Idol Watch

American Idol. You know you love it.

The big winner of the night was David Archuleta!

He did a crystal clear version of 'The Long and Winding Road.' Yes, it was a little bit safe, but I think that he now has his confidence back from his lyrics amnesia of last week. Phew! The YW Pres. breathes a sigh of relief that Everyone's Favorite Mormon Boy was on top last night.{grins}


Love love, love Michael Johns, but he really did lousy last night. Ack!! The guy can sing Queen and Simple Minds, but The Beatles had him baffled. So sad. He is definitely a contender, though, so I look forward to next week. He is not in danger of elimination by a long shot.



Brooke White, our other LDS Hopeful; not-so-much last night. She looked a little lost up there without her guitar or piano, and she did a bit of the LDS shuffle, that looks very out of place on the Idol Stage. She definitely has amazing talent, but missed the mark just a smidgen last night. Sniff, sniff.




Our Resident Rocker, David Cook, definitely has a horse in this race. He has been doing amazingly well. He is crazy talented, but last night wasn't quite as magical, and Simon let him know that, 'I don't think that you were as good as you think that you were...' Classic Cowell. Love it.



Okay, this is our local boy Jason Castro, and he really is amazing. I don't know that he has the 'idol' factor, but let's just say, if I were 20-something, I would be swooning over his soft voice, gorgeous grin and amazing eyes! My mom would have something to say about the hair, but... come one, have you ever seen dreads look so amazing?



Lastly I would like to talk about Chikeze. Funny name; serious singer. I have been hot and cold on this guy. He does Luther Vandross very well. He croons like there is no tomorrow. For a few weeks he fell on his face- I actually was wishing that he would go, but I am back to liking this very talented, happy-go-lucky guy.


But... tell me, is it just me, or does he look like Isaac from the Love Boat?

I do not watch American Idol, but one of my DILs does a review like this every week on her blog. I love reading everyone's thoughts--I am intrigued. (I just don't watch the critique part of the show. I don't like watching people criticized--I do love when they're praised. My DIL told me when you get to this point they are ready for it ; )

Yes, he does look like Isaac from the Love Boat.

Go Jason! I really think he's the stallion in this competition... although I love the Aussie guy, but I think I'm favoring him because my husband is an Aussie and I'm a sucker for Aussie accents.
I don't like any of the girls... at all.

I love this American Idol season. It has been so fun to watch. I love Brooke and David. Your summary was pretty much my thoughts as well.

I'm not really into AI, but I think my fave would be David Cook. He's more my style. The dreadlock guy bores me to tears. David is good, but I don't see me buying records from him. The mormon chick's dancing made me laugh. :)

Would you believe I NEVER watch American Idol? :0

I ♥ Isaac from The Love Boat!

I'm enjoying Idol this season. I haven't watched it for a long time and started watching it because there wasn't much else on tv. I have been pleasently surprised by the talent. Loved your little write up.
