It's finally here...the REAL show is beginning...doesn't it feel like it takes FOREVER to get to this part...? Man! Oh well...let's see how they do, 'cause so far I have been seriously underwhelmed.
Things that will be interesting to watch...
-how much will Kara "lay" on Simon?
-how many jokes will Ellen crack now that we are on the "big stage"?
-will there be any good makeovers?
***Simon's wearing a cardigan:)
So far they all look about the same...too bad.
Theme: Rolling Stones...too bad that one kid that thought he was from the 70s got the boot the first week...this week would have been a dream for him.
Cocky boy is up first (you may know him as Michael...I will call him cocky boy from here on out)...nice scarf in your interview, by the way. "Miss you". Lot's of falsetto...whatever...he's full of himself. If you are "Michael" fan be prepared to get nothing but annoyance from me on this kid...there's one every year...there may be more then one this year. Amen on the corny dancing Simon...wow...he's just cocky.
****There's a strange feeling this show...I don't know what it is...things seem weird and off...I think they have all been on the show so long that they aren't taking it very serious, which makes me feel a little bad for the contestants.
Didi is second up. "Play with Fire". Her outfit is killing me...does she have a body suit on under that vest...you remember those...the kind that snap under your crotch (yep, wrote crotch on the blog). Kind of a boring song...her mouth is almost as big as Mic's. Sounds nasally a bit...whatever again. (joke number one for Ellen). Judges liked her...that's good for her.
Casey. "It's all over now"...oh...he's got the guitar....one handed guitar at that. I don't see the appeal of him...judges? My heart is not racing...(joke number 2 for Ellen). I'm glad Simon wasn't as sold on him.
Lacey. "Ruby Tuesday". Little quartet on stage...nice. I don't get the top of her outfit. I do like her unique voice, at times. Sometimes it sounds great and other times it's nails on a chalkboard. Lily should have been here over Lacey...sorry Lacey...and this has nothing to do with this performance...I actually didn't mind it...Lily is just better. I'm with Randy (shocking I know)..."I was actually pleasantly surprised too".
Andrew. "Give me Shelter" (Kara's first Simon cuddle). Okay...we all know David LOVES this kid. I'm afraid he will never get positive feedback from the judges after the Paula song praise. So...I hope they quit that and just start listening to his voice...he has a great voice and seems like a VERY nice kid...not like cocky boy. Really, just a great voice. Jam it Randy....I didn't hear "pitchy"...I may be with Ellen on this one. Hello? Kara? He didn't write the song...Thank you Simon...she is taking it too literally...he wasn't even alive during the Vietnam war. I'm glad Simon said what he did...he has hope for him...good. David will want to punch Kara in the face, of course, he does all the time any way:)
Katie. "Wild Horses". We have seen enough of this girl's hometown and family. Here comes the double standard...young girls need to sound younger...the young boys can do whatever they want. That backlit shot looks kinda like my girl Kat McPhee...did anyone see her on "Community"?...she was all over my boy Joel...I didn't recognize her at first with her short blonde hair...she did good. And this Katie has got a serious voice on her...some of the notes sound off to me (I know:) but overall I liked it. Technically perfect?...she's like 12 year's old...what do you expect? Simon is being extra nice tonight...engagement looks nice on him.
Tim (I'm gonna call him Disney). "Under my Thumb". I'm telling you Disney...pick this kid up...create a show around he and his 9 siblings...then he can put out an album like every other star of every other show on your channel. Nothing exciting about this kid for me...he has a fine voice...he can strum a guitar...whatever....those little girls are gonna call...he may hurt Baby Aaron's numbers 'cause I'll give him that he is cuter then Baby Aaron. Oh no...Tim, don't respond to the judges...just stand there with your sparkly white teeth. Dear Simon, no rolling stones fans would listen or vote for this kid anyway...it's the tweens I'm telling you...the tweens...turn on DISNEY.
Siobahn. Interesting family/dad. There are times when she looks really pretty...but her hair and outfits and make-up kill it a lot. "Painted Black"(I really like this song). Wow...she's skinny...like Mic Jagger skinny:) Nice military boots with your molly ringwald (died black) dress. She just sounds nasally to me. Oh, so the judges liked that screechy note you did that one time...so we are going to have to hear it every time...(not so) nice to have you back one trick pony Adam Lambert. (See? Kara said his name...blech) Of course, I said his name in a bad way and she loves him. See? Simon said she would have to scream at the end of every song too...I have told you once, I have told you a thousand times...I COULD BE A JUDGE ON THIS SHOW!
