Ok Ryan. Enough with the hype. Let’s get too it.
I am going to leave this part for the No’s. See list below for the Yes’s.
The first boy with the yellow cap, his eyes were looking crazy when he was singing. I am amazed he even thought he had a chance. How can they have cut some of the other people before him?
I liked Buck Smith. I was surprised he didn’t make it.
Josiah Leming - Waaaahhh! I am so very, very happy that he was booted off. I am glad he has egg on his face in front of the family he ditched and shows people that you can’t be too cocky. That’s why he is living in a car. He has talent, don’t get me wrong. But a poor attitude can destroy it.
Kyle Ensley - Whew! That was close! I almost thought they passed him through. He would have been tough to get rid of (aka Sanjaya). Justice has been served. The first time I totally disagree with Simon. This is ultimately a singing competition and folks aren’t nice. He is a sweet kid and they would have chewed him up and spit him out (remember the red-headed kid and death threats?). He will do just fine.
Cardin McKinney - I figured out why I like her. She reminds me of Kate from Lost. She is not that great of a singer. She has the look though. It may have been a mistake, but I am okay. Last year I was ticked with the final 2 choices and the girl that got through. I hope they don’t regret it.
I was pretty teary this episode. This show is tough.
Boys
1. David Cook – I liked him ok. I want to see more from him.
2. David Archuleta – I think he is ok. Not sure why the judges love himself so much. He has GOT to control his breathing.
3. Danny Noriega – He is so very, very talented. I just hope his facial expressions and his theatrics don’t get in the way of really hearing his voice. I am glad he made it.
4. Jason Castro – No idea about him
5. Luke Menard – No idea about him
6. Michael Johns – I like him. Maybe it’s the accent. I’m a sucker for it. And square teeth. Don’t ask.
7. Robbie Carrico – I liked him…enough.
8. Garrett Haley – No idea.
9. Chikezie Eze – I loved him. Cute teddy bear.
10. Jason Yeager – he was ok. I just remember her from his hair color.
11. David Hernandez – He was a mistake. Not terrible but he shouldn’t have made it. He will be off by week 2.
12. Colton Berry – I am so happy he made it over Kyle. I don’t remember his performance, but best of luck.
Girls
1. Carly Smithson – Love her!!! I am so rooting for her! All the way! And she’s from San Diego. Cool.
2. Amanda Overmeyer – I liked her. She seemed pretty reserved but I will assume that she was happy.
3. Kristy Lee Cook – She was ok. I am not sure I will remember her after a few weeks.
4. Brooke White – I like her personality. I think she is talented and makes a good addition to this season.
5. Alexandra Lexington – No idea about her.
6. Ramiele Malubay – I think she was ok. I just remember her dad.
7. Syesha Mercado – She was way too good not to make it through. Talented and really cute.
8. Kady Malow – No idea about her
9. Amy Davis – No idea.
10. Alaina Whitaker – No idea.
11. Asia’d Epperson – Hell to pay if she didn’t make it through.
12. Joann Borella – I am not a fan. She is a pretty girl and okay in some of her songs. But I don’t like the tone. But with those 2 in the end, I think she deserved to go through.
I am looking forward to the performances. I think they got a great group this year. Finally. Brining it back to the glory days of AI! C-ya next week!
