30 minutes just passed, and I hate to admit it, but David Cook was AMAZING. But anyway, here are my thoughts. (Because I will forget what happened at the start by the end. Really.)
David Hernandez
I still cannot get a grasp of what kind of style he goes for. Sure, he is a funny person, and he can sing, but there is nothing striking about him.
Chekezie
I was multi-tasking so oops, didn't really listen to him. Sorry dude.
(Red room: I knew I would say this: COLTON IS CUTE! That Ellen D comment is hilarious, and omg, he is so right. O__O You little theatre geek, I am not supposed to like you! I am supposed to mourn for Kyle!)
David Cook
WOW. Just WOW. Love the song, love his rendition. Love his adorable gayspecs boyfriend in the audience. Alright, David C, you can stay longer. Fans out there, vote for him.
Jason Yeager
It started really well, I was even wowing. And he get points coz I love Moon River. But then it got boring. Randy gave good advice on it, Jason really did lose concentration in the middle. (His son is adorable though.)
Robbie
Another sorry, I was somehow distracted too. And I only looked back during Simon's authenticity comment lol.
Baby David
Shucks Ryan! I wanna adopt him! D: I was literally alternating between giggling and awwing out loud while he was talking. The "what a feeling", the whole "thank you everyone", "i'm only 17!" etc killed me. I guess it's really his voice that made me like him so much. But I think the judges are more biased than me haha. I thought his song choice was meh, and it wasn't THAT great, but oh well.
Danny Noriega
Color? Definitely sparkly pink and purple with silver stars. He's beyond human. Another one that I aww-ed out loud. The performance wasn't amazing (I prefer JPL's spazz-rendition), but watching him do it is more than enough. He's SUCH a performer! Or maybe I am just weak towards those big eyes, that pouty lips and those pretty legs. Oh lookie how he comb his hair!
Luke
Are all carpet cleaners that hawt? O.o I need to go buy a carpet. I agree with Simon, forgettable performance.
Colton
Why didn't they show him during auditions? O________O Look at that sunglasses! *faintz* He may be just as gay as Danny. And yeah, it doesn't help that he reminds me of Ryan Evans from HSM. He even likes theatre. -__- Performance-wise, I thought he did well. Definitely not as bad as Simon said. Okay, just give me another good performance and I may be a convert. (Kyle. D':)
Simon made a good point though. The show is about finding a recording artist, so you've got to be current and sing enough to let people want to buy your album. That is why Taylor failed I guess. :/ I love him, and he was awesome on the show, but his album didn't bring out his awesomeness.
Garrett
Yeah, you said it right, Ryan. Unfair coverage!
His performance was fine. Not too amazing, not too bland (it's so not as bad as Simon said). I just like Garrett for some reason. I can't grasp it too myself. Is it his curls? Or his small little face? He's so elven. <3 Another question, does he happen to be gay too? Vibes yo. I kinda wanna slash Colton and Garrett. XD
Points for Rymon moment! \o/
Jason Castro
OT: I love seeing all the contestants in the bg while they were filming him. Josiah bb! Baby David! :D
I love Jason's hair lol. He's a really gorgeous man. Look at the photoshoot! Interesting hippie style of singing. I like that he used his guitar. I agree with Simon, it would have been better without the band. (Though, Simon, which David are you referring to? Lol.)
Michael Johns
Hair Hair. :D You need a hairclip. Though, what's up with the scarf?? It' choking you!
He's good! I like him! I don't care about whatever song-stealing shit! So much pimping from the judges lol.
Another cute friend in the audience! Eeeee! Too bad it wasn't the one that was there at his audition. That one was cute!
*dies* Rymon moment at the end again! Simon looked so happy! I'm happy too!
Okay, Top 12 Guys all accounted for. :D I really like this liveblogging thing, so I think I will try to keep it up, at least for the boys.
Also, my top 3 performances for the night:
1) David Cook
2) Colton
3) Michael/Baby David (I was awwing too hard at David so I gotta rewatch again.)
I know, I'm so self-contradictory. But voting-wise, once I figure it out, it would still be for Baby David and Danny.
