My Take on American Idol

Alright, I'll admit to being an American Idol fan, and I feel it is time for me to weigh in with my opinion of this year. I like more contestants this year than I have in years past, and I actually don't know who I want to win yet. I think Chikezie got voted off too soon -- Kristy Lee Cook and Ramiele should have gone before him. Other than that, I think those voted off have been the ones who should have gone. I was hoping it would be Ramiele last night, which it was. I like her voice, I just haven't ever really liked anything she sang. And what on earth was she wearing last night?!! That was the worst outfit. I agreed with Simon about the fashion issue with Carly Smithson. I was really happy to see her wear something with sleeves last night. Maybe the tattoo on her arm shouldn't affect whether I like her, but honestly I can't help looking at it and wondering what kind of a picture it is when she wears sleeveless tops every performance. I think I would most likely want to listen to albums by Jason Castro and Brooke White. I like their musical style. I don't know why Jason has been in the bottom three so much when I actually like the way he sings. I knew Syesha was going to do the Whitney Houston song when they said it was Dolly week, and I knew they would chew her up for it. You would think from past years the contestants would learn not to sing a Whitney or Celine Dion song. The judges will never say the contestants measure up to them. I really like David Archuletta's voice, too. And I like David Cook, but I don't really like watching him. I don't know, last night he admitted to being a slob and that's kind of what he looks like to me. It's always interesting to see what he's going to do with his songs, but I don't know if I would actually buy an album of his. So I guess Jason Castro, Brooke White, and David Archuletta are my favorites. I do wonder if I cheer for Brooke and David A. because they are LDS. I don't know, but I do like their singing, too. So there you have it, my waste of time on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. =)
