American Idol is our family’s favorite show at the moment. All four of us love to watch it! Last season I needed a serious vent session after each show so I figured that since this is a good spot for my ranting (and several other family members are watching AI too)…I would post MY critiques each week! LOL!
To start, I believe this is going to be the best season yet. I was very impressed tonight with the talent displayed by the guys! Jim and I both had a tough time narrowing down our favorites. We usually are on the same page with our critiques.
So just for fun (in order of who I remembered first not necessarily a ranking)…
Jospeh – all the way! I LOVED his version of Micheal B.s “How Do I Live With Out You”. The judges were harsh tonight. Too harsh (often I think they are too soft). He sang with soul and passion and was so stirring.
Bo – I can’t believe I am rooting for the rocker but I loved him. I think his voice is awesome. Drift Away was a perfect choice for him!
Scott – This guy truly has a phenomenal voice. I would have rated him higher but not into his song choices yet.
Constantine – Again, I can’t believe another rocker is one of my top picks but I loved his song choice and I enjoyed his style tonight.
Mario – Not into the song but I love his stage presence and I think he is idol material. We’ll see if he can step up his game.
Jared – Beautiful voice tonight – loved him. I think he could step up the charisma though.
Anwar – Sweet guy with a lot of talent but hated the song.
David – Another guy with an outstanding voice but he blew it tonight.
Travis – Boring song awesome voice. I am getting a little tired of the soul style personally thus a lower ranking. I think he could have given Rueben a run for his money though.
Anthony – I think Anthony is full of great potential but he faltered tonight. Poor song choice and too much vibrato. He killed the slides with his abrupt climbs. I don’t want to see him go though because I still have faith he can do this.
Nikko – Not bad by any stretch but he gave me nothing to remember him by either.
Judd – Fun fun fun but I don’t know that he really has the voice to pull this off. We’ll see how he does with other styles if he gets that far.
Who did we vote for? (Actually I couldn’t find the number in time after the show so we technically didn’t but I do like to vote)……
Unanimous decision in our household – JOSEPH!
Which two would we vote off? Again, we agreed: Nikko and Judd
That’s our 2 cents;)
*I know I am behind in my postings from last week. I’ll catch up soon!

We agree with your choice (so does Grammy, that is who she picked!!!)
I wish I’d have remembered everyones names so I could better match your comments. Here’s how I see it:
I LOVE that there are 2 rockers!(Bo and Constantine) I like drift-away guy better tonight(Bo) – he has a better look I think – but like them both. The last guy was my fav (Mario)and I think his combo of charisma/talent is going to get him places with this competition. I liked the first guy, nikko, but think he’ll improve with better song choices – still liked him a lot. Since I don’t recall all of the names it’s easier to say who I would send packing than who I would keep. I’d say goodbye to blond boy (Anthony)who reminded judges of Clay – I agreed with them on that though remember liking his voice previously. He’s talented but I think there are many others who outsing/outperform him. I’d also lose the guy who did that elvisy type song(Judd)… was great energy & performance – good with the crowd and america will like his look – but not much to his voice – at least not tonight. The song probably had all of 3 or 4 notes in the melody line. Not good choice at all. There was a guy – 2nd one to perform I think (Scott)- Simon really didn’t like his look – does not have the american idol look… HOWEVER! I thought he had such a smooth nice voice and that he could become a very well-respected ballad/love-song singer and that looks could kick the bucket if people would just listen to the voice… they’d swoon without even seeing him and it wouldn’t matter.
