Do any of these birth years make anyone else cringe?

Brooke White (1983)
David Archuleta (1990)
Carly Smithson (1983)
David Cook (1982)
Ramiele Malubay (1987)
Chikezie (1985)
Syesha Mercado (1987)
Jason Castro (1987)
Kristy Lee Cook (1984)
Michael Johns (1978)

Michael Johns is the “old guy” and born the same year as me.  Waaaahhhh…

Is this even worth a post? Bad, bad night. Didn’t overly enjoy anyone. I kept saying everyone was boring. Syesha I guess was nice. Brooke was cute as normal. Chikezie was enteraining but a little corny. Jason was very corny. David A. was so much better than last week but a bit forgettable. Carly may have been my favorite of the night.

Who should go?  How shall I pick?  Ramiele I think is my top pick.  Amanda could go too and I’d be ok with that.

Go see more opinions on tonight here. 

OK, sorry for another post on AI but if you don’t know about DialIdol and you’re an AI fan, you might want to check it out.  I used it heavily during Chris Daughtry’s season. Basically it’s software a guy wrote and it uses your telephone line to dial the contestants’ numbers over and over.   You can pick one person or several in a particular order.  I think I got in about 300 calls a night for Chris.

ANYWAY.

The cool thing is it keeps track of how many calls go in for each person and then predicts based on a bunch of statistics who is going.  I found that once it gets better the fewer contestants there are.  Well, if you hop over there today, you’ll find that David A. is NUMBER ONE and not in danger of being in the bottom 3 (unlike the rest of the group).  I’m telling you, if a guy can forget his words and perform that poorly and STILL be number one, I’m not sure he’s going ANYwhere.  Hopefully this is a fluke and wonder boy will return next week and earn his top spot.

syesha – good. she’s just doesn’t do anything for me though. she’s like cookie cutter good, i don’t find her unique and interesting.
chikezie – who was that?? that was awesome! completely different person came out tonight. if he keeps pulling stuff out like that, he’s going to make it a lot farther than i thought.
ramiele – boring. again. she’s so good but i think she’s in danger.
jason – aw…he’s so cute and the song was so sweet.
carly – wow. i love how she’s so emotionally open. it’s great to feel like you’re going on a journey with them.
david c. – i feel like he’s trying to be a little like daughtry and that’s not cool with me. at the same time, that means he’s good. * Update. I realized the stylist made is comb over go the other way and his hair looks so much better lol
brooke – very nice. though if she’s this emotional at top 12, think of a top 2 moment
david – way too much going on. make it stop
amanda – did not enjoy that in the least.
michael – nice but i tended to tune out. sort of like pretty elevator music.
kristy – not. good. she’s on the chopping block this week for sure.
david a. – david, i love you to death but this week was not very good at all.

How many people are going this week? I would say Kristy is the worst and then maybe David or Amanda if two go.

My favorites from the night? I really liked Carly, Chikezie, Jason, Brooke and David.

Wow, for once I was spot-on on who went this week.  Very excited about the top 12!!

Wow, I love the 80’s on the girls.  Suited them well.  I think it’s just I liked those songs they sang.  Almost every time I told Emma, oo, this is a good song!

Brooke White – I believe she was my favorite of the night.  I continue to be a big fan of hers.  She has the right balance of humbleness and ability to glory in a compliment.

Amanda Overmeyer –  That was AWESOME.

Carly Smithson – Fantastic

Kristy Lee Cook – I liked her version of the song.

Ramiele – Good but a little boring

Kady  – very forgettable

Syesha – good but just I felt blah after listening to it

Asia’h – She’s peppy alright but I just don’t think in the end her voice matches the others

I’d be happy if Kady and Asia’h did not make it to the Top 12.

I thought tonight was a really good night.  Really enjoyed hearing some of the 80’s.  You know, I’m thinking the 60’s and 70’s may have been rough for some of them because they were born, oh, in the NINETIES!   Anyway, my favorites from tonight:

David Archuleta – He is just awesome.  I would agree with Simon though that he should have stayed at the piano.  I think he sounded better there.

David Hernandez – I thought it was pretty strong for being a Celine Dion song.

David Cook – It was awesome what he did with that song.  I still stand by my opinion on his hair but the song was awesome.

Michael Johns – I really liked the song and he did well but I felt like he was a bit forgettable unfortunately.

Jason Castro – Probably my favorite performance of his yet.  And I agree again with Simon that he says he keeps getting better.

Luke must go this week.  I felt he was the weakest.  And somewhere in there Chikeze and Danny fell in there.  Of course, after seeing Danny’s Christmas video, I can see my dislike of his personality from the get-go is well supported.  I REALLY do not want him in the top 12 although I think vocally he deserves it more than Luke.
