Whoo Hoo Janay is gone!! *coughs* Just had to get that out of my system. Moving on!
Another week of American Idol gone by and once again I’m disappointed in the American voters. They did alright though, I only disagree with one of the four they voted off this week. With the four gone, we are left with the final twelve and I think there is some serious competition this year. I still think there is much stronger competition on the men’s side, but it’s still early in the game. I don’t know if the men will be as flexible when it comes time for the themed competition. Can I really see Bo singing Disco or Scott singing peppy pop songs? Eh, not really. It really is anyone’s game at this point. Anyone but one but I’ll get to that later.
Last four contestants voted off: Travis Tucker, Nikko Smith, Janay Castine and Amanda Avila
Travis Tucker – This guy had all the moves and a beautiful smile. I was actually surprised he didn’t slip by on the Hottie Vote but I wasn’t all that shocked when I saw him go. He seemed to put more effort into the choreography than he did into his singing, which was a mistake. Whew, could that boy move though!
Nikko Smith – This is the one that shocked me. I was positive he would easily make it into the top 12 and possibly even the top 3.. I literally gasped out loud when I saw him left behind. Paula said the top 12 wouldn’t be the same without him and she was right. Bad move America, this guy was great!
Janay Castine – It’s about damn time!! I don’t know how this youngster made it to the top 12 eliminations but I’m happy to see people finally came to their senses and turfed her. She couldn’t sing and she always looked slightly mentally challenged. Thank god she’s gone! Don’t let the door hit you on your way out!!
Amanda Avila – Another one I thought might slip by on the Hottie Vote, even Simon had the hots for this one. She has a nice voice but didn’t manage to make the best of it before the voters sent her packing. Oh well, sucks to be her.
Carrie Underwood – Sang “Because You Loved Me” this week, was good but didn’t excite me that much. She seems to take the negative comments of the judges a bit to heart and that affects her following performance. Hopefully she’ll be back to her old self in the upcoming competitions. I like her a lot.
Nadia Turner – I said it before and I’ll say it again, this girl KICKS ASS! She sang “Try a Little Tenderness” and rocked her way into the top 12. Much the same as she will probably do with the top 6, top 3 and quite possibly to the very end.
Mikalah Gordon – Sucked the big one this week with Streisand’s “Somewhere”. What on earth was she thinking? It was terrible! Good thing it wasn’t totally dependant on this performance or she’d be out like yesterday’s news. I think she’ll last a while but it’s very doubtful that she’ll win.
Lindsey Cardinale – Oh please, I’ve not seen a good show out of her yet. Don’t know what she sang, that’s how special it was. She is so ordinary and just blends into the background.. everything about her is just -meh-! Aloha Mischeaux should have been sitting in that chair. Americans are retarded.
Vonzell Solomon – Strutted up on stage in a pair of cowboy boots and hat singing “Respect”. While I didn’t dig the outfit, I thought it was sweet that she actually wore it on TV because her dad bought it for her. She’s got great moves, a great voice and will go far in the competition.
Jessica Sierra – This girl breathed new life into “The Boys Are Back In Town” with her sexy growling voice. They really need to stop talking to her backstage though. She’s so fake and blatantly trying to be “cool”, I find it annoying. Plus, her teeth are really weird. She’s ok… not someone I think will be leaving soon but not a favorite either.
Bo Bice – Think it goes without saying that this guy is my favorite. Not because I think he’s the best singer, I just think he’s sexy as H-E-DoubleHockeySticks! This week he sang “I’ll Be” and lemme tell ya, what he better BE is around for a long time because I think I’ll weep the day he’s voted off.
Anwar Robinson – If I had to pick one person right now to win, it would be Anwar. He sang “What a Wonderful World” and he shocked me. When it started I was bored, by the end I was making Xander sit down and watch a replay. So nice, so cute, such a great singer… I think he’s going to win.
Mario Vazquez – What a cutie! This week he sang “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”, which wasn’t my favorite but was still good. I miss him in his funky hats, I hope he goes back to his usual look again and his funky songs. He’s really great at that.. Still holding him in the possible top 3.
Anthony Federov – Don’t even remember what he sang, don’t care and all I remember was that it sucked. Still waiting for him to fall off the stage and land on his face. Who is voting for this guy?! Whoever you are, you deserve a kick in the shins. Sure he has a good voice but ugh, everything else about him is just…. ugh!
Scott Sevol – THIS is the one I do NOT agree with. What kind of retards vote out Nikko and keep this jackass?! Did you people even see the trials in Hollywood? Have you forgotten already what an antisocial, psychotic, concieted, nasty piece of work this guy is? Gawd! As my sister says, he looks “Special Needy”.. his moves on stage are pathetic and his atittude STINKS! Bad bad move keeping him instead of Nikko.. bad move.
Constantine Maroulis – This week he sang “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. Didn’t thrill me.. didn’t turn me off… I’m sort of indifferent. At first I was really into him but lately I feel as though he’s hanging on by a thread. I think it’s only a matter of a few weeks before he has to go, sadly.
CLIP WORTHY
Once again, I didn’t have it in me to leave my fellow Bo fans wanting. Just in case you missed it I have made a clip of him singing “I’ll Be”! I also made clips of my two other favorite performances of the week.
Bo Bice singing “I’ll Be”
Anwar Robinson singing “What a Beautiful World”
Nadia Turner singing “Try a Little Tenderness”
PREDICTIONS
Next Three Voted Off – Scott, Constantine and Lindsey
Top Five – Anwar, Mario, Anthony, Nadia and Carrie
Winner – Anwar
David thinks Bo is hotter than Constantine, too. My reaction was huh? But I think Bo’s bound for a higher ranking. Constantine doesn’t seem to care about winning AI, does he? He’s got this “I don’t care” air…
