American Idol Top 7

April 20th, 2010 at 9:39 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, General Talk, The Rhode Show

Caseyhad a strong performance but he has not wowed me in quite some time. He has so much potential but he needs to step out of the box.

Leewas really good tonight. Actually my favorite song of him so far. I really liked the rendition, but I just do not dig him. Hes really boring to me. He was better then Casey tonight, but definitely not my favorite to say the least.

Not quite what happened to Tim today. I could probably count how many notes he actually hit! AWFUL tonight!

Aaron is just OK for me. This song was better then usual but I would not vote for him. As a matter of fact, I would vote for him to go home!

I think Siobhan needs to go home….a long time ago! This girl has no business being here. Her vocals were better this week then normal, but shes just odd! I find her mouth very distracting, and she has no style to her. Shes just all over the place and she actually sounds the same every week!!!!!! Please send her home! I cant take any more of her.

Wow big Mike! Not too impressed. It was ok……I guess……Im not loving him any more. He used to blow me away, now he just blends.

Bowersox just smoked every contestant! Seriously folks, take some lessons from her. Shes taking it all the way!

And just to re-cap, America had it all wrong last week with letting Katie go! Craziness!


Final 9! Its getting good.

Great way to start the night with Bowersox! Shes my American Idol! All the way. This girls gonna take it! Cool spin she put on the song. Who would have ever known that was an Elvis song! Job well done.

Now Andrew. Why would you take a fast song and slow it down on an ELVIS night? Really? Wow, that didn’t make sense to me.  It was OK, but I would not write home about it. Very strange to me.  

I loved  Tims guitar…..the song…not so much.  Didn’t love the arrangement, but Im sure all of the little girls did. I’m actually shocked that the judges loved it. Hes a cutie pie.

Leeis really really good! Hes consistent every week. The issue I have with him is I just don’t see him being an American Idol. He has no real style, and he always looks kind of dazed and confused. Love the rasp in his voice though!

I cant help but to laugh at Aaron. Hes just so small. He looks like an elementary school boy…that has a great voice. He reminds me of Clay Aiken. He would be a better Broadway performer.

Siobhan. What the hell was that? The first part was so boring. The middle was the best.  But the beginning was just so weird for me. Her lips were very strange almost like she was trying to make the song so much bigger then what it was. I was so not impressed with that one. She has a great voice, but shes just all over the place.

Big Mike ruined a beautiful song. This song should be so intense. Definitely not a guitar song. BORING. I cant believe he actually picked that song after being saved! He sang it well, but it could have been much much better.

Katie found her niche! This girl has been on fire. She has such a beautiful voice!  Shes a keeper.

Hmmm Casey. Not quite sure what to think. He was ok for me. There are just so many good Elvis songs I wonder why he would pick that one. He is definitely good, and always on. He is just capable of so much more.

There are so many bad people for me that I would not even know who to pick but here goes………..Andrew and Arron.


So happy to be back from vacation and blog again for American Idol!!!!

March 30th, 2010 at 10:35 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, General Talk, The Rhode Show

Wow, great way to start the night Siobhan! NOT! Wow, she looked like a gladiator/prostitute. This girl is so far off with her vocals every week I’m still shocked she has made it this far!!!!

Casey was very entertaining tonight. I think he is capable of much more, but hes great. He kind of reminds me of a reserved Taylor Hicks.

Big Mike did an awesome job tonight. I love how he puts so much feeling into everything he sings. You have to love Big Mike. Definitely a boring song, but his feelings made it, and hes connected to his audience.  

Didi is going to be “broken hearted” when she gets sent home! She sounds the same every week. Her whining is way too annoying now and it even comes out in her songs. That was just so cabaret with that dress, the earrings, the hair. Lastly, I think it was in a much lower key then she can handle so there were no high points.  

My dear Tim picked a song way too old for him. He actually looked really uncomfortable tonight. I’m surprised Randy said he was right on tune because I thought he was way off tonight and he didnt take any of Usher’s advice of being in the song. But at least he smiles.  

One of the best performances of the night was Andrew! It actually was my favorite. Original and soothing. Fun stuff from him tonight. He has come a long way. His outfit rocked my world. My only issue is that I don’t see him being an American Idol!!! Hes like the one hit wonder guy. I hope he kicks it up a notch cause hes cool.

Katie’s vocals were great but I though she was kind of boring. I wish she moved around more and interacted with the audience. She picked a great song and she is just phenomenal for her age but she needs to kick it up a notch.

And finally the show has started tonight!!!!! Thank god for Lee. He has the coolest raspy voice. Its almost like he doesn’t have to try. He was dead on with vocals. My memere would say he was the “Bomb Diggity”! The poor guy looked like he was going to pass out after what Simon told him……..than again I guess I would have too! Ha!

Team Bowersox! At first I was kind of bored, but she came right out of the box. I actually though the whole piano thing was kind of weird….I wish she had just finished the song. She is just so on key every week. She looks great in heels and she really is a beautiful girl. She is the only contestant that knows who she is as a performer and does not stray.

