thought they were cutting people that forgot the words? I guess not......
-They are so dramatic at how they cut people, this has to be soul-crushing
-I wonder if her husband resents getting cut before her
-
LOL @ how Simon just cuts to the chase
-Simon is clearly ALL about the looks!
-If you can't leave your baby then don't.
-Some of these people already look better from their original audition
-Frankie needs a better bra
-These grown men crying like little girls is both sad and hilarious at the same time
-They are so dramatic with this
seperation of the
BFFs, doesn't it really matter?? I mean once again, they both can't win.
-How are they going to get rid of Jamar and let some of those other clowns (Nate) get through? I didn't particularly like him and I definitely didn't see him winning the whole thing but he was better than some of the people that made it over him.
-I don't like who say they will do anything to make it through
-
LOL @ some people's faces when Nick made it through and at Nathaniel jumping out to hug him
-I can't stand how Tatiana is so FREAKING EXTRA. She acted a plum fool in that room.
-
LMAO @ Simon calling Paula out for promoting her jewelry on the show
-
ROTFLMAO @ people's reaction when Tatiana came out of the room, especially Nathaniel's
-Hell to the
naw @ those skinny jeans....his story is sad but that still doesn't excuse that horrible outfit
-I don't like overly dramatic people, which is why I am not a fan of Nathaniel OR Tatiana and the fact that they both made it through really upsets me
-I'm not sure what the expect when they put someone on the spot to sing at one of the biggest moments in their lives
-Why do they always have them dancing at the end looking extremely stupid
