American Idol Top 12
I haven't posted an update here in like forever and this isn't really an update (maybe I'll post a real update sometime) but I had a request for my opinions on American Idol Season7 so I decided I would oblige and post them here.
I don't have the time to do my full on reviews anymore but I post a rundown of my thoughts on each performance every week at message boards anyway so I figured I could post here too.
Without further adieu (is that how it's spelt?) this is for you

Top 12 - Beatles Week
Overall except for a few horrific moments I quite liked the show. I won't lie I totally want Kady in the Top 12 but I suppose I'll live without her, at least I won't have to suffer through Simon berating her every week.
Syesha - I just don't like her, I think she's totally overrated and I want her to go home. It was awful, but it wasn't good. She's particularly awful when she's doing her loud screaming thing, but she's still bad when she tones it down and tries to do a softer song. I really don't understand why she has fans or why she was voted into the finals. Plus she's arrogant to boot and I can't stand her personality.
Chikeze - Loved it, I totally didn't expect something like that from him but it was great. Very enjoyable. I'm starting to remember why I originally loved him. After his audition I was rooting for him and in the semis he kind of lost me but last night I thought he rocked it. Very impressed.
Ramiele - Boring, she almost put me to sleep. I think she's a decent enough singer but she's another person whose appeal I don't understand. This is a singing competition, almost everyone can sing so the fact that she can sing doesn't impress me. I want her to be a "shocking" boot, and soon.
Jason - I liked it, but if he's going to do the same thing every week I'm about to be super bored by this guy. Plus I can't stand his "massive lack of personality" to use a Simonism or if you want me to put my own spin on it, his massively stupid personality. I can't say I was the least bit shocked when I found out he's a pot head. Usually I like his type of style too but he's just not very good at it imo. There's tons of guys out there who are better singers than him and do the acoustic vibe thing way better. I'm afraid he's going to go way further than he deserves too, based on things like the extreme overhype he got for doing "Hallelujah" which again has been done way better numerous times.
Carly - Wow. I usually talk through the show but my friend and I went completely silent for her performance. It was just amazing, this girl is so killer. In the beginning I felt like she had too much going against her but now I feel like she could win if she keeps knocking it out of the park. I know I don't hide my Idol favourites very well but in case you don't know, she's my favourite.
David C - I love this guy too. I enjoyed it very much and it's nice that he's a rocker but he's also proven that he does have a strong voice and can sing without the guitar and all that. He's like the anti-Jason to me. He pulls off his style well and can do things differently and make that work too.
Brooke - Again, wow. Brooke does the kind of musical style that I love most and she's great at it. I love having someone like her on AI for once.
[Sidenote: Carly, David C and Brooke would be the best Top 3 ever.]
David H - I agree that it was a bit corny and cheesy but I still love his voice and I also think he's super hot. I wish he would do a strip tease on AI but I'm assuming since they still market AI as a family show that won't happen anytime soon.
[Sidenote: how much do you love all the scandals AI has this year?]
Amanda - Go home. Again I barely understood a word she was saying. Why she gets judge love I will never understand. She totally blows. Not the worst tonight but close enough.
Michael - I enjoyed the song choice, and I do like his voice. He is one of the people I feel has yet to connect with the perfect song choice though but I do look forward to hearing him try every week. I thought it was a really solid performance and it was very nice to see him do it straight, just sing and not jump around. I do wish though that singing "Across the Universe" required him to turn around and show off his ass a little.
KKKristy - I hate her. Why she made the Top 12 over Kady I will never, ever understand. She was horrific. Worst performance all season, except for anything Amanda has done. I want her gone asap.
David A - I quite enjoyed and agreed with Simon's comment early on in the show about this being a talent competition versus a popularity contest. David A is popular but miles and miles away from being the best talent wise. It was horrible to listen to and painful to watch. He deserves bottom 3, he won't get it, but deserves it. If this is how he's going to continue on he doesn't deserve to get anywhere near the Top 2. Anyone else would have been (and have been in the past) ripped a new one for forgetting that many words at this stage in the competition. It was all kinds of awful, topped only by the lovely (and by that I mean horrendous skank) Kristy Lee Cook.