Aaron is so cute, but just not a solo performer. He would be a great Back Street Boy! Another one that didn’t listen to 1 thing Usher told him. Hes so young and he will make it….but not on American Idol.

I think its the end of the road for Didi! And if its not, I’m going to have to protest cause she is just so bad.


Top 12 – American Idol

March 16th, 2010 at 10:24 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, General Talk, The Rhode Show

Big Mike- In it to win. Didn’t love the song, but hes consistent every week and he takes control of the stage.

Didi is starting to bore me because she sounds the same every single week. Shes actually a bit annoying sounding to me now.

Wow Casey! Out of all the songs he could pick, he decided to go Karaoke tonight. BORING. But he will stay till the end.

What a cool rendition of Ruby Tuesday but boy was Lacey pitchy tonight!  How could Simon say nothing was wrong with the vocals? Has he lost his mind?

Ellen has lost it! Andrew was not good at all! Pitchy, boring, what else is there to say? I don’t think hes going to last to much longer.

OMG Katie! Much better! She looked great, sounded awesome. I thought she was going to go last week, but so far she is one of the best tonight.

Really people? You have the Rolling Stones to sing and this is the best you can come up with!!!!!!!!

Tim….your fired! That stunk and hes so much better then that.

Finally someone rocks it out…… but Sibohan misses half of the notes. She looks awesome and the last note was totally hot, but not some of the others. Great rendition of the song.

Lee did a great job this week. He would not stand out in a crowd for me, but hes really consistent.

Wow Paige tore it up this week! Much better then the past few weeks. I was a bit scared of the first few notes, but she pulled it off.

This was one of Aarons best weeks. Awesome job. One of the better vocals of the night.

Bowersox  is still my favorite. I think the issue with her is that she held to a higher standard than the other contestants because shes always on top of her game. I didn’t think she was bad tonight, but I thought she had better weeks.

Hmmm  this week Im up in the air. Kate and Sybhoan made a comback. I think Andrew is going home.

Bowersox and Mike will be the last 2 standing.


American Idol Is Killing Me!

March 11th, 2010 at 9:23 pm by under General Talk

Really folks! And Katie was sent home before Lilly! Come on America, get a grip! I mean seriously…..Lilly hits every note!!! Not impressed with this! However, you did a great job on Katelyn. Although she is ADORABLE….shes not a singer/performer.

Todrick was a great call to go buh bye…….but not Tim! He’s got it going on. The young chicks are going to be very upset with these results.  Seriously America, Arron has no business being there! HE CANT SING!!!!!!!!!!!

We really need to work on these results!!!!! Are the viewers really that tone deaf?


American Idol Boys – Yahoo!

March 10th, 2010 at 10:02 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, General Talk, The Rhode Show

Starting off the night with Lee. Hes just ok with me. Hes like the cool kid that has a great voice, but not a singing voice.  I could forget about him very quickly, he has no WOW factor.

I love Alex, the little cocky banana. Hes going to be in the top few people left. Hes consistent and I believe hes going to let looks in the new few weeks.

Tim ROCKS MY WORLD! Love this kid. Hes so cute, so honest and just respectful. The girls must love Tim! I love the fact that he is just so into what the Judge tell him and so appreciative of this opportunity.

Didn’t love Andrew tonight. I think the end was the best part! Not too impressed.

WHATS UP WITH ALL OF THE SLOW SONGS PEOPLE?

Casey did a great job but didn’t blow me away. Played it safe tonight. But he has no worries, he will be around for a bit.

Did Aaronhave ear plugs in? That was just god awful! I think he might have hit 2 good notes in the whole song. Ouch. Dwag was off on that one.

Todrick was pretty cool tonight. The low notes scared me at first but he pulled it off.

Michael reminded me of a wedding singer tonight, but he is awesome. This guy is in it to win!  

Cara is turning into Paula with these tears. Spare me!

Buh bye Andrew  and Aaron


Girls Idol Night

March 9th, 2010 at 9:53 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, General Talk, The Rhode Show

What the hell judges! Did anyone forget to tell Katie that she missed the majority of the notes?  

Siobhan looked great and was fabulous tonight! She put her own spin on a slow song and made people excited to watch. Simon is a hypocrite and needs to review the tape cause she was great.

Really cool song choice by Lacey but I wanted to take a little nap. That whole sitting on the stage is really cheesy.  But I think she is awesome. She definitely has an eclectic voice which differentiates her from the rest of the crowd.

Really Katelyn? That was ridiculous…..especially with that Casio keyboard~! Simply terrible!

Ummm Didiis just ok for me. She is kind of drab. She did a good job with the song, but I just don’t see her being a star. I could see her on the radio, but not in concert. She actually makes me want to slit my wrists because she is just blah. I would love to know what is going through Cara’s head when she says “one of most favorite moments in the show”.  Not seeing it!

