IDOL: fading fad???


i know that you know that idol’s back… just felt like yesterday since Camile Velasco enticed us with her Ready or Not audition piece. Now there’s a whole new search and well, as far as I’m concerned this one seems not as interesting as the other season.

Wrong move?

This year’s pattern is just totally the worst move they made since this craze started. Making 12 people sing in an hour is not exactly the most thrilling thing to watch. It becomes redundant, not just the singers but the judges as well. Just how different can one performance be from 11 others? It’s either you’re bad, worse and worst; or good, better and best; or mediocre, safe and okay; or if you’re lucky you’re classified as pitchy.

Monday’s recap


So first stop, Niko Smith, he did very well, screeched a little on “against the sun”, damn it! how I wish I remembered this song during my previous audition…. Anyways, Cowell was right though, he’s a very good singer but really needs to come out of his shell. I’ve never seen him without a hat… he’s kinda holding back that’s why the is nowhere to be found, have you seen it?

Verdict: Better


It’s definitely not with Scott Savol…. C’mon if Kurt Nielsen looked like a hobbit this man looked like an offspring of two different alien creatures. And he’s totally weird. He is no RUBBEN!!!!!!!!!!

Verdict: Worse


Anthony on the other hand proved that he’s no Clay Aiken. There can only be one American geeky superstar. If he keeps on singing the same kind of songs for the succeeding weeks, he’ll be gone right before Ryan Seacrest’s spray net comes off.

Verdict: Okay


Bo Bice actually do have a nice voice. And he looked better without the mustache so he better shave it off.

Verdict: Good


Travis Tucker is definitely good looking, My Cherie Amour isn’t exactly the best contest piece so he has to make the right decision next time and put a stop to all the trying to be cute moves cuz frankly, he doesn’t need it.

Verdict: Safe


Constantine is another guy who need not try to be cute, cuz he’s gorgeous. Cowell is right, Bo may have outsung him but his charisma is hard to match. Bo’s 29 and he looks like it, but Constantine don’t and man, what a height!

Verdict: Good


Anwar is my favorite male to win this competition, the Republicans may not agree with me cuz the last thing they would like is another black idol. But man, he’s something. I never thought moonriver can possibly be more than a soundtrack for a gloomy love story, let alone a contest piece. So go monkey-looking man…. (especially when he smiles)

Verdict: Best


Now David Brown, well, vocally he’s okay… but everytime I see him on screen, it’s always as if I have to be ready, for Arnold may suddenly appear. I can’t help but think that he looks like a predator… the hair says it all.

Verdict: Medicore


Jared Yates, oh, Jared Yates, poor boy, I dunno if he sang a Marc Anthony song, but if he did, bad move, cuz he’s only selling himself to the Hispanics and he doesn’t look like one, he looks like an Iraqi. Plus, well, he was beyond pitchy and it was definitely cheesy.

Verdict: Worst


Judd Harris have tried something nobody has ever done before, imitate an imitator. C’mon, if he thinks that America is ready for another pen salesman he got it all wrong. Primarily because he’s goodlooking, you have to be cartoonish enough to pull off a Jon Peter Lewis.

Verdict: Mediocre


Joseph Murena is what can best be described as the yawning singer. Everytime he sings, I felt as if he’s yawning and stopping himself from falling asleep. He have a very weird voice and a very weird look. What more can I say???

Verdict: Okay


And finally, the cocky of all cockys, it’s Mario Vasquez (or what Seacrets pronunce as Vaskwez), first time I saw him, I think twice about he’s being Mexicano or Latino, I was hoping that he’s Pinoy, but he’s obviously not… the smug attitude proves it all. He’s good-looking, a good singer, and performer alright, but he should keep in mind that so was Justin Guarini, and look where his cockiness has taken him, oh right, nowhere, ha!

Verdict: Good

Who should be expelled?
Jared and Scott

Tuesday’s sum up


Vonzell, Vonzell, I love this lass. One of my faves. She’s so relax. I don’t feel no competitiveness with her. and she’s so light and bubbly. Though, I thought she was a little nervous that night, it was still a good performance. Can’t wait to see more of her. And she smiles like Jennifer Garner.

