Dear...

Syesha,
You are beautiful. You are skinny. I think you have a nice voice and an ability to give an entertaining performance. Please step it up and rise to that ability.

Chikezie,
Hello! Thank you for sharing your personality with us tonight. I was very entertained. I am so sorry you had to be present while Ryan jumped around the stage attempting to be a "brother". How awkward!

Ramiele,
You normally have a big voice that escapes from your tiny body. Tonight your voice matched your body...TINY. I had to stick a fork in my eye during your performance to keep myself from falling asleep.

Jason,
I like your voice. I think it is nice. It is, however, difficult for me to watch you sing. You remind me of Sanka Coffie from Cool Runnings. I guess I just can't get past the dreadlocks. Sorry!

Carly,
I like your Irish accent. I like your singing too. I think you will give several contestants a run for it. I did not enjoy your outfit. Nope, not at all.

David C.,
I am thrilled to see you finally opening up and feeling comfortable. I agree you are a "dark horse"...or donkey...or whatever. I like your voice, your singing style and your hair.

Brooke,
Thank you for being real. For playing the piano barefoot. For bringing a presence and maturity to the stage. Oh, and for having an awesome voice too.

David H.,
Um...the New Kids on the Block just called. They are doing a reunion tour and wondered if you'd be interested in joining them.

Amanda,
I think you are a very pretty girl. And while I don't necessarily enjoy your singing style, I know you have rocker fans out there. But you seem unhappy. Could you perk up just a bit? And please, don't wear black and white stripey pants anymore...they match your hair.

Michael,
I love Australian accents. My kindergarten teacher was from Australia. Did you just smile and give me a Veggiemite Sandwich? Seriously...I like you...a lot. But you are rather predictable. Don't get stuck in a rut, okay?

Kristy,
Oh, Kristy. I think you are down home pretty and genuine. I think you have a pleasant voice. I also think you committed American Idol suicide tonight.

David A.,
I think you're amazing for a 17 year old. I want to pop your head of and hang it from my rear view mirror. I'm sure tonight was hard and intimidating. You didn't do great, but I still like you. Could you do me a favor, though? PLEASE stop licking your lips! Thank you.

Sincerely~
Marianne

Kamie's thoughts on tonight's show!

Just some random things I jotted down during tonight's show.  By the way - I love the Beatles!  Yay!

Syesha - I thought she did alright tonight, but I wasn't blown away.  (But I was running around the house, so maybe I missed something.)

Chikezie - I think he might be here to stay for at least a few more week!  Nice going Chikezie!

Ramiele - I thought her song was pretty boring.  Not a lot of emotion.  It didn't even pull me away long enough to distract me from my MySpace or this blog!  I guess I just don't like her too much.   (by the way - I so wrote all this before the judges talked!  At least they agreed!)

Jason - I thought he did good tonight.  I do really like this song, so that helped.  But I thought he pulled some funny faces!  Ha ha!! :)  But I did like last week better.

Carly - I do not love her outfit.  I think her performance was really good.  But she really bugs me.  I don't have a lot to say about her.  :P

David C - I LOVE Eleanor Rigby.  I am excited to see what he does with it.

Sheesh - I am hungry!  Guess it'll have to wait.  :)  

Back to David - I really loved it closer to the end. . . but I thought there were a few not so great places in the beginning of the song.  But all in all - it was great!  Nice David!  And - I still love the song!  Yay!  He did awesome!  

Brooke - She did awesome, as usual.  I think she has an awesome voice!  

Here is my side note during the commercial.  I WANT an iPhone.  I LOVE them.  They are so convenient and handy to use.  I had one for 2 days.  It was a sad day when AT&T did not deliver as promised.  (No, Richfield does not get good service - even if they tell you they do!!  Most of the time I had No Service, other times I had FULL service, no consistency.)  Booo AT&T.  I had to take my iPhone back.  Such a sad day.  Those commercials make me sad.  :(  

Okay - back to IDOL!

David H - just blah.  I do not love him either.  Guess that is why I never remember who he is.  I don't think he'll be around too long.  

Amanda - It was alright.  Better than two weeks ago!  :) 

Michael - It was pretty good.  He'll be here next week, I'm sure.  

Kristy - I like her!  I thought she did good.  I liked that she tried something different.  I am sure Randy will hate it!  But I liked it alright.

David A - It was good - but I didn't love it.  For sure not his best performance.  He forgot too many words.  :(

So my favorite performances of the night were David Cook and Brooke!

I think that Ramiele or David H. will be going home tomorrow.   But I am thinking Ramiele.  (Or maybe Kristy. - I don't know).
