AMERICAN IDOL

[gail]

omg, wow, so…..

..

first off, i thought tuesday was too busy to post?? well…. wed (today) was even insane, but i still watched the show just now, and it was a great way to wind down.

My hubby had the day off, unexpectedly, for a (muslim) holiday that we do NOT celebrate.. but fairfax county (va) is a hugely lib county and they dont like our country much now days, anyway, it was something about ramadon? lol. so, we took advantage of this day off for him and we had to drive all the way across this large county to the courthouse, to renew our concealed weapon permits, then get him to dmv to get his drivers lic updated with our new address and all, (i already did mine) but you have to go in person… then he got his new riding lawn mower delivered, so he cut the grass with that. he was thrilled, as the push mower, although self-propelled, was not easy. then i planted grass seed where needed, then put good soil on that, then fertilizer, omg, we could barely move after all that.

so, about the show…

I never got the “jelly roll” craze, but i have to say, after watching him so engaging with everyone, that was pretty cool. i dont think he will live very long at his size and all, using a cane so young.. but on with the show…

- odell- i love “funk” music witch i think originated from DC (just minutes away from me).. my hubby and i both love that style. but he had too much forced vibrato and runs.

- elleigh- i cant get past those huge hairy eyebrows, like you cant get past the boy that sings with the faces, lol. and its a NO from me, on her singing.

- mackenzie- you liked this best but the song was just OK for me, yet it was a good stage performance.

- jen- i like her soft voice a lot but the louder “gruffness” is not good. is “gruffness” a word? well, if not.. then i just made it so. lol

- emmy- she cries all the time, she is a hot mess. sang another poor me song.. flat and off key some and was just average.

- ajii- too fast and forced vibrato. strange song that got annoying.

- kennedy- great song in general, but it was way too rushed, hard to catch your breath at that rate, but she did great, i loved it.

- jack- (funny face guy).. sadly, “jelly” encouraged him to not listen to anyone and to keep making the dumb faces, but having said that… omg, i loved it! i liked his voice before too, but i must say, the frothy foam from his spit, all around in his mouth, was very off-putting.

- roman- you liked it.. i hated the runs but overall it was good.

- kb- you said “painful” and i have to agree yet it was a very entertaining stage performance.

- mia- very good, but more power would have made it great! nicely done.

- triston- you know i love this kid.. and yes, he is way young and sounds young but. when he grows into his voice, he may be the next Charlie Pride! (do you remember him?)

the band was just amazing tonight, i mean spot on with them jumping to the last note or whatever, they were great.
