David 1 and 2

I really liked them singing together. I think their voices complimented each other nicely.



So funny. I like their dedication to the moves.

And finally, the Guitar Hero commercials. Cook looks more comfortable. I just think it was a fun idea. Archuleta just makes me laugh. Enjoy.

TWO HOURS. Seriously. TWO HOURS. ugh.

I pretty much ignored the first half of this show. I don't care about people who were kicked off. I especially didn't want to hear Kristy Lee Cook again. And David Hernandez seemed a lot more stripper-like than I remember him. His dance moves were...um...provocative? Icky is a better fit actually.

I liked the Gladys Knight thing. That made me laugh. And I have some things to say regarding Robert Downey Jr., but that will have to wait for a later post.

Simon's comments made at the end were fantastic. I like that he admitted his harshness from last night and apologized about his ending comments to DC. I actually have a little respect for Simon now. Like 2% instead of 0%.

DAVID COOK JUST WON! YES! YES! YES!

All is right in the American Idol world. And he's crying. How sweet. I like him 10 times more right now. I hope all that eyeliner they have on him is waterproof.

Too bad he has to sing the crappy contest-winning song. They are always so cheesy. Blech. I still like his voice though.

David A. looks sad. Poor guy. They were both equally deserving. Although David A. has a lot of time head of him to be successful. I'm sure they'll both have good careers.

And now I'm exhausted and my cat is meowing at my door. I'm off to let her inside and then to bed.

Ryan PuffyFace Eyeliner

All I have to say that isn't already being said by everyone who watches American Idol is this:

Ryan Seacrest was wearing entirely too much eye makeup last night.

Of course, I also have to add that ANY eye makeup on a man is too much - but when it results in obvious black rings around his eyes, it's just sad.

He also looked kind of puffy. Maybe he had a rough day/night and they were trying to cover it up. Whatever the case may be, he looked funny.

The End.

American Idol aka The Two Davids Show

First of all...I know the thing on all of our minds...what on earth is the Mayor of Murray, Utah thinking with that mustache? Seriously. I can't stop laughing just thinking of it. Think of the upkeep on a 'stache like that!

Second of all. I really cannot stand Ryan. Ugh.

So really. David A. and David C. better be the two left. Although it doesn't really matter at this point because they are both going to get record deals. As long as Syesha is voted off this week I will be happy. I don't think America will disappoint me.

You know what is disappointing? Hour-long results shows. Honestly. and at 9 o'clock. I'm shattered and I desperately want to go to sleep...I'm still feeling icky and have been napping all day and am still exhausted.

I cleaned up my room in 15 minute intervals this afternoon. Clean. Nap. Clean. Nap. It's getting there....although I need a night stand and a dresser for clothes would be nice. I have two wardrobes for hanging clothes and they have three shelves each with some little tiny drawers that hold like three pairs of socks. So it would be nice to just have some nice, deep drawers for jeans and pj bottoms and such.

This would be another "live blogging" session of mine, hence all of the random thoughts. Perhaps I shall save this now and finish when the results are finally announced 20 minutes from now. Sheesh. That's a long time.

Okay....here's another thing. I just don't feel any sincerity from Syesha. I feel like she's acting all the time. And the mayor of Sarasota, FL is a little crazy as well. Very...colorful. And by that I mean she was wearing a hideous day-glo yellow shirt with purple pants. Nice.

And I think she got a haircut like this morning. Her hair was long and curly and now it's kind of shorter and straight. I don't think I would change my hair the day of the results. Maybe between results and the next week...but not between Tuesday and Wednesday.

David Cook looks a lot better now then he did in the beginning. I had trouble with his look before...and I got some of the iTunes songs tonight and they have this creepy looking photo of him and they should change it because he doesn't look anything like that now. Amazing what a hair cut and better clothes will do for a person (why this surprises me after watching years of What Not to Wear, I have no clue).

And I interrupt this post to say that I love Krissie's new blog layout. Ch-check it out.

I love how close David C. seems to be to his family. It's cute and endearing. It looks like he had the most fun at his hometown visit. I liked him doing the weather. That would definitely be a cool thing to do. And he went to see his elementary school music teacher. How freaking adorable IS THAT?! Yeah. David C.'s visit was ten times cooler than the others. And no freaky mayor!

Here's the thing. David Cook just seems like a nice guy...and yet he rocks...and yet he sings really really well. He should win - he found his niche and instead of sticking with it and being boring, he switched it up from week to week. Sometimes it worked (really, really well - Always be my Baby, anyone?) and sometimes not so much. But he listened to the judges week to week and took chances. He could have just made everything rock music, but he didn't...some of the songs he just sang the way they were written, but his voice still does that rock thing. BUT he can also do the harmonies and melodies and sound great. Bascially, I'm a fan. Times ten. He should win.

