Come out all you IDOL fans!

So while I have a few moments to kill (I've already spent all day updating this thing - what's another ten minutes huh?) let's talk about IDOL!!! Who do you like? Who don't you like? Here are some of my opinions on the show...

1. I used to dislike Paula because she was so fake. Now, she is faker then fake but I find I really like her. She is just so cheezy that I don't think she can help herself. I laugh every week when I hear what comes out of her mouth because I don't think she even knows until she hears herself say it. She come sup with the weirdest combination of words. Someone could be God-awful and says something like "you look really cute and... you have fans!" She just tries to make everyone feel good and I think it's actually kind of nice.

2. I'm a rocker chick this season - totally! I actually had a dream of Constantine last night (I am NOT even kidding and don't anyone dare tell my husband!) The thing is, he isn't even cute! If I saw him on the street, I'd probably turn the other way. But it's something about his whole presense- the sexy eye-stare thing, the leather jacket, the way he sings differently.... I will admit I did like him more a few weeks ago because lately, he seems a little stuck-up. And I don't know why because he really doesn't say anything rude to the judges but there is something about him. Maybe it's just the whole rocker thing. Maybe it's because I subconsciously compare him to Bo and Bo is just a better singer. But I DO still like Constantine because he's a New Yorker (so there is a chance I may one day run into him!!!!!!!!!!!!) and he is TALL.... wow! Did you ever notice that? I know Seacrest is a peanut but check out how tall Constantine is this week.

3. BO! I love BO! I take full credit in my house for "discovering" him. I said I liked him during the early auditions when he got like 10 nanoseconds of air time and I thought he had a really cool, 70's rocker kind of thing going on and everyone was like "Who? Bo? What?" Then I heard he was in Hollywood and I was so excited! You kind of lose track of many contestants during the early weeks because they don't show you everyone who made it through. Anyway, Bo Bice... what a cool name huh? He is really great. He is a TOTALLY different rocker-dude then Constantine- maybe that's why I still like both. Bo actually has an amazing voice. If he doesn't win this (I really hope he goes far.. I am so tired of hearing the same old guys who have voices like women and sing ballads every week. Do something DIFFERENT will you!) I think he has a 99% shot of a record deal - I'd be a customer!

4. Carrie. She has a great voice and I love that she is a country-type of girl and doesn't feel the need to dress all Britney-ish when she sings. But the past 2 weeks have been kind of boring. I hope she steps it up, like Nadia! She is a cool chick. She just doesn't care - she wears funky stuff and just goes out there and rocks it! I hope she sings fast songs as opposed to slow because I like watching her get realy into it. I'm not a slow-song kid of person on these shows, for the most part.

5. Anwar... wow! I didn't like him at first (and I'll admit part of it was because of that feminine hair) but this past week he was awesome! Totally awesome! He had me singing "What A Wonderful World" all damn week! I loved that he changed it up too. And I've been aching to like him because he really does seem like a great guy - super nice and he teaches music to students - how sweet is that. :) So finally... this week, he did a great job of grabbing another Anwar fan! Goooo Anwar! (now please stay great and don't make me dislike you this week! LOL!)

6. Jessica. The last blonde girl who performed this week. I love her voice! Awesome! However, her outfit this week was "dreadful", to borrow a word from Simon. Holy cow she looked dumpy. I kept saying to Vinny (who kept staring googley-eyed at her boobs) "I bet there are a lot of posts on the Idol board from parents complaining about her outfit" because after all, this is a family show. Don't get me wrong - some cleavage is good and especially if you have the body for it. but she doesn't really have the body and this is not the place to be throwing your breasts in people's faces. Even the jeans and boots were all wrong. So anyway, great voice but needs help from the IDOL stylists from here on in.

Everyone else is ok. Nothing pops to mind that I feel the need to really report on.

In case you don't know how we work it over here, we have an IDOL pool and we all get together on IDOL night's next door. I don't know when this inflation took place but it used to be $1 into the pot every week. Now it's $2 everynight the contestants perform so since there was a guy's night and a girl's night for the past 3 weeks, it's been $4 each week into the pot! Needless to say, I'm like $12 in the hole right now... I wonder if my brother will take a check? HAHA I keep forgetting to pay!

I am in 2nd place (with 4 other people) in the pool... so not too bad! but it really means nothing at this stage of the game because there is still so much time left. I got 3 out of 4 points this week by kicking off the two correct girls (good riddance Janay!!!!) and 1 correct guy (Travis - he looked like a Disney World performer with those dance moves).

Until later this week, fellow IDOL fans!
