This is the first time I have watched Idol in a few years. Tuned in because of Steve Tyler and got immediately hooked. Steve, Jen and Randi make a fabulous team, IMO, and I am blown away by the amount of talent - especially among the 15 and 16 year olds - YEEKS!
Now that we are down to 50, and the stand-outs have become obvious, I thought I'd pop in to see what you all think - and nobody is here!
So I am in here waving my hand - come on in, the water's fine!
I missed one night of Idol, and don't know where my favorite went - the gorgeous blonde who went to Harvard and was a White House Intern - anybody know?
My favorite last night was the bearded guy with the bass who did a jazz version of Georgia HE'S 19??? Wow!
The guy in the white glasses who owns the Karaoke business is totally amazing - but what a sleaze, what he did to that young kid, kicking him out of the group. I felt so bad for the boy, going from group to group before somebody finally took pity on him. And it was so cruel of Randi letting the other four members step forward and making him wait. Come on, the kid is only 15. But the kid didn't break - he didn't complain or put anyone down - he is a total pro. Don't think he is ready yet for Idol, and when he does get cut, I hope they are gentle and supportive, because he has a lot of talent.
I'm afraid the guy with the white glasses is going to make it through to the live broadcasts, though. He is great, but I hate him.
Then there is the girl with the pixie face who is always breaking down. For some reason, I want her to succeed SO bad - she is just adorable, and has SO much personality and talent. She could win this, if she can pull herself together.
Then there is the good looking guy with the big nose and awesome smile, who played keyboard last night - HE IS ONLY 16??? Man! He has SO much talent.
John Wayne is delightful, but not enough fire for Idol. Same with the guy with the deep voice. They'll make the final 24 I think, but won't last. But both should go to Nashville for sure.
I love the 15 year old blonde girl with the curly hair. She has the total package.
So, who do YOU like?
