my take on idol: the top 12 boys

1) david hernandez- a generic pretty boy voice. the ending of his song was horrendous. his voice cracked, and i can't get past that. his dad looks like bam margera's father.

2) chikezie + eze = cheesy

3) david cook- honestly, this is a weird and confusing rendition of so happy together. i think i liked it. but maybe i didn't. wait, what was i talking about again? oh yes, i liked his school of rock look. i think.

4) jason yeager- pretty boring but not bad. i'm not sure i would vote for him if i actually cared to vote... but wait... he threw in a tribute to his grandma, sure to win the votes of middle aged women all across america. btw he was so boring that i didn't catch his name until the recap at the end.

5) robbie carrico- another rocker this year. and he's soooo cool, he even toured with britney! but he's not a pop singer, "definitely a rocker." yeah sure JT, oops i mean RC. now to the actual song, he sounded constipated the entire time. every time he got to the word do(o), i imagined him trying to push out a shit.

6) david archuleta- he's cute and mousy. his voice cracked once but i wasn't so hung up on it. it was a fun performance.

7) danny noriega- he starts of by saying he wants to be hot. but will he make the grade? he's dressed nicely, but that's about as close as he gets. he definitely chose the wrong song. danny sounded like he was racing through the entire song, but we all know he could do better, right? we're all too afraid of his bitchslap to insult him too much.

8) luke menard- the first thing i noticed about him was his green hoodie, the same one they showed him wearing one the last day of hollywood week. it must be his lucky sweatshirt because i can't think of a single other reason he would find it acceptable to wear it on national television. and to make matters worse, he referenced his clothes and touched his hoodie during the song. NOTICE MY BEAUTIFUL SWEATSHIRT, AMERICA!! now to his actual singing- it was dreadfully subpar. for once, randy said a song was pitchy when it really was. simon says no one will remember him. luke disagrees. but i, for one, won't forget his hoodie.

9) colton berry- yet another pretty boy. but this one actually sings pretty too. cut to paula as the lone dancer by the judge's table, dong her thang. i think the song is safe but he did a good job. definitely enough to keep him in the competition.

10) garrett haley- they must have given the contestants a big book of boring songs to chose from this week. either that, or none of them know how to chose a damn song. you need to pull out all the stops every week of the competiton. the vocal was sweet but boring. luckily his creepy half-formed moustache distracted me enough to make the performance semi-interesting.

11) jason castro- finally! now this boy knows how to pick a song. he took his song and made it his own. and you always gain brownie points with the voters for playing guitar on the stage.

12) michael johns- he begins by professing his love for america, detailing the length of time he has lived here. because here in these united states, we don't like them foreigners. he was awesome, hands down. maybe i'm biased because i love that song and think he's cute, but it seems the judges agree with me.

as a side note, paula looks all disheveled and droopy eyed, but i guess that's nothing new.

my predictions on who's going home: luke and jason
