American Idol Recap: Top 20

Yawn. You may have noticed I skipped last week entirely. Bored. Blah. Using economies in the words of my post I am so uninspired. So I am just going to do another round of thumbs up or down, and compared to my gut reaction, some have actually changed.

But. OK. Well. I *do* have a *few* things to say.

1. I hate that little twerp Aaron. OK, maybe not hate because that would be rude, but if he turns into the "Middle-Aged Mom Fave," making him hang around for another month, and torture me till my ears and eyes bleed, I may just have to shoot myself in the face. No pressure, kid.
2. Vera Wang was high when she designed Michelle's dress. Or she was kidding. Or both.
3. Who gives a rat's ass about that one note of Siobhan's when she is painful to watch every other moment she is either singing or speaking?
4. Casey needs to put his hair back up in a pony tail. Oh hai, Andy Gibb!
5. The judges forgot to take their bi-polar medications.

My predictions for going home: Tim Urban, Aaron Kelly (please please please), Michelle Delamore, and either Lacey Brown or Haeley Vaughn.

And those are my thoughts, how about you?

I am bored with AI too. And that's saying a lot! I like Crystal and Lilly best for the girls and Andrew and Lee for the guys. Can you sense a theme? Acoustic guitars get me every time.

I do not like Siobhan or Aaron and something about Katelyn bugs. There are a lot of forgetables this year in my opinion.

Missed you last week, but WOW -totally agree. So. For you it's Aaron, for me it's Haeley. I tried to listen without watching her, but oh.my.GAH was she off pitch. I also don't like how Simon is pitting Crystal and Lilly against each other for the acoustic sound title (Sizzle, totally agree with you on the acoustic guitar thang). To me, Alex was the pleasant surprise of the guys, followed closely by Lee. Girls, I like Crystal and Lilly, with honorable mention to Katelyn.

Going home: Michelle and Haeley (or maybe Didi), and Aaron and Jermaine (sorry, but if Tim Urban survived last week's performance, he's not going home for another few weeks -- he's got some mad dialerz on his team)

I found Haeley painful--and I hate the way she spells her name. I thought the boys were so much worse than the girls. I'm not sure how some of these guys got through to this level.

Yeah, what happened to all of the talent they said was around this year? Everyone seemed to be have massive pitch problems except for Crystal. I didn't get to see all of the guys. Everybody lacked polish. It was like two nights of bad karaoke.

And Michelle? Her outfit was horrid, but she was so breathy that she sounded like a phone sex operator. Blech.

And I am not sure if we were listening to the same things that the judges heard - It's like their comments didn't make sense sometimes.

Is tonight the elimination?

I'm with you on all of them except Siobhan. I like a quirky girl. And she's got some pipes! Even before the one note. I think she's going all the way.

So many of the contestants are at the same level - good but not great, so it's hard to say who will leave next. I'll guess Andrew Garcia, Jermaine Sellers, Haeley Vaughn and Katie Stevens.

The ones who definitely won't go: Casey, Alex, Crystal, Lilly & Lee.

Oh, I do love American Idol!

See, I think I liked Haeley because she reminds me of a friend of mine. So, eliminated tonight: Haeley, John (I am sad cause I think he just had not found his groove), Jermaine (yay) and Michelle (YAY YAY YAY).

I just wanted to ask if I have told you lately that I love you.

Because if not, I am a total asshole slacker.

Because I do.

While I may not 100% agree with all the thumbs up and downs (okay, most of them I agree with)...I WHOLE HEARTEDLY and UNEQUIVOCABLY (those are big, important words, right??) agree with all the points you made.

All of them.
That little twerp makes me want to stab someone. Probably myself. (say that all the time!!! can't believe you do to!!! oy! See? Love. But not the Stalker-single-white-female kind of love.)

okay.

I think I'm done now.

Oh yeah, I'm on the Aimee train too...BUT I have to say, how you feel about Aaron, I Triple feel about Tim Urban!! UUUGGGHHH!!! DUUUDE the cheesy smile and the GAY hair. Oh yeah, and the shitty singing? Pleeze. lol
I think the people who went home deserved it, and I can't wait until Lacey, and Didi, and Tim go home next. Thank you.
