Week Two Results: I DEFINITELY gots some satisfaction

THIS is AMERICAN IDOL!

I missed a bit of the opening, but we are now going into a group number . . . I HEART the group numbers. Rich, Cheesey, Goodness! They are singing, "Closer" by Ne Yo. I love this song. Oh hello Adam Lambert . . . Oh goodness, Welder Matt looks oh so uncomfortable - he shouldn't dance. This was MUCH better than last week's group number.

Here come the highlights and the results . . .

Allison is up first and she should go through. America has voted . . . and she is going to stand to the side. Jessie is brought down front, and she is standing next to Allison. Here comes Matt B. and he is standing next to the girls. One of these three is going through to the top 12. Randy hopes its Allison. After the nationwide vote, Allison is THROUGH TO THE TOP 12! And she gives yet another stunning rendition of Heart's "Alone"

Here come Megan and Chris. . . and they are sliding down. Here come Matt and Jeanine. . . judges didn't love them. . . and they are moving next to the other two. One of them is in the Top 12. Ryan's going to narrow it down. Jeanine is NOT in the Top 12. . . duh. One of the remaining three is through. Matt is NOT through to the Top 12. We're down to Megan and Chris. America voted . . .and . . . Chris Allen is THROUGH TO THE TOP 12! I LOVED him. I'm glad he's through. I know I disagree with the Rubbertoe on this one, but I really thought he did a good job last night. I think he's got some talent.

A little Idol mantage.

Here comes Brooke White. She's gonna preform an original song called "Please Hold Up My Heart". All of y'all who read the blog last year know that I HEART the Brooke White. Song is pretty good and has adult contemporary charts written all over it. You Go My Brooke!

The time draweth near for the sixth member of the Top 12 to be announced. Excuse me, I mean for Adam Lambert to be announced as the sixth member of the Top 12.

Here comes Mischavonna, Kai, Nick/Norman, Adam, and Jasmine . . . We talk to Mishavonna, Kai, and Jasmine . . . and they are NOT in the Top 12. That leaves us with Adam and Nick/Norman . . . and we'll find out after the break.

And during the break we learn about the Jonas Brothers movie . . . er, um . . .

And the results are that Nick is NOT through to the Top 12, but Adam is THROUGH to the Top 12! Hooray! Yay! And gave another spine tingling performance.

Well, we have gotten through yet another week of American Idol. So far, we have Alexis, Danny, Michael, Adam, Allison, and Chris in the Top 12. What do y'all think? Let us know!

Hollywood Round Two

THIS is American Idol
Simon has switched sides due to the er . . . um, lighting.
The judges gives something that seems akin to advice.
Here comes the group and hellooooooooooooooooo Adam Lambert.
We are once again going with the Billboard Number 1’s.

1. Jasmine – She’s singing Love Song by Sara Berellis (I’m sure I misspelled this). . . I think this is gonna be a really hard song for her to sing because it is so simple, and if I remember correctly she has a very strong voice. Here we go . . . oh my . . . it’s a wee low and she’s trying to inject soul into a song that really is more flighty in nature. That was a big mess, and I hate it because she’s got a good voice. The judges agree with me. They definitely like her, but I don’t think she’s going through. I don’t think she’s getting through this week, and I don’t think she’ll be back for the wildcard round.

2. Matt Giraud – Hmmm, he’s a dueling piano player . . . cool - He’s singing Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Bold choice . . . He seems nervous with a Belinda Carlisle vibrato. Strangely, it doesn’t seem to me that he’s putting much soul into it . . . kinda sounds like a weaker version of Chris Martin. Kara is not blown away. Paula thinks it was risky and thinks it was better than he rehearsed it. Simon thought it was kind of horrible, jerky, and uncomfortable. Randy thinks he has mad talents, but didn’t like this song. I think he’s done this week, but will be back for the wildcard round.

3. Jeanine Vailes – Simon thought she was a naughty little thing. She’s singing “This Love” by Maroon Five. And here we go again with the WRONG FRACKING SONG! All three of these contestants have had very good voices, but have chosen the wrong songs. I will say that she’s having better good moments in this performance than the other two. Paula thinks she has nice legs. Simon thinks she chose the wrong song. Randy thinks the legs are hot, but the song is wrong. Kara thinks that it was over done, and everything about it was wrong. I think that she won’t get through tonight, but has a slight chance at the WildCard round.

4. Nick Mitchell, aka Norman Gentle – I genuinely hope he blows it away because I think this boy has a good voice, but he has fracked around thus far. C’mon boy . . . UGH! It’s Norman! He’s doing “And I Am Telling You” . . . ugh! Why is he coming around like this. This is simply awful and if America votes him through they are fracking up. UGH! UGH! UGH! However, I have a horrible feeling that he could go through. Simon hopes that he is speaking on behalf of America when he says that he hopes he doesn’t go through. The judges get what they deserve because they put him through. Randy thought he was funny. Kara thinks he’s not a terrible singer, but thought he was entertaining. Paula thinks he is a true performer, but doesn’t know if this is the stage for him.

