wow, so, I have…….

…

not yet watched it, but read every drop here.

so, they passed someone that cant sing and gave the special ticket? thats just dumb.

I cant even pronounce these names anymore.. what happen to “john, joan, bill, etc” lol.

about the guy with the falsetto, i used to be able to do it no problem but in the last 2 years, i cant do it anymore, its just gone. im sad about that.

and it sounds like a sappy sad story still gets you through, lol.

i will try and watch it tomorrow, but too tired today.. i put this little video together, recorded parts from my ipad, edited it, added some music and stuff, here ya go,, so, this is why i was busy.

click on the pic to play the video, have your volume on.

ok. soooo, i just watched it and…

…

first off, may i just say that i love Carrie as a judge! finally, three honest and classy judges, no more freaky judges, rolling around on the floor, clothes falling off, etc.. lol

also, i jot my hand written notes down, as i watch, before the judges give their opinion so that i am not “skewed” in my opinion.

here we goooo….

- Ms Landry- good job, super confident.

- victor- he modulated (for those that dont know, its going up a key or so) like three times, wow, but was just ok.

- Isaih- ok voice, not great, hard to make out the words.

- Ms. Grayson - good yet odd for me, but oddly good.

- brajawn - he had that odd dialect that all the kids sing with, for years now, but a nice voice. if he would just not sing like “olive oil” would sing on popeye, haha. but i liked his attitude.

- Kase- 14 years old, yes he can grow, but i liked it a lot. he should have gone through.

- Ms. Mikaela - loved it, both with and without her dad but with her dad was so amazing… ok, soooo, i cried. and im not a cryer. lol.

- bryson- too twangy for me… and… he is copying the style of a man from Va, (not too far from me).. he sounds just like the man that became very well known for a political song he sang. not sure if you heard this song.. he is hard to look at but he rose to fame very fast for this song.. go back and play bryson’s song and tell me he didnt copy his styel to the T.

- carson- sorry, too “woke” for me yet when he sang, it was pretty good. he was so awkward with himself that he didnt know what to do with his arms or hands. just odd.

- myke- his dad looked like an MS13 gang member! yipes! however, the boy, myke, seems grounded. i liked it, didnt love it but liked it. his style and singing reminds me of “Prince”

- josh- you didnt like his voice as much, but loved the piano. if the mic had echo, im sure you would have felt it better. i thought it was fantastic! you have to listen past the dullness of the mic as it needed a tad of reverb or echo. they worked him hard and barely passed him which is shocking to me. i liked his “lounge” style a lot. but whatever.

- sophie- trashy girl, potty mouth, yucko.

- filo- just ok but had NO idea he was at the new years show and getting the ticket.. my hubby and i watched some of it that night but i dont recall that. maybe they didnt play that part until just now. he did NOT deserve the ticket at all. they said he will be top 20 or 10? they are insane.

my take on tonights show - march 23, 2025- …

…

- penny- imo, she purposely made dumb faces to copy that guy that used to do that before, who knows. but for ME its a no on the faces and a no on the voice but sadly, they put her through.
- jamier- another sob story, but so sweet and humble and yup, he had a great voice.
- sophia- on piano. sang “before he cheats” by c/u. nice version, appeared short of breath, timid, nervous, but sweet girl. i used to sing that song when i was more into going out to karaoke and everyone seemed to like it a lot. i sang it with the “anger” that the judges said they wanted from this girl. so, i recorded my version and sent it to my hubby’s mom but i forgot just how harsh the song is and how religious she is…. she loved the singing but hated the words. I kicked myself going “why would you ever play that song for her, you know better” lol. anyway, they get her out in the “field” to beat up a truck with a baseball bat while she sings it again, and puts her though, but they all took turns bashing the truck and wow, it was pretty violent really and not good timing for Tesla haters.. whats the chance of that? wow. if you know what im talking about, sigh.

- mattie- LOVED it. and had a beautiful vibrato too.

on a side note, Idol is to tamed down a lot lately, compared to many years of painful and embarrassing judges and horrible singers getting through. so, this is really refreshing. its “back to normal” again.

- john- super confident. very good but the guitar was a bit out of key. awkward performance but i loved it.
- nina- i wanted to like her song but i didnt love it, but im ok with them putting her though.
- desmond- on piano. he was very good.
- jamal- very nice and grounded guy, but too churchy and over the top for me, but he was good.
- caroline - NOPE!
- drew- sang with real passion. voice is good but not amazing, just good.
- sam- paralyzed from the waste down from a car acc. which should NOT matter, but you know…. sang well, just awkward all around but was good.
- mae mae- i thought it was a boy but its a girl. she would never ever survive hollywood week, etc.. she was ok but im glad they didnt put her through as my worry is that she may kill herself if put in that situation so they did the right thing.
- lola- nice girl. wilson phillips daughter - they all sang together (not fair to the other contestants) but it was great harmony. i didnt like her voice much and it was even worse when they asked her to sing alone, but you know the drill. under pressure by famous singers, you know where this goes, lol. on a side note, many mornings, for some reason, for years now, i have woken up with that song in my head that they sang. so, it was kind of ironic, lol
- freddie- another sob story, dad was murdered. the judges put him through over emotions but his singing was not good at all. sorry.

next week is two nights. sun is the last auditions and then monday is hollywood week. get your pen ready to jot a lot of notes down.
