Idol

March 28, 2006

Yes, I’m a closet Idol fan. I can’t deny it anymore. Actually I’m a reality TV junkie. Survivor, Idol, Apprentice are my favorites.

This season of Idol has been pretty good. Here’s the run down of the last 10.

Ace: His falsetto is good but his singing is bad. He should go soon.
Bucky: I really like his unassumptive personality. I don’t think he’s got enough talent to crack the top 5.
Elliott: Amazing voice but kind of a dud. Anastasia thought it was a good look for him when he moved the microphone up to cover up his jacked up teeth.
Katharine: Is it me or is she losing weight before our very eyes? She looks better each week and this gal can sing! She’s a top 5 finisher.
Kellie: I liked her version of “something to talk about”. I don’t understand Simon comparing her to Carrie Underwood. Kellie’s not attractive and her singing is lacking.
Lisa: No idea how she’s held on this long. She goes home tonight.
Mandisa: Top 4 finisher maybe the next Idol. WoW what a voice. In the end doubt she’ll finish #1 because of her size (just keepin’ it real). I look forward to her singing every week.
Paris: I have to admit I totally did not like Paris to start off with. Mainly because I felt she was advancing due to her pedigree. However I have to give her props her version of “fever” was off the hook! Top 4 finisher.
Taylor: He reminds of a nicer goofier George Clooney. I like Taylor. He brings it every week. I doubt he’ll be the Idol but he’ll make the top 5. Very entertaining.
Chris: And the next American Idol is… Chris Daughtry! His version of “Wanted Dead or Alive & Walk the Line” were the highlights of Idol so far. I’m curious if he’ll sing outside his alternative style at all. But if he doesn’t that would be fine with me. I’d really like to see him sing Alive’s “I Alone“ or cover some Nickelback and U2.

    I can probably count on my one hand how many times we have COMPLETELY agreed on an issue, but the time has come. I think your comments have nailed the newest “idols” perfectly. Simon got flustered and his God-complex went into high gear when the little “minx” winked at him so he lost all of his judgement in lieu of a good blush. Carrie Underwood she ain’t! Mandisa can bring it home at the end of her songs, but her vocals go sharp before she gets there, same with
    Ace who tries to get us all to forget that he really can’t sing by sustaining a fine falcetto at the end of his songs. That won’t work, the 4 Tops aren’t around to hire him anymore. Taylor still looks to me like he spent years preparing for Idol at the local Karioke bar and crashing weddings. Chris is going to bring it home. But from where I sit? A somewhat boring Idol season compared to last season. They can’t all be great like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