5. Allison Iraheta – She’s kind of fun . . . I don’t remember her. She’s singing “Alone” by Heart. Good song . . . but she betta bring it. FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! She picked the right song and blew it out of the park! Amazing! FINALLY! Week 2 has started!!!!! Randy thought she blew it out the box. Kara doesn’t think she knows how good she is. Paula thinks she can sing the telephone book. Simon thinks she is the best tonight by a MILE! Depends on the rest of the night, but as of right now, she goes through tonight.

6. Chris Allen – very Melinda Doolittle like in his modesty . . . I really like him. He’s singing “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson. Oh Lord. . . but not . . . WOW! I don’t know if it is the lack of any other good singers . . .but that was very, very good. I am VERY HAPPY with that. Kara thinks it was the wrong song (I disagree). Paula disagrees completely, and thinks he nailed it. Simon agrees with Paula and thinks that he showed some confidence and personality and was quite proud of him. Randy thinks that he did it without the guitar. I think he should go through, but if he doesn’t he is a definite for the wildcard.

7. Megan Corkery – Simon liked her in the original audition. She’s singing Put Your Records On by Corrine Bailey. I like this song. Megan has a very different voice, but I really like her. I thought she was very, very good. Paula thinks she picked the right song, and the camera is in love with her. Paula hearts her. Simon thought it started well, and then over sang, but hopes that America votes for her. Randy is a fan of hers, and is interested to see her in other rounds. Kara thinks she is a package artist. She’s got a good shot at going through.

8. Matt B. – He’s the welder. I HEART him. I hope he does well. He’s singing “If you could only see” by Tonic. I LOVE this song. I really liked him. I thought he was very, very good. I thought he was on pitch, and performed it well. Simon hated the song, and is frustrated. Randy thinks that it was boring. Kara echoes everyone and likes him but thinks that it was a poor song choice. Paula thinks he has a really good voice but the song didn’t celebrate who we all fell in love with. I really don’t agree with the judges. I think he was quite good. I think he won’t get through but could very well be back for the Wild Card Round.

9. Jessie – She’s singing Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes . . . She’s slightly nasal, but I like her voice. I think she was very sexy . . . I liked her. Randy thinks that she was just ok. Kara thinks this is her best look, and was slinky and sexy. She liked her. Paula finds her captivating and cool. Simon disagrees with Paula and thinks she’s forgettable. I kind of agree with Simon. I think there’s no way she goes through tonight. She’s got an outside shot at the Wild Card Round.

10. Kai Kalama – He’s singing “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted” . . . I have an early feeling that there is no way he goes through with this song. It is boring. His voice is nice, soulful, and in tune . . . but still boring. Kara likes him but thinks he was pitchy and the song was old fashioned. Paula thinks he performed well, and thinks he has the chops to do well in this business. Simon thinks it was old fashioned and corny. Randy agrees with Simon, and thought it was soooo safe. He is NOT going through tonight, and I think he only has a verrrrrrrrry outside shot at the Wild Card Round.

11. Mishavonna Henson – Drops of Jupiter by Train . . . risky song for her . . .let’s see how it goes . . . .so far very good, but very boring. She picked it up a bit. I like her. I think she did a GREAT job, but I don’t think she out does the other two great girls. Paula thinks it was the wrong song. Simon thinks it’s a great song, but . . . she’s acting like a 50 year old. Randy thinks she feels older. Kara thinks . . . well the same as the others. She’s gone. No Wild Card.

12. Adam Lambert – I think he is sooooooooooo fracking HOT! Therefore, I want him to do reallllllly well. He could be “The Hotness” this year. He’s singing “Satisfaction” by the Rolling Stones. Holy Lord! He could have bombed on that one, but he was AWESOME! WOW! Paula has no words, and thinks he is leaving some in the rearview mirror. Simon thought some was really bad and some was great. Randy LOVED it! Kara thought his range was CRAZY good! He is through. No doubt.

So we’re through another week of Idol. Who goes through? This is going to be a tough one. I think Adam is the only definite. I’ll be back with predictions.

Let's take it down to the Top 36!

