The Poofy Mullet

I'm confused . . . is the poofy hair that looks like a mullet back in style? Please tell me no or I might start crying right now! Is this Miami Vice or American Idol 2009???

Besides the poofy mullet, tonight was a pretty decent night. I thought Danny Gokey was amazing - I even teared up a little. Kris Allen was good and I'm starting to like him more and more every week. That's a good thing! I thought Lil Rounds looked a lot older than she is. Gag - like almost 40! It's just sad because she's so young.

I'm too tired to talk about anyone else . . . I'm still obsessing over the hair. Gross!

My Dear Sweet Carrie . . .

I love you and your voice is brilliant. You sang beautifully tonight. Even Randy Travis was in awe.

My question to you is this . . . what - and I repeat - WHAT was on your head???

Deep Thoughts...

by my hubby, Kurt.

"Did Adam Lambert borrow his jacket from the Tin Woodsman?"

"I didn't know Trent Reznor could sing 'The Ring of Fire'!"
(He said this while Adam was singing...long before Randy Jackson made the Nine Inch Nails reference in the critique.)

I'm thinking maybe next season they should add him as a fifth judge! :o)

He could sit between Cara and Paula...woo woo!

Bottom Three Plea

Please America, let's get it right!

Here are my bottom three from this week:

Adam Lambert (do we really want to see him on tour?! Sick!)
Lil Rounds (I'm just not diggin' it. Tonight was a train wreck)
Michael Sarver (I really like him as a person, but he had a poor song choice - nobody can sing that song like Garth!)

Who I'd like to see go: Adam or Lil (wouldn't shed a tear for either of them)

Who I think will go: Michael

But please, please . . . I'd love to bid farewell to Adam!

Gag Me with a Pitchfork...

Adam Lambert is utterly gross! His song tonight was ridiculous and it LITERALLY made me want to puke. I seriously think I felt a little vomit slowly rising as he sang. BARF!

Is it eleven????

Michael - You're a likable guy and all, but you're just really not even close to one of the better singers in this competition. Sorry about it.

Allison - You have a good voice, but not super impressed.

Paula - How wasted are you???

Kris - Okay, I totally like this song, and I thought you did awesome!!!! Totally voting for you!

'Lil - The chorus rocked. The verses struggled just a little bit

Adam - Blehhhh... I just threw up in my mouth. You, Adam, are super creepy. Please leave my stage and go be in a horror movie or something. What on earth were you thinking with that song? Psycho!!! (I do have to love that Randy Travis was just like, uh.... and that Simon said people were throwing their tv's out the window. Yes Simon, it was Horrific!!!!)

Scott - You're okay, but not one of my favorites.

Paula - are you drinking more during commercials? Wow.

Alexis - nothing overly impressive, but not bad

Danny - You know I love you!

Anoop - Wow. Zero to Hero. Way to go!

Megan - A better pick for your voice than others so far. I guess since you're sick I'll give you a bit of a break on the breaking of your voice. Not too bad overall.

Paula - Why are you sniffing Simon's arm?

Matt - You did pretty well for the most part. Bad last note. And I'm sorry, but you're nothing even close to Michael Buble.

Mystery Solved!

You may not all agree with me, but I at least solved the mystery in my mind.

Drum roll, please . . .

Dear Tatiana,
It's obvious the judges like you more than the rest of us...so I give you permission to do real bad tonight.
Love,
J

It's killing me...

Okay, I need help. Von Smith looks like somebody. It's not Clay Aiken, it's not Donny Osmond. It's some character from some movie/tv show or something. Like something weird. Did you see his hair tonight? Sticking straight up in front? It's just crazy. We've been thinking maybe an oompa loompa or a who from whoville or something, but I can't figure it out. If any of you have figured it out, please tell me. I may not sleep all night.
And PS, I'm soooooo glad headband boy did not make it through!

Tatiana gets a second chance???

I am officially boycotting this show. I can't take it. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING????

Dear...

Von~
Why do you remind me of Leonardo DiCaprio? I wonder if he can sing. Anyway. I think you did a nice job. I do not think you look or sound like Clay Aiken but I do think your outfit was better than most of his.

Taylor~
I always like to root for a local, but it seemed to me like by the time you warmed up and conquered your nerves, the song was over. I thought you sounded good for the last 1/4 of the song, but I don't think it was enought to get you through.

Alex~
You are full of personality and you make me laugh, but your singing leaves something to be desired. If this were American Karaoke, I'm certain you would win.

Arianna~
Song choice, song choice, song choice. I think the song you sang tonight sealed your fate. I really wish you would have chosen something young and fun.

Ju'not~
I like the song Hey there, Delilah, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the arrangement you sang. However, you sang it really well. You have nice tone and control. You seem like a nice guy and you have really white teeth.

Kristen~
You can definitely sing. Your personality comes across as awkward and kind of fake and for some reason that detracts from your voice. I'm not sure if America will give you one reason to stay here.

Nathaniel~
My mother in law makes amazing meatloaf. You don't.

Felicia~
Touchdown! I loved it. You are unique, confident and aware of yourself as an artist. It doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous either!

Scott~
You are a very inspirational person. You are real. You can sing, you sing from the heart and it's a tangible feeling. If you don't get through, then I'll be a monkey's uncle...err...aunt.

Kendall~
The first three words I thought of while you performed were...Cute...Country...and Canary. You're cute, the country angle definitely works for you, and you have a decent voice. I thought that curtain and feathery belt you wore made you look like a a canary.

Jorge~
Puerto Rico...my heart's devotion...
You are charming, talented and likeable. You sing effortlessly and with passion. And while I appreciate your diligent attention to the judges advice about your accent, I would love to hear you sing with it.

Lil~
I wonder how many more jokes the judges will make about your name this season. What an amazing talent. You have confidence, prescence and appeal. I also love your consistency. I think your performance was the best one of the night.
