Neil Diamond is pretty cool...but last night was karaoke at best, imo.....and is it me, or did it look like Chikeze was on the drums in the band last night? Speaking of which, I still wish he was on the show...and Amanda too. I miss those guys. LOL
Yeh yeh...HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THE TOP 5:
Jason Castro - "Forever in Blue Jeans" and "September Morn"
Forever in blue jeans and forever in dread locks...once again, you forever sound the same on every song. It just doesn't do anything for me. And apparently, Paula agrees, since she thought she heard you sing twice before you did.....hopefully you'll be gone before a September morn.
David Cook - "I'm Alive" and "All I Really Need Is You"
I'm alive and now all I really need is another aspirin. I've said it before...a couple songs you've done are ok, but overall, I am just NOT diggin your style of music or the sound of your voice. Others obviously enjoy you, but I find your songs monotonous and annoying, too much like today's style, and I can't stand today's music, which is probably why your music bothers me so much. Although you do know how to make the songs your own and sound different than the original artist, so I will give you that. But get over yourself already....you're not all that. And get a haircut, or at least a hair brush.
Brooke White - I'm a Believer" and "I Am ... I Said"
I'm a believer that this version sucked. It was SO karaoke and all I could think of was Donkey from Shrek. I am.....sure you'll be in the bottom if not voted off...... I said voted off.
David Archuleta - "Sweet Caroline" and "America"
Sweet Caroline!!! America loves you and I can't for the life of me figure out why....you are SO annoying and all your music, fast or slow, sounds the same on every song. It's predictable, boring and forgettable. At least you stopped singing songs with "messages". And by the way....it's "they'RE coming to America"...not "THEY coming to America"....
Syesha Mercado - "Hello Again" and "Thank the Lord for the Night Time"
Hello again! This first song wasn't so good for you...but thank the Lord for the night time, because you did SO much better on this song. I thought you sounded pretty dang good and it suited you well.
The contestants this year are so lackluster and I'm so bored already with this season. I don't have any favorite to win this thing, since I'm not really liking the remaining 5...but since AI is a popularity contest, I see David C and David A competing for top spot, with David C probably taking it, since his style and sound is SO today's crap.
Hopefully next year will be better. As I continually tell MrL9, who constantly harps that it's not about the talent or who actually can sing, but who is most popular...while this is true, it doesn't matter if this show is rigged or not, as obvious as it is...winning the show, does not make the singer better or more popular. Case in point....Daughtry......Aiken......Pickler....all doing better than the Idol that did win for that season. It's more for entertainment, than who actually wins, imo. And probably why Sanjaya stayed on so long last year, too.
Now I'm looking forward to "So You Think You Can Dance" (starting May 22)...now there's a talent show.
