American Idol, according to Malena

Now that I have a DVR, I've actually started watching shows other than The Office, like American Idol! While this season of AI leaves a lot to be desired, I still have a few comments and observations. Feel free to chime in and give your two cents :)

(Comments are based on tonight's episode as well as the season as a whole)

Crystal - The dreads are getting old. I do like her, and I like that she's consistent, but I can't look at her anymore.

Andrew - By far my favorite. I may or may not have actually fallen in love with him when he first auditioned. I know he's known as a one-hit-wonder, and I believe it's true, too, but I still love him. He completely screwed up his chances tonight, though. Adam Lambert was spot on when he told him his pre-performance was boring and I'm sad he didn't take his advice to pump the song up. He'll be gone tomorrow, for sure.

Tim - UGH!!! Why is he still there?! I KNEW he couldn't sing since day one, but week after week they keep him on. I can't stand him. His voice is OK during a chord, but once it tapers off, he sounds like a frog that got stuck in a garbage disposal. Tonight was just added to the fact that I very much dislike him. It was horrible! I don't care what anyone say. Boooooooo!!! *Throws a virtual tomato*

Lee - He's a sexy man. Not gonna lie. He's good sometimes, but other times he misses the UMPH. Tonight was stellar and very intense. I'm not sure he's #1 material, but I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it far! Pardon me while I go stare at him a little longer...

Aaron - I don't like him. But, I was pleasantly surprised tonight! I didn't look at my TV once because every time I see his face I cringe--there's just something about it! Not looking at the TV helped me like tonight's performance. Despite this, I think he's out soon. Or, I hope so :)

Siobhan - Meh. Forgetable. I haven't paid too much attention to her this season. She was pretty good tonight, but she fluffs up songs WAY too much. Not my taste, what can I say.

Michael - Great performance tonight. I've never heard that song before, but coming from him, it was like a brand new song that just came out. The ONLY thing I don't like about him is that he wasn't there for his baby's birth. I know that's trivial, but I've never quite gotten over it. He could very well make it to the top two :)

Katie - Isn't she like 16? I kind of like her, I guess, but she'd be better off leaving and getting professional lessons and coming back in a few years. I don't see much of anything special about her. Meh.

Casey - He definitely seemed off tonight. I didn't see the UMPH he usually gives, and that was very disappointing! He's not my favorite, but I also don't hate him. Possibly in the top...hm...5.

P.S. Woke up at 6:40 today, got to work 3 minutes early and brought my lunch again :)

I can't get into AI this season. I quit watching weeks ago and feel so liberated to have my Tuesdays and Wednesdays free. Please blog in a few weeks so I will know who wins.

I thought AI was pretty good. Since two people go home this week, I really want Tim and Andrew (sorry!) to go. Andrew just has lost his edge and I don't believe he's good enough to still be there.

P.S. I'm going to buy you a big poster of Lee to put in your room so you can stare at him! Hahahaha!

This year is boring me, too. Simon is too nice. Ellen isn't funny enough. I'm super critical when anyone sings, so it's blah to me. And I was soooo bugged seeing Adam Lambert last night. The guy/girl gives me the willys. Don't even start me on that one.

Crystal is my favorite. She will win. Katie needs to go. Sorry. Tim I don't normally like, but I LOOVED his vocals last night on Cant help falling in love. they were spot on. Bye to Andrew. the Kelly kid should never have made it. BLAH!
