American Idol Season 11: Top 3

I love Top 3 performance night but I hate results night because one of them will not make it to the finals.

Joshua Ledet - Imagine: I don't know. I am just not buying tonight. It just seems so contrived to me. At this point, it should be real and genuine and I am just not getting that from you.

Joshua Ledet - I'd Rather Go Blind: This was good but not great. I just felt like it was in your wheelhouse but not emotionally attached. I was there with you until the last 30 seconds of your performance. Just seemed more showy than real.

Phillip Phillips - Disease: Good performance but it almost like we have seen this performance before. Just good not great but good. Just really okay. Nothing more that I can say. Not your worst but not your best. How many ways can I say the same thing? LOL

Jessica Sanchez - I'll Be There: Just was kind of a generic song choice for her. You didn't do anything special to it but you still sang it very well. It was a give or take performance.

Phillip Phillips - Beggin': That was a really good performance of the song. Vocal not so much. But performance was crazy great!!! I really felt like I was at a concert and it had a great vibe. Am I becoming a P2 fan???? Oh gosh somebody check my temperature but I would not be mad if he won.

Jessica Sanchez - My All: One of my favorite favorite songs. Probably in my Top 5 of all times. Jessica did a GREAT job with this song!!! It was super silky and tender. Very hard song to sing but she definitely nailed it.

Jessica Sanchez - Don't Want To Miss A Thing: That was an absolutely amazing performance for me. Right build. Right emotion. Things just gelled well.

Joshua Ledet - No More Drama: LAY IT DOWN!!!! Seriously, that was real!!!! It felt like you had an out of body experience singing that song. Dude, that was great. I just wish that your other songs could have been this great.

Phillip Phillips - We've Got Tonight: WHOA!!! Second week in a row that you totally blew me away. That was a vocal! AWESOME SINCERE VOCAL!!!!! I actually watched it a second time. GREAT JOB!!!

Wow there are 3 different singers in this race. Well actually 1 very different and 2 that have similar styles but different approaches. Personally, I think that Phillip Phillips played the American Idol game very well. I did enough to get by until tonight then he unleashed his soft sincere side that sealed the deal. These last couple of weeks have been great for him. Jessica and Joshua appeal to similar audiences so guess what?? They split the vote and one of them will go home. I don't know maybe Jessica will go out 3rd this season. As much as I would love a female winner, I think that Phillip just created a HUGE hurdle for her to climb. Joshua definitely has a fan base out there. Jessica just didn't seem to fight as hard tonight. Either way, I will be happy with the final 2!!! Next week we crown a winner!!!!

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...