Paige was awful tonight! Such a beautiful song…..BOTCHED! Not to mention the song is so popular now due to fact Michael Jackson’s brother sang it at his funeral it was way to big for her.

Crystal rocks my world! The girl is dead on every week. She is in this to win and she will be one of the last 2 standing. By far the best performance of the night.

What are these people not getting? Its really not to difficult to pick out a song that showcases your voice. Perhaps they should have let me through to the next round when I auditioned so I could show them how to do it.

Wow Lilly! What’s up with this song? She is much better then that. It was too safe her. She pulled it together at the end but I wish she closed the show with something crazy. She will be fine though cause shes the bomb diggity.

Not too impressed tonight. Buh bye to Katie and Paige this week. Next week will be Didi and Katelyn.


Buh Bye Haeley, Jermaine, Michelle and John

March 5th, 2010 at 12:12 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, The Rhode Show

Job well done America! You got it right this time!


Girls Night!

March 3rd, 2010 at 10:13 pm by under American Idol, Entertainment, General Talk, The Rhode Show

Psyched about the girls tonight. They are much better then they guys this season.

Great way to start the show Crystal. Shes way cool. Crystal is herself, and I dont think shes going to change for Hollywood. She’s a keeper.

Haeley looks adorable but she really needs to go home and make some more headbands because singing is not in her future. And when she goes home, she can take Lacey with her. Although she has a fun rockstar look, her vocals are awful and her song choices have never been good. 

Katie is your all around American Girl. Shes natural and adorable. Great song choice.  She is one of the few that actually hit the notes and she has a great upper register voice. Although she did not blow me away, she is still great and will last for a while.    

Dreadful Didi! Please go home soon.

I thought Michelle started off good, but killed it at the end. Outfit was way hot, but song was very weird! She will last a few weeks, but not till the end. If Simon and Cara think that was her best performance, then clearly the others were a zero!

I love Lilly! Shes in it for the win and based on tonights performances she should! She reminds me of Norah Jones. She knows she has to mix it up and she does every week. I hope next week she does some Lita Ford and whacks it up on stage. She stands out in a crowd.

Katelyn looked beautiful at the piano.  I really loved her tonight! Very classy, piano was hot, and she really has a beautiful voice. Cant wait to see what she comes up with next week, hopefully more keys.

Dont really understand Paige tonight. Definately not her best performance for me. Kind of pitchy and it leaves me wondering why she would pick a Kelly Clarkson song and not mix it up a bit.  Not impressed and shes really better then that.

Siobhan had a great song choice. The outfit didnt match the song, but that last note made up for it. A few notes that were off, but she was one of the best performers tonight. Very unique gal. Shes a keeper.

Where are all of the Taylor Hicks of this season? Fast tunes, dancing, having fun? These gals are too serious!

My top choices for the night: Katelyn, Siobhan, Crystal, and Lilly

Whos going home first: Haley, Lacey and Didi.


American Idol Boyz

March 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 pm by under American Idol

Finally!!! Someone starts the show with a good song choice!!!

Michael was awesome tonight. Confident, smooth and dead on with his vocals.  Great way to start the night.

I would love to chat about Johnbut I fell asleep during his karaoke performance. BORING. BORING. BORING.

Casey. Really man? Great guitar playing but the vocals were just OK. Had he rocked out a bit more with the vocals and jumped around the stage like a rock star, I could have gotten over the lame vocals. And whats in the box?

Now how cute is Alex Lambert? Seriously folks. Little girls must love him, hes adorable. He picked a great song. Hes not trying to be someone else and I like his style. Right on.

Not impressed with Todrick tonight. Very first note scared me and the rendition was awful…not to mention he looked and sounded like a 6 flags entertainer! Randy told him tonight not to change the song around too much, which really goes against everything the judges say. I don’t think that his songs are “too far out there”.  If Adam Lambert’s song were not too far out there, then Todrick is OK. I think he will stick around for a bit.

Jermaine is not going to win with that outfit choice. He was OK, not going to write home about him. I’m not seeing him in lights anytime soon.

I really liked Andrew. I think Randy was off. Although he didn’t blow my socks off, he was soothing and enjoyable. Job well done.

Aaron has my vote for the cheesiest song of the night.  He sang it well, but song choice was just atrocious! Hes young, but I don’t think he will last much longer.

I don’t know how Tim ever got voted into the top 10,000 never mind the top 12! Seriously people, who is voting for this kid? Thank god he had fun because it will be his last hurrah! Simon missed the boat on this one. I will speak with him about his remarks tomorrow.  

Definately pitchy for Lee but awesome song choice for him. I think he will improve alot in the next few weeks and he will stick around.

My first choices to go buh-bye: Jermain, Arron and Tim.

Last but not least, how are instruments even allowed on American Idol. This is a singing competition, if you want to play your guitar, perhaps they should have tried out for America’s got talent?

Looking forward to the gals tomorrow night. Hopefully they will kick the beat up a notch!
