American Idols Boys Murdered by American Idols Girls
Granted last week the guys did get better that their awful performances of the week before but even at their best they are no match for the top girls. And Sinjia won't be able to keep hanging in there with the teeny booper vote if he doesn't get his stuff together and break out with a song more in line with what he sang at his original audition. That suited him, nothing since then has fit. Just because you like to sing other forms of music doesn't mean that you can make it as an American Idol in those genres.' He's a cute kid I'd like to see him get it figured out.
I'm not sure who Simon is talking about with the prima donna attitudes but it sure would be fun to know. It always makes me crazy when they stand up there and get advice on how to be a star and act like they know better. If they knew better, they wouldn't need American Idol, now would they.
So hopefully this week, Sundance has not lost the old Sundance we finally got to see again last week. Although in my book he still has a long way to go to even touch the top girls. I think that Chris is good but also needs to step it up a bunch to catch the girls. I was sorry to see AJ go, I thought there was potential there.Personally, I'm still longing for some beautiful blue or brown eyes like we've had in seasons past but guess I'lll be waiting another year. No heart throbs for me in the guys this year.
I think the only things saving American Idol for me this year is the girls. They definitely have some pipes in this group. My favorites are Lakisha and Melinda. After those two I would say American Idol favorites for me would be Stephanie, Sabrina and Jordin, not necessarily in that order. What was the deal with Simon telling the girls how to dress. Personally, I liked Lakisha's clothes this last week better than the week before. Dressing her plus size figure tastefully must be a challenge but with that voice she could wear a gunne sack and still walk all over the boys.
Now we're onto another week tonight. I'll have to have it videoed. I have a darn meeting. But you can get I'll be watching to see if the guys have really figured out how to step it up in time with the girls. If not, they better watch out. the top 6 will all be female. Wouldn't that be an American Idol first...........
If it doesn't get real interesting soon, I'm going to have to restrict my television watching to soap operas. Watch out All My Children, here I come.

OK, OK, We made it through the Guys! YUK!
OK, I haven't posted because I really don't know what to say. I know they're not usually all that good right at the beginning but at least there's someone you can look at and see they're going to be a heart trob! A Constantine, an Ace , heck even Clay had that twinkle in his eye. They keep telling us this is going to be the best Idol yet and I'm looking at theses guys that sang last night and wondering what in the heck were they thinking.
The young kid from Seattle, Sanjaya, now why would he let his sister pick his song choice? She got booted off the show. I remember the auditions in Seattle she sang this mechanical thing that sounded like she was singing something someone else picked out for her. She wasn't connected to the music at all. Then he sang a totally different kind of song. He had confidence, the song had spark. It sounded like that was his kind of song. So he gets to THE most important night of his life and lets his sister pick that sappy song.....give me a break! I want to like you (I like to root for the underdog and he's the youngest) but you're making it hard.
Sundance, not much better. Actually, I think Sundance was probably worse, much worse, well how about, the worst. I haven't liked him since the auditions (but there I have to say I agreed with the judges, I thought he had promise). I don't know if it's nerves or what, but baby you suck! The promise was empty and still coming out your nose! It's sad to see somebody with that kind of talent falling on his face.......need I say more. If you need more input than this check out phillyburbs He's a bit mean to them but I think he's right on about their talent so far.
Other than that, nobody really struck me one way or the other. So I'm back to the premise of my first post, why am I still sitting here watching this and will the girls be any better. Let's hope so or I may spend my time here at the computer instead of on the TV

No One Is Sicker of Tryouts on American Idol Than Me!
After I don’t remember how many night of sitting in front of the television watching this year’s new season of American Idol I can’t help but wonder what in the world was I thinking? Now I know that there are blogs out there already like PhillyBurbs who are already predicting who the top 24 will be..............But PLEEEEEEZE, I haven’t even gotten over the hurling because of the tryouts.
How much of America is going to forgive them for that horrible crap they called entertainment? While it may have been a tad amusing the first year, by now it is nothing but very old, boring and predictable. The only reason our household watched at all was to get a glimpse of who the talent would be. Since I’m terrible with names I thought maybe I’d get a jump on it but starting out at the beginning but that’s a joke. When they finally do let us see someone with talent my poor brain is so numbed out by the wailings and blubbering of the tone deaf, oblivious throngs that get in front of the camera that it can’t even process a name.
I swear the powers that be at Idol better be careful, if they try to force feed us another year of this tryout crap and it continues to focus on the no-talents, I think they are cutting their own throats. Maybe the die-hard Idol groupies will tolerate this outlandish behavior but the rest of America is not so tolerant. We want to see an honest attempt to find some talent or forget it. We’re not dumb enough to believe that in those thousands of Idol wantabes that show up to audition at each city there are that many gross people trying out and only a handful of good ones. We know you’re sending some good ones home before they ever get to sing for the judges because you think it’s more entertaining to see the goofballs. With the choices you’ve been making the odds are you’ve left the REAL Idol standing out the street so what’s the point of watching, anyway.