Verdict: Better


Amanda Avila, I’m still hoping that she’s a Filipina, you’ll never know, maybe she’s a relative of Rita. I went gaga over Cowell’s comment about being her microphone on the next life… it will be featured on my next writing.. why Cowell is not gay…. anyways, I thought she sings very much like Jessica Simpson, the belting, the sound, so Newlywed, I dunno if it’s just me who noticed it, but that’s the first thing I detected.

Verdict: Okay


Janay obviously sang a Jessica Simpson song but failed to match even half of the singer’s performance. I don’t like this girl. I think she’s no star at all. Plus, she’s TH to the max. trying to look old, when well in fact she looks too old. Trying to be a star when in fact she’s a moon (I swear that sounded funnier in my head). I do think she’s needs to be axed soon…

Verdict: Worse


Now it’s time for another one of my faves, the beautiful, the naïve-looking girl from the farms of the state where she came from, Carrie Underwood. I’m not a great fan of country music, but if it means hearing more of her, man, I would love it. She’s definitely a lot better than Kimberly Caldwell and much much more pretty. She’s my female bet to win this contest.

Verdict: Best


And my belief in Carrie just grew stronger after hearing Nadia sang. She’s not a very strong singer. At the end of the day, this contest will be about singing, and if she can’t take a high note don’t think people will ever feel compelled to vote for her. So if she can, better show it, cuz the look may just not be enough to carry her through…

Verdict: Good


I’ve been hearing rumors that Melinda Lira may be a Filipino, hmm… she looks like Asian and the surname do sound Pinoy, but we’ll never know… all I know is that she’ do have a nice voice, but I don’t think the cellulites can carry her to the top. Poor girl.

Verdict: Mediocre


Sarah Mather is probably one of the prettiest among the bunch. I love her look, very exotic. She did pick a nice song, but it just doesn’t fit her voice She does have a very odd sound. I hope she gets another chance cuz I like her….

Verdict: Bad


Lindsay is really pretty. But the song choice, totally safe. I dunno what happened to her… but her voice is really fascinating… wahehe…

Verdict: Safe


Celina Rae is probably the most Hollywood looking among them all. Her nose looks like a product of Belo’s group. She’s as skinny as Lara Flynn Boyle and she resembles a lot of actresses. I like her too but the voice is a little weak. I dunno we’ll see..

Verdict: Safe


Mikhaila Gordon is a very different story. Here’s a girl who need not be lectured about how to look stupid. Cowell put it perfectly when he said that half of the audience would find her amusing and half would find her annoying. She’s a 17-year old who looks like she have a tattooed eyebrow. Plus the mole isn’t exactly that attractive. I dunno but she looks like the snake of Valentina. She gave a good performance but this girl is bound to be history soon…

Verdict: Okay


Jessica Sierra looks okay, a little overweight but she’ll do fine. She gave a good performance but I would love to see her give a it’s now or never act, just to see how much she’s really capable of, I feel as if she’s holding back a lot more.

Verdict: Good


And finally, the aloha of all alohas, Aloha Mischeaux was my first pick to be oust. For looks alone. What I find really funny about her is that Randy told her there’s a little Beyonce in her and she goes, "the Aloha in me". Okay, lady, prove that you’re original. And what des she sings? Work it out! How clever! Now, I really realized that she should not be compared to Beyonce, thanx a lot!

Verdict: Better

Who should be expelled?
Sarah and Janay
Who will be expelled?
Sarah and Janay

Wednesday reviewed

The votes were in, America has decided, for Guys, I knew that Jared is a definite bye-bye, but I didn’t think Judd would be eliminated this soon. God damn it! I would have to see another performance from that son of aliens…. What kind of stupid pricks would vote for him? I mean it!



On the women’s side, Sarah is a given, I really wished she wasn’t ousted but what can I do? It was a little shocking that Melinda got booted out this early; I really thought janay should be cut off. That little bitch… hate her…. man, I felt sorry for Melinda, she was definitely shaken

Hai,, idol lifedoesn’t get any more upsetting than this….
