Singing And Dancing Along . . . .
First up “American Idol.” Like “Dancing,” this is the first season of AI I have actually been watching every episode of. Amazing I know, but again nothing else has been on! With that said, I have to admit country is not my music of choice. Okay I really don’t like it and I really don’t know it. Anyways, here are my quick thoughts!
Phil Stacey – I was sure Phil would be the next one to go, but shockingly I thought he was really good this week. Even Simon had good things to say about him. Will this save him? It might!
Jordan Sparks – She bored me to tears tonight. She was great, but boring. The judges all loved her though. Can I also say this entire season the background vocals tend to overpower the singer? How can you judge someone when you hear more of the background chorus than them?
Sanjaya Malakar – Will this be the performance that sends him home? One of my constant complaints about Sanjaya is he seems to talk more than sing. I have to admit, it was one of his better performances, though the judges didn’t like it this week. Unfortunately Simon’s nasty comments may insure Sanjaya gets the votes! Let’s be honest, if Sanjaya does go home, how many of us will keep watching?
Lahkisha Jones – Again an okay performance, but just boring. The judges seemed to hate it though. I didn’t think it was terrible though.
Chris Richardson – Kinda like Phil, he was pretty good this time around! A bit nasally, but still better than he’s been. The judges didn’t seem to like it. Oh well!
Melinda Doolittle – Melinda is always good and she didn’t disappoint this week either. She’s going to be in the final two.
Blake Lewis – I think Blake might be Melinda’s competition in the final two. However this week I just wasn’t impressed by him at all. The judges however really liked him tonight.
Over to “Dancing With The Stars.” First, must we endure an hour of singing, comedy and recaps in order to get the results? I am glad Clyde went home. If Heather went home over him I might have had a conniption! I can’t even believe Billy wasn’t down there with Clyde, and from his reaction neither could he!
I have to agree with you on your AI comments. I feel really horrible for the dancer who has to dance with Billy. I think he is really trying but my god he isn’t any good. I love watching (I can’t remember his name) the olympic speedskater and his partner! They are awesome!!!
