Top 10 Boys American Idol - Wed, Mar. 2, 2010

I'm not sure why I'm watching this season. Nobody has stage presence this year, Oh well...I am tuning in and am trying to make it through. Tonight, I am almost bored to tears...4 guys in.

Michael Lynche "A Man's World' I didn't feel the stage presence that the judges raved about. He's one of the better guys imo, but not a good way to start the show. Slow and boring for me.

John Park "Gravity" I'm pretty sure I've told you before, but I can't even describe how big of a John Mayer fan I am so I won't get started. For your sake. :) When I heard that John Park would be singing this song I thought, "Oh no. Unless he's going to change it up it's not going to be good." This is a really great song and it's hard to top JMayer and his guitar. It's soulful. It's bluesy. It's not meant to be sung without feeling.

Casey James "I Don't Wanna Be" Aye...he's one of the better ones, too imo but I wasn't crazy about this one. He sounded flat and it didn't stand out to me.

Alex Lambert "Everybody Knows" I still like this guy's raspy voice, but imo he was trying to enunciate like John Legend enunciates.

Todrick Hall "What's Love Got to Do With It" The best of the night, up to this point IMO. The judges didn't like it, and I don't know what they want from him. I liked that he changed up the song a little bit.

Jermaine Sellers "What's Going On" I'm not sure what to make of this guy. I thought the arrangement wasn't too bad, but I got side-tracked while he was singing. I just know that the judges didn't like him.

Andrew Garcia "You Give Me Something" I would put him the group of boys that are good, and he did fine with this song, but he hasn't been able to top his version of "Straight Up" so I'm hoping he's able to pull something out of his pocket next week.

Aaron Kelly "My Girl" He definitely has a country singer's voice. He's not bad, but I'm not sold on him.

Tim Urban "Come on Get Higher" Love this song...it's a great song to be able to take and make your own. I agreed with Ellen that he'd probably be a great actor...the music stage doesn't seem to be his thing.

Lee DeWyze "Lips of An Angel" Since Andrew didn't blow everyone away last week, he lost his last place spot to this guy, the guy who came out of nowhere. I thought it was a good way to end the show.

All in all, nobody blow me out of the water. How about you?

Top 12 Boys American Idol - Feb. 24, 2010

After watching a lackluster night from the girls, I was hoping the guys would really bring it. Turns out that most of them didn't. Please excuse the late posting.



Todrick Hall Although I wasn't crazy about the arrangement and he didn't really sing, I give him mad props, dog, for taking it and putting his very own spin on it. Sadly, that's the only memorable part for me, b/c it didn't stick with me. [Remember him from the auditions]

Aaron Kelly When he was talking, he reminded me of David Archuleta. Then he sang, and I wasn't impressed. [Didn't remember him from the auditions]

Jermaine Sellers I didn't know the song, and I wasn't blown away. [Remember him from the auditions]

Tim Urban Sorry, but he just annoyed me. Actually, a lot of the guys did tonight. [Didn't remember him from the auditions]

Joe Munoz It's probably because he's Hispanic, but he reminded me of Jorge from last season. I liked Jorge, but wasn't so crazy about Joe. Sorry Joe! [Vaguely remember him from the auditions]

Tyler Grady Oh.my.goodness. He really loves the 70s apparently, and that's fine. But it'd be nice for him to make what he sings current. [Remember him from the auditions]

Lee DeWyze I had never seen him before, but he was the best up until this point. He changed the song up a little bit, and that's what I'm looking for. [Didn't remember him from the auditions]

John Park Not a good song choice, a bit indulgent (thanks for the word, Simon!) and I thought he was better in the auditions. [Remember him from the auditions]

Michael Lynche I don't mean this in a bad way, because there's nothing wrong with it but I am having a hard time getting past his physique. For me, he doesn't fit the singer profile. This is not a bad thing, but he is just a really big person! I think if I can get past the part where my brain is going, "What is this muscle man doing on stage?" I'll be able to actually listen to the music. From what I remember, though, he did pretty good. [Remember him from the auditions]

Alex Lambert I like his raspy vice. Can I just say that they shouldn't have put him through solely on the fact that his last name is Lambert and his first is four letters that begins with an "A"? :) [Vaguely remember him from the auditions]

Casey James Yes, I liked him. And no, it's not because he likes to take his shirt off. I think he's got raw talent. [Remember him from the auditions]

Andrew Garcia I thought he was the best of the night, for what it's worth. Having said that, if you saw him sing "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul in the auditions, it was nowhere near that. I agreed with Simon that it wasn't as original as it could have been. He should be around for a while. [Remember him from the auditions]

The guys were only slightly better than the girls, and I'm looking forward to the results show to see who goes home, not because I'm worried about who might go home. I'm heartless, I know. There's just a lot missing this season (besides my obvious favorite) that last year had. I'm still holding on to hope. :)
