AMERICAN IDOL 9: Top 12 Preview

First I would like to apologize for the lack of post. I have been going through Post Show Syndrome. Missing the cast and crew of RENT at Kensington Arts Theatre. Okay back to Idol. Not the top 12 that I was hoping for but it will do. I think that 4 that got eliminated could easily replace 4 of the top 12. No Paige, Katie, Tim, or Aaron. I just think that the Top 12 stage will swallow them whole. Alex was just beginning to get his nerves back on track. Katelyn had one bad performance. Todrick was entertaining and a seasoned pro to the stage. Lilly was just meant to be there. I need to stop crying over spilled milk (where are you Angela Martin????). Here is my ranking and what I think of each contestant.

12. Aaron Kelly - He is totally going to crack under the big stage. I liked him but he seemed to get worse as the weeks went on. I can only hope that he does well but I have this feeling that this may be the end of the line for him.

11. Tim Urban - So here is my theory for him. He is going to get better and Vote For The Worst will drop. Therefore, he will be losing his backing and he is out here like that. Unfortunate but bound to happen.

10. Lacey Brown - Out of the females, she has the weaker voice. I don't know if she will triumph enough to overpower the other females.

9. Katie Stevens - I am not a fan. I think that she is like so dry. Vocally, she does not have the maturity and the experience to hold a match to the other girls.

8. Paige Miles - I would actually rank her a little higher. Something about her. I like it. I am sure that we will get to hear her real vocals this week. I am pulling for her. What a great story that would be. She could be like the Phoenix. Rising from the ashes.

7. Lee Dewyze - I don't get it with this guy. Not my cup of tea. I think that he is not as good as Simon says that he is.

6. Casey James - Another one that is not as good as the judges put him out there to be. But I think that he has a better chance.

5. Andrew Garcia - Youtubers will keep him around for awhile. I think that he has lost his way a bit and hopefully can find it back.

4. Didi Benami - I love this girl's voice. It is lighter but very solid. I think that she can do well on the big stage.

3. Mike Lynche - Big guy with a big voice will definitely be the last man standing. I think that he could very well give the girls a run for their money.

2. Siobhan Magnus - I hope that she is not the shocker elimination but I can listen to her sing anything. Her vocals were so pure and then she went for powerful. LOVED IT!!!!!

1. Crystal Bowersox - Overall greatness. Great image, great vocals, great song selection. So innocent to the monster because she had never seen the show before. I am betting her to win the whole thing.

Since next week is Rolling Stones Week, I picked some songs that I would sing if I were a contestant or that I would like to hear,

Start Me Up
Shine A Light
Time Is On My Side
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Paint It Black
No Expectations
Miss You
Get Off Of My Cloud
As Tears Go By (I would totally sing this)
Angie

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...
