Idol, top 12

Favorite of the week, This coulda gone to Brooke or Carly i suppose but heres Jason Castro "If I fell"

Ok ok ok, i heart idol a lot and this season i have not agreed with a lot of the fans decisions, i think alaina, alexandrea, colten, asia'h, and danny all went home too early, however there is still a lot of talent left so with the top twelve coming up and knowing it was beatles week ( i love the beatles more then i love idol) i was pretty excited. However this episode kind of let me down, my favorites didn't do as well as i thought they would and my least favorites.. well some did ok, others didnt. I think the idol saving performance of this week was definitely Chikezie's ho down rendition of whatever song he did. I also thought Brooke was brilliant, she has been wow'ing me the last couple weeks, which is amazing cause she has done it with the guitar, by herself, and with the piano, very versatile the only other person that is capible of doing that on this show is non other then my favorite to win american idol (i'm calling it) David Archuleta. However today was probably his worst performance as he went last (which first and last are usually given to top people to hold our attention, and it works) but he seemed nervous and even forgot some lines, however even though he did that i think he was still fantastic, he has a great voice and is very humble, he will be great. Speaking of great i think Michael Johns is a star already i feel like he does not need this how, he will make it, he performed Across The Universe which was his first slow song sense hollywood week and he did a great job, however the judges were not loving on the slow songs, all but Paula thought terrible of Johns performance as well as Castros, which Jason Castro used the guitar again which is always good for him and had a very touching performance. The judges love him and i think the fans do to so i dont think either of them will be in jeopardy (on a side note i hate how people that sing slow songs get less love then those that cant sing that do fast songs, i know this is true with american idol, if you jump around you usually get love, but when people like Johns and Castro hit a song good, so what if the tempo is slow), however i do believe that Kristy Lee Cook WILL be voted off tomorrow it was either her or David Hernandez and the ex-stripper i think will stay another week because she ruined a country song like only Amanda Overmyer can and it was dreadful, she'll be gone. Speaking of Amanda, what the heck is she still doing here, i know that Votefortheworst.com tells people to vote for her but for some reason the judges like her, shes terrible ruined a good ol favorite....

other performers - Syesha did ok, nothing great, Ramielle (who i love) did her worst performance to date but will be back for more her closest friends (Colten, Danny, Asia'h, etc. al.) are all gone now so she must be hurting but i hope she isnt trying to join them. Carly did good but she does nothing really for me personally. David Cook sang the pants off his song and for the second week in a row looks like he has a chance to win this thing.

For the record.
Favorites - David Archuleta, Jason Castro, Brooke White, Ramielle, and Michael Johns.
Favorite to win - David Archuleta
Going home this week - Kristy Lee Cook

In other pop culture news i watched the 2007 Movie of the year No Country For Old Men which won 4 awards in this years Oscars. I will not ruin anything but id say the writing was excellent for the most part, the dialog was great and the acting phenomenal, yet it tailed off during the second half and left me desiring more, oh well.


enjoy,
