American Idol does Country

Now... Melinda, where has she been hiding! What a great performance, lots of sass and style. She and Jordin are the contenders.

LaKisha, good but not great.

Blake ... well... not impressive.

Sings "A Broken Wing"

Jordin is still our pick for the one with that "it" factor. Her song made us tear up...


Phil was the surprise. He was awesome!


Sanjaya wasn't even entertaining. We don't hate him... we just don't think he is a talented singer... although his "Latin" performance was decent. It is time to go home, we think.


When Chris did his rendition of Rascal Flatts, Mayberry, it was preceded by an intro... where he said he was from Virginia. The Judges criticized him for not connecting with the song ...did they just use selective hearing?!!! The boy said he is from Virginia!!! We are sure his heart and mind are somewhere in Blacksburg. We felt for him so much! Good, bad, or ugly, it was clear where his thoughts were. We think he could have cared less about what Simon had to say...and certainly cannot fault his feelings. We hope Chris will be with us after tomorrow.


- Our prayers are with all those touched by the Virginia Tech Murders. We can only hope that the support from all of us can give you the strength you need to get through this...God bless and keep you.


As for the elimination... can we say Sanjaya? He so out classed by the rest.

Toodles!

Top 9 American Idol - no break aways

Although both performances given by Haley and Gina were both very lack luster, we think Haley should have been the one to go. She clearly has less talent... but we suppose she is simply more entertaining than just a good voice.

We have our eyes on Jordin. We think she has that it factor of the contestants there...
but we have to say that there doesn't seem to be a real stand out.... As for Sanjaya, at some point the joke will get old.


Although we have a fav, Jordin, we are really not very impressed the entire line up. No amazing stand outs.

Oh well, we are sure Simon knows best.

Toodles.

American Idol - swoons and tunes

We must admit ... we hate getting into AI until it is down to at least the top 10. There is only so much Simon we can bear.... As well as, disappointments in America somehow not agreeing with our choices!

Yes, yes, yes, we have heard all about Sanjaya...

If he could actually sing... we might have something to say.

As it is... we think he has great potential as a comedic star or as a topic of a really bad TV Movie.

Why is he still standing??? America has a wicked sense of humor!

When The Phenomenal Tony Bennett spoke of what Chaplin's song "Smile" meant to him... we cried.

When we heard Gina sing it... we only wished it was Tony...


Our pick for Idol worthy for the Night?

That would be Jordin. She sang "On A Clear Day", we must admit we like hers far better than any other version we have heard... including Babs in the movie of the same title.

She just hit it.

What can we say... she sang with that "wow" factor.


Who should go? That Haley creature. Talent + Beauty. Not just a voice without legs...

Our only wish .... someone would have done the song "The Good Life"... Tony Bennett Rocks!

Toodles.
