Okay, so fine, after all the hype last year I decided to give American Idol a chance and watch it from the very start of the season. We are now through the first performance of the top 24 and I do have my favorites, so I thought I would blog and see what everyone else thinks.
Boys: Blake Lewis is definitely my favorite, he's got so much talent and I think he would bring a really different sound if he won...I also really like Chris Sligh (voice kinda reminds me of Eddie Veder)...Paul Kim was a favorite in the beginning, but this week's performance didn't do much for me...I LOVED Rudy's performance, he's in top 5 for me, along with Jared and Brandon probably...AJ has a great voice, as does Sanjaya (and he just makes me smile!), but neither really did it for me this week either...Phil and Nick did pretty well...I think my bottom 2 from this week are Sundance and Chris Richardson.
Girls: Sabrina, Stephanie and Jordin were terrific this week...Leslie and Amy are not my favories...I like Antonella, but her song choice was not good...Nicole and Haley didn't do it for me this week....Melinda has an amazing voice, but she sounds like so many others, nothing 'special'...Alaina was a fave in beginning, and I really want her to do well, but I didn't like her performance this week much at all...I think Gina could really rock it, and I'd like to hear her try, I really like her though and her voice was beautiful with the song she chose this week...Lakisha is like Melinda to me, great voice no doubt, but not really sure they are what I'm looking for in an Idol personally. I'm surprised how the judges react to her, I mean, her voice is probably the best of the 24, but she doesn't have everything else in my opinion?!? My bottom 3 girls would probably be Nicole, Leslie and Amy...and right now Antonella is not far behind.
I have to say, I definitely like the more 'exciting' songs, ballads just don't do it for me. They can all sing, there's no doubt about that once they get this far, so I want to see their range, their performance ability...I want to see if they can 'bring it'.
To recap...my top boys are Blake and Chris Sligh and my top girls are...hmmm, this is tough...I guess I have to go Sabrina, Stephanie, Jordin, and Gina.
Let me know what you think!

OK- I had to look at the AI website to remember names here...
My favorite guys are Blake Lewis & Chris Richardson with Nicholas Pedroa & Phil Sacy as runners up. I don't like Sanjaya or Sundance at ALL!
As far as the girls (this is hard, not much to choose from here!) I like Leslie Kim and a tie between Gina Glockson and Jordin Sparks. Runners up for the girls are Sabrina Sloan and Haley Scarnato for me. I don't like Antonella or Melinda. SO there you have it! We'll see who gets the boot tonight! :-D
I'm glad you've been watching this year! I like Blake and haven't made a decision on the girls yet.
Blake was my favorite perfomer, Chris pretty good (he makes me laugh) and Phil are my top three. Phil started off shaky, but ended it nice.
The ladies did much better than the guys, but I don't have a favorite yet like I did last year. I think Gina is spunky, we'll see how she does.
It's funny how Simon gets so much grief over his opionion, but I agree with him on quite a bit. sometimes he needs to stop when he is ahead when he says "that wasn't good".
Looking forward to tonight...in case you are wondering...yes, I do vote:)
