Can you have a sad hangover?

May 14, 2009 by Amy 7 Comments

Cause I think I have one.  It is no surprise I’m sure that I was sad about Danny leaving Idol.  Yeah, I cried.  A lot.  Not an ugly cry but a long and slow cry while I replayed his goodbye song over and over  (gah, yes, i’m a little fangirl inside like that). If I thought Tuesday’s rendition was amazing, this one beat it by a mile.   It was obvious he was singing to his wife and I’m usually not one prone to caring about Hallmark moments, but that one put in a puddle.  Maybe I AM prone to Hallmark moments and that’s why I hate Lifetime and Hallmark movies.  Hmm.  It was just hard knowing it’s only been 10 months since he said goodbye to her and in one of the biggest moments of his life he didn’t have her there with him to support him.  And you could just SEE his emotion all over his face.  This is the part that kills me every time.

Ack.  It was just so beautiful.  (On a side note, his lips remind me of Elvis there.)  And knowing that he was just one week away from beating Adam (or at least having the chance to) hurt a little too. So yeah, I’m sad.  I know he’ll do well and I’ll scream for him at the Idol Concert and hopefully get his autograph and then proceed to buy every record he ever makes.  It’s all good.  Or it will be.

All I can say now about Idol is Kris FTW!

And I may as well plug my web site here.  If you want to keep up with him sans Idol, check out IHeartDannyGokey.com

American Idol Top 36

February 12, 2009 by Amy 8 Comments

Although the episode of American Idol itself was kind of boring, it was nice to see less drama and some really good talent on the screen most of the night.  I actually really liked the sing-off they had at parts.

I think the big shockers of course are Tatiana and Norman.  Both have good voices I think but how do you vote for that?

Danny Gokey is still my favorite.  I like his story, his personality, his background, his singing, his look.  I make-a-fan-site-love him.  And I might just do that.  His cousin has made a fan site for him.  A random fan has also started a site but it’s really hard to navigate and already isn’t up to date.  So yeah, maybe that is next.

Wow, off that tangent.

Other than that, I’m really happy overall with Top 36.  Top 12 is going to be extremely strong and I don’t think any of them can really lose.   If I had to pick Top 12 right now here’s who I’d pick:

Danny Gokey FTW, Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds (she’s really good and will be in there but I can’t get behind her for some reason), Matt Giraud, Mishavonna Henson, Ricky Braddy, Megan Corkery, Kai Kalama, Jackie Tohn, Brent Smith, Casey Carlson, Ricky Braddy (thx to Jaynee).
