my tuesday night obsession.

AMERICAN IDOL THRU THE EYES OF THE GARVEY’S

kara strutting in her over-the-knee black boots was a sight to see. looked smokin’ for sure. you go girl. ryan and ellen kissed. loved it! take some of that attention away from simon. we’re all over it.

miley cyrus graced us with her presence as the surprise guest. really? really!?! how can she be the guest mentor when she needs a singing mentor herself? that’s like a dog that can’t bark teaching another dog how to bark. i think you all understand my feelings about miss cyrus. plus, it’d be nice if the next time you are on AI, you’d wearing some pants instead of booty shorts. and i’m moving on…

i have some obvious favorites – siobhan magnus, crystal bowersox, and the classic mr. big  mike. here’s a recap through my eyes:

1. lee – first out the gate. sang ok to a song i didn’t know. not too much to comment besides i love his tone.
2. paige – boring. old fashioned. phil collins was a bad choice. as simon said “you are in serious trouble.”
3. tim -  corny song. love his hair, but that’s about all. it was a crazy little performance.
4. aaron – aerosmith was too big of a song for him. stick with miley cyrus cover songs. he belongs in the teen music world. kevin says it was too karaoke.
5. crystal – so happy she picked janis joplin. love, love. she is my favorite hippie.  the true shining star of this competition. even her dreadlocks are talented! it makes my heart swoon that you put out a carpet to perform on. as simon said “i wouldn’t change anything.”
6. big mike – when a man loves a woman made me love him even more. looking fine and sounding smooth. continually better every week.
7. andrew – he doesn’t sing, he talks to a beat. heard it through the grapevine is not a contemporary song and never will be. not very impressive. great shades, though.
8. katie – best performance from her so far in the competition. good song choice. looked very confident. don’t love her tone and was pitchy in parts, but she did a good job.
9. casey – lame-o song, yum-o face. my best advice is for him to drop american idol and become an abercrombie model. my heart melts. all i can say is a man that beautiful is a gift; a man that beautiful that can sing is a work of art. great job!
10. didi – this performance, although she needs to let go a little more, made me love ms. didi. loved the song choice. disagreed with the judges wholeheartedly (with the exception of her being too dramatic).
11. siobhan -  LOVE. that’s all i can say. oh yeah, and fierce hair. MY FAVORITE TONIGHT.

if it were up to me and kevin, we could take this from the top 11 to the top 5 tonight. my conclusion, based on tonight’s performances, is that paige should go home. say goodbye to the top ten, my friend. you’ve worn out your welcome.