P.S. Paula is cuckoo-bananas. And Simon just said "hum-dinger."

I am so nervous RIGHT NOW. Next week:

David Archuleta and David Cook.

Absolutely no surprise there. Thank goodness.

And now it's time for bed. Nighty Night fellow AI fans and everyone else who may read this crazy rambling blog.

American Idol - Is it just me?

the audio this week has sucked! You can't hear the music or the backup vocals. I love Maroon 5 but part of the reason I love them is the music...although Adam Levine sounded nice and he looked a lot hotter with this haircut than the last time I saw him with that weird slicked back mohawk thing. But seriously, last night had the same problems...it makes everything sound like karaoke.

I love Maroon 5. Apparently they are going on tour to Europe and San Antonio. Adam isn't tuned into his life very well...but who cares. Also, there's an Indian Jones commercial on that I haven't seen and I am getting more and more excited to see it. I want to go back and watch the others since it's been a while for me.

Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious that Jason is going home. Although no tears will be shed in my corner if it's Syesha.

"live" blogging

I'm watching American Idol RIGHT. NOW. Crazy things can happen in our technologically savvy world, eh?

So there's just a bottom two this week...and Brooke isn't one of them! That's a pretty big shocker. Although since Syesha did pretty well and I am really hating Carly's performance (which she is repeating right now, live, as I type) at the moment, I'm hoping it's a clear decision that Carly is going...going...gone.

Yep. No more Carly. Surprising? Not at all. It was only a matter of time.

Here's what I was talking about...

This is the Grease winner (Laura Osnes) for Sandy singing Jesus Christ Superstar. It's so much better. Granted, Carly is competing in a completely different type of competition - she really just yelled too much for my taste (as is the case with pretty much everything she sings).



Also - I kind of love these "find the next Broadway star" shows. They have that little extra cheese factor that is missing from American Idol. Especially over in Britain.

Here's the winner (Lee Mead) from Any Dream Will Do singing with Josh Groban. I loved this performance and I love how sad the other guys are - like someone has punched them in the stomach...and they aren't gracious about it at all.

American Idol, yes I am posting about American Idol

As I see it there are clear front runners in this season. I've only watched this season and last - but am enjoying this season a lot better.

Mostly I was excited for this week. Andrew Lloyd Weber was the guest mentor so they all had to sing his songs. Although I have to say...he is kind of creepy looking. I'm curious to know what his face looks like in person.

Last year, Krissie and I got into Grease: You're the One That I Want and watched the whole thing. Then, when we got to England they had shows on there: Grease is the Word and Any Dream Will Do. They were talent searches for the new leads in Grease and Joseph opening in the West End. We totally got into the last few episodes there and would stay home to watch it with Louise. Weber played a big part in the Joseph show and may have judged a night on Grease. I remember one of the girls singing Jesus Christ Superstar and it was amazing.

So tonight, when Carly got up there and sang that it just did nothing for me at all. I don't really like her in the first place so maybe I'm biased. Also, her husband's facial tattoos are yucky and she wears nothing but black leggings/stockings/skinny jeans. ugh.

Syesha did very well, but she is also an actress so that was no surprise. I say if a girl makes it to top 3 it will be her.

Brooke was alright. That whole stopping and starting over thing was weird, but it would have been weirder for her to keep going and making up stuff, right? I think she may go home this week. Not to mention, I think people might be getting tired of her over-emotional state...and by people I mean me.

Jason picked a weird song but did alright with it. I think he'll be bottom three this week. It was a girl song (Memory) - an old lady song even...from Cats. But honestly I don't know what he would have done better with. He's not suited for Broadway. That might hurt him.

Speaking of girl songs. David Archuleta sang Think of Me - only he kind of changed it up. I liked it. His vocals are always spot on - though he needs more of a presence/personality. I think that's more of an age and experience thing.

Finally, David Cook. He's totally grown on me. He sang Music of the Night. And although it wasn't really any different composition-wise, I think he sang beautifully. He's definitely better with the gritty, rock stuff, but still did a great job with this. And his look isn't bothering me so much any more.

So, bottom three I'm gonna say Brooke, Jason and Carly. Although Syesha could be in trouble since she performed first. Sometimes people get distracted throughout the whole show and forget to vote for the first performer.

I am so happy...

Kristy Lee Cook was voted off AI. Seriously. I only wish it had happened weeks ago.