Lee (Eliot Yamin #2). I like this kid...he's nice...I'm mixed on his voice. "Beasts of Burden" Okay...I REALLY enjoyed that. Not mixed on his voice tonight...i could listen to that over again. (Ellen...#3). I'm glad they like him...I think America does too. I don't agree about his personality...I think he is just such a nice guy...I think America will see it. Although, I am really glad Simon thinks he has a great song and is pushing him.
Paige. I get sick of the single parent stick...I'll leave it at that. I don't like this girl. "(I didn't hear what she is singing". Does the leather strap around her neck make her country? And those shorts are B-A-D. I think it may even be a shortsuit...I wore one to my sister's graduation in 1993...it wasn't a good look then...just saying. Laryngitis excuse...I'm over her.
Aaron. Ohhhhh, this kid needs to GO. He just made a comparison of his singing to a lack of ability in his adoptive mom and says he doesn't know where he gets it from since his mom doesn't sing....Ummmmm...maybe your birth family? "Angie". What's with all the sitting on the stairs? (First makeover...faux hawk and lots of foundation). Maybe the song is "An-jay"?:) With the new hair...he actually may be good competition for Disney. He has a decent voice...I just don't like him. (Ellen #4). The judges just love this kid...what is Kara always talking about...ugh she bugs me.
Crystal. She is probably my favorite of the year...I think she has such a great voice and I just really enjoy listening to her. (makeover #2...look closely at her whiter teeth). Do you know who she reminds me of...Julia Stiles... "You can't always get what you want". I would like to see her do a duet with Melissa Etheridge. That was FANTASTIC...great voice...great performer...just naturally good. (#5 for Ellen). No Kara...she doesn't come off like she's "got this"...that's cocky boy...See...I knew there was something bothering her last week...something is going on with this girl...I hope this girl goes all the way!

I'm not going to do well this year, because all the people the judges love I can't stand...so I haven't fully decided how I am voting...my taste or what I think America will do...so here I go:
Bottom 3: Didi, Lacey, Casey
Going home: Lacey (but I think it could be Didi)
My final 3 (totally my like...I'm going with my likes, not the judges): Lee, Crystal, Andrew
Winner: Crystal
MY CHOICES FOR BOTTOM 3 IS DIDI, LACY, ANDREW.

WINNER DA TA DA*****AARON(NOT MY PERSONAL CHOICE BUT THE LITTLE GIRLS ARE GA GA OVER HIM.
CLAYMATE**JUDY
Final 3-Crystal, Siobahn, and Andrew. With Crystal becoming the new queen of AI.
This week-
Casey, Paige, and Lacey...with Lacey going home.
I don't have time to watch the warm, fuzzy stuff, so who knows about their families so much...
Michael--he is good, but I agree that he seems cocky and that will get old with America.
Didi--I don't get her. Soon it will be time to go, but not tonight. She smiles constantly when she talks. Why?
Casey--I really like his voice, but he doesn't really have much charisma. I am betting that he gets stronger and stronger. (Final three)
Lacey--Time to go. I like her, but her voice does not do it for me.
Andrew--Goodness, I love him. I hope he will hang in there. He is too cute.
Katie--she reminds me of Linda Ronstadt, like crazy. She is not doing great--soooo young. Probably has a good fan base though.
Tim--ugh!!!I am done with him, although I thought that he did pretty well tonight. I don't like his little "I am so cute and unspoiled by the world" look on his face. Go away soon, but not tonight.
Siobahn--My little wife loves Siobahn. I don't get it. I think she is stiff and, while she can scream, she doesn't have that much control of her voice in runs. We watched her family part because we are fascinated by her Asperger ways and wondered if it is a family thing. Yes, I think so. We are also betting on home schooled. (We can say that because we both homeschooled our kids a bit.)
Lee---LOVE HIM. and loving him more all the time. I love this alternative high school kid!!
Paige--wow. Even I know those shorts were a mistake. Time to go girlie, although I thought she had her best performance tonight.
Aaron--UGH!!! Those tweeners are loving him for sure--especially the little cowgirls. Doesn't he just make you think of the best kid singer in Payson, who always sings in the Bandstand at Onion Days? And his mom and ward members are so proud?
Crystal--I wonder what her story is. I love her a ton, but wonder if she will handle the pressure. I hope so. She really does look like Julia Stiles' sort of rough cousin.
Bottom 3: Aaron, Didi, Paige.
Going home: Paige
Final Three: Casey, Lee, Crystal
Winner: Crystal.
I'm doing this at work...so it'll be short...BUT I HAVE A LOT TO SAY. Later 'gators. But here are my picks:
Winner: Crystal. I wish it would be Siobhan (yep...I adore her)(but her aspergers will get in the way).
Top 3: crystal, Siobhan, Andrew.
Bottom 3 tonight: Casey, Aaron and Paige with Paige going, going, gone.