It is the FINAL JUDGEMENT at the JUDGES MANSION!
THIS is American Idol
Each contestant goes from the holding room and down the path . . . did they impress the judges. Have they made it to the Top 36.
Anuk – Unanimously . . . .YES! He’s through to the Top 36 . . . not sure about Top 12
Von Smith – He’s THROUGH! I think he has a beautiful voice . . . if he can tone it down . . .
Break . . .
Cody Sheldon – They want him to sing one more time . . . he could me the new pretty boy . . . Simon wants a few minutes . . . Here comes Alex . . . Wonder twin powers activate, form of 2 singing gay boys!
I think Alex’s voice is better, but is it good enough to overcome the fact that Cody looks more like an Idol . . . Moment of truth = Cody goes home, and Alex gets through. They are very upset . . . awkward.
Adam Lambert – I heart him . . . sooooooo much cuteness . . . . Don’t play with me judges, he needs to go through . . . HOORAY! The Judges Got It Right!
Break!
And we’re back . . .
Taylor – 17 year s old – she forgot the words in the group session, but the last performance was awesome . . . She needs to go through . .. AND SHE DOES
Jasmine Murray – Through!
Arianna – Through!
Casey – Through!
Megan – Through!
Mishavonna – Through! I love her!
Stevie Wright – Through!
We must be heading for some bad stuff after the break . . . too much good!
No break . . . sorry!
Joanna – she forgot the words to EVERYTHING – she should not go through – I cannot believe they let her through. I’m stunned. You just know that there’s gonna be somebody else they eliminate (see Josiah from Season 7) who I’m gonna be pissed about.
T.K. – Is not through
Reggi Beasley – Not through . . . I hate that . . .
Kendall – She’s shakey, but through! I’m glad, I kind of like this one.
Jen – the married couple girl – he went home – judges aren’t certain, and want her to sing again – Kristin is outside getting ready to sing against her . . . I kind of think they will both go through . . . Kristin has made it through, and Jen did not. I am completely disagreeing with that decision. UGH!
Alexis Grace – She is NEVER gonna win this competition. . . but she’s through to the Top 36.
Scott McIntyre – I heart him hardcore . . . He’s Through! As he should be. I actually think that vocally he is not as good as others, but he’s AMAZING with the instrument.
Lil Rounds - I kind of heart her . . . I hope she gets through . . . Hooray! She’s through! I’m so glad . . . I really see her as a little Latoya London circa season 3. I think she could go very far.
Break!
Felicia – Not a unanimous decision – Did not make it
Ashley – Didn’t make it
Devon Baldwin – Didn’t make it through
Frankie Jordan – “the stay at home mom” – she’s makin the walk . . . I have a feeling that she’s going to make it through . . . uh oh, another girl is going . . . Jessie Lancaster – It’s time to FACE OFF. Frankie has a voice that’s different . . . I kind of like it . . . but so does Jessie . . . The judges hated both songs . . . only one can go through . . . and its Jessie. Simon has to be an ass and say that Frankie didn’t have a chance to win. Ugh on Simon.
A Break!
Shera – Does not go through
Derik – Does not go through
Allison – the namesake of one of our bloggers! J She’s nervous . . . She’s going through to the next round . . . as she should. It was risky doing Kelly Clarkson, but she did a very nice rendition. She could go through to the Top 12.
Here comes the story of Danny and Jamar . . . I love them. I hope they both get through… Here comes Danny . . He HAS to go through. Hells Yeah! Holla! They got it right! I couldn’t separate them . . . here comes Jamar. OMFG! I cannot believe they didn’t send him through. OMFG! He should have gone through. UGH!
Ricky – Through!
Matt – Thru
Juneau – Thru!
Jorge – Thru!
Stephen Fowler - If he gets through and Jamar goes home . . . UGH! He went through, and Jamar did not! That is complete BullShit! Sorry for the expletive.
Here comes that Norman BS – I know Rubbertoe disagrees . . . but I think he’s got a good voice, but a horrible persona. They let him through! Wow . . . again I will say, they let him through, and Jamar went home . . . hmmmm
Break!
Here comes I didn’t get her name . . . Ugh . . . cool . . . Jackie – unanimous voice puts her THROUGH! I think she’s a dark horse for the Top 12.
And, ugh, here comes Tatianna and all of her drama . . . I hate that her voice is good, ugh. And she’s annoying again. Not unanimous . . . But, I’ll bet she is . . . YES. She’s going through. I hate her, but she has a good voice.
Here comes another match up. . . Gay boy Nathaniel and Maybe Straight Boy Jackie . . . Oh Lord, we have an IDOL moment with Nathaniel . . . Best line of the night . . . Simon, “What ARE you wearing?”. Forgetting what he’s wearing, I just wanna smile when he sings. Just so nice . . . I think both of their voices are great, but Nathaniel’s is better. Let’s see what happens . . . Nathaniel is through. And, despite the outfit, he should be. Good voice.
Here comes the final 2 . . . the welder and the oil rigger . . .
Well, not yet.
Jennine – She’s THROUGH!
Kai – He’s THROUGH!
Anne Marie – She’s THROUGH!
Chris – I HEART him. He’s THROUGH!
Now, here’s the final 2! The oil rigger and the welder. I HATE that they are the final 2 . . .they should both go through… Matt, the welder, is first. I heart him. He has to sing . . . and, he was so soulful and good. Here comes the oil rigger, Michael, . . . his voice makes me smile . . . He is brilliant, and just makes me smile. What’s going to happen. If they get it right, Michael the oil rigger will go through. THEY BOTH GO THROUGH! HOORAY! That’s awesome! I’m sooooo excited for them!We have our Top 36! And for the most part, minus Jamar, I think they got it right.

And FINALLY! ITS TIME TO VOTE!!!! What did y'all think?
