And now for something different: American Idol Top 10

I have bored you with how bored I am this season, so OK, here is another thumbs up / thumbs down review. Because I seriously can't be bothered to do anything else. Not to mention I need to be monitoring Twitter at all times for the next brawl.

Um. OK. Just a FEW comments.

1. "Ready For Love" is *another* one of my ALL-TIME favorite songs (and double props to India Arie, Denver native, woot!), proving Michael Lynche has been filching through my iTunes, thus making me an accessory to his success, thus providing me residuals on everything he earns. Amiright???

2. I still hate Aaron, but I gave him a halfway arrow tonight. Because he is actually growing up on stage, like we are watching our own baby American Idol version of McCaulay Culkin. But don't get me wrong. Still hate him.

3. Andrew has been failing for weeks. He also gets a half arrow due to his downward spiral from peaking too early. Which brings me back to what I have pretty much lived my entire life by: Never trust Paula Abdul.

4. What the fuck was Siobhan wearing?

5. What the fuck was Siobhan's hair supposed to be?

6. What the fuck was Siobhan singing?

7. Tim Urban was so painful I spontaneously got up and started cleaning the basement during his performance.

8. Crystal Bowersox is awesome and is gonna win this whole damn thing.







Bottom Three:
Tim Urban, Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens. Or Didi. But people might vote for Didi cause she is an emotional trainwreck. So I am sticking with Katie.

Tim goes home.


And you???


P.S. No really. I am serious. WHAT. WAS. SIOBHAN. WEARING???

I have no idea - but Siobhan, Tim and Didi were TERRIBLE tonight.

Let me tell you, Siobhan's outfits are KILLING me. Not only is she a hometown girl (I had to dress my son in BLUE today to show support for her at school - her sisters attend so how can you NOT??) but I've seen her perform prior to AI and she is amazing. That being said, I really think she is less a pop star and more a broadway acting-type. She just can't let go of who she is when she has to be "herself" on stage because she is a theater geek. Sigh.

First, I'm glad you and your up/down arrows are back.

Second, you are the master of Twitter brawl moderation. I heart you for sticking up for Heather.

Last, I'm glad you paid attention tonight because other than Crystal I think I was scrubbing my floors.

Bottom three: Tim, Didi and Katie
Going home: Didi (Tim's still the VFTW pick, and my 7-year old daughter prints out his photo and draws hearts around it as she texts madly for him)

I think the top two will be Crystal and Lee. They will have an acoustic face off! I love them both so I'm split. Andrew did really good tonight. Finally. The rest pretty much bored me so I drank too much wine.

Siobhan is just odd. I have trouble warming to her.

I'm new to AI and it's 'cuz I'm a sucker. Siobhan is the niece of my cousin's husband's close friend. Got all that? Anyway, he's been pushing for her on FB so I've TiVoed this for 2 weeks. Didn't know you had to call within 2 hours after the show so missed my opportunity to vote last week. Did watch in behind-real-time last night so was able to cast my I can't believe I'm doing this vote for Siobhan. Oh my, what a disaster she was.

I have to admit, I absolutely love Crystal. I think she may be one of the most talented female on there since Kelly Clarkson. Awesome voice.

The rest of the performances I could have lived without. None of them really hit home, except Crystal.

1. Tim and Didi have no business being in the top 10.

2. Katie drives me nuts. She's got a voice but has no clue what to do with it.

3. I take back my early prediction about Casey. Now I'm thinking he'll come in 4th.

4. Crystal and Big Mike are the clear favorites now, BUT.

5. Lee's suddenly a contender!

6. Everyone I know, including myself, wants Crystal to win.

Here is my prediction on the order right now:

1. Crystal
2. Mike
3. Casey
4. Lee
5. Siobhan
6. Aaron
7. Andrew
8. Tim
9. Katie
10. Didi (I am rethinking that Tim will go tonight. The little girls may have gone crazy for him voting).

very interesting how everyone seems to hate didi and like mike. I am the opposite. I don't think Didi sucks at all! Mike doesn't either, but he BUGS! He's just got something about him...really arrogant. Here's my order-not necessarily the order they will place, just who I like best to least;
1-Lee
2-Crystal
3-casey
4- Didi (but now she is gone)
5-Aaron
6-Andrew
7-Mike
8-Siobhan (something about her annoys me...her weird slow speech? the outfits? The screaming?)
8-Tim
9-Katie
