AMERICAN IDOL 9: TOP 10 Guys

Well I am DVRless and it sucks. So I have to rely on great websites like www.rickey.org and others to provide me with the goods.

10. John Park - Gravity: Not interesting at all. I think that you have a good voice but I was bored to tears. I literally walked out of the room to get a tissue and forgot that you were singing until I came back to my seat. Not favorite song choice and I am afraid that this may send you packing.

9. Casey James - I Don't Want To Be: Umm... I believe that some bar in Chattanoga, TN is missing it's favorite karaoke singer. There was nothing different, nothing special. Blah Blah Blah is all I heard. Definitely a downgrade.

8. Tim Urban - C'mon Get Higher: This was okay but nothing to knock me out of my seat. Good song choice but vocally not ready yet.

7. Jermaine Sellers - What's Going On: Nice vocal tone but I feel like you have lost your way in this competition. You just do TOO MUCH. You can sing the melody with slight varied inflections but to railroad all over a song is not the way to go. If you don't go home this week, I am sure that the printed tickets home should have your name on it next week.

6. Andrew Garcia - You Give Me Something: One of the most interesting voices in the competition. The song was horrible for him though. Not the right choice for him at all.

5. Lee Dewyze - Lips Of An Angel: GREAT Song choice but not a great vocal. Vocals were all over the place. Just not grounded enough for me. Hmm... I say that you will still be in the top 12.

4. Aaron Kelly - My Girl: Another not so great song choice. Everyone knows that you should never choice this song for American Idol. Still I like your voice. I think that you can do well in this competition. I just don't think that we need another Justin Bieber. Please do not take this advice. This is the one time that I disagree with Simon.

3. Alex Lambert - Everybody Knows: I love this song. Your voice works so well on this song. The last note was kinda not settled but I will take it over last week. You were so much more confident and vocally controlled. I LOVED it. More of that.

2. Todrick Hall - What's Love Got To Do With It: I must say that on paper this sounds like a disaster but excuted well, it is short of amazing. I loved it. Really. Last week was a horrible arrangement. This arrangement was FANTASTIC. He is doing everything in this song that I would have done with it. If he gets voted off this week, I will be extremely upset. This was a great vocal and no one can deny that.

1. Michael Lynche - A Man's World: AMAZING!!! My favorite guy performance of the season so far. Vocals were spot on and the stage presence was phenominal. This performance made me feel like you wanted to win. Great job.

AMERICAN IDOL 12: VEGAS GIRLS WEEK 1

This is how they should have been doing it from the start. I love that we get to hear the contestants before the voting rounds! Please do this every season (if it is still on). Lets start with our girls. I really feel like a female can win this year. We have so many amazing choices from all genres!!! My ranking goes from least to greatest: Kamaria Ousley - Mr. Know It All: Just horrible. Horrible song choice and you were under pitch the entire time. Crash and burn for realz!!! I really wish that you had picked something different since you name dropped like crazy during your interview. Jenny Beth Willis - Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love: Well it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I had never heard this song before. I felt like it was not the right song choice for this competition and especially being the first one out of the gate. For some reason, it came off very talent show-ish. Good voice but horrible song choice. Isabelle - God Bless The Child: I didn't lo...

The Voice 10: Top 10

My apologies for the tardiness of this post. Busy life on the road with Ball In The House. Anyway, here are my thoughts about our Top 10. As always, I will rank the performances from least favorite to favorite. Daniel Passino  - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing : Really??? This song??? If you were going to do something completely different, I would have been on board. Such a bad bar karaoke performance. I am not a fan of your vocal tone with this song. When you went to your falsetto, it was a big ole' ball of NOPE. You didn't even prep for it. Your runs were sloppy and out of tune. Cringe worthy during the latter part of the performance. Just no! Paxton Ingram - It's All Coming Back To Me : Something about his tone really bothers. It is too whiney and immature. Especially on songs like this. It just doesn't sound mature enough to tackle a song like this. It was just "meh" to me. Nothing really sparkled but it didn't tank. Nick Hagelin - I Can't H...

Family Profile #3: My Oldest Brother (1 of 8)

Reference Name: Vietnam Date Of Birth: 6/23/58 Favorite Memory: Spending the night at his house after I had graduated from college to talk about life and what to expect. My oldest brother was not really there when I was growing up. I don't know a whole lot about him but I do know that he served in the Vietnam war. There were moments where I believed that he was crazy. He was a little violent when I was in high school. I thought that the war may have something to do with that issue. He married a woman from Africa. I never really liked her. She seemed like she only wanted him for the easy passage into the US. In about a year, they got divorced. They do share a child together. The child, who will call Viet Baby, has not been around me much. When we are together, she seems so smart and much like an adult. She is only 10. Well beyond her years in intelligence. Now back to my brother, he has become a lot more settled since the divorce. He is almost 50 years old and I want nothing b...
