American Idol 2012 Top 8

And for the American Idol, I do still watch the show. But not as enthusiastically as I was before, reason?! Life happens, I’m starting to become busy creating my own dreams than watching others create theirs.

The Idol dilemma is always that there’s only one person that’s going to win. So here ‘s what I think of this year’s contestants. Top 3 Colton, Phillip, Jessica. That’s my prediction. Last 3 is Hee Jun, Hollie, Skylar, I am sorry, someone have gotta go. Hee Jun is gone as expected. Unless Hollie and Skylar pull out something from the hat, then they are out of any hat trick that’s going to interest anyone. While Elise, Deandre and Joshua are going strong, but if they too run out of any hat trick, then the order of going I expected will be Deandre, Elise and Joshua. And to tell the truth, after this week’s contest, it felt like a drag to watch the next 6-7 weeks unless something fascinating and different happens.

Talking about TV, while I thought that the TV is heading into a draught. Touch and Smash lights up the screen with some great new ideas and Downton Abbey showing some war action.

American Idol Top 13

I’ve stopped doing this for a long while now. Because I’ve lost my inspiration somewhat along the way, but I guess it is predictable that American Idol would have this started again.

I intend to stay off through the season before this. But when I saw the top 13 performed last night. It’s kinda inspiring.

Without watching any episodes, I know. Colton is the front runner from the start. But without a doubt either, he is the most bankable of all the contestant yet he still got a lot of potential on his voice because he is still molding it.

Phillip Phillips is my second choice for the guys. Because of his uniqueness. I haven’t seen a Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen on the show before. And Phillip have them both in his pocket. I just hope that the Idol actually don’t change him too much. Yet he still has to fix a position on how his voice could fit. But I hope it’s not the Idol mold but his on potential.

A small note. I was not surprise that Reed Grimm is gone but I was sad though. Because he is a character with a voice and a talent. Maybe it’s too random for AI but he is definitely with something there.

Joshua Ledet fits into the norm of AI as the Gospel soul, Jeremy Rosado is the cool bear, and Jermaine is the low ground. While Jermaine is good at what he sings, but his voice can be a bit dull at times. HeeJun however is a surprise. Not that he is not a good singer, only that American haven’t really heard much of a good Asian singer before. He is what a Typical most Asian Singer are like. A Typical Asian Look with a good voice. While I’m proud that he is in the top 11 but I do think that he would not last too long if he stay the course he is which the Asian singer usually does.

Deandre is unique. But he could be too unique either. Because there’s a play in the game and the unique card can be a low blow rather than a good thing.

As for the girls, It’s a huge competition. Because last night they show off everything. Erika Van Pelt did great with a perfect fit with her voice on Whitney, Hollie too have fit Whitney in her show. Skylar did a Reba on Whitney. And who can forget Jessica. But Jessica rendition of the most difficult-to-pull-off song of the Whitney play book is perfect, but I fear that it was too perfect. While we are in the nostalgia of the late singer original, Jessica is still lacking Individuality in her fit. Maybe after another couple of weeks she’ll shine as the girl who can sing about everything perfectly. And that can be her trick.

As for Elise, whether it’s the song choice, the lack of time, I can only says, this is a huge break she got, the second chance. She has to bring it next week. And redeem herself. As for Shannon, she is not in a good place after last night performance. The song almost exposes all her flaws, and I’ve seen lack of potential all over the place. She too have to do much much better to get herself ON again.

For the guys, the game is right on, they are in the popularity game. Because they have shown all the potential but they haven’t have shown all of it. And because this year it’s obvious that the popularity vote have gone on even before the top 13 begins. As for the girls, most of the best singers are there. So it’s a game of talent. While with all the great voice, it can be a bit boring at times. So the girls game is creating variety, and create interest on them.

I am sad that Jeremy have to go because I think he got a good voice and he is not supposed to go. I’m sure and Elise would get a big slash back from the whole drama. But it is a choice of whether you burn the one who show potential but show not enough or the one that made a bad choice and haven’t show her potential yet. I just hope that they make the right choice and Elise would really step up and do a good job next week.

And the Winner is!!!!!! 10th American Idol is!!!!!!

Scotty McCreery!!!!! is the winner of the 10th American Idol!!!!!!

American Idol 2 hours Finale starts now!!!!

Well, last night, Scotty started the show to a strong start. Lauren's condition does slow thing down a little bit. then on the second round, Scotty and Lauren is a tie. mayb it's the last straw or the Lauren getting use to the condition. she return big time in the last performance. Scotty fair just OK.
So the point is, at the end, it's a pretty close draw.

so who'd win?! it'll be reveal in 2 hours!!!!

American idol Finale is set. Scotty vs Lauren.

After the Rock and Roll James is out last week. The saultry soulful Haley is out too.

Who’s left? American idol have officially gone total American Country…..

Lauren and Scotty will be officially dueling it out at the finale of American Idol.

Finally a fight of the sexes on idol big western country style!!!! Yee Hah!!!

The Top 5 is on. and Casey is out, while rating flail due to the Royal Wedding !!!!

As everyone is preparing to watch the late night Royal Wedding, the American Idol knock off one of the favourite.

The top 5 is in and Casey is not one of them.

Being one of the most talented musicians of the top 6, it is sad to see Casey to go, but to tell the truth, Casey is no entertainer. He got a style, and whether it’s a flavor the public like. I think the voting tells it all. Musician or not, the show is half about popularity, and if you can’t produce something that is both artsy and entertaining, you are out.

So the Top 5 is Jacob, James, Scotty, Lauren and Haley.

It’s almost a sure thing that James and Scotty will be the final 2 but from the past 2 weeks, Haley is showing great momentum too. And from the looks of this week’s votes, Jacob and Scotty are not so safe after all. James is the only one that is not in the bottom 3 this week. Could the girls have finally over taken the guys?

and now there's 5 on American Idol

Alright, the news break on this coming Good Friday there’s something that’s not good happening.

Stefano is going home after the nationwide vote. Expected.

I mean he’s not really the strongest nor the most popular guy in the show this year.

Been in the bottom three pretty much this season, finally it’d catch up with him.

But for yesterday performance, really, I must say, the only person I think is safe is James, the rock another full gothic metal number, with the highest notes ever.

Then I think Haley Adele is not as romantic but suitable to the voice.

Lauren, didn’t really do a good job on the country side.

And Scotty’s antic on stage is getting too cheesy.

Casey, is taking chances, but somehow it is not shining, I mean the risk is taken but the performance is not really that artistic. It is entertaining though.

And Jacob, besides missing the first start of the song because of the equipment glitch, and lost concentration from there on, yet, Stefano “closer”, is good but not exactly great. So it’s not really that much of a surprise.
