@AndyShore I could probably make it the top 6 after this week. There’s really only 3 girls and 3 guys worthy of being on this show. Paige Miles was terrible on Tuesday. Katie Stevens was too. The guys didn’t have as many lows, but I am not an Aaron Kelly fan at all. I have a feeling that some of the singers I like might be in trouble. I have a very different taste in music than the tween girls that vote for this show. Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore I decided to forgo the live blog last night in favor of going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. I should have stuck with Idol. Visually the movie was fantastic, and Helena Bonham Carter was too. The story was mediocre at best. Johnny Depp played the Madhatter as the love child of Willy Wonka and Captain Jack Sparrow. Let’s hope the guys’ performances are better. It’s time for Tim Urban to go home. I’m sick of him. Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore I think it’s about time someone stepped up and separated themselves from the pack. Lee Dewyze started to do that last week, but it still wasn’t a performance I’ll remember forever. I don’t even remember what song he sang. Lilly Allen is my favorite from the girls. She’s the most unique Idol contestant (with talent) they’ve had in a long while. Maybe ever. I actually look forward to her performances. I also look forward to not hearing Haeley Vaughn. Siobhan Magnus is also a force to be reckoned with. That performance of “Think” was ridiculous.

@AndyShore There are going to be some contestants that survive tonight that should really go. Haeley Vaughn is going to be one of them. Michelle Delamor deserves to go home, just for singing Creed. The judges killed Didi Benami, but I hope she gets another shot. Tim Urban better not make it another week. He’s had more than enough chances. I didn’t like Aaron Kelly’s performance either, but I have a feeling he doesn’t go home. Speaking of which… Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore There are still very few stars in this competition after last night. Lee Dewyze stood out above the rest. Andrew Garcia was solid and we saw much improved performances out of Big Mike Lynche and Alex Lambert. Hopefully the girls can step it up a little more than the guys did. The producers kept saying all day long that if Crystal Bowersox wasn’t well enough to perform, she would be disqualified and only one girl would go home. They drew it out long enough to create suspense, but Seacrest Tweeted earlier that she would perform. It would have been a shame if she had to go home without putting up a fight.

@AndyShore The performances were sub par from both sexes last week. Very few, if any, contestants shined in their big stage debuts. The top ten girls were supposed to perform tonight, but a mystery illness from Crystal Bowersox threw a cog in that plan. The guys are going a night early, with the hopes that Bowersox will be healthy enough to go tomorrow. Andrew Garcia disappointed last week, and not because he chose to sing Fall Out Boy. His performance just wasn’t that great. Hopefully he will redeem himself this week. Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore Overall, it was a less than spectacular week one from American Idol. My favorite of the girls, Ashley Rodriguez, might be in trouble. Joe Munoz unexpectedly stood out from the guys. After Idol played up the chemistry between Casey James and Kara, her husband is sitting front and center. Tim Urban and Tyler Grady should go home from the guys. I’m not as sure about the girls, but I do hope Haeley Vaughn is one of them. Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore After the talk of it being the girl’s year, they didn’t deliver last night. Hopefully the guys will be better tonight. I didn’t see anybody last night that I thought could be a threat to Andrew Garcia. I would have said the same thing about the girls and Ashley Rodriguez last night, and she wound up being one of the worst performances of the night. The sports fan in me wants to say, “that’s why the play the game.” Let’s hope there’s a few more contestants that open some eyes tonight. Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore Tonight the top 12 girls perform on American Idol. I’m looking forward to seeing full performances from each contestant. They keep talking about how much talent there is from the girl’s side this year, but only Ashley Rodriguez has stood out to me. She’s also the hottest. Not a coincidence, but she’s got a great set of pipes. I do also recall Didi Benami and Janell Wheeler. Read the rest of this entry »

@AndyShore Last night we discovered seven of the top 24 of American Idol Season 9. Tonight we find out the other 17. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Andrew Garcia and Ashley Rodriguez are part of that group. Much like the contestants, Ellen is coming into her own this week in Hollywood. She has the hang of messing with the contestants, and has actually been able to offer valid criticisms. I hope that we don’t see the contestants repeat songs four and five times over tonight. I’ve had enough of “I’m Yours” and “Man in the Mirror” for one week. Read the rest of this entry »
