omg, i am thrilled to see you…..

…

here and that you watched it too. funny thing is that you and i watched it about the same time, nearly a week later, since you said it played last sunday right? i forgot about it and then i saw it on the dvr tonight and really enjoyed it.

ok, so, here goes.. and yes, i recall that you (and i) wait til later to give more detailed thoughts..

yes, i loved the first singer. he needs to tone down the fake vibrato a bit though, but he has the look, etc.

the 2nd boy, who is an American Indian, its a NO from me (for the voice) but he got through.

then a “blur” of people get put through, they kind of fast forwarded that part.

The lady, named Kennedy, the mortician, said shes 23? no way.. looked about 50, she even said it as if no one would believe her.. anyway, she goes through.

next.. Meggie - Meh, but goes through

the Pakistani guy.. he was good, sounds like a man from Va, who got shot to fame recently, Oliver Anthony ( google and youtube him), sounds much like that. not sure if he was copying him? very similar and unusual style.

the crying football player.. has a sappy girly voice but goes through.

jack, from dallas- you hated him.. i hated the faces, but liked his voice. its like a dirty house that you look at to buy, you look past the dirt and see its possible future.. if they tone that down, he may be ok. i was actually surprised they said no and pleased when the cast voted him in. so, thats interesting about you and me, and our thoughts.

ok, now, let’s talk about the adopted lady.. i usually fast forward all that stuff, but omg, it was special in so many levels. i even cried, yes,, i did.. lol. she said she is 25 but looked 40. not sure whats going on with people looking older in some cases so far this year? the mic (quality) was horrible but she did great. too sappy though.

it was cool how they dubbed her mom’s voice and video over her walking out at the end of the show. it reminds me of my mom’s album and other songs still on tape (now on cd and on line to hear),, i will listen and feel like im there with her to this day. so, that part really hit home when she sang her mom’s song on the piano. my mom did a couple of her own songs (written by her) and i still play them time to time on the piano and sing them..

when i was a kid, i would play it on the piano and sing them to her and she loved it. anyway, there ya go.

its great to hear from you again. :-)

ok, i just watched the 2nd show…

….

i got goosies (goose bumps) with first singer, hailey.

dawson, raw sound and pretty good but yes, what i thought was his wife, but is his mom, looks just like katie, lol

i got a kick out of the peanut jazzy guy.

the barber was pretty good

Ms. Emmy (Lorreta Lynns grand daughter) was awful and depressing with her mousy sad song about not wanting to eat. yup, thats just the idol confused American kids need right now, lol .. i was really hoping i would like her.

the guy that sang shout, i liked him but i assume he didnt get through.

abby- was good but whats up with the odd eyebrows, lol. and her piano man got put through. i didnt like him but do like his attitude, but its not called “American attitude” lol

abby/abi? (sp?) another sad sappy song but was ok

Oh my Gosh, what the hell was “ziggy”?? gay, faking gay, clown? either way, he is very mentally unstable. they put him through for the freak factor. sad to see that. kids now days, little kids, will look up to all these crazies they put through.

(ms) KB- ok, so you want to push a very mentally unstable young lady who threatens suicide one minute and is fake ok the next? yup, they did, they pushed her through, another bad message to little kids that look up to these so-called idols.

i didnt like this show, but at least a couple of good singers got put through.
